OBAN Lorne welcomed title-chasing Newton Stewart as Saturday’s opposition in what was a very important game for both teams.
The Green Machine were in the hunt for some much-needed league points to lift themselves away from the relegation zone, while the visitors knew that a win would secure the league title and promotion to the National League for the first time in the club’s history. Due to a frozen pitch at Glencruitten, the game was moved to the beautiful surroundings of the back-up North Connel pitch which was in perfect condition for the game.
