Skye Camanachd are amongst ten shinty clubs who have made successful applications to the Mowi Youth Development Fund.
The fund, administered by the Camanachd Association, is aimed at fostering the growth of shinty at grassroots level, and the ten clubs who will each received £500 are: Aberdour, Ballachulish, Beauly, Kilmallie, Kilmory-Dunadd, Kincraig, Kyles Athletic, Skye Camanachd, Strathspey Camanachd and Stirling. Each club has showcased dedication and creativity in nurturing the next generation of shinty players.
Skye Camanachd (pictured) continue to implement initiatives at youth age groups, ensuring a pathway for players who come through the successful Isle of Skye Primary Schools Camanachd Association set-up though the under-14 and under-17 age groups to second team and senior shinty.
Mowi Community Engagement Officer Jayne MacKay shared her thoughts on the initiative, stating: "We are immensely proud to contribute to the development of shinty's future stars. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact this initiative will have on the future of shinty, especially in remote communities where both shinty and Mowi contribute to community wellbeing."
The Camanachd Association extended its warmest congratulations to all the successful clubs and remains committed to empowering youth development initiatives across Scotland. Through collaborations with these dedicated clubs, and the support of partners like Mowi, the Association endeavours to ensure that shinty continues to thrive and inspire generations to come.
