THE BOROUGH’S sports stars were again recognised in the annual Wokingham Borough Council sports awards.

Held at Holme Grange School in Wokingham on Friday, a host of awards were handed out on the night with a bit of help from Reading Women FC manager Kelly Chambers.

Woodley United’s Bill Rodda was named the Unsung Hero while Craig Hunter picked up the final gong of the night, the Chairman’s Award, for his work with Reading Rugby Club and the Berkshire Banshees Wheelchair Rugby Club.

He is currently working to crowdfund £6,400 to buy specialised rugby wheelchairs so players have appropriate chairs to use. Each wheelchair costs £3,200.

Reddam Gymnastics Senior Men’s team were deemed to be the male team of the year, while the talented youngsters in the Wokingham District Primary Schools Girls Football Team were the female team award winners.

The Kestrels work to reach out to the
wider community was also recognised, and the Thames Valley Kings wheelchair basketball team received an honour for their service to disabled sport.
