FIELD HOCKEY IN ONE LINE
Field hockey is a team sport played on synthetic turf or grass where players use curved wooden or composite sticks to propel a hard ball. Goals can only be scored from within a semi-circular striking circle, making circular penetration central to tactics.
SHINTY IN ONE LINE
Shinty is a traditional Scottish stick-and-ball sport played on a large grass field. Two twelve-player teams use curved sticks called camans to propel a small leather ball into the opposing goal.
