Report

Ireland and Scotland have shared honours almost equally between 2000 and 2009, with Ireland going on a winning streak from 2000-2003, before Scotland won from 2005-2008. In 2010 the series became a home-and-away series with the aggregate score over two legs deciding the winners.

About

The first Hurling-Shinty International Rules match was played back in 1897 in Glasgow between Cowal (Scotland) and Celtic (Dublin). [1] There have been regular Internationals between Ireland and Scotland since 2000.

Shinty is very similar to Hurling and the two games would have the same Gaelic Celtic origin with Shinty most popular in Gaelic Scots part of Scotland, particularly the Highlands. The game, however, does not include over-the-bar points, only goals and there is less play in the air than in Hurling.

The International Rules series includes points-over-the-bar and in the early 2000s included ‘behinds’ like in International Rules Football between Ireland and Australia.

The scoring system is three points for a goal and one for a point (over-the-bar). In 2012 an experimental scoring system was used whereby a goal was worth 5 points. From 2000-2003 a scoring system was employed whereby a goal was worth 6 points, an ‘over’ 3 points, and a ‘behind’ (a score into posts either side of the two main posts) 1 point.

13-a-side or 14-a-side have both been employed, halfway between Hurling’s 15-a-side and Shinty’s 12-a-side. Bot teams play with their own sticks, so it is a game played with two different sets of equipment.

Report

The Hurling-Shinty International Series between Ireland and Scotland, which had been discontinued in 1980, was revived in 1988. The first five encounters were fairly evenly matched, and Ireland split the series 2-2 with Scotland, with one drawn match. From then on Scotland took over, winning 6 of the next seven encounters, with one tie, despite the scoring system changing from goals only to goals (3 Points) and overs (1 point) in 1996, which should have given Ireland an advantage as the Scottish game is played mostly on the gounnd with no overs. It was said in one report in the Irish Independent in 1999, that the Irish failed to care enough. With a new millennium dawning a new approach was necessary from Ireland, it was said.

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.

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 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.

Handball-Pelota International Ireland v Basque Country 1932 [Reference: 1]

Final Score: The series finished Ireland 2 Basque Country 2.

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.
