The Camanachd Association has announced that the forthcoming Shinty / Hurling International will be shown live on BBC 2 Scotland on Saturday 18 October 2008.
The programme commences at 2.50pm and will show full coverage of the senior men’s International which starts at 3pm. There will also be highlights from the ladies Shinty / Camogie match. Both matches will be played at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.
This television coverage will be welcomed by shinty fans and comes at a time when the Camanachd Association is working closely with BBC Scotland to ensure shinty coverage on television and radio continues to develop.
The Shinty / Hurling U21s match will take place at O'Moore Park, Durrow on the same day but there are no plans to show this match on television.
