 Community Games volunteer, Nicola Lalor (Shinrone-Coolderry Community Games) will receive nationwide recognition next week for her dedication to sport, as she has been awarded the Offaly award for the 2021 Federation of Irish Sport Volunteers in Sport Awards, proudly supported by EBS. The awards will take place virtually on December 7th, 8th and 9th and will see Nicola, along with volunteers from across the country, honoured for their amazing dedication to volunteering across a variety of different sports. Nicola has dedicated 27 years to the Community Games in her area. She has introduced children from across the Shinrone and Coolderry areas to a host of different sports and activities that they can take part in other than the traditional sports. Throughout her time, she has ensured every single child has been offered equal opportunity to engage in the various sports and cultural activities with emphasis placed on the importance of sportsmanship, enjoyment, confidence, developing friendships and creating lasting memories. Nicola dedicates hours of her time into being a teacher, trainer, mentor, costumes and wardrobe organiser and - especially during the last 18 months - an IT expert, to ensure the Community Games experience is a fun and enjoyable one for all involved. The Volunteers in Sport Awards celebrate the contributions of the band of volunteers across the country who give their time to Irish sport and physical activity every year. This equates to approximately 37.3 million hours of volunteering across Ireland’s 13,000 registered sports clubs and associations and, according to Sport Ireland's 2021 'Researching the Value of Sport in Ireland' report, is worth an estimated €1.5bn to the exchequer. Throughout September and October members of the public, sports clubs and governing bodies were invited to nominate an individual whose contribution to sport and physical activity in Ireland has made a real difference to their community, club or county. The nominations and award recipients were selected by a judging panel consisting of 12 individuals drawn from sports administration, the volunteer community and media, and included former Director General of the GAA, Paraic Duffy, RTÉ broadcaster, Marie Crowe and CEO of Gaisce, Yvonne McKenna. In addition to the 32 county-level award winners, Amina Moustafa, a volunteer across many different sports including football, basketball and swimming, received the overall Outstanding Achievement Award for her incredible service to the promotion of sport amongst women of diverse ethnic backgrounds, as well as her continued support of Sport Against Racism Ireland (SARI). Máire Allen and Jacqueline McCormack have also received a Special Recognition Award for their amazing work with Roscommon Special Olympics Club. They have dedicated their time tirelessly over the last number of years and more recently, in the face of the challenging circumstances caused by Covid-19, did everything to ensure the club’s members remained fit and active throughout the various lockdowns. Pádraic Kearney (RIP) has been honoured with a Special Recognition Award for his commitment to Gaelic Games in Adare GAA Club (Limerick). Pádraic was incredibly committed to his community, with his volunteerism going far beyond sport. His untimely passing earlier this year has been felt by everyone in the club, especially the younger members, who Pádraic coached for many years. Commenting on the awards, Minister of State for Sport and the Gaeltacht, Jack Chambers, TD, said: “It is an honour for me to support this year’s Volunteers in Sport Awards and help recognise so many fantastic volunteers in our community. These awards have a special place in the sporting calendar as they recognise those who have given an incredible amount of time throughout the year who have ensured that sport can takes place in our communities, and they do so without the expectation of gratitude or reward. The amount of hard work and dedication that these volunteers give to sport in Ireland is quite truly astonishing and I am privileged to support both the volunteers and these awards. I would also like to thank the Federation of Irish Sport and EBS, and all who will help make these virtual ceremonies a memorable occasion for all.” Speaking about the awards, CEO of the Federation of Irish Sport, Mary O’Connor said: “Despite another very challenging year for sport, we have once again seen how important volunteering has been to communities across Ireland. We have an enormous amount of gratitude for the army of volunteers who have ensured that sport could take place in a safe and controlled manner. Whether it be on pitches, courts, tracks, pools or even community halls across the country, the volunteers are always there to make sure sport and physical activity continues to take place around Ireland. It gives me immense pride to be able to recognise so many of these volunteers at next week’s virtual Volunteers in Sport Awards and I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to all of this year’s recipients. I would like to also thank EBS for their continued support in bringing wider recognition of volunteers in sport in Ireland to life. I would also like to express my gratitude to Minister Jack Chambers who will be taking the time out of his schedule to attend our virtual ceremonies next week and helping us to champion and celebrate the recipients.” Managing Director of EBS, Paul Butler, commented: “EBS is delighted to partner with the Federation of Irish Sport once more to honour and recognise the everyday heroes around Ireland who make sure sport happens every day. EBS has been involved in local communities around Ireland for over 80 years and we are delighted to showcase the tremendous work these volunteers do for sport throughout their communities. These volunteers truly are the backbone of Irish sport, and we are proud to support them. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the recipients of the 2021 Volunteers in Sports Awards and thank them for all of the tireless work they do to ensure sport in Ireland continues to flourish.” The awards will be streamed live each evening from 7pm on the Federation of Irish Sport’s Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/federationofirishsport/ with the awards schedule listed below:

MC’s Anthony Fitzsimons and Kildare FM’s Killian Whelan along with guest commentators Marcus Lawler, Molly Scott and Sarah Quinn ensured that every child had a voice and whether they won, lost or drew they were all made feel like number 1.  Olympian Marcus Lawlwer with his original ID card from 2002 and his Tokyo Olympics card from 2020! Dreams do come true! John Curtin, Group Buying Director at Aldi Ireland, said; “We are delighted that Aldi Community Games were able to continue this year, despite the challenges that sporting events all around the world have faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The team at Community Games really rose to the challenges that they faced when arranging the games this year - allowing young people the opportunity to continue participating in sports and art all around the country in their local communities. We all know how important a strong sense of community is, and Community Games allows for this to continue, even in the most challenging of times.” Eleanor Farrell, Chief Commercial Officer of Bus Éireann commented; “Bus Éireann and Aldi Community Games are at the heart of communities across Ireland and we are proud to be the official travel partner of the Games for the second year. The National Track and Field Athletics Finals highlight the incredible talents of participants from across Ireland and we are delighted to be part of such an exciting event.” Fintan Phelan, Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council commented; “It is great to have the Aldi Community Games National Athletics Finals in Carlow in the top class facilities of IT Carlow. Community Games has a rich history in this county and to this day thousands of Children participate annually. I have fond memories of Community Games and participating in the National Finals in Mosney.” Gerry McGuinness, President of Aldi Community Games said; “Over the last few weeks at our Regional Athletics Finals we’ve been thrilled to see lots of smiling faces from both the young and young at heart! Volunteers and staff have worked long and hard to put everything in place to be able to provide these events in a safe manner, and it’s been fantastic that we get to see everyone again after over a year. We’re grateful to our title sponsors Aldi Ireland and our Official Travel Partners Bus Éireann and Transport for Ireland for helping us bring back the Games to Communities all over Ireland!
