A special ceremony was held on Saturday afternoon, with Member for Cootamundra, the Hon. Katrina Hodgkinson MP presenting Grace and Greg their awards.
“You’ve really taken the bull by the horns Grace and have helped a generation learn to swim.
“I don’t know how many lives you've probably saved by doing this.”
“Greg thank you for keeping Western Regional Cricket going, I know how hard you work in cricket and everyone says you are the biggest champion and the hardest working when it comes to coaching and to encouraging people to get involved in cricket,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
Both Grace and Greg received a $250 voucher to go towards their sports thanks to Sports and Recreation NSW.
