The Awards will be hosted by one of Britain’s best sportiung commentators, Suzie Perry, who will share the stage with various Sporting Heroes as they celebrate excellence in Scotland’s sportsmen, women and teams during 2008.

Ross  has been short listed in the amateur sportsperson category and he will attend the awards ceremony in Glasgow on Thursday 4 December 2008. There are two other amateur sports stars short listed for the award and their names will be announced nearer the time.

Ross is closing in on an incredible 1000 goals in his top-flight shinty career and seems sure to reach this milestone in the 2009 shinty season. Ross scored 71 times for Kingussie in 2008 and was a major player as Kingussie won the Marine Harvest National Premier League with a perfect 14 wins from 14 league matches. 

He is a Development Officer for the Camanachd Association, based in the North, and facilitates and promotes activity in relation to participation and performance at club and school level within the North. He also supports youth shinty initiatives across Scotland.
