THERE are just three days left for people within Bucks to nominate their local sporting heroes to receive a special thank you.

The annual Bucks & MK Sport Awards recognises and celebrates the outstanding contribution of those who make sport happen across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.

Nominations are open until 5pm Monday and are accepted across nine award categories, from club of the year, and sports project of the year to school and young leader of the year.

Shortlisted nominees will get to attend a glittering awards evening in November.

This year, the ninth annual awards will return to the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury, with a fantastic night of celebration, including celebrity comperes, a showcase of local talent, award presentations and an after party.
