Sports awards 2021
Cambridge Celebrates the Second Year of Sports Award Winners!
As in 2020, the award winners of each category were published over the course of a week via the Sports Service social media platforms and website.
Nominations were received during April for five award categories. The categories were revised to reflect what has been a challenging and disrupted year for University sport. It is hoped that 2022 will see the return of the original seven award categories.
A panel of Senior University representatives was formed to select the winners of the awards, with a high quality of nominations and well-deserving winners across every category.
