Newtonmore Camanachd Look To Resurrect Annual Veterans Sixes. | |
30 March 2012 Newtonmore Camanachd Club are looking to resurrect their Annual Veterans’ Sixes competition on Sunday 26 August 2012. This popular event was run annually in the early 1990s when the shinty players of yesterday were given a stage on which to show some of their old magic. The event is being tied in with the bank holiday weekend to allow participants to make a weekend of it and everyone who takes part will have free entry to Newtonmore’s Orion Group Premiership match against Kingussie at the Eilan on Saturday 24 August 2012 and free admission to the Veterans’ Sixes Dance which is taking place in the village hall following the Kingussie clash. The Balavil Hotel is offering rooms at a reduced rate for the whole weekend for anyone taking part in the event. Clubs can enter as many teams as they wish and entries will also be accepted from teams who may want to enter without coming under the umbrella of a particular club. The tournament day will have a BBQ, beer tent and shinty skills type competitions, as well as a surprise exhibition match in the middle of the day. Any teams wishing to take part should contact Paul MacArthur on 07851808643 or 01540673234 or e-mail Paul at pmacarthur@hotmail.com |
