One of the highlights of the local sports fraternity’s calendar makes a welcome return this May when the 2023/24 Derry Strabane Sports Awards are hosted in the Guildhall.

The event will be hosted by Derry City and Strabane District Council, in partnership with the District Sports Forum, on Thursday May 30th and aims to publicly recognise the individuals, teams and clubs that contributed to local sport over the last 12 months.

Winners of the 15 categories will be announced on the night and nominees are now being sought now for athletes and coaches who reside within the Council area.

The awards were last hosted before the Covid pandemic in 2019 and Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Patricia Logue, welcomed their return.

“The Derry Strabane Sports Awards are Council’s way of acknowledging and rewarding the achievements of our local sports fraternity over the last 12 months,” she said.

“Sport plays a central role in community life in this City and District, offering people a platform to showcase their talents, gather socially and reap the health benefits of physical activity.

“It has been another vintage year for sport with local clubs and individuals shining at local, national and international level and it is important that we celebrate and recognise the often unseen work that goes into achieving that.”

Nominations are accepted from organisations, local sports clubs, schools, youth clubs and individuals.
