About the Medway Sports Awards 2022
We’re excited to announce the return of the Medway Sports Awards - Medway’s 2-yearly celebration of local sporting success.
It’s the first time the awards have been held since 2018 after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced the awards to be cancelled in 2020. This means we have 4 years of success to reflect on and celebrate this year.
From clubs, teams and individuals to coaches, volunteers and schools, the Medway Sports Awards 2022 in association with Bellway Homes shine a light on the achievements of Medway's finest sportspeople and the dedication of the individuals who make sport happen in Medway.
Previous winners have included:
- Olympic gold medal-winning hockey goalkeeper Maddie Hinch
- Paralympic gold medal-winning skier Charlotte Evans
- Boxer Karol Itauma.
