Excited about the IOM Sports Awards tomorrow night, with sailing nominated in both the Coaches category and RS Tera World Champion Greg Kelly nominated in the Under 21 Sportsman of the Year.
Fingers crossed for Greg, he really has had superb year. The fourteen year old started the season with a fourth at the RS Tera Nationals. He went on to win the RS Tera World Championship with a race to spare and completed the season with a win at the Inlands as well. His achievements were recognised by the RYA and in January he was presented with the RYA North-West Regional Sailor of the Year Award.
A team of us attended the Awards in 2010, when James Kelly was RS Tera World Champion, it was a really inspiring evening and a great celebration of amazing success stories in Manx sport. Needless to say I’m really looking forward to it…
