The 2010 Scotland senior national squad kit has been launched in Edinburgh at the headquarters of sponsor Caledonian Brewery by players Niall MacPhee and John Barr ahead of this weekend’s internationals.
The Camanachd Association also announced that Caledonian Brewery (Deuchars IPA), who sponsored the 2009 Shinty / Hurling Internationals, will continue their sponsorship into the senior two match series in 2010.
Camanachd Association President Duncan Cameron said, ‘We are delighted that the Caledonian Brewery is continuing their sponsorship of the Shinty / Hurling Internationals which are the pinnacle of representative shinty and is enjoyed by players and spectators alike, so to have the support of such a prestigious Scottish company is very much appreciated.’
The Camogie match between Ireland and Scotland is first up on Saturday 30 October 2010 and this takes place at Ratoath with an 11.30am start.
The Ireland U21 and Scotland U21 sides then clash at the same venue at 1pm.
The main event is the senior international between Ireland and Scotland at Croke Park which commences at 4.45pm. This preludes the Irish Daily Mail International rules series meeting between Ireland and Australia which is expected to attract a capacity crowd.
The Scottish and Irish senior hurlers travel to the Bught Park, Inverness to take on Scotland’s Senior squad for the return match.
