SPORTSMEN and women from across Worcestershire and Herefordshire are vying to secure votes for a prestigious honour.

Nominations are currently being taken for the 2012 Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire awards, to be held at Worcester Warriors’ Sixways Stadium on Wednesday, November 14.

Categories include male and female senior and junior sports person of the year, sports personality of the year and coach and club of the year.
