The shortlist for this year’s Stewartry Sports Awards can now be revealed. Members of Stewartry Sports Council and sponsors recently got together to go through the mountain of nominations.
As always, it was a hard job after another tremendous year for athletes, clubs, teams and coaches from the Stewartry. The awards evening will be held at Castle Douglas Golf Club at 7pm on Friday, November 15.
This year’s contenders for sports personality of the year, sponsored by The Galloway News, are Sean Allan for judo, Lewis Martin for cycling, Alison Pringle for swimming and triathlon and Lisa Ritchie for rugby.
The four are also shortlisted for the outstanding achievement at club level, sponsored by Jas P Wilson, as are cyclists David Houston and Rebecca Saunderson and horse rider Heather Conn.
