Mr Davis said: “With horse racing legend Tony McCoy reaching another historical milestone, it proved once again that Northern Ireland can produce the very best that sport can offer.

“Considering the size and population, the province in relation to sport has delivered sports champions time after time, of which we can all be rightly proud.

“I was very privileged to have met Tony McCoy at a sports award dinner some years ago and I am delighted that bearing in mind the men and women that Northern Ireland has produced at every level of aport, another Ulsterman has kept the province to the fore.

“It illustrates the essential need for sport to be promoted so that Northern Ireland can continue to turn out future champions.”
