Newtonmore Camanachd Club is a shinty club from Newtonmore, Badenoch, Scotland and current holders of the Premier Division. It is historically one of the game's most successful sides, having won the Camanachd Cup a record 30 times and are present holders. They have won the Marine Harvest Premier Division five years a row since 2010 (). There is also a reserve team who play in North Division One. ==History== Shinty has been played in the Newtonmore area for centuries, but more recently, there are records of shinty being played at the Eilan since 1877, and the club was formally re-constituted under the auspices of the newly formed Camanachd Association in 1895. One of their greatest early players was Dr. John Cattanach, the sole shinty player in the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.() Since then, the club have won the Camanachd Cup 30 times - a record unmatched by any other team in the game. The club's last victory was in 1986 and in the intervening time Kingussie have held the whip hand. In Newtonmore's last final appearance before 2011, they lost a record 12-1 to their rivals. Two of the greatest names in shinty history, goalkeeper Hugh Chisholm and David "Tarzan" Ritchie jointly hold the Newtonmore club record of twelve Camanachd Cup winners medals each. The club has also won the MacTavish Cup a record thirty seven times, together with a string of other honours. The club won the MacTavish Cup in 2009 5-4 against Kingussie at the Bught Park, Inverness on 13 June 2009.() The game was broadcast live on BBC Alba. Players such as Paul MacArthur, Danny MacRae and Michael Ritchie are the sons and nephews of famous Newtonmore players and the club has a long dynastic tradition. Many clubs throughout Scotland have long and friendly rivalries with Newtonmore - notably, Kyles Athletic who they met frequently in Camanachd Cup Finals in the 1970s. However the keenest rivalry, and certainly least friendly is with near neighbours, Kingussie. In recent times, Kingussie have enjoyed unparalleled success, whilst Newtonmore have been forced to rebuild as they have not won the league since 1985 () and have been unfortunate to lose several promising players to work or study commitments further afield. () The Club field and pavilion at Eilean Bheannchair AKA The Eilan (built in 1993) are both owned by the Club. 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「Newtonmore Camanachd Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
