The Camanachd Association is putting in place plans for a new competitions structure which could be introduced for the 2014 shinty season.
A working group will shortly be set up to focus on competitions and come forward with new proposals.
There was a suggestion at the end of season Review Meeting at the Alexandra Hotel, Fort William on Sunday 4 December 2011 that two sides could be relegated / promoted between Marine Harvest North Division 2 and Marine Harvest North Division 3 and this is one of a number of ideas which will be considered.
The 2011 shinty season promotion and relegation has left the Scottish Hydro Premier Division with seven North Clubs and only three from the South. This in turn has meant Marine Harvest North Division 1 will be contested between only seven sides whilst Marine Harvest South Division 1 is likely to include eleven teams.
