	Shinty/Hurling
		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.
		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.
