About
Shinty is Gaelic Scotland’s traditional version of Hurling. It is one of the forgotten Gaelic, Celtic or Atlantic Games like Basque Pelota and Welsh Baseball, played mostly in Gaelic parts of Scotland like the Highlands and Islands.
The game is very similar to Hurling, with a curved stick used to hit a ball through a goal, except there is no point-over-the-bar and less play in the air. The game is 12-a-side as opposed to Hurling’s 15-a-side.
Report
In 2013 the Premier League underwent a rebranding as the Premiership, and Newtownmore won the title from 2013-2016, before Kinlochshiel ended their streak in 2017. Newtownmore won the title back in 2018.
