 In February 1887 a great interest was aroused in Inverness and the surrounding area due to a contest between Glenurquhart and Strathglass at the Bught, Inverness.As a result of this re-kindled interest a meeting was held on Friday 25 March 1887 at the Burgh Court House, Inverness.A club was formed known as Inverness Town and County Shinty Club and 52 members were registered

Inverness played several matches against the Railway Workshop Club, Cameron Highlanders and Aberdeen University until the last recorded appearance of the Inverness (Railway) club in 1890.
