“It was a really enjoyable occasion, very moving and inspirational, especially the Lifetime Achievement Award and volunteer awards which prove that behind every great sportsperson, you will always find an amazing support team making it happen.

“We are hoping to find an equally exceptional calibre of contenders for this year’s awards, so I am calling on all sports clubs, coaches, parents, grandparents and players to start submitting their nominations.

“We always aim to recognise people that are truly inspirational – motivators and leaders that want the best for their peers and do their utmost to deliver a sporting environment that is fun, safe, and based on the key values of sportsmanship, teamwork, drive and passion.
