SHINTY EXHIBITION PLANNED

Post date: Nov 03, 2014 10:33:54 PM

A member of the Edenderry Hurling Panel has been planning a very special event for Edenderry GAA for many months. On the day of the Annual Night of the Reds (22 Nov) all of his hard work is set to pay off. For the first time in the History of the Club (as far as we know) a Shinty V Hurling match will take place at our grounds on the Carrick Road.

A Scottish Universities Selection (Male & Female) will travel to Edenderry to take on an Offaly Camogie Selection and an Edenderry Hurling Selection. This Hybrid game will pitt two stick carrying teams from our two Islands against each other in what promises to be a very special event.

The Scottish teams will be staying locally and will attend the Annual Night of the Reds. So if you see a few kilts around the Town that weekend you’ll know what its all about.

John McDonnell has been working nearly single handily to promote this event and he has Midlands Radio 3 on board and Irish TV. Radio 3 will stream the games live and Irish TV hope to run a piece on the event very soon.
