Naver Athletic is a shinty club based in Bettyhill, Sutherland, Scotland. They were established in 2008. They are a select team drawing players from both Sutherland and Caithness. They will be competing in the Strathdearn and Sutherland Cups in 2008.
[edit] History
The club was founded after three years of youth development in the region and the success of the Far North League in 2007, contested between Kinlochbervie (Black Strips), Farr/Bettyhill (Maroon) and Thurso (Dark Blue).
Shinty was traditionally strong in the area up until the 20th Century, and the Farr side have been instrumental in resurrecting the New Year Shinty tradition in North Sutherland.
The club's first senior fixture was against Lochside Rovers in the Sutherland Cup.[1] Lochside won this game 18-0. The club were nfortuante to then suffer the same scoreline in their Strathdearn Cup match, losing 18-0 to Boleskine.
A shinty-like game known as Knotty has also recently been resurrected in Lybster, where the World Championships are held each year.
