Stuart Wade, Sports Development Manager, said: “The Athletic Union Awards Dinner celebrates the season of sport here at The University of Liverpool, and Anfield Stadium is a great venue for us to honour our talented and successful teams and individuals."

"Once again, the night delivered great joy and some disappointment for clubs which encapsulates the highs and lows of sport. Our awards also capture our most caring of students via our Hannah Daibell Award. It is truly a wonderful night and had 510 students and guests present including 48 of our 53 clubs.  Undoubtedly a highlight of the sporting year.”
