The Camanachd Association Challenge Cup a.k.a. the Camanachd Cup or Scottish Cup (known for sponsorship reasons as the SSE Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup) is the premier prize in the sport of shinty. It is one of the five trophies considered to be part of the Grand Slam in the sport of shinty. The present holders are Lovat Shinty Club who won the cup 2-1 against Kyles Athletic in September 2015. This is Lovats 2nd title since they won it in 1953. == The tournament == The tournament was first played in 1896 with Kingussie beating Glasgow Cowal 2-0 at Needlefield Park, Inverness. At present the tournament is contested by the eligible teams in North and South Division 1 (and from 2014, National Division One), together with the teams in the Orion Premiership, who join the competition at the second round stage. There was formerly a Qualifying Cup. Traditionally, the trophy was competed for on a North/South basis with the best team from the North facing the best team from the South only in the final. In 1983 the open draw was introduced which resulted in the first, and until 2012, only all-South final, between Kyles and Strachur. 1984 saw the first ever All-North final and first ever final clash between heated rivals Kingussie and Newtonmore. Four teams have won the trophy three times in a row, Newtonmore, Kingussie, Kyles Athletic and Fort William. In 2006, the Cup had its first ever televised draw on BBC Scotland sports programme Spòrs, with the final also being broadcast live. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camanachd Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
