Rob Carmichael received the Breadalbane Our Burgh Community Award for his outstanding and consistent commitment to the local community, as Charlie Shiel’s fine solo effort against Connacht earlier this month was voted the Vision Scotland Men’s Try of the Season.

Lucia Scott claimed the Vision Scotland Women’s Try of the Season for her brilliant finish following a fantastic team move against Glasgow Warriors.

"I want to offer my sincere congratulations to all our award winners tonight," said Edinburgh Rugby Head Coach Sean Everitt
