Two National Shinty Leagues From 2014 | |
01 February 2013 There will be two national shinty leagues from the start of the 2014 shinty season. This is the outcome of the Camanachd Association’s Competitions Structure Review which was announced at the General Meeting in Fort William on Friday 1 February 2013. The top eight Orion Group Premiership shinty teams at the end of the 2013 shinty season will form National Division 1 whilst the bottom two clubs and the top three sides from North Division 1 and South Division 1 will make up National Division 2. The principal reasons for the changes were to shorten the season for the Orion Group Premiership which has often not finished until late November and to introduce a stronger competition in the new Marine Harvest National Division 1. Speaking on the outcome of the review, Camanachd Association Competitions Director, Richard Gall, “I am confident that this is the right option to take forward for the 2014 season. I would like to thank the Competitions Review Committee and those who participated in the public consultation.” |
