	The Shinty Website - History
		During the period of these two universal conflicts, organised shinty was discontinued and many of the playing generations then were lost to campaigns far distant from the pitches where they had followed this deeply-loved recreation of their ancestors.
		In common with other sports, shinty moved out of a long previous history of unwritten rules and widely differing local variations in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
		The teams were fourteen a side and the occasion clearly showed the need for one authority to control the playing of shinty.

	Shinty Sticks (Camans)
		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.
		The Shinty season has traditionally run from Fall to Spring (though this is changing in 2004) and so most folks who visit during summer vacation do not have an opportunity to see the game being played.
		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.

	Shinty/Hurling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		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.
		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 (also called camanachd or iomain in Scots Gaelic) remains a part of Highland folk tradition and has also become a modern sport, its rules being codified in the late 19th century (about the same time that baseball's rules were set down).
		In fact shinty continues to be played by many in Scotland with the Camanachd Association (founded in 1893) overseeing men's and women's leagues for different age groups and skill levels.
		The game of Shinty is played by two teams (usually 6 or 12 players a side) on a field of similar proportions (though generally larger) to a soccer pitch.

		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).
		The fundamental difference between hockey and shinty is that in the game of shinty there is no restriction on the swing of the caman.
		Shinty is still a truly amateur sport, although the level of skill and athletic ability demands great things of the players.

		Admittedly, shinty’s overhaul came largely at the behest of sportscotland, which requested a wide-ranging review in 2001.
		Yet the important thing is that change has happened - the most radical move being to switch shinty from the winter to the summer - and the brave new dawn is set to last for two years, at least.
		One might be linked to the theory that shinty spawned golf, and the fact that a high proportion of players are also golfers; a conflict of interests that has deprived some teams of players.

		There is a place in mens shinty for women - making halftime teas - tending to the wounded - washing and ironing strips etc. Seriously, women contribute a lot to shinty at all levels in different tasks but there is no way they should compete with men at senior level.
		Being a volunteer who gives up their time for the good of Shinty (and in most cases for their own personal enjoyment) does not give you thought and opinion control over all other shinty supporters and volunteers, I had hoped that such control freakery was starting dissipate from our sports psyche.
		In general we forget that Shinty is everyone's hobby, no-one wants to cancel games but the fickle weather at this time of the year makes this a fact of life.
