BASKETBALL: Chester Wheelchair Jets coach Tim Janvier was honoured with a national coaching medal from Sport England at the Chester Jets match against Sheffield Sharks on Sunday.
He was awarded with the Sport England Coach of the Year award in the Coach of-Disabled Performers category, for his dedication to coaching basketball.
He coaches for an astonishing 55 hours each week, a large proportion of which is devoted to the wheelchair game.

He said: 'Coaches play a crucial role in helping people enjoy and become more talented in sport. We want to make sure that these efforts are recognised.
