SPORTS AWARDS 2008 - WINNERS
Sports Personality of the Year
sponsored by
Cannons Health Clubs
Melissa McSorley is our Sports Personality of the Year. Melissa is a leading member of Livingwell Taekwondo Academy in Horley , a club which produces many fine exponents of taekwondo. She is the four-year unbeaten national champion in her category and has won gold and silver medals in a host of international competitions. She will be in action again soon in the European and World championships. Melissa trains for part of each year in Sri Lanka where she is very active in promoting taekwondo in schools and orphanages in some of the most destitute areas of that country.
Young Sports Personality of the Year
sponsored by
Pickfords Property Consultants Ltd Louise Watkin is unlikely to be able to collect her award in person as she is currently swimming in Beijing as part of the Great Britain team in the Paralympics. Louise, who is a member of Redhill and Reigate Swimming Club, is sixteen and has been swimming since the age of seven. She is the British and European record holder in all her events in her disability categories. She is swimming in the 50, 100, and 400 metre freestyle events and in the 200 metre individual medley in Beijing. Even if she doesn’t bring back any medals this time, there is London to look forward to in four years time!
Club of the Year
sponsored by
Morrisons,Solicitors The exploits of Merstham Football Club and the Merstham 1st team last season were simply staggering - a run of 42 unbeaten games brought them five major trophies including winning the Combined Counties League by a record margin. To add to this they reached the last eight of the F.A.Vase, the competition open to all amateur clubs. The success of this team is, however, only part of the success of the whole club which runs an incredible 21 football teams - five for men, one for ladies, two for girls and thirteen for boys! The club has been in existence for over one hundred years and is run by a group of dedicated volunteers who have created a genuine, friendly and successful club for all local residents to enjoy, based around Teamwork, Discipline & Respect.
Team of the Year
sponsored by
Surrey Mirror Reigate Priory Cricket Club’s First XI has won the Surrey Championship Premier League title for the second year in succession and for the third time in four years. This is a really tough, high-class competition full of very experienced teams, and to maintain their title was a remarkable feat. The club has a long history of players who have gone on to play for the county side including, currently, Jason Roy and Chris Murtagh. Reigate Priory is a great academy for young players with two sides playing in each age group in junior cricket. In addition there are six senior teams and, new this year, a ladies team who also won their league!
Disabled Sports Award
sponsored by
Simply Sports The Disabled Sports award this year goes to Rachelle Sexton who, with her husband, Mike, runs the Westcroft Judo Club in Nork. Rachelle is an experienced coach with particular skills in helping people with special needs to participate in judo. She has a policy of integrating children of all needs into mainstream activities at the club and visits schools in the area to run classes. In the adult world, she works closely with Mencap in providing participation days and short courses at the Westcroft Leisure Centre. One comment we received on her work was ‘Rachelle’s judo has been a life-changing experience for many of these individuals’.
Volunteer of the Year
sponsored by
rb sport - the Reigate and Banstead District Sports Council Ian Whiteman has been an enthusiastic member of the Old Reigatian Hockey Club since its formation in 1960. In addition to representing the club in over 950 matches he acted as Secretary for ten years and as Treasurer for an incredible thirty-one years! Not content with his past record, he now turns up for umpiring duties most weeks and coordinates summer hockey. The number of nominations in the ‘Volunteer’ category exceeded all the others, showing how much clubs depend on their services and how much they are appreciated. Ian Whiteman is a prime example of these wonderful enthusiasts.
Young Team of the Year
sponsored by
Watson Wyatt Worldwide South Park Sports Association is another highly successful club providing opportunities for football and cricket in their particular part of the Borough. They have twenty-six football teams of all ages but the star team of last season was the Under 15 side who were the winners of the Epsom and Ewell League in which they play, winning 19 of the 22 games played and scoring 158 goals in the process! For good measure, they won the League Cup as well. Eight members of the team went on to play for the Combined League team. They certainly deserve to be the Young Team of the Year.
Coach of the Year
sponsored by
the Surrey County Playing Fields Association Barry Denman from Reigate Lawn Tennis Club is our Coach of the Year. One of a team of coaches at the club, Barry only qualified as a tennis coach after taking early retirement at the age of fifty. Since then he has dedicated his time to helping the youngest members of the club, often as young as three, by introducing them to the game in the best possible way. He is now sixty-one, and a grandfather himself, but manages to combine professionalism with fun and enthusiasm and has seen some of the juniors he encouraged in their earliest days go on to represent the club at county level.
Community Sports Coach of the Year
sponsored by
rb sport - the Reigate and Banstead District Sports Council Although this was not one of our original categories of award, the nomination of Rita Wright was so impressive that we felt that we would like to make a special, additional, award. Rita has Multiple Scelorosis and needs crutches to move around but has helped countless children and adults with disabilities to take part in sport. She became the first person with MS to qualify as a fitness instructor and now manages the ‘Fit for Life’ project at the YMCA Centre in Redhill. She coaches children with special needs in Boccia and Indoor Curling and organises the Surrey Youth Games Boccia competition. In the words of Ian Burks of the YMCA ‘Rita is a remarkable woman overcoming her own disability to inspire others to take up physical activity… which has made a massive difference to the lives of many children and adults across Surrey’
