2022 Marsden Sports Awards
We celebrated the best of Marsden's sporting moments at our 2022 Sports Awards on Thursday evening, honouring the achievements of an amazing group of athletes and supporters.
Our champion Underwater Hockey Team scooped the pool, winning Team of the Year, Coach of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. NZ Champion swimmer Molly Player, won Sportsperson of the Year, for her incredible work ethic, talent, and dogged determination that have helped her reap the rewards.
Team of the Year - Underwater Hockey
Coach of the Year Abigail Burdon and Volunteer of the Year Natasha Kenyon
2022 Sportsperson of the Year Molly Player
Guest speaker, sports journalist Kate Wells, shared her high-performance sports journey, culminating in a career behind the microphone as opposed to one on centre stage. We heard about the trials and tribulations of chasing one’s dreams and the resilience required when not everything goes to plan. The highs and lows of sport prepare a young person for the inevitable bumps in life’s journey.
