Marine Harvest has confirmed that they will continue to sponsor Cuillin FM’s shinty coverage during the 2016 shinty season.

The news is a real boost to the local radio station which broadcasts live shinty action on their “Camanachd Live” show on the radio and online each Saturday of the shinty season.

Marine Harvest Business Manager Steve Bracken said, “I think what's been achieved with the live shinty coverage on Skye has been extremely impressive and we're proud to be associated with Cuillin FM’s shinty coverage.”

Cuillin FM’s Drew Millar added, “Our award winning team has been broadcasting live shinty since 2011 and the feedback has been excellent. Our online coverage attracts an audience from all over the world and we all really appreciate the continued support from Marine Harvest.”

With both west coast sides, Skye Camanachd and Kinlochshiel, playing Marine Harvest Premiership next season, Marine Harvest’s assistance ensures there will be plenty of shinty action to cover in the months ahead.
