North Area District U14 & U17 Representative Matches
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012 at 9:59AM
The Camanachd Association is holding Under 14 and Under 17 age group district representative matches for the North area at Spean Bridge over the first two Sundays in September.
As well as being inter–district competitions, the events will also provide an opportunity for players to stake a claim for places in the North representative teams who will take on the South on 30th September at An Aird, Fort William.
The four Districts and managers are Badenoch – U14 Michael Ritchie, U17 Glenn Tonkin, Lochaber – U14 Victor Smith, U17 Ali Ferguson, Inverness – U14 James Gallagher, U17 Davie Stewart and Skye & Wester Ross – U14 John Macleod, U17 Murdo Fraser.
Sunday September 2nd sees the U14’s play 50 minute semi- finals and 3rd/4th place play off before the final.
Sunday September 9th is the turn of the U17’s in the same format but with hour long games. The games begin at 12.00pm both weeks.
The event is kindly sponsored by Ferguson Transport.
The coaches of the two Districts that contest the finals will be offered the opportunity to work together to select and coach The North Area team against The South Area at Fort William on Sunday 7th October 2012.
It is hoped that this event can be held annually and as well as making the North area selection process as open and transparent as possible it will provide players and coaches with a pathway from club shinty to District and on to Area shinty before progressing on to International participation.
Full details have been sent to all clubs in the North area. Please contact Highland Shinty Development Officer Russell Jones for any further information on 07834 522260 or email russell.jones@shinty.com.
