Many of Cheshire East’s unsung heroes have been honoured at the Council’s annual sports awards.
Now in its fourth year, the event aims to recognise the time and dedication put in by volunteers, coaches, clubs and athletes to develop sport across Cheshire East.
More than 170 people attended the awards hosted by BBC Radio Manchester’s Mike Shaft. This year a record 91 nominations were received in the 10 categories.
The winners are:
· Club of the Year – Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club

The event, held at Cranage Hall, is organised by the Council’s leisure development department.
Councillor Janet Clowes, Cabinet member in charge health and adult social care, said: “This awards ceremony recognises those at the grass-roots level who have a passion for sport and represent Cheshire East.
“Many of the people who received awards have dedicated a lot of time to excelling in their chosen sport or guiding others towards their dreams. My congratulations go to all the winners.”
Councillor Clowes’ Cabinet support member for health, Councillor Gail Wait, attended the event.
Directors of Cheshire East Council’s impending new trust, Everybody Sport and Recreation, also attended. Sports clubs and organisations also had the opportunity to find about the new body as part of a display about the way leisure services will be delivered locally.
