THE annual Montgomeryshire Sports Awards will take place in the New Year.

Volunteer organisers saved the event from the scrap heap last year and will once again be honouring the stars of 2019 at a special ceremony on January 31, 2020.

As ever Newtown’s Hafren Centre will host the event which honours the star performers and leading club achievements each year.

Among the most prestigious awards is the Senior and Junior Sports Personality accolades as well as Club of the Year and Team of the Year.

Organiser Dave Peters said: “We have reverted to January as it is felt this is the best time to have such a celebration.

“The event is only a success if we have the nominations and we encourage all those who wish to nominate to contact 01686 630344 or 07967766754.

The closing date for nominations is Friday, January 3.
