Belfast Ultimate Awards 2009: Nominations are open

Nominations are now open for the BU & GSH Awards 2009. The BU Awards are run each year as a way to recognise personal and group achievements. The GSH Awards take a more light hearted approach, as a way to look back at all those memorable moments and contributions (intentional or otherwise) throughout the year.

To nominate a player for an award, send an email to belfastultimate@googlemail.com, stating the category, the player's name, and a short description of why you are nominating that person. The categories are listed below.
