Leicestershire Rugby Union wanted to recognise the hard work that volunteers continually put in to ensure that all our county rugby clubs keep on running with an award ceremony for volunteers nominated by their clubs.

Helen Wrighten, the CB Volunteer Co-ordinator organised for the nominees to have a private sit down hot buffet, complimentary drinks and presentation in the Crumbie Lounge ahead of the County Cup finals at Welford Road.

The following volunteers received an engraved hipflask or crystal goblet in recognition of all the hard work they do:

Adele Walker – Sileby Town RFC
Andrew Forsythe – Referees Society
Kerrel Willis – Referees Society
Martin Lester – Coalville RFC
Mike White – Lutterworth RFC
Nick Morton – Market Bosworth RFC
Norman White – Coalville RFC
Paul Dickens – Oakham RFC
Paul Elms – Oakham RFC
Pete Kiddie – Lutterworth RFC
Tim Walker – Sileby Town RFC
Steve Dumford – Market Bosworth RFC

Thank you to volunteers from around the county. We could not do it without you!
