   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search A shinty game in progress Shinty Scottish Gaelic camanachd or iomain ) is a team sport played with sticks and a ball. Shinty is now played almost exclusively in the Highlands of Scotland , and amongst Highland migrants to the big cities, but it was formerly more widespread, reaching as far as England The sport was derived from the same root as the Irish game of hurling , and is similar to bandy Shinty is one of the forebears of ice hockey : in 1800, Scottish immigrants to Nova Scotia played a game on ice at Windsor . In Canada , informal hockey games are still called shinny . Shinty is often compared to hurling , yet has many different rules and features. The old form of hurling played in the northern half of Ireland resembled shinty more closely than the standardised form of hurling of today. Like shinty it was commonly known as cam¡nacht and was traditionally played in winter. In the Scottish Lowlands , it was formerly referred to as common cammon caman cammock (from Scottish Gaelic camag knotty and various other names.

   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: Official Shinty Website: www.shinty.com Shinty is unique to Scotland and one of the oldest games in the world. The game is similar to games such as hockey and lacrosse in some aspects and has historical roots with golf and ice hockey. As with lacrosse the game is a fast moving aerial game where physical fitness is tested to the limits. However, different from both hockey and lacrosse as in Shinty, feet can be used to stop the ball but not the hands (unless you are the goal-keeper). You can carrry the ball on your caman which can be also be swung above shoulder height.....a skilful eye and a sense of survival are paramount!!

   Extractions: Shinty is Scotland's national sport, a high-speed, full contact game with similarities to the Irish sport beloved of Guinness adverts; hurling. The game has sometimes been described as 'hockey without rules' but the lack of restrictions results in a hard, fast skillful game with a big enjoyment factor. Edinburgh University Shinty Club combines experienced players from Shinty's heartland with new players who fancy the challenge. University Shinty has a long history but is developing all the time and both Men's and Women's teams offer the chance to join a successful side competing across Scotland, with the men finishing 2nd in the SUSF League last year and the Women completing a Universities League and Cup double.

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, come and see us. You won't regret it and we'd be glad to see you.

    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.

    Extractions: Shinty hails from the Scottish Highlands and has a distinct Celtic influence - being similar to the Irish games of Hurling and Camogie. The sport is very fast and skilful, and requires a great deal of courage from its participants. Universities have played an instrumental part in the modern development of the sport in Scotland and its governing body, the Camanachd Association - Aberdeen University being the first fully constituted Shinty Club in Scotland. Scottish Universities Shinty continues to thrive today: providing high class Shinty in a winter league complimentary to the national summer season, and helping to introduce countless new players to the game - from all over the world. The closely-fought inter-university league programme runs from September to February, and comes to a head in the Littlejohn Vase - the fiercely competitive inter-university tournament contested since 1905. For up-to-date League Results, please download the following file: SUS Shinty League Results The Annual Eire-Alba-Oilthigh Camogie-Shinty-Hurling International is another highlight of the University calendar. Played every January, the match sees the cream of Scottish Student Shinty (both male and female) clash with an all-star select of Irish Camogie and Hurling players studying in Britain.
