Something to shout about: Students soar at Sports Awards

Capital City College students and staff celebrate sporting achievements at the end-of-year sports awards.

On 13 June, around 100 students and 15 staff members attended the Capital City College (CCC) end-of-year Sports Awards at the Enfield centre to highlight the sporting commitment and achievement of students across the college.

Awards were presented by each of CCC’s Sports Academies and included accolades for managers and coaches, Player of the Year, the Players’ Player and Most Improved Player.

The Football Academy presented three Top Goal Scorer awards as well as two Golden Glove awards. There was also a presentation for two of the college’s football teams in recognition of their league wins. The Netball Academy handed out awards for Best Shooter and Most Valuable Player.

Social media star Mr Greedy attended the event and presented a number of awards before delivering a speech to students. The event gave staff and students the chance to reflect on the teamwork, determination and success of team members across a variety of sporting activities and the Sport Awards ceremony was clearly enjoyed by those involved.

William Lami Lora, a Level 3 Sports student, said: “I had a great time at the football awards ceremony celebrating our team’s hard work and achievements – made me feel proud to be part of something special.”

Scott Gordon, a Level 3 Sports student, said: “The awards night was a wonderful celebration that wrapped up a very good season. It was a well-prepared ceremony that highlighted all the work and effort put into the season and was a great experience to witness everyone’s success”

Luke Dixon, a Level 3 Sports student, said: “The awards night was a wonderful event – very well set up and professional where we watched everyone’s success throughout the season which was a great way to come together as a college as one.” 

Marvin Walker, Specialist SIA Trainer and football coach at CCC, said: “It was a great evening, a real chance to pause and celebrate what the students have achieved this year. Having the entire sports academy in one space doesn’t happen often, so it gave the night a real sense of unity. Having Mr Greedy, someone the students really recognise and connect with, there to present some of the awards made it extra special for them.”

Robert Murphy, Sports Development Manager at CCC, said: “It was fantastic to see so many of our learners at the awards ceremony. Each and every one of them has worked incredibly hard this year, and it was truly rewarding to see their efforts recognised and honoured. Every year, our academies continue to grow along with the successes of our learners. We’re already looking forward to next season with great enthusiasm and are confident in what we can achieve together.”
