Sports awards: entry deadline is extended

Clubs and organisations now have until 5pm next Monday, November 19 to submit their applications, but no submissions will be accepted after that date.

“We want to recognise the fantastic achievements of sportsmen and women throughout the Borough of Ballymena and to say a huge thank you to coaches, clubs and volunteers who are essential to all sporting activity,” said Ballymena Borough Council Sports Development Officer Katrina McCaughan.

“With your help, we will compile a list of nominees in categories ranging from ‘Team of the Year’ to ‘Adult Sportsperson of the Year’.

“A selection committee will then consider nominations and draw up a shortlist from which the eventual winners will be chosen.

“We want your nominations so if you feel that an individual/team deserves recognition for their sporting achievements then you can download a nomination form from www.ballymena.gov.uk/sportsawards.asp or alternatively they are available from Seven Towers Leisure Centre or Ballymena Showgrounds.”

The nomination forms must be returned to Katrina at Ballymena Showgrounds, Warden Street, Ballymena, BT43 7DR by 5pm on Monday 19 November 2012.

The awards take place on Thursday, January 24, at the Braid Centre.
