IRVINE ROTARY
President Alex Lumsden introduced a sporting theme on Monday at the Rotary Club of Irvine's meeting, when Ronnie Young presented Community Service awards to two men with a total of over 100 years of service to sport in Irvine.
Archie McCallum, President of Irvine Cricket Club, has been a batsman, club captain and most recently has focussed on fundraising via the successful annual dinner in March of each year.
In receiving the award, Archie gave credit to the ground keeper, the match secretary and of course the captain and team.
Duncan Black, better known as 'Wee Dunky' has served Irvine Meadow as team physio for 45 years, under 21 managers. Duncan is a much respected figure in junior football, particularly proud of Meadow's last great cup winning season and a good start to this season with prospects in the Scottish Cup qualifiers.
There was also time to reminisce on players of the past such as Eric Morris and Hugh O'Brien.
President Alex thanked both gentlemen for their tremendous commitment to sport in our community and also to George Donaldson for producing elegant certificates.

This might not be the only award that Duncy will be receiving as a group of Meadow fans have contacted their MP requesting that 'The Pyhsio' is recognised in the Queen's awards.
