Rileys & Sports Colours 2021: check out the champions

Last week we had the honour of recognising the very best of LUU’s clubs, societies and sportspeople at the Riley Awards and Sports Colours Awards 2021.

We all know what a challenging year it’s been for our community, but so many of our student members have shown great resilience and innovation in the face of these difficulties, enabling them to continue their valuable work this year. From awards for Best Transition Online to Best Virtual Event, plus all the usuals like Best Club and committee awards, this year’s awards ceremonies really showcased the incredible work that’s gone into keeping sports and activities at LUU up and running during the pandemic.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at our wonderful winners, including May’s Partnership Awards winners via the link below. Congratulations from all of us at LUU.
