Devon Sports Awards - David King 'Young Volunteer of the Year' Finalist |
David has been a considerable help to both Lipson Community College and Lipson Lions over the past 5 years as a hockey umpire. He is now working towards his Level 1 qualification and is seen as 'an incredible talent' by his umpiring mentors from England Hockey. In addition to the school and club work that David does, he was also asked to umpire the County Finals this year for Devon U16's. Wendy Woodstock helped me write the application and we also asked Rob Logan, his Umpire Mentor and Chairman of Lipson Lions Hockey Club, to also submit an application.
David was shortlisted from a very large group as a finalist and was invited to the Awards Evening which took place on the evening of Thursday 1st April at Paignton Zoo. Caroline Atkins (England Cricketer) presented the Awards. Unfortunately David did not win but was 'Highly Commended'.
