The Sportsperson of the Year dinner is on at the Forbes Bowling Club, and Australian rugby union representative Alana Thomas is coming back to Forbes for the occasion.

Honours announced on the night include the Junior and Senior Sportsperson, All Rounder, Coach/Trainer, Referee/Umpire/Official, Administrator, Team and of course the Forbes Sportsperson of the Year and Runner Up.

The overall winner of the Central West Credit Union Monthly Achievers Award will also be announced along with the President’s Award, Phillip Adams Encouragement Award, Merit Awards, School and Special Sports Awards and the Forbes Netball Association Terry Wade Award.

​The SOYA Awards would not be possible without the generous support of our local businesses, allowing Forbes to be one of the last country towns in New South Wales who host a separate sporting awards ceremony.
