I will give this a bash! I've been in the Creggans Inn before (quality fish and chips as I recall!) and I remember seeing the shinty pitch somewhere close by - but this was a good few years back now. Do you know where the new pitch is located?



The new pitch is at Strachurmore at the top of the village on the road towards Loch Eck and Dunoon. If you walk up past the Clachan and the garage there is a wee road down to the left and the park is there, it can be seen from the Dunoon road. Great setting for a pitch and it is a big improvement on the old one, ie it's actually flat! I was really impressed when I saw it recently. There is also the Clachan Bar in Strachur as well as the Creggans so potential for a pub crawl :P .

Inverarary put Kyles out at the weekend so now face Bute in the semi, that should be a tight game. The other semi is going to be Taynuilt against Aberdour and neither team has ever reached the final. Pretty cool for whoever gets through with Taynuilt being a recently re-formed club and Aberdour being just a few years old. The winner of that semi will probably get quite a gubbing, but it will be a big day for them anyway.

Aye - we've done that pub crawl once before, that was some night!
Cheers for the directions, I've stuck this in my diary, looking forward to the drive up!

I play for Glengarry in North Division 2 which is mostly 2nd teams so the standard is not superb.However we have a few decent young players coming through so hopefully we will be in the first division in the next few seasons.
