THREE of the Gold Coast’s finest athletes have been named early finalists for the city’s 52nd Annual Sports Awards which were launched last week.
Aron Sherriff (Lawn Bowls), Georgia Miller (Surf life saving), and Mathew Belcher (Sailing) were rewarded for their amazing sporting achievements throughout the year as the first finalists for the Award, with further announcements to be made in the coming weeks.
Sheriff, Miller and Belcher now join the race to take the mantle from the likes of Steph Gilmore, Sally Pearson, Michael Shelley and Curtis McGrath who have won in recent years.
The awards focus on the inclusion of all areas of our sporting community from the grassroots to elite, with awards across numerous categories from People’s Choice, to Community Volunteers, to Para-Sport.
The launch, last Wednesday night at McLaughlin’s Lawyers in Bundall, brought together the Gold Coast’s premier athletes and teams as well as a strong grassroots contingent.
“The thing that separates Gold Coast sport from other cities is how much our teams and athletes embrace our community - today’s launch and February’s Sports Awards are our chance to embrace you,” said Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate.
“As Mayor and as a lover of sport, what a privilege it is to be here with all of you to launch this fantastic initiative - well done Sports Gold Coast.”
The 52nd Annual Gold Coast Sports Star Awards will be held on the 27th February, 2020 at Southport Sharks.
