Shinty/hurling squad announced

The Camanachd Association have announced the squad for the senior men’s shinty/ hurling international.

The event, which is set to take on November 2 at Abbotstown, Dublin, will see the sport’s greatest players come together to form one of the most formidable sides in international history.

Scotland international manager Garry Reid said: ‘Once again, the depth of talent in the game and the commitment demonstrated from senior players to be part of the squad continues to impress the coaching team, yet challenges us to refine it down to the travelling squad of 20, with the original 32-player squad all showing that, given the opportunity, they would quite easily fit the bill as international standard players.

‘We have, however, selected a squad that have all had previous experience at under 21 or senior level and who, on top of looking sharp and committed at international sessions, have demonstrated through the season attributes that have made them stand out at club level.’

The squad is as follows: Goalkeeper:

Stuart MacDonald (Lovat) Defenders:

Rory Kennedy (Newtonmore)

Steven MacDonald (Newtonmore)

Robert Mabon (Kingussie) Andy MacKintosh (Newtonmore) Andrew King (Kyles Athletic) Daniel Grieve (Lovat) Blair Morrison (Caberfeidh) Finlay MacRae (Kinlochshiel)

Midfield:

Donald Nixon (Kinlochshiel) Craig Mainland (Lovat) Fraser Heath (Lovat) Michael Russell (Newtonmore)

Forwards:

Kevin Bartlett (Caberfeidh) Greig Matheson (Lovat) Roddy McDonald (Kyles) Craig Morrison (Caberfeidh) Andrew MacCuish (Oban Camanachd)

Daniel Cameron (Oban Camanachd)

Savio Genini (Kingussie)
