Brian Whittle MSP said:
“It was a real honour to be invited by the Tigers to present these awards. Having seen how the team has expanded in the few years that I’ve known them, it’s great to see how players have developed and that new people continue to join.
Powerchair football is changing people’s lives and I’m proud to help support that. Later this year, I’m sponsoring a stand in Holyrood to introduce more MSPs to the sport and I’ll keep working to raise the profile of the game however I can.
Well done to all the award winners and to the players, coaches and volunteers who make the Tigers, the success that it is!”
