DLL’s Active Communities Awards is an annual event recognising members of the community for their work. This year’s ceremony takes place at Rhyl Pavilion on 13th November and will be hosted by BBC sports presenter Jason Mohammad.

The other nominees for the award are Ruthin Tristars and Flying High Trampoline Club. 

Coach and founder Mike Hayes said: "I would like to thank DLL and state how proud we are that our work is being recognised at county level.  

"It’s an honour to just be shortlisted amongst such outstanding clubs and a fitting reward for all our volunteers and coaches’ efforts and consistency over the last few years."
