I would like to wish all involved the very best.” Camanachd Association CEO, Derek Keir added: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Highland Industrial Supplies. The commitment they have shown to supporting shinty helps the Camanachd Association and our member clubs to reach people in some of the most isolated communities in Scotland. The Camanachd Association endeavours to work with local businesses who operate and provide jobs for shinty communities and in signing off this partnership we are able to deliver on this objective. We are all very excited for what is to come and we are eagerly anticipating the start of one of our furthest reaching national competitions - the Highland Industrial Supplies Sutherland Cup” The 2020 HIS Sutherland Cup Final is scheduled to take place at Blairbeg on Saturday 29 August 2020.
