The Paul Pearce Award for Disability Sport

St Albans City Youth Community Football Club came second in this catorgory with Special Olympics St Albans coming first.

Club Trustee Alan Moorhouse represented City Youth.

Nominated by Lesley Wray: “The club puts the children at the centre of everything it does. Everyone is welcome at our club, no matter their ability. The X factor is the team of volunteers, most of whom work tirelessly full time for the benefit of the young people in the area. No individual wants to be highlighted for his or her efforts because they do not do it for that reason. They are however, extremely proud of what the club does and what it stands for.”
