Description | Bandy was a game that reportedly resembled shinty or modern field hockey, in which players on two teams attempted to advance a ball with a club into the opposing team's goal. |
Sources | The Richmond Whig, Aug. 21, 1866 speaks of southerners 20 years prior playing bandy and chermany. See also Altherr, "Southern Ball Games--Chermany, Round Cat, etc. " Base Ball (Spring 2011). |

Comment | For more on Bandy and Field Hockey, see Giden et al., "On the Origin of Hockey." This book suggests that "bandy" was in the 1800s sort of a generic name for ice or field hockey games. [ba] Edit with form to add a comment |
