Shiskine beat Machrie to lift Kilbrannan cake stand
Shiskine Golf Club
A total of 22 ladies from Shiskine and Machrie Bay golf clubs played in Kilbrannan Cake Stand, played at Shiskine on Thursday November 5.
The competition was played in accommodating weather, not too cold or windy and no rain.
The Shiskine course was in very good condition and some excellent scores were returned.
The Stableford points were totalled for the two teams and on this occasion, Shiskine won.
The trophy, complete with its knitted cup cakes, was presented as were two special prizes kindly donated by the ladies' captains, Clare Buchanan of Machrie Bay and Jerry Arthur of Shiskine.

Many thanks to Machrie Bay for hosting and to David for all his hard work on the course. There is no catering during all of the winter for this competition.
Machrie won both games against Corrie. Brodick won both games against Shiskine. It was great to see young Rory and Ross playing in this competition. Lamlash and Whiting Bay shared the spoils with one game each.
