The cup will be presented at Cardross Golf Club on thurs 24th Sept.

 A sincere thanks to all Milngavie Seniors who played in the 15 matches involved including the very supportive reserve players. A similar thanks to Hugh Park for his cuisine, the captain and secretary and indeed all of the committee including  Tambowie for their continual support.

The most significant accolade must be afforded to Wallace Wilson and his team for course preparation and in particular the fantastic job they performed on thurs 20th Aug for keeping the course open in horrendous conditions in order that we could secure a most significant win.

On the same day not one other match was played in the whole of East and West Dunbartonshire!

My sincere thanks again to all,
