THE achievements of young sports people in Darlington will be celebrated at an awards ceremony this week.
The monthly Darlington Sports Winners' scheme, supported by the borough council, recognises the efforts of youngsters involved in sport.
Volunteer judges select the winners each month, taking into account achievements and progress over the year.
The categories are Young Sports Achiever Award, Team or Club Award, Service to Sport Award and Special Achievement Award.
The accolades go to eight to 18-year-olds, or people who coach or assist youngsters.
This month's awards are for swimming, football, martial arts, squash and badminton.
They will be presented to the winners by the Mayor of Darlington, Councillor Stella Robson, in the Dolphin Centre's Central Hall on Wednesday evening.
The winners from each month will go through to the final in December.
For more details and a nomination form, call (01325) 388407.
