Sports Awards 2020

Unfortunately this year, we’ve had to cancel Sports Ball. However, we’re still keen to celebrate all that our sporting community has achieved this year! We’ll also be taking into account Term 3 of the academic year 2019/20 to make up for the loss of Term 3 in the current academic year. Please consider this in your nominations.
