The Tír Conaill Harps are a shinty team from Glasgow, Scotland. The team formed as a Camogie team in 1995 but due to lack of competition the club decided to set up a shinty team. There are now two shinty teams, with the A team competing in the National Division 1 and the B team compete in the South Division 2.
[edit] History
The Tír Conaill Harps club was formed in 1994 following an amicable break away from the Pearse Harps club by the underage football section, who left to form the club, at a meeting in the Govanhill Neighbourhood Centre, in Glasgow's south side. The name Tír Conaill reflected the large Donegal community in the area and the number of members and players with family links to the county.
The club fields teams in underage Gaelic football, senior Gaelic football, Ladies' Gaelic football, Camogie and Ladies Shinty. The club hopes to start an U-12s Camogie team in the near future.
