The winners have been announced for the third annual Sports Awards, which included the wider district area for the first time.
The night, organised by Valley Leisure and held at the Andover Leisure Centre, started with a fantastic display from the Southern Jacobites Pipe and Drum Band before the nominees were called to the stage and the winners announced by Andy Green from The Breeze.
Awards were given in categories including outstanding personal achievement, coach of the year and junior and senior team awards.
Kevin Paterson, chief executive of Valley Leisure, said: “There is an overwhelming amount of talent in Andover, and we are very proud to be able to celebrate that.
“As always, it is very difficult to pick winners as the competition is so great in each category.”
