Shortlist
Our panel of expert judges has just finished going through this year's nominations and are ready to announce the shortlist. Hull Trains and KCFM 99.8 would like to congratulate everyone that entered this year's awards, the standard of entries was incredibly high and we were delighted to see so many of you take part.
The level of talent and commitment shown by sports people in the region is truly awe inspiring and you all deserve a pat on the back. We would encourage anyone who did not make this year's shortlist to enter the awards again next year - in many cases the final decisions were very close.
