I THINK hurling is more of an Irish game,it is played in Scotland, but not much.There are I THINK 15 per side in a hurling team whilst 11 a side for shinty. The hurling goal is a cross between a soccer goal and rugby posts I am not sure how the scoring works and I THINK the hurling stick is not shaped like a shinty stick(caman). There you go, I have exhausted my knowlege on hurling and even that may be wrong!
THE shinty teams of repute would include, Fort William, Kilmallie,Kingussie,Newtonmore,Oban.
