"There are lots of young people participating and achieving in sport across the County and it will be a pleasure to welcome some of the young players to County Hall to recoginse their achievements and to acknowledge the contribution made to sport by volunteers.

“It will also be of interest to hear how two major school sports organisations are working hard to further develop and ensure opportunities are available for all young people."
