Notts CC and Sport Nottinghamshire have announced the shortlists for the annual Nottinghamshire Sports Awards. The awards are a celebration of grassroots and professional sports. The awards will be presented during a ceremony on Wednesday 4 February at the Nottingham Conference Centre, in Burton Street, Nottingham, starting at 7pm. There are plenty of high achievers in both junior and senior age groups and all areas of the county are well represented on the finalists list. Stars competing for the title of Sportsperson of the Year include Becky Downie who scooped gold on the uneven bars at the European Championships in May last year and added double Commonwealth Gold to this collection, and Isobel Pooley, who set a personal best of 1.92m to win Commonwealth Games High Jump silver. There are familiar names from London 2012 competing for the title of Disabled Sportsperson of the Year, with nominees including Richard Whitehead, medallist at the IPC European Athletics Championships, and swimmer Ollie Hynd – who shone at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with further outstanding performances, and who has Paralympic, World and European Champion titles to his name.
