Newport AC’s Sharlene Mawdsley was named the winner following her hugely successful campaign at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.

The Tipperary woman won a gold medal in the mixed 4x400m event, a silver in the women’s 4x400m event whilst also reaching the individual 400m final.

She joins last month’s winners in the Tipperary minor & U20 hurling teams who will also be commemorated at the annual ceremony at the Talbot Hotel in Clonmel, with each winner receiving a custom made piece from John Quirke Jewellers.

Voting is now open for the month of July so send your nominations to [email protected].
