Rothesay Motors Winter League week 5

 

 
Week 5 of the Rothesay Motor Services winter league threw up a few surprises and a few “scuddings”.
Biggest upset of the week was Davie Greer and Big Al beating last years winners Colin and Carl 6&4, maybe not a huge surprise of the result but the score line is a bit of a shock. A lot of people standing in as a substitute this week as this was pencilled in due to last weeks call off. The course was in superb condition and as always we were all fed and watered in the bar afterwards. The leagues will be posted soon, but with one qualifier to go, there are still a few leagues which will go to the wire.
