An annual youth tournament is set to be renamed in memory of East Lothian Council's former leader Willie Innes, who died after a long battle with cancer last year.
The East Lothian Youth Games will be permanently renamed the Willie Innes Youth Games under proposals set to go before East Lothian Councillors next week. The trophy which secondary schools play for at the games will also be renamed the Willie Innes Trophy.
Council leader Norman Hampshire, who took over the role following the death of Councillor Innes last October, said it was a 'fitting tribute' to his long-standing colleague who had been a driving force in sports development in the county.
