The NPTC Group of Colleges Sports Awards 2024 took place on Wednesday, 15th May, with winners from across the sporting sphere celebrated during the evening.
Dozens of students attended the event held this year at Neath RFC and were presented with awards which included recognition for international and county honours, College representation, accolades for most improved players; sportsman/woman of the year and certificates of achievement for some of the elite sports students too.
The special guest at the event was Wales and Ospreys rugby star Jac Morgan, who presented each winner with an award and offered them his congratulations and messages of support.

The night was an opportunity to celebrate the achievement of our outstanding individuals and team members and it was evident that sport is thriving at NPTC Group of Colleges.
