Nominations now open for annual Community Awards

The search for Derbyshire’s grassroots heroes has begun as the FA and McDonald’s have announced that nominations for the annual FA Community Awards are now open.

The awards aim to recognise and reward grassroots clubs, coaches and volunteers across the country who keep the national game alive.

Nominees can be from any walk of life and Derbyshire County FA is calling on locals to nominate their unsung hero who has gone above and beyond in the name of football.
