Stirling Observer

Duo are up for awards

-

Photograph­ers Bryan Robertson and George Vekic have both been shortliste­d for the Rugby Photograph­er of the Year award run by the Rugby Journal.

For the past few years, Bryan has been taking snaps for Stirling County - providing photos at all levels for rhe club - and also the Stirling Observer.

George’s rugby photos come from his work at

Bannockbur­n RFC while he also does football snaps for Stirling Universist­y - again with many of them appearing in the Stirling Observer.

Bryan was shortliste­d in the Landscape category for an excellent shot of Bridgehaug­h featuring a rainbow, while George was shortliste­d in the Spirit of Rugby category.

His photo shows a group of women players lifting a tractor tyre.

Category and grand prize winners were due to be announced last night (Tuesday) but all shortliste­d entries will be displayed in an exhibition at the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham from May 26.

George said: “There were more than 600 entries from photograph­ers all across the world – so to have two shortliste­d images from Stirling is fantastic.”
