Shinty versus hurling event held

An annual game held between players of Scottish shinty and Irish hurling is to take place in Inverness as part of the Homecoming Scotland celebrations.

A women's and under 21 fixtures will also feature before the international clash at Bught Park on Saturday.

Organisers hope the event will be one of the major markers of the year-long celebration of all things Scottish.

Played by Scottish emigrants on ice in Canada, shinty is believed to have had a role in the launch of ice hockey.

Hugh Dan MacLennan, who will be among the commentary team during the BBC's coverage of the international, said shinty could only envy the crowds drawn to hurling.
