Composite rules shinty-hurling or simply shinty-hurling, is a hybrid sport which was developed to facilitate international matches between shinty players and hurling players. The women's form of the game is called shinty/camogie.
Popularity
Shinty-Hurling is currently played by both men's and women's teams, but only in tournaments or one off internationals.
Shinty-Hurling has no specilist clubs or leagues of its own at the present time.
Description
The rules of this composite sport are designed to allow for neither side to gain an advantageover the other.
The goals are those used in hurling, with 3 points for a goal and 1 point for a shot over the bar. A stationary ball taken straight from the ground scores 2 points.
Players may not catch the ball unless they are the goalkeeper (or a defender on the line for a penalty) and this must be released within three steps. Players may not kick the ball, but can drag the ball with their foot.
Dedication
Although there is a statutory size for the ball to be used in the games, there is often a custom of using a sliotar in one half and a shinty ball in the other.
Each half lasts 35 minutes.
