RIO silver medallist Alison Patrick and Scotland international footballer Caroline Weir are in line for more success after being shortlisted for accolades at the Nordoff Robbins Scotland (NRS) Scottish Sporting Awards.

The talented duo will join Bayside Girls 13s in representing West Fife at the inaugural awards ceremony in Edinburgh next month which will celebrate the outstanding achievements of the nation’s exceptional stars from across disabled, professional and amateur sport.

Patrick, who last Wednesday was named as West Fife’s Sports Personality of the Year at Dunfermline and West Fife Sports Council’s annual awards ceremony, has been nominated for Female Parasport Personality of the Year after her exploits at the Paralympic Games.

After retaining her world and European PT5 para-triathlon titles, the visually-impaired athlete earned a memorable silver in Rio, narrowly missing out on gold to Australia’s Katie Kelly.

The other nominees for the award include Libby Clegg, who was a double gold medallist on the track in Rio, fellow sprinter Maria Lyle and discus thrower Jo Butterfield.

Donald MacLeod, chairman of Nordoff Robbins Scotland, said: “We are extremely proud to announce the shortlists for this year’s Parasport Personality of the Year Awards; the athletes are truly inspiring and have achieved incredible things across their sports. From swimming to athletics these young people have shown commitment, dedication and downright determination to get to where they are today and we could not be prouder to celebrate those achievements at this year’s awards.”

Meanwhile, Weir has been recognised for her performances in a history-making Scotland side by being nominated for the Sporting Breakthrough Award.

Pars fan Caroline, 21, featured in each of the women’s team’s qualifying matches as they qualified for their first ever tournament finals by reaching this summer’s European Championships in the Netherlands.

The Liverpool Ladies midfielder scored twice during the campaign – in a 7-0 thrashing of Belarus and in a 4-1 romp in Macedonia – as the Scots won seven of their eight games, with their only defeat coming at home to Iceland.

After joining Liverpool from Bristol Academy last January, the former Hibs and Arsenal player impressed sufficiently to be voted the Reds’ fans Player of the Year, as well as being nominated for Scotland’s award alongside Kim Little, Jane Ross, Joanne Love and Hayley Lauder.

She has been shortlisted alongside Olympic team pursuit gold medal winning cyclist Katie Archibald, rugby player Blair Kinghorn and double Olympic silver medallist in swimming, Duncan Scott, and said: “I’ve really enjoyed it here. I felt welcome at Liverpool from day one and enjoyed life both on and off the pitch. Winning the Player of the Year award was a huge honour and I didn’t expect it.

“Scotland has many talented sportspeople so it’s an absolute honour to be included. It should be a great evening to celebrate the many sporting success stories in Scotland.”

The awards, hosted by music therapy charity NRS, will be hosted by Sky Sports’ David Tanner at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh, on Friday, March 10.
