The FORTH2 Contribution to Sport Award

 

radio forth awards

 

Congratulations to Jim Leishman in winning the FORTH2 Contribution to Sports Award at the Radio Forth Awards.  Entrants were particularly strong this year, the other two finalists being famous in the world of tennis and golf: Andy Murray and Catriona Matthews.

 

The seventh annual Radio Forth Awards, sponsored by Blackhorse Finance, celebrate the best in music, sports and entertainment and also honour local heroes from communities in and around Edinburgh. The ceremony at The Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh on Wednesday 18th November was held to raise money for the Radio Forth charity, Cash for Kids and the awards are voted for by listeners of the station.

The FORTH2 Contribution to Sport Award is designed to reward someone who has increased the profile, participation or awareness of any sport in Edinburgh, the Lothian's and Fife. The winner could be involved in any sport at any level across the area and what we are looking for someone who, through their actions, has made an impact on sport within their community.

The FORTH2 Contribution to Sports Award was sponsored by Buyrite Bathrooms.
