Ware ready to reveal the shortlisted candidates for this year’s Bristol Post Sports Awards.
We had a fantastic number of entries this year, which, of course, made it even tougher for the judging panel, made up of representatives from the Bristol Post and category sponsors.
We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to enter an individual or team into the awards and sorry to all those who have not made a shortlist. The standard and number of entries certainly made it difficult for the judges.
This year’s Bristol Post Sports Awards are to be held at Bristol City’s Ashton Gate stadium on Thursday, November 14, and we will be looking at the shortlisted candidates in greater detail in the coming weeks in the Bristol Post.
