Scotland grabbed a stunning 24-23 victory over Ireland’s hurlers in a cliffhanging shinty-hurling international in Cork, to bring a series of three Irish successes to an end.<\/p>\n
The winning point was finally scored by Kingussie’s Zander Michie in a game where the Scots were 8-2 up at one stage but were pegged back to 14-14. A frantic encounter then progressed through 16-16, 19-19 and 23-23 until Michie’s winner sent the Scottish contingent into raptures.<\/p>\n
Scotland’s three-point goals came from Calum McLay, Lewis Cameron, Iain Robinson and Innes Blackhall.<\/p>\n
Michie’s winner was his his sixth point of the night and made him Scotland’s top scorer. Declan Brannan (2), Ruaridh Anderson, McLay, Robinson and Daniel MacVivar grabbed the other singles.<\/p>\n
Earlier at the same venue, Scotland’s women were overwhelmed 38-6 by Ireland’s Camogie players. Scotland’s top scorer was Megan Ralph, who grabbed a three-point goal as well as a single, while Lorna MacRae and Iona McCulloch both got singles.<\/p>\n
Domestically, three men’s shinty titles were decided. Newtonmore’s reserves won North Division 1 with a 7-1 eclipse of Fort William, including a double from veteran Glen MacKintosh. Oban Camanachd’s second string Lochside Rovers claimed the South Division 1 crown in similar fashion when Matt Rippon scored two in a 7-1 rout of Glasgow Mid Argyll.<\/p>\n
Since both area league champions are reserve teams, there will be no promotion to the National Division, should that survive an imminent examination of league structure.<\/p>\n
Lochaber won North Division 2 following a walkover against Lochcarron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scotland grabbed a stunning 24-23 victory over Ireland’s hurlers in a cliffhanging shinty-hurling international in Cork, to bring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":664582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-664581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
