Bute Golf Club

ROTHESAY golfers charged to title success in Bute Seniors League last week as they lifted the McMillan Quaich for a second time thanks to a vital away point in their final match at Kingarth. The undefeated Canada Hill players, led by team captain Ben Ward, have been in impressive form this season with three victories and a drawn match to their credit. This leaves Bute and Port Bannatyne battling it out to avoid bottom place. The highlight for a rejuvenated Rothesay team, which finished below both island rivals last season, was a creditable away victory at the Port.
