Shinty is being re-introduced to the New England USA area now. I attended a presentaion which explained how to play and the history of the sport. I think it is a cool sport and hope it takes off again to stay. I hear that it is played in the western part of the states here. But they use a football field as it is hard to find a field (pit) that the regulations call for. I was amazed at the ancient history of it all. I will be in Scotland next September and hope to see a game.

@MrFocaleile Both games have really goon points. I think they should just make a permenant hybrid of the two games so it's easier to promote, but I know many people want to preserve the two games, despite the fact they're just versions if the same game a couple of hundred years ago.

@MrFocaleile I play shinty and it's fun but difficult I like to play hurling aswel
-
hurling is better,more intensity more shoulder clashing,jostling and more skill etc i would love to try out shinty though
-
@ColossalCollapse Yeah I suppose. They are both just insane. Wish they were played in more places though so that we could actually see countries playing it (other than Scotland/Ireland).
-
@SMCPedro I wouldnt say shinty is more skillfull. They are both unbelievable sports. type in 'All Ireland Hurling Semi Final 2005 Galway v Kilkenny Part 1' you'll see skill there! Some say it is the greatest game of all time.
Yes the Irish camán is wider but to be honest I am by no means an inter county hurler but I can hit pebbles with a narow platic pipe; which means its the hand to eye cordination that matters. Its only in the last 30 years that the bas's have widened so much.

In hurling you have a way wider stick! Its well harder to play with a caman.
Shinty is more skillful

HURLING IS SUPERIOR TO SHINTY

Its a pretty mental sport, only really played in the Highlands and west coast of Scotland. We love it though. When there are not exactly many other sports facilities in and around the region (I can't think of any mainstream football or rugby teams) its sometimes more popular.
It gives you more freedom than hockey and is only slower than Hurling because we have sticks... not shovels!
