Leagues and Cups

Within the mens game there are many cups competed for all of which different teams play for depending on the current league in which they are in. Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup, Artemis Macaulay Cup, Balliemore Cup, Bullough Cup, Glasgow Celtic Society, MacTavish Cup and the Strathdearn Cup are all highly contested for between the mens teams. However the main cup in which teams want to win is the Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup. The Camanachd Cup has been running since 1896 and is still continuing to be the most highly contested cup. The current holders of the Cup are Fort William who have won the Cup for the last four years. In the Women's game there are fewer cups to play for however every game is competed for at a level just as high as the mens. As with the mens game the women's also compete for the Camanachd Cup but this one is called the Valarie Fraser Camanachd Cup and is sponsorded by Peter Gow. However along with this is a Caledonian Challenge cup which gives teams in the lower divisions a cup in which to compete for, however if a team enters into the Valarie Fraser Cup then they are not allowed to enter the Caledonian challenge Cup and it is the same for teams who have entered the Caledonian Challenge Cup they cannot enter the Valarie Fraser Cup. Along with these cups each league plays for the cup for winning their league. The current leagues are:North Division one, North Division two, South Division two. There is not a South Division one as their are few teams so they compete in the North Division one League.
