Folkard targeting senior female prize

The Great Britain star was recently ranked the United Kingdom’s top female for a 13th time, but faces serious competition for the Warwick District Award from squash star Sarah-Jane Perry and athletes Sue Harrison and Pennie Sandell, with Sandell in particular drawing strong support.

Meanwhile, on the senior team front, Leamington C&AC have been nominated in light of a year which has seen plenty of success for Harrison and Andrew Savery in addition to a promising crop of youngsters coming through.

However, with Kenilworth Runners also enjoying a fine year, despite having yet to be nominated, and Leamington FC cruising to the Southern League Premier title, this also promises to be a strong category.

There is still plenty of time for you to put forward your sporting heroes, whether they be internationally recognised, dominant on the local scene or unsung.

Nominations of no more than 150 words outlining the achievements of the individual or team are invited in the nine categories listed below.

Nominations should be marked “Sports Awards” and include the category for which the person is being put forward, along with your name, address and phone number.

Nominations can be sent or hand delivered to the 
Courier offices at 32 Hamilton Terrace, Leamington, 
CV32 4LY or emailed to [email protected]

Nominees must live, go to school or play for a club in the district and all entries must be received by Friday December 6.

With your help we will draw up a shortlist, with the winners being revealed at a ceremony at the Spa Centre on Friday January 17, 2014.

There, we will also announce the much-coveted sports personality of the year. for 2013.
