Shinty clubs throughout Scotland are eagerly awaiting the release of the 2010 league fixtures list.

The Camanachd Association will be issuing details of the new season’s fixtures shortly and clubs will be hoping for a favourable start so that they can make a good opening to their new campaigns.

The 2009 Scottish Hydro Premier Division was one of the most exciting in recent times and Badenoch rivals Kingussie and Newtonmore will look to get off to a new start as will Fort William who are under new management. Newly promoted Lovat and Glasgow Mid Argyll will also hope to get points at on the board as soon as possible.

Marine Harvest North Division 1 also promises to be another tight affair. The league looks just as strong as last season with Lochaber replacing 2009 champions Lovat.

Recently relegated Glenorchy and newly promoted Taynuilt will strengthen Marine Harvest South Division 1 whilst Kilmory will be keen to get off to a better start than last season when they lost their opening 3 games before going on an unbeaten run.
