Speaking at the event, Councillor Keith Chapman, Executive Member for Culture and Recreation of Hampshire County Council commented: "Tonight has been a fantastic opportunity to recognise and reward local people’s dedication to sport and celebrate their achievements. Following on from such an amazing year for sport in 2012 it is inspiring to see so much commitment, inspiration and excellence within the sporting community in our county. I hope that this will continue for many years to come."

More than two hundred athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, teams and clubs were put forward to receive an award in 2011. The record number of entries underlines the strength in depth of sporting talent and commitment across the county.

Speaking at the event, Councillor Keith Chapman commented, “Tonight has been a fantastic celebration of sport throughout our county.  

The shortlisted nominees and winners reflect not only the quality of local sporting talent and achievement, but also the incredible dedication and commitment of the many unsung heroes – the coaches, volunteers and officials who together make Hampshire and the Isle of Wight such a great county to participate in and enjoy sport.”

The Awards benefitted from the support of a number of local businesses and organisations who came together to help share the celebration of local sporting excellence.  The event was featured on BBC Radio Solent in the build up to the event, whilst support was also received from Active Nation, Biscoes Solicitors, Coaching Hampshire & IOW, Hampshire 2012, Halo Conferences at Southampton Football Club, Promo Logo, Sport Structures and Toucan Design.

Judged by an independent panel, the standard of entries for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Sports Awards 2010 was exceptional, with many current and aspiring international athletes featuring in the shortlist. In addition, an Outstanding Achievement Award was presented to Geoff Holt, the first transatlantic quadriplegic sailor, in recognition of his significant sailing accomplishments.

Councillor Margaret Snaith-Tempia, Executive Member for Culture and Recreation commented: “The quality of this year’s shortlist is a demonstration of the immense sporting talent and commitment to sport in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.  It all bodes very well for the future of sport in the county.”

“I expect to see many of our winners and shortlisted nominees participating at the London Olympics in 2012 and hope that the recognition they have received tonight spurs them on to continued success.”
