Four charities received cheques last week from money raised at the John MacEachen Memorial Trophy.The event attracted 152 players and raised £5,400.
The money was donated to the Dove Centre (Friends of Oban Hospice), Marie Curie, Pink Ladies and the Macmillan Day Care Unit. John was a former captain of Glencruitten Golf Club and an enthusiastic golfer, and the competition is a tribute to him. In his younger days he played shinty for Oban Celtic, football for Oban Saints and rugby for Oban Lorne, and was instrumental in getting the rugby clubhouse built.
The MacEachen family would like to thank everyone who supported the event and are looking forward to making it an annual event.
