ENFIELD-BASED England netball official Lindsay Sartori picked up a prestigious award at the Balfour Beatty London Youth Games Hall of Fame & Awards evening.

The star-studded event saw some of the UK’s most successful sportsmen and sportswomen inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Sartori was the director of the netball competition at the London Youth Games, which was rated as the best-organised competition among 30 sports by team managers.

After collecting her award, Sartori said: “I feel very honoured and very surprised. I receive it because of all the many volunteers who helped in my sport and the other sports.

“It feels good and I think it’s excellent that volunteers are recognised because the Games couldn’t happen without them. The London Youth Games is an inspiration and an opportunity for young people to really succeed and go on to represent their country.”

The Balfour Beatty London Youth Games is Europe’s largest annual youth sports event, with all 33 London boroughs competing in 30 sports across 23 event days.

Team GB athletics stars Mo Farah, Tasha Danvers and David Weir, Olympic gold medal winning cyclist Bradley Wiggins, England netball legend Amanda Newton and England and Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand officially joined the Hall of Fame.

All are former London Youth Games competitors.

Over 400 guests attended the awards, including 2009 inductees and Olympic gold medalists Christine Ohuruogu and Linford Christie.
