Strathclyde do the Double! After their fantastic success in the university league this year, Strathclyde went into the Littlejohn Vase brimming with confidence that they could triumph over all other uni's for a second time this year. And they weren't disappointed. After a tough game versus St Andrews and a goalless draw against Glasgow in the group stages, Strathclyde proceeded to record a win over Dundee, the only team to have beaten them this year, in the semi-finals. A convincing 4-0 mauling over Robert Gordon's University in the final ensured that there would only be the name "Strathclyde" on the trophy this year. A full report of the day (every last detail you'll be pleased to hear) is found here © University of Strathclyde Shinty Club 2004

What ancient Scottish team sport will you see at the Livermore Scottish Games in 2006? The answer to all these questions is Shinty! So, what is Shinty? Shinty (also called camanachd or iomain in Scots Gaelic) is a stick and ball game, a cousin of Field Hockey and Hurling, and an ancestor of Golf. It is believed that Ice Hockey developed from Scots immigrants playing Shinty on the Canadian ice. “Some of my friends refer to Shinty as combat golf,” jokes Michael Bentley, one of the founders of the Northern California Camanachd Club, “and it’s also been described as ‘field hockey without all those bothersome rules!’” Shinty has a rich history as part the Scottish Gaelic culture. The sport has traditionally been part of New Years celebrations in the Highlands and has been memorialized in story and song by poets and singers down through the years.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SHINTY What's older than kilts? Shinty! Shinty iomain or camanachd in Scottish Gaelic) is a team sport of the stick and ball variety that has been played in the Scottish Highlands for many generations. Shinty's origins date back nearly 2,000 years, and it can claim hurling as a cousin, and hockey and golf as descendants. Why haven't I heard of Shinty before? The Shinty season has traditionally run from Fall to Spring (though this changed in 2004, the season now runs from March to October) and so most folks who visited during summer vacation did not have an opportunity to see the game being played. It is also true that Shinty is not played in all parts of Scotland. The game has close ties with the Gaelic culture and has generally flourished in the Gaidhealtachd. A great many teams can be found in close proximity to the Great Glen, between Inverness and Fort William, and on the West Coast. Teams also exist in other locales, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and St. Andrews. A brief overview of the rules Two teams (usually of six or twelve players a side) play on a field of similar proportions and size to a soccer pitch. The players use Camans (hooked/curved sticks with a triangular cross section) to strike the shinty ball, either in the air or on the ground, with the intention of scoring a goal. As in soccer, a goalkeeper guards the goal nets, which measure 12 feet across and 10 feet high. A shinty match is either 30 minutes (for six-a-side) or 90 minutes (for twelve-a-side) in length, divided into two halves with a short break between. A referee regulates play, enforcing rules and calling fouls for illegal and/or dangerous play. There are also side judges and goal judges to assist in calling side-outs, end-outs and goals. A more detailed explanation of the rules can be found elsewhere on the US Camanachd site (
