KEVIN IS P AND K SPORTS
PERSONALITY OF YEAR
FOR SECOND TIME IN ROW

Scottish amateur golf champion Kevin McAlpine, a member of Alyth Golf Club, has won the Perth & Kinross Sports Personality of the Year Award, sponsored by Norwich Union, for the second year in a row.
McAlpine was unveiled as the winner of the 2006 accolade in a ceremony staged at the AK Bell Library Theatre, before an audience of invited guests.
Big County team player McAlpine was recognised for ensuring the Allied Surveyors Scottish amateur golf title remained in Perthshire. Glenn Campbell, who plays out of Blairgowrie, was Scottish champion in 2005.
The judging panel felt McAlpine’s landmark victory at Nairn in August was worthy of taking the Norwich Union trophy, although there was stiff competition from veteran powerlifter Alastair Christie and international sharpshooter Carol Montgomery.
Kevin’s trophy haul in 2006 also included the Perth and Kinross Golf Union stroke-play championship and the North of Scotland open amateur championship for the David Blair Trophy at Nairn Dunbar.
