Everything about Ardnamurchan Camanachd totally explained

Ardnamurchan Camanachd is a shinty club based in Strontian, Ardnamurchan. The club covers a wide area taking in Ardgour, Morvern, Acharacle and Moidart all in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. It was established in 2005. It competes in Marine Harvest North Division 3.

History

Historically, shinty has always been played in Morvern and the Ardnamurchan area but this was the traditional New Year's game and there's no history of clubs in the area. Latterly Morvern played an annual game against Kilmallie.
   Ardnamurchan High School was built with shinty in mind, having a fantastic shinty pitch to rival any in Scotland. A team was started in October 2005. The Ardnamurchan junior team was affiliated to Kilmallie. Soon old shinty hands in the area started their own training and it was decided to form a senior team and enter North Division 3 for the 2006 season. With limited experience and low numbers the team struggled manfully throughout the season.
   Success came early for the U14s when the high school team made it through to the final of the MacPherson Cup. This team then went on to win the North of Scotland League Shield, beating Inverness in the final. A fantastic achievement for a club new to shinty.
   In 2007 Ardnamurchan will be amalgamating their small primary schools to form one team at this level. The senior team will be strengthened by more experienced players joining their ranks and new home grown talent emerging.
   The club will host the 2007 Mod Cup on 13th September 2007 at their ground.
   The club's colours were taken from the coats of arms of two of the main ruling clans of the area. The MacIains who were a branch of Clan Donald and the Camerons. The colours are red, gold and black.
