First Set of Finalists Announced for the 2021 Ladbrokes Northwest Football Awards
The Ladbrokes Northwest Football Awards Judging Panel met last week and had the difficult task of picking the finalists in the non-player of the year categories for this yearβs awards
Now in its 14th year, the winners of the Ladbrokes Northwest Football Awards (NWFA) 2021 will be announced on Monday, 22nd November 2021 at The Point, Emirates Old Trafford, at a Gala Awardsβ Ceremony hosted by broadcaster, Dan Walker, where the Northwest regionβs footballing elite will gather, paying tribute to those from both on and off the pitch, who have excelled in the 2020/21 season.
The Ladbrokes NWFA is honoured to support the Darby Rimmer Foundation and the Offside Trust β both important causes close to the regionβs heart.
Laura Wolfe of the Ladbrokes Northwest Football Awards said, βWe received a record number of entries this year. The quality of submissions from the clubs and organisations was so impressive and the panel had some seriously healthy debate over the course of the judging process. It looks like we will have a brilliant night when the winners are announced on Monday, 22nd November, at the Awardsβ Dinner, hosted by broadcaster, Dan Walker (assuming he hasnβt danced his way to the Strictly Come Dancing Final by then!).
