Awards Ceremony 2022

Cupar Corn Exchange, 30 March 2022, from 7pm

The East Fife Sports Council exists to support, promote and develop amateur sport at all levels within the East Fife area. Each year we celebrate sports people from our area together with their clubs, coaches and volunteers.

The 2022 Awards Ceremony recognises the contribution of sports people who have supported and been active in their communities in Fife during the year to 31 December 2021. 

And the winners are…

Last night we were delighted to welcome our members and guests to the first EFSC Awards Ceremony to be held in person in 3 years, at Cupar Corn Exchange. We had a super night and heard about the amazing acts that our sporting clubs, groups and individuals carried out in 2021. Every story showed how important they all are and the judging committee found choosing winners a real challenge. We want to say congratulations to every nominee and thank you to our guests and to everyone who helped and supported us. We look forward to next year.
