Raiders wins Dacorum Community Sports Club of the Year 2019

Raiders takes the community club prize at Dacorum Sports Awards… Efforts of Steve McHugh and Mary Pacitti also recognised.

Dacorum recognised the borough’s most inspirational community sports clubs and volunteers at Everyone Active’s Dacorum Sports Awards at Pendley Manor in July. Former hurdler and Olympic silver medallist Colin Jackson hosted the winners’ ceremony.

Berkhamsted Raiders was awarded Community Sports Club of the Year 2019 for the work that its volunteers have done in encouraging participation in sport and its focus on the Berkhamsted and Northchurch community. Andy Grindrod, Raiders Trustee, accepted the award from Colin Jackson.

Raiders Head of Coaching, Steve McHugh, was runner up in the Male Community Coach of the Year. Mary Pacitti also made the shortlist for Unsung Hero, but was pipped at the post by Kevin Clarke from Berkhamsted Bowls Club.
