TWO West Somerset volunteers were winners at last Friday’s annual Somerset Sports Awards.

Organised by Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership (SASP), the awards celebrate the achievements and successes of inspirational volunteers, coaches, athletes and clubs from across the county.

The Get Somerset Active Award went to Jill Martin, who runs the Red Park Equestrian Centre in Williton.

Jill set up a youth club at her stables to provide a safe and comfortable environment for vulnerable young females to be active, but not necessarily through riding horses.

The Young Volunteer of the Year winner was Abigail Sweetland of Minehead Barbarians Rugby Club.

After being the assistant coach last year, 17-year-old Abi has taken on the role of head coach of the under 8s rugby team this year, and also manages a small team of volunteer coaches and helps with their Young Rugby Ambassador volunteering.
