Scotland Head Coach McNeil To Discuss Future With Camanachd Association.

16 November 2010

Scotland Head Coach Drew McNeil will take time to discuss his own future and that of the Shinty / Hurling scene following the narrow defeat to Ireland in the Marine Harvest Shinty / Hurling series.

In the aftermath of the game, McNeil said, “The coaching staff in time will all individually decide their position, but I hope they have all enjoyed the experience. However we do ask an awful lot of the coaches (and the players) so time will tell.”

“Personally I don’t feel I attained the standards that I aspire to so I will be having a discussion with Graham Cormack surrounding that. We’ll also discuss the whole Shinty v Hurling scene and how we use these matches to improve the standard of play within shinty, enhance shinty and raise our profile on the sporting road map.”

Scotland were 22-21 victors at Croke Park, Dublin on 30 October 2010 which gave them a 3-1 lead in the series. The Scot’s earned 2 points for the win with both sides gaining an extra point for scoring 2 goals or more.

Ireland were 21-16 winners at the Bught Park, Inverness on Saturday 13 November 2010. This gave the Irish a 3-1 triumph as they earned 2 points for the win with both sides gaining an extra point for scoring 2 goals or more.

This squared the match at 4-4 but Ireland won the 2010 Marine Harvest Quaich thanks to their 42-38 aggregate score.
