‘COMMITTED’ Pat Ogier has been nominated for the Sports Volunteer of the Year award, sponsored by Sure.

James Falla nominated him for going above and beyond in his voluntary position.

‘Pat has been a legend with Guernsey Basketball, often filling in where no one else wants to be.’ 

‘His work driving the growth of the Future Stars programme has been immense and has secured the future of Guernsey basketball for some years to come,’ he said.

‘In my limited experience in basketball, Pat’s commitment to the sport knows no bounds.

‘For the first few years I was supporting my son’s development in the sport, Pat was everywhere... at Future Stars, the development arm of the sport, where he was instrumental in getting things up and running, coaching island squads at age groups and women’s level, and organising and motivating heavily behind the scenes.

‘All, seemingly, for no reward for himself, apart from seeing others do better.

‘While Pat has a stake in Guernsey basketball, I believe the sport is in safe hands.’
