The Cork Sports Partnership has extended the closing date of the awards Scheme 2011 to Friday January 27th 2011. These awards, an initiative of the Irish Sports Council, and this year in partnership with the Oriel House Ballincollig, recognise the achievements and dedication of local sports people, volunteers and coaches of all ages, across all sports and communities in Cork.
An awards presentation will be scheduled in this year’s partner, The Oriel House Hotel, Ballincollig, where all the winners and nominees will be invited to a function to honour their achievements.
Local people, sports clubs, schools, higher and further education establishments, community groups and other members of the local sports scene can nominate individuals and teams who they feel have made a really positive contribution to the community and/or their sport.
Awards will be presented to winners in 12 different categories. These awards celebrate the wonderful contribution that so many people make through Sport. Volunteers, coaches and Parents invest huge amounts of their time and energy into sports clubs, organisations and innovative projects, and deserve to be recognised and thanked for this voluntary contribution.
“The benefits of being involved in sport and physical activity on a regular basis are tremendous, and a scheme like this will seek to recognize all those that are involved in so many different ways at a local club/organization level, enabling and growing Participation in any sport or activity. The Cork Sports Partnership team is working hard to promote the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle, and the award-winners serve as an inspiration to us all.” Chairperson of the Sports partnership Mr. Ted Owens
