There has been further support for the latest edition of Aberdeen Sports Awards with more sponsors coming on board for the annual celebration of Granite City sporting excellence.

While the Evening Express-run awards are being backed by headline sponsors Bounty Competitions, other organisations have provided important support for the event.
Sport Aberdeen are sponsoring the showpiece Sports Achiever of the Year category, and Graeme Dale, their head of sport and active communities, said “We are proud to support Aberdeen Sports Awards and celebrate the hard work and achievements of everyone in our local sporting community – including those competing at the highest level of their sport who will be recognised in the Sports Achiever of the Year category.”
