THE finalists for the 2024 Sport Pembrokeshire Awards have been announced.
In total, 252 nominations were received and the judging panel has now named 39 finalists.
Matt Freeman, manager of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “Every year it gets harder to narrow the nominations down to three finalists and once again the quality of the nominees was enormously high.”
All the finalists will be invited to a grand presentation ceremony at Folly Farm on Friday, 29 November where the winners will be announced.
The awards are organised by Sport Pembrokeshire, the county council’s sport development team. They are sponsored by Sport Pembrokeshire, Valero, Folly Farm and Pure West Radio.
