Recognising and celebrating local sporting achievements
We are always excited to hear about the local sporting achievements that have occured throughout 2019. Whilst celebrating and recognising outright sporting talent and achievement, the awards focus on the determination of individuals to overcome adversity, reflect on the huge commitment of our sporting community, and those who run vital sporting organisations.
The event celebrates local heroes and heroines from all levels of sport with awards presented to individuals and teams, young and old from communities across the county. A fantastic uplifting and humbling evening recognising the area’s local sporting talent. The thirteen award categories ensure
participants in all sports and of all ages have a chance to win.
The event culminates with the final accolade of the night being awarded to The Hull & East Riding’s Sporting Champion, the one to watch in the future. Previous Sporting Champions have included Olympian Luke Campbell and professional tennis player Kyle Edmunds.
