Extractions: by Per G Olsson Shinty is played by about 40 clubs, mainly in the Scotish Highlands. When the rules of Shinty were getting formalised there was a long-going feud over if Shinty should be played in kilts or not (modern shinty isn't) and if gaelic should be the only language allowed. After these differences were sorted out, the sport got more unified and organised in the late 19th century and the oldest trophy still contested is the Camanachd (Gaelic for Shinty) Association Challange Cup, which Kingussie was the first to win in 1896. A few clubs have dominated Shinty in it's 100+ history: Newtonmore, Kyles Athletic and Kingussie have won over two-thirds of the finals. The similarity of Shinty to Bandy and Hurling is obvious, the grass pitch is similar to that of Hurling and larger than that of Bandy: 130-155m by 65-70m and the goals are much larger than Bandy goals: 3.66m wide and 3.05m high. Shinty is played by twelve players compared to the eleven of Bandy. Corners are taken like in Football, the off-side rule is identical to that of Hurling, i.e. no attacking player is allowed enter the goal area (ten yard area) before the ball, goals are counted as in Bandy and Football, with which Shinty also share the duration of play (2x45 mins). There is no rule against high sticks like the one in Bandy.

Extractions: SHINTY'S PLACE AND SPACE IN WORLD SPORT1 Hugh Dan MacLennan Aberdeen University, Scotland Shinty - iomain or camanachd in Scottish Gaelic - was introduced to Scotland along with Christianity and the Gaelic language nearly two thousand years ago by Irish missionaries. Indeed, it is worth noting, 1,400 years after St Columba's death, that the venerable Saint is said to have arrived on these shores as a result of a little local difficulty at an Irish hurling match.2 While shinty's place in world sport has been recognised in terms of its historical pedigree and connection with its cultural cousin of hurling in Ireland, its provenance world-wide and its significance as one of the cultural anchors which emphasised the "Scottish-ness" of Gaels forced abroad has been consistently under-estimated, if not ignored completely. Shinty, or some similar version of stick and ball games, has been played through time virtually UK-wide, from wind-swept St Kilda to the more hospitable and gentler plains of the Scottish Borders; from the Yorkshire moors to Blackheath in London. It is a game of great antiquity. It is linked (not always with complete accuracy) to golf and ice hockey, and is also to be found in a much wider space from the plains of Montevideo in the mid-nineteenth century, to Toronto and Canada's Maritime Provinces; from the blistering heat of New Year's Day in Australia 150 years ago, to Cape Town and also the war-ravaged wastes of Europe through two World Wars. Shinty, as with many other aspects of Highland heritage (notably the Gaelic language) has been frequently threatened: by Statute, the influence of Sabbatarianism following the Reformation, the savage dislocation of the Highland Clearances and in more modern times, by harsh economic reality and a falling birth-rate.

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/8287/shinty.html

Extractions: Glenurquhart, part of the Great Glen which encompasses Drumnadrochit, Lewiston and various other areas, has had a shinty team since 1885. Shinty is a hard and fast game played with a club called a 'caman' and a small ball, the objective being to score as many goals with the caman as possible. When the 'Glen' first started playing shinty last century the team comprised of fifteen players, today a team normally has twelve players. Glenurquhart Shinty team at a match against Strathglass, dated 12th of February 1887, at the Bught Park, Inverness and is generally considered to be a landmark in the establishment of the Camanachd rules of which some are still in use today. The 'Glen' won two nil. As you may notice the team in this photograph has 22 players.

http://www.eusu.ed.ac.uk/clubs/shinty/

Extractions: Shinty is Scotland's national sport and the University Club is one of the oldest in the Sports Union - founded in 1890. The game has sometimes been described as 'hockey without rules' but the lack of restrictions in shinty results in a hard, fast and skilful game with a big enjoyment factor. At Edinburgh, the Shinty Club offers a unique chance to represent the University as well as playing National League Shinty in the South Division 2. As a smaller Club we offer a great team spirit both on and off the park and we ensure that everyone gets involved in the action in one way or another. On the social front we are the organisers of the legendary Shinty Club ceilidhs and are great believers in celebrations or commiserations depending on the result! We are always looking for new players so if you are a current player who has moved to Edinburgh or a complete novice who wants to learn more about the game, turn up at any training session. You won't regret it and we'd be glad to see you.
Northern California Camanachd Club
Based mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, with teams forming in the South Bay and the East Bay. Includes news, practice and games schedule, photos, rules, and related links.
http://www.foundrysite.com/shinty/

