Deeside Golf Club have won the Aberdeen Pennant League championship, sponsored by the Cults Hotel, for the first time sicne 1999.

They beat Nigg Bay 4-1 in the final at the Kings Links today.

It was a much closer contest that the final scoreline suggests.

The top two better-ball foursomes went to the 18th green - both were won by Deeside but could have gone the other way.
Overall, the standard of golf was very good ... in some matches the losing pairs were under par at the finish!

Paul Lawrie's older son, Craig, was a member of the Deeside team.
