The former Olympian launched the awards at a special event, where she was joined by Hughes Insurance Lisburn Branch Manager, Andrew Oliver.

Dame Mary said: “I know there’s some fantastic work being done by sports volunteers and I’d encourage the people of Lisburn to nominate a volunteer from a local sporting club or society for the chance to win some great prizes.”
