ARDENCAPLE Football Club held their 11-a-side player of the year awards and race night on Friday, June 19 at the Commodore Hotel to celebrate their season— with club presdient Walter Smith on hand to give out the prizes.

After a campaign in which the 2001 team completed a league and cup double and three other age groups (2000s/1997s and 1998s) all reached cup finals there was much to celebrate for the players and coaches alike.

Walter Smith made the effort to attend the evening after being in London during the day. Everyone at Ardencaple would like to pass on their appreciation for the time and effort he puts in to support the many club events he attends over the season.

Ardencaple would like to thank Ian and Jan Halliday for running a very successful and enjoyable race night and Calum Michie for running the disco.

Further thanks to Martin Obrien-Barden for taking all the photographs.

Ardencaple’s next fund raiser will be at the Logie Baird on Friday, August 14 when they will be hosting a quiz night.
