Sport Waikato CEO Matthew Cooper says he is impressed with the quality of nominees from a wide variety of sports nominated this year.
 
 “It’s so encouraging to see the range of sporting codes represented in the nominations with everything from clay target shooting to motor sport, and basketball to woodchopping. Thanks to all those who took the time to nominate - the sporting talent in our region is inspiring and I am really looking forward to our awards evening and celebrating our district’s success,” Cooper said.
