KINCRAIG Shinty Club has withdrawn from competition for the first time in its history due to a lack of players for 2010.
The Strathspey outfit has long had to compete with its neighbours and the game's biggest clubs, Kingussie and Newtonmore, for players.
Now it has finally succumbed, with no Camanachd Association fixtures on the card for this season – the first time it has happened in 37 years.
Kincraig were forced to abandon their league programme last year, despite having promising youngsters at under-12 and under-14 level but officials are adamant this is not the end for Kincraig.
President Dennis Meldrum said: “I am confident the game still has a future in the village. Hopefully we can get the club going again next season.”
