It is the first time the award ceremony has been held face to face since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and this year it’s due to be held on Friday, November 26, at The Bulmershe Leisure Centre in Woodley.

Cllr Parry Batth, executive member for environment and leisure, said: “We have so many talented sports people in our borough and these annual awards usually attract some very high standard of entries.

"It has been a particularly difficult year for sport due to the pandemic, but many have still accomplished so much.

"I am delighted we will be celebrating so many remarkable achievements in sport.
