2012 Sports Awards launched

In a year of unparallelled sporting success for the nation, the district’s sports men and women have been at the very heart of the action.

But while the likes of Nigel Murray, Mandip Sehmi and Kelly Sibley grabbed the headlines, we know there are many more equally deserving candidates whose success may not have received the same exposure.

We want your nominations, be they experienced international champions, determined youngsters achieving their first local success or tireless volunteers who have worked behind the scenes.

Players, coaches and helpers of all ages are eligible for the awards. All we ask is that nominees live, go to school or play for a club in the district.

With your help we will compile a list of nominations and draw up a shortlist from which the winners will be chosen.

All the winners will then be revealed during a presentation at the Spa Centre on Friday 25 January 2013.

 Simply email [email protected] with your nomination and category and the reasons for your choice.

The closing date for all nominations is Tuesday 4 December.
