Nominations open for East Fife Sports Council awards

The council hopes its awards night can be held on Wednesday, March 30 at the Cupar Corn Exchange but has already formed backup plans to host it online if guidance doesn’t allow.

The evening will celebrate those who have helped support and develop amateur sport across the area.
