History

Uddingston Shinty Club grew from the establishment of a school club in Uddingston Grammar School in 2016 by a teacher from South Uist, Lee Thompson, formerly of Uist Camanachd, who played for Tayforth Camanachd. [1]

The club was officially founded in 2019.

It developed a women's section and a men's section which entered senior competition in 2022. [2] This was after a delay caused by COVID cancelling the 2020 season and the 2021 season being shortened.

In 2022, Uddingston's men had a difficult first season, being unable to fulfil fixtures on three occasions and finishing bottom. They groundshared with Glasgow Mid-Argyll at Peterson Park in Yoker.

From the 2023 season onwards, Uddingston's home games took place at Stepps Playing Fields.

The club has a sponsorship deal with Tunnocks.
