Barrow’s Georgia Stanway has been named Cumbria’s Sports Personality of the Year for the second year running.

The 24-year-old picked up the prestigious Sports Personality of the Year award at this year’s Cumbria Sports Awards after adoring our screens this Summer as the whole nation watched as she helped the Lionesses to the final of the World Cup.

As a key member of the England squad for several years, she played every game during the 2023 World Cup.

Currently playing for German side, Bayern Munich, where she played a full match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Earlier this year, she was nominated for the Female Ballon D’or, the highest individual accolade in world football.

Richard Johnston, Chair of Cumbria Sports Awards Judging Panel said: “In this, the forty-fourth year of the Cumbria Sports Awards the judging panel are once again overwhelmed by the number and quality of nominations.

“Every year, we hear of new names and their outstanding achievements, and the awards provide an opportunity to showcase the incredible range of great sporting talent in the county.

“It’s never an easy task deciding on the winners.“We would like to congratulate not only our incredible winners but all of this year’s nominees.

“As always, there was some fierce competition with so many great nominations, and we had well over 100 separate individuals and teams put forward.

“Many of the categories were almost impossible to judge with so many great nominations.

“I’d like to thank our Judging Panel for their time, and everyone who took the time to submit a nomination.”

The awards winners, have all been announced over the course of this week on BBC Radio Cumbria Mike Zeller at Breakfast and on social media.
