There was Millport representation at the Firth of Clyde golf league which has been running for over 40 years.

This year the league has a new format with five of the original eight clubs taking part, Port Bannatyne, Rothesay, Gourock, Cowal and Millport. This year's first match was held at Port Bannatyne golf club on Sunday in very windy and testing conditions.

The course was presented in very good condition along with first class catering. The league would like to thank Port Bannatyne golf club for the use of their course. The new format has managed to attract local sponsors for each home fixture, with Macs Bar, Rothesay sponsoring the home fixture at Port Bannatyne, thank you to George and Katie Ross for their kind support. Cowal golf club were the biggest winners of the day with an impressive 3 wins and 1 half closely followed by Port Bannatyne golf club with 2 wins and 1 half. Nearest the pin winners were James Dainty (Cowal) 4th hole, Robert Turnbull (Port Bannatyne) 10th hole and George Reynolds (Rothesay) 18th hole. The prize for biggest win on the day went to Donald Standaloft and Alastair Shaw (Port Bannatyne) 5&4 against Gourock GC.

The next round of matches will be played over Rothesay GC on Sunday August 13.
