The Kilmory and Dunadd junior players just want to play shinty.
The message from a crunch meeting on the future of Mid Argyll shinty was a stark one. The very existence of the sport in the region is under threat unless shinty players, parents, fans and volunteers – and the game’s ruling body – rally round to give it new life.
Kilmory senior team had trouble fielding a side towards the end of the 2018 season and intends to compete in South Division Two next season, a league below where they currently play. The purpose behind this is to consolidate by bringing younger players into the adult game at a less competitive level.
