My Cammag Sticks
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 10/01/2020

Cammag is the the traditional National Sport of the Isle of Man.
Closely related to hurling or shinty in neighbouring Celtic nations, cammag players take great pride in their homemade cammag sticks. David Fisher, one of the original revivalists of the game in St. John's, shows us some of the cammag sticks which he has made, giving an insight into the culture of this distinctively Manx sport.

Cammag can be enjoyed on St. Stephen's Day (26th December), when the North and South compete on the Fairfield beside Tynwald Hill in St. John's.
More about this and other Manx traditions for Christmas can be found here: https://www.culturevannin.im/manx_year.html
