The community’s top athletes will gather in north London on Sunday night for the bi-annual Maccabi GB Sports Awards and gala.
Co-hosted by 2006 senior winner, Jo Ankier, television presenter Graham Miller and BBC Radio 5’s Rob Nothman, the top junior and senior sporting talents will be announced at the event, which is organised in partnership with UJIA. Wales Under 21 and Bristol Rovers star Joe Jacobson, Maccabi Herzliya’s Josh Kennet and blind cricketer Daniel Field are among the candidates for the main award.
Table tennis starlet Zak Zilesnik, triathlete Lara Nyman, karate kid Jenna Shilston and golfer Mark Kuber are on the junior shortlist.
Daniel Morris, Maccabi’s major events and organising manager, said: “Our community’s top athletes don’t receive much acknowledgement for their efforts which makes our award ceremony unique and all that more important.
