Ceilidh for Isle of Skye shinty club

[Hailkeepur]

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.
