ABOUT

Calcio Storico Fiorentino has been played in Florence, Tuscany since the Renaissance. The first organised match took place on February 17, 1530. It was revived in the 20th Century, first under the 1930s government of Mussolini, and then again after World War II in the Italian Republic. Earlier matches dating back to the 1400s mention games played in breaks between work by workers [Reference: 2-5]

The matches usually take place during the June Festival period, with four teams, Azzurri, Bianchi, Rossi and Verdi (Blues, Whites, Reds and Greens) representing the four quarters of the city of Florence. The match is played between 54 players – two teams of 27 – with teams reversing ends after each score. It is played on sand in the Plaza. There are usually a Semi-Finals and Final. Half Points are scored, and teams play in traditional dress. [References: 4-5]

The game play features the 27 players playing on a rectangular field of sand, measuring 80 metres by 40 metres. Nets at each end of the field span the entire width of the field. The aim is to score more goals than the opponent. Each team consists of 4 Goalkeepers, 3 fullbacks, 5 halfbacks and 15 forwards. There are little or no rules to the game. Players can punch, kick, wrestle or headbut their opponents, but cannot kick to the head and more than one player cannot attack another player at any one time. There are no substitutes and if your team has a player ejected or injured they are down a man. [References: 10]

Players are volunteers and the strategy of the forwards is to incapacitate or injure the opposing team while the halfbacks and fullbacks try to run with the ball through to other endbefore trying to score. Cacce (Goals) are scored by throwing or kicking the ball into the opposing teams net. If the ball goes over the net a half-cacce (half-goal) is scored for the opponent [References: 10]. The Rules were first described by Giovanni de’Bardi (a Florentine count) in 1580 and the draw for the semi-finals is made on Easter Sunday by drawing four different coloured balls. [Reference: 11]

Irish Kabaddi Team in Kerala State Championships 2010

Report

As part of their Irish Television Series “Colin and Graham’s Excellent Adventures” the two protagonists set up a Irish Kabaddi Team and enter the Kerala State Championships in India. The Irish Kabaddi Team lost their first game by seven points, but as they said themselves they put Ireland on the Kabaddi Map. For a Video of the Game please visit the video link in References [1] below.

ABOUT

Kabaddi is an Indian Tag Game, popular throughout South Asia, whereby a team has to tag players on the opposing team and get back to their own base without being tagged in turn in the time it takes to hold their breath. In order to ensure the players are holding their breath they have to repeat “Kabaddi” over and over again. It is India’s Regional and Traditional Sport, like Hurling in Ireland.

Shinty Matches in Ireland 18th Century

Scoreboard

Note: Actual Date in 1779 unknown. References: [S-2]

Report

Even by the 18th Century the differences between Hurley/Hurling, also known as Summer or Leinster Hurling or Iomáiníocht in Irish, and Camán or Camánaíocht in Irish, which was played across the Northern Half of the Island of Ireland, and Shinty or Camanachd in Scottish Gaelic, which was played primarily in the Scottish Highlands, was discernible from the reports. [References: S-1 to S-2]

A game of ‘Shiney’ was played in 1779 between the local Cork Racket Court Club and the 81st Regiment. It was described as the ‘Caledonian Game’ and must be the earliest reference to a game of Shinty in Ireland. [References: S-2]

Kingussie were already out in front of the 2022 Camanachd Association Shinty Mowi Premiership with victories over Caberfeidh (7-0), Kilmallie (2-1), and Kyles Athletic (2-0) leaving them on 6 points, one ahead of Newtonmore who had wins against Kinlochshiel (3-1) and Glasgow Mid Argyll (2-0) but were held to a 2-2 draw by Kyles Athletic.

Kinlochshiel were in third on four points following wins over Caberfeidh (2-0) and Oban Camanachd (2-0). That loss for Oban Camanachd was their first of the season following a win Glasgow Mid Argyll (3-0) and the loss was followed up with a big win versus Caberfeidh (5-1). Caberfeidh themselves had a win over Glasgow Mid Argyll (3-2) amid the big losses, and Kyles Athletic were also on two points after adding a draw with Fort William (2-2) following their earlier draw with Newtonmore as were Lovat who defeated Kilmallie 3-0 in their only league match in March. Both Glasgow Mid Argyll and Kilmallie had yet to secure a point. [References: S-1 to S-11]

About Shinty Premiership 2022

The 2022 Camanachd Association Shinty Mowi Premiership features the top 10 Shinty Clubs in Scotland (Alba in Gaelic), which were determined from the top teams in the Senior A to Senior C Regional Leagues imposed in 2021 due to Covid-19 Restrictions. These teams were Kinlochshiel, Kilmallie and Fort William (Senior A – Central); Caberfeidh, Kingussie, Lovat and Newtonmore (Senior B – North); Kyles Athletic, Oban Camanachd and Glasgow Mid Argyll (Senior C – South)

ABOUT SHINTY

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. It is also known as Camanachd in Scottish Gaelic.
