Lochbroom Camanachd (The Broom) History of Lochbroom Camanachd. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lochbroom Camanachd is a shinty club from Ullapool, Scotland. It was founded in 1992.

It plays in Marine Harvest North Division 3. The club re-entered senior shinty in 2006 having gone into abeyance in 2000. History
The club was founded in 1992 but went into abeyance in 2000, however the club maintained a youth system which eventually reaped dividends and the club re-emerged at senior level in 2005 thanks to the efforts of Ruaraidh Hughes. Hughes was nominated for the BBC's Unsung

Hero Award at 2005's BBC Sports Personality of the Year due to a combination of his young age and struggles with Haemophilia. The first season back in the senior ranks in 2006 saw the Broom perform admirably but only finish in 9th out 10 teams, one place above fellow new boys Ardnamurchan Camanachd. 2007 saw an improvement in the young team, the club won the inaugural Cuach a' Chuain Sgith match played against Lewis Camanachd and overhauled their previous league points total for 2006. The club retained the Cuach in 2008 as they looked for promotion from Division Three. The club did not achieve promotion but garnered its highest ever points total, 20, and finished in 5th position - its highest placing since reformation. They were also knocked out of the Strathdearn Cup by Skye Camanachd, the first time the two sides had faced each other at senior level.

Lochbroom Camanachd will be holding a meeting on WEDNESDAY 25TH NOVEMBER at 7pm in THE MACPHAIL CENTRE, to discuss the way forward for the club.
With the help of Kenny Beaton, Youth Development Officer, junior shinty has had a welcome return with a successful 6 week block in the primary schools in the area. It is our intention to further this with a secondary school youth programme.
