NOMINATIONS are officially open for this year’s McDonald’s Grassroots Football Awards, in association with the Scottish FA.
The awards celebrate the efforts of grassroots volunteers across Scotland who go the extra mile in their local communities and I know that there will be many people deserving of being nominated in the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area as it has many teams and all levels.
For eighteen years, McDonald’s has always been keen to sing the praises of local grassroots heroes who invest so much of their own personal time into the game.
I really enjoy hearing about the enthusiasm, devotion and passion of volunteers all across Scotland every year. From rising stars to top volunteers, there are eleven categories to nominate someone in. From the Wick coastline down to the Scottish border, make sure you nominate your football heroes.
The awards feature a wide mix of categories which reflect the huge range of roles that volunteers play, including Best Volunteer in Youth Football, Best Community Football Club, Best Para-Football Project, Football Mum of the Year and Best Community for All Project. Individual awards take place in all home nations including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Nominations for the 2020 Scottish FA & McDonald’s Grassroots Football Awards are now open. To nominate a grassroots football club or volunteer, go to www.mcdonalds.co.uk/awards. The award nominations for Scotland close on June 10 and winners will be presented with their awards at a ceremony at Hampden Park.
