Wales' brightest football stars celebrated
July 2009
Ten of Wales’ brightest football ‘stars’ were celebrated last night at a prestigious awards ceremony created by the organisation that pioneers the development of Welsh football on and off the field.
Committed to encouraging grassroots football participation, coaching and volunteering in Wales, the Welsh Football Trust honored its greatest achievers at an awards ceremony held at Cardiff’s Hilton Hotel on Thursday 16 July, in partnership with their community sponsors, McDonalds and organised by Fusion Sponsorship’s event division.
Former Welsh Footballer and McDonalds’ Head of Welsh Football, Ian Rush was present at the awards evening and was keen to praise the work of The Welsh Football Trust in supporting football in the community.
Rush said: “The Welsh Football Trust plays a massive part in ensuring football is accessible to all children and in the skill development of these youngsters. I recognise the importance of growing talent from the local clubs up, and am looking forward to continuing to work closely with the Trust in future initiatives.”
Victoria Ward, Managing Director, Fusion Sponsorship, commented: “The Welsh Football Trust annual awards dinner is a great occasion and brings together everyone involved in community football across Wales. We’ve been creating and organizing the awards now for six years, always trying to keep them original and entertaining.”
