Edinburgh Uni Hare and Hounds enjoyed a strong 2020 – despite Covid-19 issues – and that has been reflected in a number of award wins.

And the Haries picked up another virtual trophy when named as Edinburgh Uni Sports Club of the Year.

The cross country and running club saw off the challenges of rival clubs in the shape of the Boat Club, the Snowsports Club and the Women’s Football Club.

Congratulations to all at Edinburgh Uni Hare and Hounds and we look forward to seeing those green vests prominent again when events resume.

Bellahouston Road Runners are another club who have worked so hard in recent months to keep activity happening during the pandemic.

The Sports Council of Glasgow issued their 2020 annual awards last week in a virtual celebration and it was a wee bit special for those inpurple and white!

Bellahouston Road Runners were named as Club of the Year and there were individual successes for Richard Leyton as Volunteer of the Year and Gerry Scullion as Community Coach of the Year.

Congratulations to Richard and Gerry and all at Bella Road Runners.
