Nominations are now open for the Rose Paterson Community Sportswoman Award.
The award will be presented at the 2023 Grand National and was launched by Aintree Racecourse in partnership with BBC Radio Merseyside in memory of Aintree's late chairman Rose Paterson, who died in 2020. The accolade seeks to recognise a woman or girl from Merseyside who is making a difference to grassroots community sport, either through participation or support.
The inaugural Rose Paterson Community Sportswoman Award winner was Bridget Griffin, who is one of the founders of Park Palace Ponies. Nominations for the award can be made by the public, with a shortlist of five nominees set to be announced on BBC Radio Merseyside on Monday, April 3.
