This is the big enchilada


I don't know what Campbeltown have in store for Sunday night but one of her sons will take part in the US of A Superbowl that night and you've got to think there'll be a bit of a party atmosphere out in the west.

Lawrence Tynes is not only the kicker but he almost single-handedly dragged the unbeaten New England Patriots into the final with some fine kicking against Green Bay. Yes, it would be easy to imagine the random Scot in the team cleaned the shoes and played a couple of minutes each game but this guy is one of the key players.

So it's no wonder he's excited, calling the event the "creme de la creme" and "the big enchilada".

I'm guessing he picked that last phrase up over in the States rather than in downtown Campbeltown though...!
