Latest News

The Cheshire and Warrington Sports  Partnership hosted their fifth Annual Awards Dinner on Friday 19th October at the beautiful Cranage Hall in Holmes Chapel.  

 

Over 200 sports people, local dignitaries, VIPs, and celebrities of all ages were at the ceremony to congratulate friends and colleagues on their success – so happy faces all around!

 

The evening was hosted by Steve Parry - Olympic Bronze Medalist in Swimming (Athens 2004) and one of only three people to ever beat the American swimming sensation Michael Phelps.

 

Guest speaker was Jamie Andrew, a Scottish mountaineer who had his hands and feet amputated following a horrific accident in the French Alps, and he paid tribute to all of the people that support sports opportunities for all, giving freely of their time.

 

The nominees for the county awards were of a very high standard, as they had all been successful in winning their relevant award at the district level. The county award winners on the evening were:

Club of the Year                                           West Cheshire AC, Chester

Young Club Of the Year                              Friday Night Fever, Ellesmere Port

The Cheshire and Warrington Sports Partnership also dedicated an Award to the late Jim Cochrane. (Chairman, Cheshire Sports Trust Ltd 1995-2007)  His wife, Margaret Mary received the Award on the evening.  This will be presented in future years in his memory of disability sport, and the contribution he made. 

 

In addition to the awards presentation guests enjoyed a sumptuous 3 course sit down meal and a raffle of sporting memorabilia which included a signed Sale Sharks T-Shirt and Mascot Package, a Warrington Wolves signed Ball, a 2 night stay at a Hayley Hotel (courtesy of Cranage Hall) plus lots more. The raffle raised over £500 which will be used to support and develop young sporting ambassadors across the County.

 

Michelle Carney, Chief Executive Officer of Sport Cheshire commented that… the awards dinner is an ideal opportunity to celebrate the successes in sport across the county and a chance to say thank you to all the unsung heroes contributing to the development of sport. Our coaches, officials, volunteers and clubs are the driving force behind sport development, ensuring that people have the opportunity to experience sport at it’s best…

 

The Cheshire and Warrington Sports Partnership would like to thank all of the sponsors, Local Authority Sports Development Managers and School Sport Partnership Development Managers for their contributions and support towards the event.
