Sportsperson of the Year with Disability - Harrison (Harry) Sencek
Harry Sencek has shown that mainstream community sport and clubs can be inclusive and that all people – regardless of skill level – are unique and can bring valuable qualities to a team.
Harry played for Kerrimuir United Cricket Club in the under 12s for the 2020/21 season. He is the only player in the team with disability.
Harry’s best bowling average is 8 wickets at 10.38. He is a supportive member of the club, always cheering teammates on from the sidelines.
