Awards night
It was an evening of celebration at the South Ayrshire Sports Awards.
The annual event takes place to recognise sporting achievement and reward the often unsung heroes who give up so much of their time for the love of sport.
The awards are a chance for sportsmen and women to shine but they also highlight the invaluable contribution of parents and carers, coaches and officials who all work hard to underpin sporting success across South Ayrshire.
