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.
