Isle Of Wight Sports Awards Hosts Announced

Friday, 23 February 2024 10:45

The hosts have been announced for this year’s Isle of Wight Sports Awards, to be held at Medina Theatre next month.

Veteran Island journalist Lucy Morgan has presented the awards over the last few years alongside Cowes-based Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson.

But this year, with Shirley unavailable, Lucy will be joined by ITN political correspondent and news presenter Romilly Weeks.

Romilly has strong Island connections and grew up taking advantage of the sporting opportunities on the Isle of Wight.

She learned to swim at West Wight pool, to ride with the Isle of Wight Pony Club and to sail in Yarmouth.

Romilly said:

“The swimming instruction was so good that I managed to front crawl my way across the Solent a few years ago.

“My children, nephews and nieces were all taught by the legendary Shirley Miles at West Wight too.

“My daughter now competes on the Vectis Riding Club team and my son plays tennis in Ryde whenever he can.“

Lucy stated:

“It is beyond a pleasure to be able to announce the names of the nominees and winners of the Isle of Wight Sports Awards.

“The amount of talent in the room is always incredible."

Claire Beasley, chair of the IW Sports Foundation, which organises the awards, added:

“We are looking forward to a tremendous evening on March 21 and to have these fabulous professionals hosting the event makes it even more special.”
