Strathglass Hope For National Shinty & To Restore Second Team | |
29 November 2016 Strathglass have announced plans which they hope will build on their successful 2016 shinty in which they finished second in Marine Harvest North Division 1. Had they finished in top spot, the Cannich club would have been eligible for a play-off against South winners Oban Celtic to see who would replace Ballachulish in shinty’s second tier. However they have made a special application to the Camanachd Association join Kenny Wotherspoon’s side in the Marine Harvest National Division next season. It was confirmed at the Camanachd Association AGM that the Strathglass proposal will be considered at a meeting on Monday 5 December 2016. If, as seems likely, they are successful, the Marine Harvest National Division will become a nine-team league next season – six of whom will be based in the North. Strathglass also hope to reintroduce their second team in Marine Harvest North Division 2 following increased activity at youth level over the last couple of years. |
