ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY SHINTY CLUB ABOUT SHINTY HOME ABOUT SHINTY TRAINING COMMITTEE ... EMAIL US A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GAME Shinty (or 'camanachd' - in gaelic) is Scotland's true national sport, which has developed over hundreds of years from ancient Celtic 'stick and ball' pastimes. This game was important to the development to the highlander warrior in battle. Today the game has progressed to become a safer sport, without loosing any of the fundamental elements of the game, such as skill, stamina and courage. HOW SHINTY IS PLAYED The game starts in the centre by two opposing players crossing sticks above their head and then the ball is then thrown up between them. Players can strike the ball with either side of their stick, a skill that can make all the difference in a game. The ball can be kept up by bouncing it on the stick and struck in the air (providing it is safe to do so). The goals resemble that of hockey, but are taller and the keeper is the only player who may use his hands to palm shots away. Players can stop the ball with their feet but may not 'kick' it. Shinty's version of throw ins are called 'shys', where the ball is thrown above the head and struck directly above the player. A unique feature of shinty is the tackling skills, where players may block shots from the front or knock ('cleek') an opponent's stick from behind. Shinty games last 45 minutes per half, however, there are beginners' games ('first shinty') with modified plastic sticks with a rubber head to allow safe development of skills. Also, games of 6 a-side are played and prove to be popular with newcomers to the sport.

4th March 1998 Little Johns Match Report The first match of the day was contested between St Andrews and Strathclyde. A tight battle which St Andrews deserved to shade but could not clinch finished 0-0. St Andrews were to find themselves playing the second match in their group and despite training two of the opposition were comfortable winners 5-0. The other group saw Aberdeen look formidable with a convincing victory over Edinburgh, who saw themselves taking an early bath from the competition as Glasgow managed to win also. Aberdeen vs. Glasgow looked to be an early indication of how the final would be played, as nobody expected either side to be defeated easily. The Glasweigians were solid with Duncan McDougall running the show from centre back. Glasgow were victors by two goals to nil. The final was much anticipated since the two teams had met only 17 days earlier and had been a thriller with Glasgow shading it by the odd goal in eleven. The trophy was to pass once more to the west coast, with Glasgow playing the best shinty of the tournament so far. A resounding 4-0(3) scoreline blessed the national papers in the morning, a brave fight from a St Andrews team who had lost crucial players in the form of Gerkin and Cybil due to injuries during the match. All was not mournful for five of the St Andrews team that evening, as Trotter, Toad, Gerkin, Trish and Baffi were all selected for the Scottish University squad.

52. Siol Nan Gaidheal: Camanachd; Scotlands Ancient Game - Shinty Siol nan Gaidheal. Camanachd. shinty, or camanachd as it is knownin the Gaidhealtachd, is an extremely ancient game. Believed to http://www.siol-nan-gaidheal.com/camanachd.htm

Siol nan Gaidheal Camanachd the pure Scottish sport, and one of the oldest gaming contests in the land, derived its original source from shinty players practising driving the ball with the caman, the curved stick used in the game.  Apocryphal or otherwise, the vision of a player striking the ball with the caman is very reminiscent of the golf swing, and early golf clubs were indeed merely long curved sticks. Mens sano in corpore sano Book of the Society of the True Gael .  Aberdeen University Shinty Club can lay claim to being the first known club with written rules of play, but the clubs increased in number greatly over two decades, and by 1880 the first printed rules and constitution of a Highland Shinty Club were introduced by Strathglass Camanachd Club.  The Camanachd Association was formally instituted at Kingussie on Tuesday, 10 th October 1893.  By 1896, when the Camanachd Cup became the first final for a national trophy, the rules had been modified to become the game recognisable today. The modern game is played between two teams of twelve players on a field between 140 - 170 yards long and 70 - 80 yards wide. The goals are 12 feet wide and 10 feet high. The ball, with an interior of cork or worsted and an outer of leather, is between 7.5 - 8 inches in circumference, weighing between 2.5 - 3 ounces.  The caman is a bit like a hockey stick, with a curved end, but the head may not be larger than can pass through a ring of 2.5 inches diameter, and is shaped with an angled surface on each side - so the cross section of the end of the caman is triangular. The angled faces give the ball lift when struck.  The game is played in two halves of 45 minutes each. The game is much more of a physical contact sport than hockey - players may block the swing of their opponent's caman. Although the ball is often played in the air, the true skills of the shinty player are very much on the ground - shinty is a very fast and open passing game.

55. Dunoon Shinty Club Youth shinty Club DUNOON Argyll Scotland. Childrens' shinty Club. Rules. Dunoonshinty Club was founded in 2000 by a small group of enthusiastic parents. http://www.robdownie.supanet.com/indexmain.html

Dunoon Shinty Club was founded in 2000 by a small group of enthusiastic parents. A committee was formed and the club was set upwith a mixture of boys and girls from Dunoon and Innellan. Bobby Crowe, whose family members played for Kyles Athletic took on the role of coach and today virtually runs the club single handed. With a very kind donation of strips by an Irish team participating in the Cowal Shinty tournament the youngsters were ready to play their first games and duly entered the local Cowal and Bute First Shinty tournament. At the same time a local primary school at Sandbank Dunoon also set up a first shinty club and a friendly rivalry thus began. Although they lost many of their games the potential of the Dunoon team, especially the very young, became apparent to everyone watching them and before long they were soon winning more than they lost. Their main opposition, unsurprisingly, came from the youngsters of Kyles Athletic with their long history in the sport but it was not long until the Dunoon team were matching them. This year (2002) coach Bobby Crowe has been pleased to see Dunoon become the dominant team in Cowal. Winning the Bute First Shinty Tournament both the 'A' and 'B' competitions, and qualifying for the national tournament at Fort William.

Shinty club leads community action in Lochcarron Lochcarron Camanachd Shinty Club is one of the many community-based organisations to apply successfully to RACE for Community Action Grants (CAGs). The club is among the most active of community organisations in this small west coast village and in tandem with a project to create a full-size shinty pitch it set out to develop an adjacent area of land as a playground for pre-school children. The £34,500 extension to the shinty pitch was supported with a CAG of £13,800 from RACE and additional funds from the Scottish Sports Council Lottery Fund. Meanwhile, a £2,830 CAG helped to complete the funding package for the £27,400 playground which was also supported by the National Lotteries Charity Board and Smiths Charity. Lochcarron Camanachd Shinty Club representative, George Hendry, said: "Lochcarron has traditionally been an under-funded community - which means that we are well experienced at raising money. On both these projects I feel very positive about RACE's contribution. They were extremely helpful and constructive from the beginning - and it's true to say that without the help of RACE neither project would not have happened."
