NOMINATIONS are now being welcomed for the 2015 Herefordshire & Worcestershire Sports Awards as preparations begin for what promises to be another fascinating look at the sporting talent within the two counties.
Worcester Warriors’ Sixways stadium will again play host to the glittering awards night in November and for the second year running Bullivant Media – publishers of the Malvern Observer – is sponsoring the headline Sports Personality of the Year award – one of 14 honours to be given out.
Members of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire community are now invited to put forward candidates who they feel deserve recognition for their sporting achievement and dedication to sport within their community.
The 2014 Sports Personality of the Year was Worcester Warriors star Chris Pennell and the full back describing the awards as a “fantastic celebration of local sport”.
“Last year’s event was brilliant. I was taken aback by the calibre of the sportsmen and women in the room during the event at Sixways and felt incredibly humble to receive the award,” he said.
“When you look at the achievements of the likes of Moeen Ali and Sascha Kindred OBE and also see the superb achievements of the many youth teams and youngsters who were up for honours, we should be incredibly proud as a region of these people.”
The annual event, which is attended by more than 250 amateur and professional sports people, local businesses and dignitaries, will take place on Wednesday, November 4.
