Michael Ritchie (shinty)

Michael Ritchie (born 1972) is a shinty player for Newtonmore Camanachd Club. He is a goalkeeper and is the son of the legendary David "Tarzan" Ritchie.

Playing career

Although his father was a renowned outfield player, Ritchie Jr has made a career as a goalkeeper although he was an outfield player when he made his debut aged 21 for Newtonmore. He has played outfield for phases of his career.

He suffered an unfortunate lapse in the 2008 Macaulay Cup final against Inveraray when a blunder from a routine shy caused him to let in the winning goal.

Ironically given the rivalry between Kingussie and Newtonmore, Ritchie lives with his family in Kingussie next door to Kingussie's Michael Clark.

gollark: I also use "generate random bytes" oddly often. That may just be me.
gollark: Also map/filter/whatever, though Luadash does that.
gollark: Stuff like `fread` (my terrible name for "read file to string"), `fwrite` (write string to file), `fetch` (send GET request to given HTTP address and return string result), `copy` (deep-copy a table), etc.
gollark: Loads of my projects contain copy-pasted functions to make that sort of thing mildly more convenient.
gollark: Library idea: a convenient utility library for stuff like writing/reading files (as text/JSON/table format/whatever), HTTP requests, and other random stuff.
