Blaenau Gwent Council has honoured Cymric Netball Club with a special recognition certificate for their outstanding commitment to equality and inclusion within the community.
Presiding Member and Equality Champion, Councillor Chris Smith, visited a training session this week to present the team with their award and took the opportunity to net a few balls himself!
The award celebrates the club’s dedication to creating a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment for all — both on and off the court. Cymric Netball Club has consistently demonstrated how sport can be a powerful force for bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and celebrating diversity.
Councillor Smith praised the club’s impact, saying:
“Cymric Netball Clwb is a shining example of how sport can unite us. Their commitment to inclusion and community spirit reflects the very best of Blaenau Gwent. It’s an honour to recognise their work.”
The evening was a celebration of values that matter deeply to Blaenau Gwent — equality, inclusion, and community. Congratulations to Cymric Netball Club on this well-deserved honour.
