One lucky reader could soon walk away with a guaranteed £2,500, courtesy of The Oban Times’ Spot the Shinty Ball competition. Placing a cross exactly in the centre of the ball is necessary to win the jackpot. However, should this not happen before Thursday September 6, when the prize pot reaches £5,000, then for that week only, we will off er a one-off prize of £2,500 to whoever gets their cross closest to the ball. The remaining jackpot of £2,500 will carry on to the following week. So keep your eye on the jackpot in the coming weeks and good luck!
