High Peak Mayor David Lomax presented their trophies at a packed awards ceremony at Glossop Rugby Club. Haley will now be short-listed for the Derbyshire Sports Awards in November. 16 year old Zakh Poots has completed more than 100 hours volunteering for the High Peak Village Games Team. The judges said: “At 16 years old Zahk is an excellent role model for participants and other young leaders. He helps coach at football sessions, holiday courses and mixed family sessions and works hard to ensure that every session is fun and safe for all. He has been highlighted as a ‘brilliant leader’ and was also successful in achieving a Derbyshire Young Achiever Award in December 2010.” Awards ceremony organiser Emma Champion who is Glossop Community Sports Development Officer said: “It was great to see the best of High Peak Sports performers, clubs and coaches being recognised for their achievements at the pinnacle event of the year in the district.” Photos and more information can be found at www.communitysportstrust |

You may have seen in the news lately how women who drink within the recommended limits are still putting their health at risk. It said new research shows that less than one small glass of wine a day increases the risk of breast cancer! It’s not only the drink dependant who need be concerned.
