Other major awards on the night reflected the range of codes occurring in the Far North - powerlifting, football, Special Olympics, gymnastics and inline hockey. Recipients were fortunate to receive beautiful trophies made by carvers in the Whakairo and Arts programme at Northland Regional Corrections Facility.
Service to Sport recipients were Kevin Briscoe (Bowls), Michael Carroll (Bowls) and Frank Young (Ohaeawai Rugby). Karla Tawhai from Kaikohe was named 2014 Far North Volunteer of the Year.
From over 100 initial nominations, 55 finalists produced 19 code winners who competed in sports ranging from AFL to Unicycling. Eight Under-19 athletes were also recognised with Youth Achievement Awards.
While the Supreme Award title was used for the first time, in the past it has been known as Far North Sportsperson of the Year - of which Tuke has won the title six times.
Sport Northland changed the name to better reflect the fact that the Supreme winner is chosen only from the winners of Team, Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year.
