The Annual Longford Sports Star Awards for 2018 take place this Friday evening, November 16th at The Rustic Inn, Abbeyshrule. This is the 2nd year Ganley’s have sponsored the Awards which are organised by the Longford Sports Partnership and the Longford Leader to recognise the achievements of Longford athletes in a wide variety of sports from local level progressing to provincial, national and international platforms.
It was fantastic to see several Longford Athletics Club members, Adrianna Melia, Issy Masterson, Yemi and Funmi Talabi, all selected in the monthly categories. Congratulations to both Nelvin Appiah and Cian McPhillips who will be presented with a memento on the night for being voted as one of the monthly winners. Several of the juvenile coaches will be in attendance on the night and are all looking forward to hear Guest of Honour John Treacy, the CEO of Sport Ireland, Irish Olympian and cross country World Champion.
There will be great anticipation on the night to hear who has been selected Junior Sportsperson of the Year, Community/Club Volunteer of the Year, Hall of Fame inductee and Sports Ability Award.
