Hawks win Sussex gong!

Last month we brought you the news that Whitehawk had been shortlisted for honours in the prestigious Sussex Sports Awards, and last night, at the Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel, the Hawks lifted the trophy, winning 'Club of the Year' in recognition of their community projects.

The Sussex Sports Awards is one of the most prestigious evenings in the Sussex sporting calendar, celebrating Sussex sport, physical activity and the phenomenal heroines and heroes who have contributed at all levels, across all walks of life.

When the club were nominated, Head of Commercial and partner in the Hawks in the Community project, Kevin Miller, said:

“To be shortlisted for this prestigious award is phenomenal, and a testament to the incredible time and effort that so many people have given to create some incredible moments over the past year. We are part of an amazing community, and as a grassroots football club we have a duty to do what we can to help and inspire our region. This nomination is a recognition that we’re on the right track.”

We'll add some reaction from the club to their victory once we have it, but for now, many congratulations!
