South Somerset Sport Awards 2009

Over 150 sports people and their families filled Haynes International Motor Museum, Sparkford for the 3rd South Somerset Sport Awards.

The awards took place on 26th November 2009 and provided the opportunity to recognise and reward the valuable contribution made by coaches, volunteers and performers across South Somerset. The celebration of our local sporting heroes was once again sponsored by AgustaWestland.

British Open Champions, Gryphon West Gym Club – Men's 4 treated the crowd to an impressive performance before Mid West Radio DJ Steve Carpenter introduced our Special Guest Nigel Redman.

Special guest – Nigel Redman

Nigel Redman : in actionWe were delighted to welcome Nigel Redman as our special guest for the evening.

Nigel started his playing career with Weston-Super-Mare and after three seasons joined Bath RFC in 1983. During his 16 years with the Bath club he won 10 National Cups, 6 league titles and in 1998 became the first English winners of the European Cup.

In 1984 aged 20, Nigel won the first of his 20 caps for England in an international career that spanned over 13 years. During that time Nigel played in several overseas tours and in two World Cup tournaments reaching the final in 1991 only to lose against Australia.

In 1997 Nigel toured South Africa with the British and Irish Lions where he captained the team on two occasions. The Lions blew the then World Champions away winning the first two test matches and the series 2 – 1.

Since joining the Rugby Football Union in 2003 as a National Academy Coach, Nigel has coached England at U19, U20 and U21. During his time at the Rugby Union Nigel has helped in the development of some of England's finest young rugby players as well as leading English teams to two grand slams and is the only English coach to have medalled at two junior world championships. Nigel has just started the role of Elite Coach Development Manager with the Rugby Football Union.
