After a record number of nominations, the 2022/23 Sports Awards Shortlists is here! The award winners will be honoured at the SOLD OUT ‘Sports Ball’ at Ribchester Hall on Friday 21st April.
Last year saw the return of the Sports Ball, after a 2 year hiatus, with a revamped set-up, a number of new awards and more opportunities to celebrate all of our Sports Clubs.
This year sees the highest standard we have seen within each category to date, with shortlisting and winner selection being some of the hardest we have ever had to do!
Below is a list of Award Shortlists but please note that Club Colours, Full Colours, The Red Rose Service Awards, The Red Rose Performance Awards & BUCS Achievement Awards are announced on the night.
