Sport Pembrokeshire Awards Finalists announced by Judging Panel

The judging panel considered the 296 nominations and has named 39 finalists following a selection meeting.  

 Matt Freeman, manager of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “Once again, the quality of the nominees was enormously high and it was a challenge to narrow it down to three finalists in each category.

“We are pleased that people took the time to nominate so many deserving winners.”

All 39 finalists will be invited to a grand presentation ceremony at Folly Farm on Friday, November 24th, where the winners will be announced.

The ceremony will also reveal the winners of two further categories - the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Chairman’s Special Achievement Award. 

The awards are organised by Sport Pembrokeshire, Pembrokeshire County Council’s sport development team. 

They are sponsored by Sport Pembrokeshire, Valero, The Western Telegraph, Folly Farm and Pure West Radio.

The awards aim to recognise those people who have excelled in sport over the last 12 months, or who have given their time to coaching and organising grass roots sport.
