AU ball – and the winner is…

So it’s the final count down to this year’s Athletic Union awards ball. This evening will see us celebrating the achievements of our student athletes over the past year both on and off of the playing field at the spectacular venue of Southampton Football Club’s St Mary’s stadium. We had such an amazing set of nominations this year (well over 300 of them)! That all go to show the amazing work that the members of our AU put in, and the amazing things that they achieve

Unlike previous years we are giving you a sneak preview of the shortlists for each of the awards (something that you previously only found out once in the venue), and these can be found below.

Seen your name below, but not bought a ticket yet? Not to worry as there are still some non-dining tickets are available on the SUSU box office, so please come and join us, as we recognise and celebrate the best examples of sporting excellence at the University of Southampton.
