It's not easy being a sportsman in Kintyre. You don't just leap on a coach and drive for half an hour to your match. No; every Saturday you can meet shinty players on the Portavadie ferry heading for Tighnabruich, golfers on the Mull ferry heading for Tobermory, or - as was the case last Sunday - cricketers on the Claonaig ferry heading for the Sannox Oval. Surely the most glorious cricket ground in the U.K.

Sadly for our chaps in their first league match of the season they didn't excel. Sannox finished their innings at 286 for 6, with one of their batsman scoring a double century. Carradale were all out for 36.
