Ceilidh for Isle of Skye shinty club

[Alan H]

X Marker TimC plays on a local shinty team.

Jock, when our local Heavy Athletes break for lunch, the shinty teams take over, usually from 12;00 to 1:30 and play a short match on the field. So I've seen a bit of shinty, over here.

What do you think of the game, Alan?

Just watching the start of the Inveraray Vs Kingussie match at Oban on TV as I type.A beautiful day and pitch.

Result: Inveraray 4, Kingussie 3. A very good match.

Oh, it looks like a great old time...lots of exercise, can be played by people from low to very high skill levels. It has all the tactics and strategy of lacrosse and soccer.

I bet it's a blast to play.

Hello,
I was the original poster of the Skye Information, we are the Northern California Camanachd Club and are hosting Skye Camanachd for a series of matches, ceilidhs, cultural seminars etc. For a schedule of events open to the public and related details go to http://norcalshinty.com/schedule.html . I play Goal Keepur or the order version which was called Hail Keepur.

The Ceilidh for Skye last Sat was a huge success lots of great music, singing, dancing and drinking. The Skye Boys along with a couple of subs from our local club went on to beat the Irish 10 to 4 in a Compromise Rules Shinty-Hurling on Sunday. No small accomplishment as several of the Skye Boys had not made it to bed after the Ceilidh. These Compromise rules between Scottish and Irish teams have been going on since the 1920's and in part are intended to shown both the common roots of the sports but also how each has evolved in it's own way. We will be having Shinty Matches at the Pleasanton Games this upcoming weekend.
