Learn Manx | Maidjey Cammag @learnmanx | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
A film in the Manx language about the cammag stick.
Cammag is 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 how a traditional cammag stick can be made.
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.
