“The CSAC will also celebrate the work of local sports volunteers.”

Martin Walsh, Centre Manager at Rushmere Shopping commented, “The Craigavon Sports Personality of the Year Awards is a fantastic event which we are delighted to support once again.

“Last year was a phenomenally successful year for sport in Northern Ireland, with many of our sporting heroes making great strides to achieve their aims and ambitions. It’s my hope these awards will encourage others to continue to embrace sport with the passion and drive we need to succeed and that by seeing positive role models in sport being recognised for their hard work and dedication it will spur others on to realise their own sporting goals.

The Mayor of Craigavon, Councillor Colin McCusker, who helped launch the Awards added, “Craigavon has a proud sporting tradition and the annual Sports Personality celebrate the achievements of our sporting men and women and the unsung coaches, volunteers and mentors who contribute so much to the health and well being of the Borough.”
