CAPTION: Pictured above, Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Dominic Molloy with local sports presenter Thomas Niblock to help launch the Mid Ulster District Council Sports Awards which take place in March.
It's time to highlight our best sports people at the Mid Ulster District Council Sports Awards 2024, and nominations are now open.
The prestigious awards aim to recognise the wealth of sporting talent of individuals and teams from local clubs, schools or sporting organisations who reside or are based in the Mid Ulster area.
Organised by Mid Ulster District Council, the sports awards aim to recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements in the local sports community and will acknowledge the outstanding contribution of coaches and volunteers who help build on the district's reputation for sporting excellence.
The Sports Awards will also celebrate and champion people with disabilities in sports. The awards will highlight the wide-ranging levels and variety of sports that are delivered in the district that make the sporting world a more diverse and inclusive place.
The awards evening will take place at a ceremony held at the Burnavon, Cookstown on Tuesday, 26th March 2024.
Speaking at the launch, Chair of the Council, Councillor Dominic Molloy said: “I'm thrilled that Mid Ulster District Council is honouring those in the community who have achieved sporting success in the past year with an esteemed event in March. It is time to shine a light on our local talent and acknowledge them at our Sports Awards.
“I hope that a lot of organisations and people will be inspired to take the time to submit a nomination to honour the abundance of outstanding sports people in our district. It is no small accomplishment to put in the amount of training hours they do, often while managing other responsibilities in their lives.
"We also look to recognise those unsung heroes whose valuable technical support and coaching abilities are not only vital to succeed but an inspiration to others”.
