Glengarry Shinty Club

A club called Glengarry played against Fort Augustus in 1882 and was active in the 1930s. However in 1948 the club amalgamated with Fort Augustus and became Inveroich. The club was reconstituted as Glengarry in 1976 and has continued to this day. The club won the Balliemore Cup in 1985, 1988 and 1989 and also reached the final of the Valerie Fraser Cup in 1990 and 1991.Glengarry Shinty Club is a shinty team from Invergarry, Inverness-shire, Scotland. There is one senior team, competing in North Division Two. The club also runs a highly successful women's team. Nowadays, the club has one of the smallest playing squads in the game, however, the players are loyal and proud to play & represent the communities of Invergarry & Fort Augustus. Most of the present day squad is made up of the successful Under 14 juvenile team which won the National Development Trophy in 2005. The mens team is improving every year and last year finished 2nd in their league and have started the season 2011 as strong as they finished winning their first game, the boys are looking to gain on their success last year and hopefully they can finish on top this year and gain promotion to north division one.

In 1997, Glengarry Women’s Shinty team was established. The Garry Girls became one of only 3 women’s teams in existence, with Dunadd from Lochgilphead & the Oban Camanchereos, what begun as a bit of fun for the Garry Girls has seen them, not only become the driving force in the women’s game but the most successful women’s shinty team ever. The Women's team is currently as strong as it was in 1997 still having 2 players who were part of the team in 1997. However neither the mens or women's team would have continued to survive without the manager Ewen Cameron who has been an influencial part of both teams bringing the best out of every player. Along with Ewen who coaches Catherine Cameron is also a major part of the team in that every game without fail she will be there to assist in writing team lines, cleaning the changing rooms, preparing the food for both teams playing and just generally looking after all players and coaches.
