Oban Celtic 4, Bute 1
TOM McMILLAN'S first half strike wasn't enough to prevent Bute's second team slipping to a second defeat in three weeks at the hands of a clinical Oban Celtic side on Saturday.
The home side, who had eased to a slightly flattering 6-1 win at the Meadows in the sides' previous meeting, got off to the ideal start when Alan Duffy broke the deadlock after just 11 minutes, and though McMillan brought Bute on to level terms five minutes later, the respite for the visitors was brief, Donald MacKay putting Celtic back in front within a few seconds of the restart.
MacKay added his second and Celtic's third on 22 minutes, but Bute refused to buckle and made a good game of it thereafter, restricting the hosts to one more goal, scored by Alan Miller just after the hour mark.
