It was a privilege recently to have the opportunity to induct the latest Northland Legends of Sport recipients into Northland's version of a Sports Hall of Fame.
The Northland Legends of Sport concept was established by Sport Northland in 2004 to honour and remember Northland's most outstanding sportspeople, coaches, referees and administrators. Every year since then we have announced the new inductees at the Northland Sports Awards function, but given the change in format of these awards recently, Sport Northland wanted to recognise each new inductee within their own sport in the most appropriate way.
Outdoor bowler Ann Muir and rugby player Bevan Holmes were announced as Legends earlier this year as part of the Northland Sports Awards, and some recent opportunities arose to formally induct each of them in front of their respective sporting peers.
