2023 Skye P7 (& Under) First Shinty Festival | |
04 February 2023 The P7 (& Under) First Shinty Indoor Festival was contested at the Portree High School Fingal Centre on Saturday 4 February 2023. Six teams took part in this event, organised by Portree Active Schools, with Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort-Righ A & B, South Skye A & B as well as Portree Primary and North Skye all playing each other in a round-robin format. Following a wonderful afternoon’s shinty, Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort-Righ A finished top of the pile, ahead of the South Skye Greens, North Skye and Portree Primary. In the first semi-final Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort-Righ A beat Portree whilst North Skye edged out the South Skye Greens to reach the final. The 8-minutes final between North End and Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort-Righ A was level at a goal apiece until North End’s Hannah MacKintosh scored in the final minute to give North End victory. The event doubled up as an area qualifier so North Skye now go forward to the Ferguson Transport & Shipping National P 7 (& Under) Indoor Festival in Fort William on Friday 24 February 2023. Shinty Ambassador Archie Millar and Young Leaders Sadie MacDonald and Kirsty Murray carried out the refereeing and score keeping. North End captain Lachlann MacLeod was the player of the tournament, chosen by referee Archie Millar. |
