The award categories are:

• Girls (U16) sporting achievement
• Disability sport award
• Junior (U16) disability sport award
• Unsung hero
• Club organiser of the year
• Team achievement of the year
• Junior (U16) team achievement
• Contribution to school sport.

All nominees, and guests, will be invited to the annual Sport Pembrokeshire Awards ceremony in November.

The awards are sponsored by Sport Pembrokeshire – the sports development arm of Pembrokeshire County Council, Folly Farm, Valero, Radio Pembrokeshire, and the Western Telegraph.

“These awards are our chance to celebrate sporting success in the county,” said Ben Field, sports development manager at Sport Pembrokeshire.

“It’s our opportunity to congratulate the county’s top performers, while also recognising the hard work of coaches, teachers, club organisers and volunteers who make it all possible – and don’t forget that last year’s nominees are welcome again.”

To nominate someone you think deserves recognition collect a form from Sport Pembrokeshire at County Hall, Haverfordwest, or phone 01437 776191 to be posted or emailed a copy.
