Blaenau Gwent Council has honoured Cymric Netball Club with a special recognition certificate for their outstanding commitment to equality and inclusion within the community.
Presiding Member and Equality Champion, Councillor Chris Smith, visited a training session this week to present the team with their award and took the opportunity to net a few balls himself!
The award celebrates the club’s dedication to creating a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment for all — both on and off the court. Cymric Netball Club has consistently demonstrated how sport can be a powerful force for bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and celebrating diversity.
Councillor Smith praised the club’s impact, saying:
“Cymric Netball Clwb is a shining example of how sport can unite us. Their commitment to inclusion and community spirit reflects the very best of Blaenau Gwent. It’s an honour to recognise their work.”
