Hurling-Shinty Internationals Ireland v Scotland 1972-1979 [Reference: 1]

Report

The Hurling-Shinty International Series, first played in 1897, was revived in 1972 for the first time since the Tailteann Games of 1932. The Compromise Rules of the Tailteann Games were used with the first three games goals (3 Points) and Overs (1 Point), Ireland winning all three, having the advantage that there are no overs in Shinty and the Scottish game is largely played on the ground. The 1975 contest was cancelled and the series came back in 1976 as a goals-only contest with Ireland winning three of the matches, and one ending in a draw after extra-time. The series was discontinued from 1980-1987.

About Hurling-Shinty International Rules

Hurling-Shinty International Rules, also known as Compromise Rules, is a game featuring as its name suggests a compromise between the two codes of Gaelic Hurling: Irish Hurling (15-a-side and Points over the bar as well as goals) and Scottish Shinty (12-a-side, Goals only). currently the sport is 14-a-side with both goals and points over tha bar counting, although in the past 13-a-side has been used, as well numerous scoring systems, such as Goals-and-points, Goals-only, Goals-and-Points-with-a-double-score-for-a-Scottish-Shinty-Point (Shinty is played on the ground, giving Hurling, which is played through the air an advantage in points); and Goals-Points-And-Behinds (worth 6 points, 3 Points and 1 Point respectively as opposed to 3 points for a goal an one for a point usually).There is also a Camogie-Shinty version of the game for Women.

Poc Fada Golf

About

Poc Fada is the Irish version of Golf, whereby a player uses a hurl or hurley to hit a sliotar of ball up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or goes as possible. It is mentioned in the legend of Setanta, whereby the hero uses his hurl or hurley to hit the ball over the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth on his way to a feast of the King of Ulster in Armagh.

Poc Fada Golf is the brainchild of Julian Gaisford-St. Lawrence, whose family built Howth Castle, and uses the same principle but on a golf course, with bigger holes. It is aimed more at families as a day out, and it doesn’t take as long as Golf to complete a round. Each hole has a par as in Golf.

It is in the tradition of other GAA Compromise or International rules sports, such as International Rules Football (Gaelic Football & Australian Football), Hurling-Shinty (Ireland v Scotland), Handball-Pelota (Ireland v Basque Country), Rounders-Baseball (Irish teams v American teams) and Hurlacrosse (Hurling teams v Lacrosse teams).

The course was opened in 2015 at Deer Park Golf, in Co. Fingal (North County Dublin), and is run under the stewardship of Humphrey Kelleher, the chairman of the National Poc Fada Committee.

About Rounders-Softball International Rules

While nobody has yet come up with a viable Compromise between Rounders and Baseball or Softball to permit a genuine Compromise Rules match to take place, Internationals have taken place between Rounders teams and Softball teams whereby a match is played under the rules of one code and then a second match is played under the rules of the other code.

About

The match was organised by Eamonn de Valera, and featured the Irish Soft-ball Champion, P. Perry, the Irish Junior soft-ball champion, as well as Gardai Sgt. J. McGrath (Depot) & R. McGinn (Clontarf), and was part of the Tailteann Games of 1932 which brought together the Irish & Celts from all over the World for our version of the Olympic Games.

Sets alternated between using the Irish ball and the Basque ball. The Series finished 2 matches each, with Ireland winning both Singles matches, and the Basques winning both Hardball Doubles matches. The Basques paid compliment to Ireland’s Handballers, saying they could beat the World, and the Irish Press complimented the fine display put on by the Basques.

Report

The first Compromise Rules were drawn up for Hurling-Shinty at the Tailteann Games in 1924, celebrating the revival of Celtic culture. The Ancient Tailteann games were the Celtic version of the Greek Olympic Games, and were played in 1924, 1928, and 1932, with teams and contestants called from all over the world where the Gaelic Diaspora lived.

Scotland won the first of these encounters 2-1, with Ireland winning the third 6-1. The result of the 1928 contest is currently unknown.
