Over a Hundred Young Athletes Award GO GOLD Funding

107 of our most talented young athletes across 24 sports, including 4 disabled athletes, have been awarded funding through the 2012/13 Leicester-Shire & Rutland GO GOLD Talented Athlete Fund.

Athletes from Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Leicester City, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston have been awarded the funding to support them financially with competition entry fees, transport costs and high quality equipment to ensure they achieve the highest possible standards in their sport. Tomorrow (Thursday 28th February) a second Leicester-Shire & Rutland GO GOLD Talented Athlete Presentation evening will see the young athletes will be attending County Hall, hosted by the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council. A previous presentation evening took place on Monday February 18th. The aim of GO GOLD is to support talented young athletes in full-time education who are currently performing at regional or above in their sport, including those athletes who are being recognised by their National Governing Bodies as being our future Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth athletes and potential medal winners.
