Report

In 2000-01 the Camanachd Association Shinty National League Division 1 was won by Inveraray on goal difference from Lochcarron, who made no mistake the following year, winning promotion to the National Premier League by 5 points from Lochaber. Lochaber were runners-up again in 2002-03 as Kyles Athletic made the jump to first from 6th the previous year to gain promotion. The Shinty National League Division 1 was the second level of the Camanachd Association Men’s Shinty Leagues in Scotland at the time.

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.

Hurling-Shinty Internationals Ireland v Scotland 1972-1979 [Reference: 1]

Report

The Hurling-Shinty International Series, first played in 1897, was revived in 1972 for the first time since the Tailteann Games of 1932. The Compromise Rules of the Tailteann Games were used with the first three games goals (3 Points) and Overs (1 Point), Ireland winning all three, having the advantage that there are no overs in Shinty and the Scottish game is largely played on the ground. The 1975 contest was cancelled and the series came back in 1976 as a goals-only contest with Ireland winning three of the matches, and one ending in a draw after extra-time. The series was discontinued from 1980-1987.

About Hurling-Shinty International Rules

Hurling-Shinty International Rules, also known as Compromise Rules, is a game featuring as its name suggests a compromise between the two codes of Gaelic Hurling: Irish Hurling (15-a-side and Points over the bar as well as goals) and Scottish Shinty (12-a-side, Goals only). currently the sport is 14-a-side with both goals and points over tha bar counting, although in the past 13-a-side has been used, as well numerous scoring systems, such as Goals-and-points, Goals-only, Goals-and-Points-with-a-double-score-for-a-Scottish-Shinty-Point (Shinty is played on the ground, giving Hurling, which is played through the air an advantage in points); and Goals-Points-And-Behinds (worth 6 points, 3 Points and 1 Point respectively as opposed to 3 points for a goal an one for a point usually).There is also a Camogie-Shinty version of the game for Women.

Mick McGowan Irish-born Darts Player 1989-Present

Mick McGowan - Irish-born Professional Darts Player — Mick McGowan – Irish-born Professional Darts Player [Reference: 2][Picture Credit: Darts Database]

Profile

Mick McGowan, the Balbriggan, Co. Fingal, Darts Champion, made history in 2003 when he became only the third Irishman in the 500 year history of Darts in the Republic of Ireland to score a perfect 9 darts 501. His nine dart score was 177, 180, 144 (60, 60, 24 finish). What made it more impressive was that it happened at the All Ireland Open Singles Championship in Kilkenny. He started with two treble 20s, and then a treble 19, before putting up three treble 20s, and finishing on two treble 20s and a double 12. He admitted that it wasn’t until he was going for the double 12 that he had a shot at the 501.

Mick first picked up darts at the age of 12, and had been playing darts for 18 years when the feat occured. It was the individual nature of darts which first attractedhim, you are not dependent on a team he said. He was Irish Youth Darts Champion in 1989, and graduated to the senior ranks, remaining in the top 20 of Irish players for 3 years. He played Darts for Ireland, captaining the squad in Switzerland in the World Darts Championship. His hero and role model was Eric Bristow, who he tried to copy.

McGowan’s other major accolade prior to this was winning player of the tournament at the Home Internationals at Portrush in Northern Ireland in 1996, becoming the only Irishman ever to achieve the accolade in the British Isles (Atlantic Isles). He played at the Milestone Inn in Balbriggan, Horse and Jockey in Inchicore, and at the time of this achievement, Whyte’s Pub in Stamullen. He wasinvolved in the Rush Darts League, Duleek and District Darts League and two Major Dublin Superleagues.

This launched him on a career in Darts, winning the Ireland Autumn Open Classic in 2005 and 2006

He went on to compete professionally in the Professional Darts Corporation, reaching the last 32 of the PDC World Darts Championship in 2007 and 2008, and the last 16 of the PDC World Cup of Darts in 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2017. He earned his Tour Card in 2011 and again from 2016 to 2018, and has ranked in the DDB since 2005.

About American Football

American Football, and its close cousin, Canadian Football are two variations of Gridiron Footbal, the dominant codes of the game in both countries. Both codes evolved side by side from Rugby fron the 1850s onwards, with Canadian Football currently employing 12-player squads as opposed to American Football which plays 11v11. Unlike in Rugby forward passes are allowed by the Quarterback (each position in Gridiron Football is highly specialised). Scoring is similar to Rugby except a Touchdown (Try) is worth 6 points, and a conversion kick one point. teams have the option of passing or running the conversion into the endzone (where one must score the touchdown) for two points. The main object of the sports are to get the ball into the other teams endzone (endzones are at either end of the pitch). Teams do not have unlimited attempts to do so, however, and if they do not make 10 yards in four downs (attempts) the ball is turned over (3 downs in Canadian Football). Teams have the option of kicking a Field Goal, worth 3 points, if they think they won’t make the 10 yards. In Canadian Football there is also a ‘Rouge’, whereby one point is scored if the ball is kicked through the other teams endzone. Another popular version of the game in Mexico and USA is Arena or Indoor Football, which is played on a 50 yard field with two 8 yard endzones, with teams having 5 downs in which to score, three of which must be passing plays. It is played on converted Ice Hockey Rinks. A Canadian Football field is 110 yards long with two 20 yard endzones and an American Football field is 100 yards long with two 10 yard endzones.
