Cllr Graham Brown
These awards are a wonderful celebration of sport in Brecknock and Radnorshire and I would like to congratulate all those who were successful on the night.

The number of nominations is a testimony to the strength and breadth of sport, talent and support in the area and the standards being attained by many of young sportspeople is a fantastic achievement.

It was also great that our nominees were able to hear from Powys born and bred duo of Dan Lydiate and Rob Davies. I hope their presence at this year’s ceremony inspired the audience with their individual sporting journeys and successes.Cllr Graham Brown, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for Sports Development
