Shinty-A game resembling hockey.
"The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke"
C. J. Dennis

"Six Months at the Cape"
R.M. Ballantyne
Thoughts of the manifold additions and improvements which Val was dying to make in the church; of the Shinty club we were so anxious to start, but could not for want of means; of the hall we planned to build some day for concerts and social gatherings in the long winter evenings-all started into new life at the prospect of a wealthy Catholic returning to his native land with gold in his pocket and a ready hand to scatter it liberally for the benefit of his kinsfolk!
