In a video recorded this week, last year’s Senior Sportsperson of the Year Archie Graham encouraged residents to submit nominations for the 2018 awards.
The Ipswich tennis ace is the world’s highest ranked player with an intellectual disability and in 2017 became the first person to win three consecutive INAS World Tennis Championships. Continuing to improve his performance in mainstream tournaments remains a focus for Archie.
