IAN Rose won the Sports Personality of the Year title at the Wycombe and Marlow Area Sports Council Awards last week with Wycombe Phoenix Harriers winning the Club of the Year crown.
Rose, of Micklefield Judo Club, also won the Male with Disability prize as he and Phoenix Harriers dominated the awards evening at High Wycombe Rugby Club.
The athletics club also picked up two more awards on the night.
Mark Booth won the Boys 12-15 award after a magnificent year in which he became the Bucks U15 1,500metres champion and junior boys county cross-country champion.
He also won all three of his matches in the Chiltern Cross-Country league second division having won all three of his races and won silver at Berks, Bucks and Oxon Championships.
The Phoenix Harriers women's team also carried off the Team of the Year prize after a year in which they won all five of their league matches to ensure promotion by a massive margin. They clocked up 904.5 points while the second-placed team was way behind on 730 points.
But while Rose and the Phoenix club dominated, there were plenty of other award winners honoured on the night.
Netballer Jade Forbes-Wattley won the girls 12-15 award following her call-up to the England Netball Talent One squad. That capped a marvellous year for the player who was selected for the South Bucks U16 squad in June despite being only 13 at the time.
Marlow Canoe Club member Alan Ward was also honoured.
The freestyle kayaker won bronze at the European Championships in Spain and also won the U18 Peak Challenge in Wales. He also finished third in the U18 Eurocup despite only being able to compete in two of the three events because of school commitments.
Badminton ace Jenny Crump landed the girls 15-18 award after a stunning year in which she was a member of the Wycombe High School team which won the top national schools event. She was also a member of the Bucks team which finished third in the National Team Challenge event. She also won the U15 Oxfordshire Open.
Swimmer Alex Vine won the male over 18 award after his first year in senior competition ended with him being ranked in the top ten in Great Britain in three events as he sets his sights on the Commonwealth Games.
But the awards night was not just about the youngsters.
Seventy-one year old sporting all-rounder John Seymour was another winner at the end of a record-breaking year for him in which he broke Amersham Cricket Club's record of taking 1,166 wickets.
Not content with that, he also starred in athletics. As a veteran he won the British 400m title and was part of the British 4x400m squad which won silver at the World Masters Championships.
Georgina Callingham was another star on the night as she won the Female with a Disability category.
The Horizon Sports Club and Wycombe District Swimming Club member has starred in two sports.
She came second in the British Wheelchair Sports Foundation Championship air rifle competition and was invited onto the GB Junior Air Rifle Squad for able-bodied athletes as well.
She also qualified for the Disability Sports England National Junior Swimming Championships where she won gold. She also won six swimming medals at the National Junior Games and has qualified for the cerebral palsy national championships.
The Debbie Beale Trophy for Endeavour went to cyclist Simon Jackson who competed in the arduous Etape Du Tour last year where he excelled. He finished the 150-mile race, which takes in nine mountain climbs, in seven hours, 25 minutes and 37 seconds.
The youngest award winner was nine-year-old Jordan Haughey. The Micklefield Judo Club member finished his first year in competitive action with an array of medals including gold at the Red Belt Invitation in Sussex and silver at the Bucks Red Belt Championship.
