Hayley Newton — November 4, 2021
Our Premier Sports Awards celebration took place on Thursday 4th November.
This year these awards were done a little differently, as we had to act on the no-spectators policy, which we have had to live by for most of the year when it comes to sport, and move to the livestream option. This was a great success and we really appreciated all the positivity that came from this change.
Congratulations to our award winners for the sporting year you have had and the opportunities that you have taken to be the best you can be.
