THERE is a real buzz around Lochaber Rugby Club’s Banavie ground this week, as it gets ready for its first game of the new season in the uncharted territory of BT West League Division 3.
It means the bulk of Lochaber’s opposition teams are now based in the Glasgow area, as opposed to the Caledonia North league which previously saw the Lochaber players making mammoth away journeys to grounds in Shetland, Aberdeen and Stornoway.
