Sports Awards 2020 was cancelled due to Coronavirus restrictions and so the latest Awards was combined into a bumper two-year celebration to include activities over both years. The awards ceremony took place Monday 9 May 2022 at The Hilton at The Ageas Bowl, Hedge End where shortlistees, nominators, VIPs and sponsors celebrated the sport and physical activity achievements of two challenging calendar years.
It’s not just the top-level athletes, but schools, coaches, volunteers and projects were all in the spotlight over ten categories. Two brand new categories for this year were the Innovation and Health & Wellbeing awards: recognising the amazing flexible and creative efforts during the pandemic.
