JAMES AND KELSEY RECEIVE NPFA
AWARDS IN EDINBURGH


James Byrne (Banchory) and Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) were both presented with medals at the National Playing Fields Association Awards Night at the City Chambers in Edinburgh.
Lady Provost Lesley Hinds and Bill McAllister from Inverness, vice-chairman of the NPFA Scotland, made the presentations to some 22 Scottish athletes for meritorious performances during 2006.
Richie Ramsay (Royal Aberdeen), winner of the United States amateur championship last year, was not able to be present to accept the main NPFA Award, a silver salver.
Stuart Turner of the Scottish Golf Union accepted the award on Richie’s behalf. Previous winners of the salver include former Open and Masters champion Sandy Lyle and racing driver Jackie Stewart.
