2010 Dacorum Sports Awards

Congratulations to 12 year old Robert Poth from Hemel Ski Race Club as he was announced Runner Up for the "Maureen Flint Rising Star" Award at the recent 2010 DACORUM SPORTS AWARDS.

Robert, due to his phenomenal ski racing achievements throughout the 2010 winter season racing Nationally and Internationally had been shortlisted to one of three athletes nominated in this overwhelming category. The winner was announced on the night, at a presentation ceremony at Sportspace, Berkhamstead which he attended with his Mum, Dad, Brother Daniel and his very proud Grandma! This was such a surprise for Robert and good news for snow sports that ski racing is acknowledged. Well Done Robert!
