Had a great day out yesterday at the London Shinty Festival! We were so close to securing the tournament with winning 3 games and a draw but unfortunately conceding a goal in one of our final games. A fantastic effort from the team leaving us 3rd place against some very strong sides. Thank you to London Camanachd for hosting! And congratulations to Cornwall Shinty Club for winning the tournament.

Thank you to Cornwall Shinty Club for hosting us on Saturday for our first away match. Despite the loss, we had a fantastic time playing against our friends beside the sea.

In the end it was 7-1 to Cornwall, after being 1-0 up in the first quarter, then 1-1 by half time. Unfortunately after that injuries and no subs had their cumulative effect on the score in Cornwall’s favour.

If you’re interested in getting involved in Shinty, please drop us a DM for more information!
