Ceilidh for Isle of Skye shinty club

[pdcorlis]

Thanks to both of you gentlemen - my one clear recollection of shinty was seeing a thundering heard amassed moving this way and that with sticks a flying. At the time I thought - "why bother with a referee?"

If only we could see that on the tele here in the states...

vmac = lady, thank you very much. I guess the Victoria at the end of the post isn't a very good clue. That aside, look up shinty on Youtube. There are several matches to watch.

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.
