Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Dawn Huggins, who launched this year’s nominations, said: “There is still time to put forward a nomination for this year’s Moore NI Causeway Coast and Glens Sports Awards, and I would encourage people to take the opportunity to recognise someone who has made a difference through sport.

“Sport plays such an important role in our communities, and across Causeway Coast and Glens we have so many people who give their time, energy and commitment to help others get involved and achieve their best.

“Whether it is an athlete who has achieved sporting success, a coach who has supported others to reach their potential, or a volunteer who gives their time week after week, these awards are an opportunity to celebrate their contribution.

“There are so many inspiring sporting stories across our Borough and I look forward to seeing those stories recognised and celebrating our sporting community at the awards in November.”

There are 13 award categories to choose from, including Services to Sport, Disability Sport and Coach of the Year, as well as Junior and Senior Sports Man and Sports Woman.

Nominees must reside or compete for a team within the Causeway Coast and Glens area. Nominations can be made across multiple categories, provided the relevant criteria are met.

The awards will recognise sporting achievements between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026.
