Glengarry Development Day! | |
11 October 2018 Glengarry Shinty Club recently held their Annual Club Development Day with over 60 children enjoying a number of events. Ronald Ross was in attendance to oversee the ‘Garry junior coaches lay on some coaching and skills sessions following which the youngsters played some age-group matches against invited guests Ardnamurchan. In some close, competitive matches, Ardnamurchan ran out winners in the P3 & P5 games with Glengarry winning the P7 & U14s matches. The newly formed Ardnamurchan men’s team then played their first match against a Glengarry “Futures” squad. It was a decent contest and the experience from a few older heads helped Glengarry seal victory with Ardnamurchan looking sure to be a welcome addition to the shinty leagues soon. Glengarry offered thanks to event sponsors The Glengarry Trust and Marine Harvest Community Awards for allowing them to open up the club and bring the game of shinty to so many new faces. The continued hard work from volunteers, coaches and committee members has helped the club, who finished third in Marine Harvest North Division 1 last season in their first term following promotion from North 2; achieve their bronze level ClubMark certificate, presented to the committee by Ronald Ross. Glengarry, who have also completed their 2018 Development Plan, have made huge strides forward and now set their sights on the silver award for 2019. |
