The date has been confirmed for the Robertson Cup Shinty Sixes as Thursday 23rd May with an 11am start.

The competition, which is now in its 26th year, is open to all high schools and is for players aged S1 – S3.

Last year’s winners Kingussie High School will be looking to defend their title against a host of teams from across the Highlands.

Event organiser Allan MacLeod said “We are indebted for the financial support for this competition from Masonic Lodge, Old Inverness Kilwinning St. John’s VI and we look forward to another great day.”

Speaking on behalf of the Lodge, Master Ian Davidson said “As a Lodge we are delighted to contribute to this event. The community sport of shinty has a lot of the values which we promote in Freemasonry and to support a youth event is even more important.”

Entry for the competition will close at 12 noon on Monday 20th May. For further information please contact Allan MacLeod on allanmacleod8003@gmail.com or 07308124773. Alternatively please contact Louise Power at Glen Urquhart High School on louise.power@highland.gov.uk.
