The date for the Shinty / Hurling international has been confirmed by the GAA as 18 October 2008 at Durrow, Co.Laoise, Ireland.
For 2008 the International shinty/hurling contest will be based on one men's shinty team which will be selected from the best shinty players across Scotland.
There is bound to be disappointment that the popular U21 International has been removed from the programme.
Details of the shinty/camogie and other arrangements will be confirmed in the next few weeks.