Extractions: Camanachd, also known as Shinty, has been played in the Highlands of Scotland for over 2000 years. It's a game of the stick and ball variety, similar to Field Hockey and Irish Hurling. There is also a similarity to Golf, in fact Golf is believed to have evolved from Shinty. Shinty played properly is more aerial than Field Hockey due to the wedge-shaped head of the Shinty Stick (called Caman in Scots Gaelic). We are mostly beginning level players of various ages, however we also have an experienced player from Scotland among our members. So far we are mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, with teams forming in the South Bay and the East Bay. Loaner equipment is available.

Secretary Mrs Rhona MacInnes, Mossfield, 61 Tangasdale, Barra HS9 5XW tel 01871 810610 Shinty in Barra has returned after an absense of 100 years. it is due to the hard work of a number of local enthusiasts that Barra children are now taking shinty into the next millennium. Around 30 children and their coaches are practising every Saturday in castlebay High School using First-Shinty sticks. The aim of the players and coaches is to enter teams in variuos competitions at under 12 and under 14 level. Although it takes 5 hours to travel to the mainland from Barra, the club realise that they are going to have to make the journey if they are to compete. There are also possibilities to play local 'derby' games against Uist Shinty Club and Lewis Camanachd. Recently Alan McMillan from Team Sport Scotland visited the island to work with the players and coaches. He was very impressed with what he saw and is confident that the Barra players will be able to hold their own in competition. The club has been supported by BARRATLANTIC who provided the club with strips. With local interest high and the players itching to get games, Barra Shinty Club are looking forward to 1999.

The Sport Of Shinty
A brief introduction to the sport of shinty. The other principal differencebetween shinty and many other ball sports is in its offside rule.
http://www.newtonmore.com/shinty/shinty.htm

Extractions: Newtonmore Camanachd Club A brief introduction to the sport of Shinty. Shinty - or Camanachd as it is known in Gaelic-speaking areas, is an ancient game, introduced along with Christianity and the Gaelic language over two thousand years ago by Irish missionaries. The game can undoubtedly lay claim to being Scotland's true national sport - it is even claimed, with some justification, that golf was born out of players practising the art of driving the ball with the caman - the curved stick used by shinty players. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, efforts were made to bring together shinty teams from around Scotland, many playing different rules, or variations of the sport under a common set of rules. This led to a meeting from which the current Camanachd Association was formed, on Tuesday 10th October 1893. The game is started when two opposing players cross camans above their heads and the referee throws the ball into the air above their camans. When the ball goes out of play at the sidelines, it is hit back into play by a player throwing the ball in the air above his head and striking it with the back of his caman - above his head - with both feet on the ground and parallel to the sideline. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to handle the ball - and even he may only slap the ball with the flat of his hand - he may not catch or grasp it in any way. The other principal difference between shinty and many other ball sports is in its off-side rule. In shinty, a player is off-side if he enters the ten-yard area around the goal (marked on the pitch) before the ball enters the area - either on the ground or in the air - it is irrelevant how many defending players may be in the vicinity, or goal side of the ball.

http://loch-awe.com/shinty/

Extractions: Looking East from the ground, towards Ben Lui The Glenorchy Ground is at the west end of Dalmally - turn into the Mart and through the gate at the west end of the Mart to reach the pitch. Old letters and poetry show that organised shinty was played in Dalmally in and about 1880. These games were played by teams from each side of the River Orchy for a cup presented by a Mr Macdonald, who had returned from Australia. The contests took place on New Year's Day and continued up to 1932. While the game continued to be played in the district, it was not until 1947 that Glenorchy Camanachd was formed.
