Wandsworth Council’s sport and leisure spokesman, Cllr Jonathan Cook, said, “Sports bring people together, keeps us healthy and teach our young people valuable lessons about discipline, team work and rising to a challenge. These awards are about recognising local people who have made a special contribution to this important part of community life here in Wandsworth."
