The fan page for Yorkshires only Shinty team. We are seeking members, so have a look and give it a go!! Shinty is a fast, flowing and full contact team game played with sticks and a ball. While comparisons are often made with field hockey, the two games have several important differences. In shinty, a player is allowed to play the ball in the air and is allowed to use both sides of the stick, called a caman which is wooden and slanted on both sides. The stick may also be used to block and to tackle, although a player may not come down on an opponent's stick, a practice called hacking. Players may also tackle using the body as long as it is shoulder-to-shoulder.
