After a fantastic summer of sport, nominations are now open for Pembrokeshire’s own celebration of sporting achievement.
The prestigious Sport Pembrokeshire Awards 2024 will be held at Folly Farm on Friday November 29th and nominations for the 13 award categories open today (Monday 9th September).
The categories recognise the sporting achievements of individuals and teams and the dedication of volunteers and coaches in community sport.
Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Council Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, said the Sport Pembrokeshire judging panel had received record nominations over recent years and hoped that would continue.
“It has been fantastic to see so many nominations across all categories in recent awards. This just shows the sheer number of people involved in and enjoying sport in Pembrokeshire across all ages.
“The Sport Pembrokeshire Awards have always been a chance to celebrate sporting success as well as thanking those, particularly the volunteers, who are essential for grass-roots sport.”
“Please do get your nominations in as soon as possible.”
Nominations close on October 13th.
Thanks go once again to the Awards sponsors, Valero, Pure West Radio and Folly Farm for ensuring that the celebration of Pembrokeshire sport can continue.
