Sport Central Coast

History was made at the Central Coast Sports Awards with two athletes crowned joint Sportsperson of the Year: a first in the award’s history 😁

Over 160 guests from across the coast attended the dinner with 13 awards presented.

Sport Central Coast Deputy Chairman Mark Ramsdale acknowledged the diverse range of nominees across all categories, and thanked the many volunteers and sponsors who help make the awards a celebrated night on the Central Coast sporting calendar.

"If it weren’t for those playing, coaching, officiating, volunteering, or supporting, our community would not have the opportunities we do to participate in local activities and programs.”
