Team Achievement of the Year:

What a diverse category - there were numerous nominations and so just to reach the final three was some achievement – and all three deserve their magnificent trophies!





 
Fishguard & Goodwick Ladies Hockey Team – Winners

Fishguard and Goodwick Ladies Hockey Team have had an outstanding 2024/25 season. Dominating the South Wales Women’s Hockey League, they won 15 of 16 games, achieving promotion to Division 3 with an impressive 80 goals scored and just 15 conceded. Their cup success was equally remarkable, capturing the National Challenge Cup for a second consecutive year with a dramatic last-minute winning goal against Bridgend, and finishing as runners-up in the League Cup—their only defeat all season. Their exceptional skill, resilience, and consistency across league and cup competitions reflect a team of extraordinary talent and dedication.
 





 
East Williamson Short Mat Bowls – Runners-Up
 
With members aged 59 to 83, the team trains and competes twice weekly year-round, demonstrating exceptional commitment. Their dedication has secured the South Pembrokeshire League title for a third consecutive year. Coaching has enabled a player with only four years’ experience to join the Welsh Ladies Short Mat Bowls squad for the British Isles Championships, while five team members were selected for the Pembrokeshire County squad. The club actively promotes the sport locally, engages on social media, and inspires juniors, attracting three new young players this year.
 




 

 
Pembrokeshire Ladies Hockey Club – First Team – Runners-Up
 
This year the team earned promotion to Premier 1 of the South Wales Hockey League—a remarkable feat for a small club competing against larger teams and universities. They also secured the Ladies Pembrokeshire Cup, demonstrating their dominance locally. The players’ dedication is exceptional, travelling regularly to Cardiff for challenging away fixtures while maintaining high standards of performance. Their skill, teamwork, and resilience on the field reflect both talent and commitment, making PHC Ladies first team a shining example of excellence in women’s hockey.






 

The School Award:

 
School Award to the Federation of Tavernspite and Templeton Schools - Winners
 
Every person in this room will know and understand the importance of engaging pupils in a love of sport and physical activity at a young age.
The federation is recognised for its groundbreaking innovation as the first Parkrun School in the UK, having developed a Parkrun curriculum with Parkrun UK.
The Federation promotes Parkrun as a brilliant way of helping people to get active, meet friends and enjoy being outside in a beautiful setting, while also promoting strong leadership development through the Parkrun Ambassador scheme.
The Federation has also demonstrated strong inclusion ethos and practices to ensure all pupils get the same opportunities to experience and enjoy a range of sports, which includes adapted PE equipment, wheelchair races, and Sport Pembrokeshire collaboration and there is also outstanding support for disadvantaged learners, highlighted by Estyn as best practice.
Within the schools there is an excellent mental health and wellbeing programme (TEaM), which is data-driven, pupil-led, and ensures that emotional and mental health remains a priority, and running through it all is a visible and sustainable culture of sport and wellbeing within the schools.

 

 

 The Chair’s Special Award

 

Presented by Pembrokeshire County Council Chair, Councillor Maureen Bowen.
The Award went to ‘Cruising Free’ from Neyland Rowing Club, a quartet who have completed one of the world's greatest challenges – rowing the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
Demonstrating extraordinary courage, endurance, and unity, Sophie Pierce, Janine Williams, Miyah Periam, and Polly Zipperlan completed the gruelling 3,200-mile row between Lanzarote and Antigua, raising money for cystic fibrosis and Paul Sartori in the process-.
At 32, Sophie Pierce, who lives with cystic fibrosis, became the first person with the condition ever to row an ocean, while 70-year-old Janine Williams became the oldest woman in history to complete the feat.
Together with Polly and Miyah they proved that teamwork and perseverance can conquer any obstacle.
