Harlow Sports Awards evening
The first ever Harlow Sports Awards took place at a packed
Harlow Playhouse on 8th October 2008, where members of Harlow’s
sporting community gathered to find out who was going to win in
each award category.
Former captain of the England and Essex cricket teams, Graham
Gooch OBE hosted the awards. The evening proved to be a
tremendous success as Harlow Council, sportessex, activeharlow and
The Harlow Herald newspaper teamed up to recognise the sporting
contributions of Harlow's leading sports people and
orgainisations.
