Lara Strikes Gold At Telegraph Sports Awards

Derby County Ladies academy player, Lara Shaw scooped the prestigious Junior Sportsperson of the Year Award at the Derby Telegraph Annual sports award. Lara, aged 12 also represents Derbyshire at cricket, being part of the team that recently won the British U12 Championships. According to Academy Director, Dave Cholerton the award represents further evidence that the club is gaining recognition for its investment in youth

" Derby County's academy is recognised within the game as one of the strongest in the Premier League and that has clearly played a part in football based awards that we have been shortlisted for or won. What is now happening is that the club is being recognised more widely firstly with the Derby City Council award back in October and now this. These awards are different in that you are up against clubs and sportspersons from all forms of sports.

The club is hugely proud of Lara and we are hopeful that one day she will be pulling on a Derby County first team shirt in the Women's Super League "
