It was a lovely evening at the Canterbury Sports awards, with plenty of the regions sporting, administrative and coaching talent up for recognition. I had been nominated in the sportsman of the year category and was up against some serious competition from numerous codes of sport. It was a nice surprise and a huge honour to be named as Canterbury’s sportsman of the year and to also take home the supreme award! I’m really looking forward to this upcoming season and hopefully ticking off a few more of my goals!
