The English Shinty Association (ESA) is the main body for promoting and encouraging the sport of shinty in England. The body's headquarters are based in Penryn, Cornwall. == History of shinty in England == Shinty was previously played widely in England in the 19th century and early 20th century, with teams such as London Scots, Bolton Caledonian, Cottonopolis and evidence to suggest it was played in some form in Cumberland, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Nottingham, Cornwall and Lincoln. Nottingham Forest F.C. was established by Shinty Players. There is evidence to support that Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge were used for shinty matches in the 19th century. (). Shinty died out in England until only London Camanachd remained and they themselves struggled throughout the late 20th century into the new millennium. There was a Northallerton Camanachd in the late 60s to early 80s, and interest was maintained by the links to the nearby military base, but they only competed periodically. The revival of the London Club has sparked interest in Cornwall, and Cornwall were finally able to offer London some 'local' opposition in March 2012. London's success grew and the English Capital's side hosted a successful tournament in September 2011 featuring the hosts, Cornwall and the SCOTS Camanachd. () The influence of the SCOTS and the tradition of English shinty being run by Scottish university graduates saw the resurrection of shinty in Northallerton under the name Northallerton Shinty Club. Atkins UK donated Helmets to the association to help provide protection, especially to the youth players, at club and international level. 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「English Shinty Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
