NT SPORTS AWARDS

This year sailing had two people make it through to the finalists. Saturday night was a great celebration of all things sports in the NT and as a sport we were well represented both in nominations and attendance.

Kirsty Sheehy from Gove Boat Club made it to the final three for the Volunteer of the Year category. Whilst Alanna Field from Darwin Sailing Club took home the Coach of the Year award.  If you see either of them around be sure to congratulate them on their nominations and awards.
