Bryan Sharp of Albany Tennis Club received the Lifetime Achievement award at the Isle of Man Bank Sports Awards last night.
He has been a member of the club, and involved with it in various capacities, for the last 50 years.
Associates from the club, and people from the wider Manx sporting community paid tribute to his efforts and tireless dedication, before he was presented with the honour.
Speaking to Manx Radio at the end of the ceremony, when he'd had time for things to sink in, he told us what's kept him going:
FC Isle of Man to begin new year with Chadderton test
Hockey: Opening fixtures of 2026 campaign confirmed
Rugby: Ramsey and Vagabonds on the road to start new year
Football: Ecap FA Cup clashes to kick off 2026
