Ashy was "highly commended" in the Volunteer of the Year category of the Grassroots Football Awards.
He first started volunteering at the Workington AFC ground in the late sixties, he can now be heard as PA announcer on match days.
An engraved trophy and certificate was presented to Ashy on the Borough Park pitch before their pre-season clash with Carlisle United on Saturday.
