Former Tottenham ace Jamie O’Hara leads search for grassroots hero
Thanks to 123 Reg, here at talkSPORT we’re looking to celebrate your local sporting hero.
It’s been a difficult time for many grassroots teams, from football and rugby to swimming and cycling, and 123 Reg and talkSPORT are looking to help by offering one club £12,300, plus a smart new website to really get things moving.
We’ll also be giving away £500 to two runners up clubs as well.
For your chance to win big for your sports club, you need to fill in the below information, and explain who is your community champion you think deserves celebrating. They’re the individuals who are essential to the running of your club; the organisers and the meticulous planners, the enthusiastic fundraisers and essential support crew, and will be rewarded with the honour of having that donation made, thanks to all their work!
During talkSPORT Breakfast, we’ll then bring to air a selection of our lucky nominees and finalists, to announce our ultimate winner and Grassroots Hero, and which team will be awarded the £12,300 to help go towards the running costs of the club.
That’s thanks to 123 Reg – Reach your business potential with the domain and website experts. The simplest way to succeed online. You can create a website for your business in less time than it takes to make a cup of tea!
