NOMINATIONS have been flooding in for this year’s Community Star Awards.

We have had a host of inspirational teachers, carers and parents along with deserving charities, volunteers and local heroes.

But we are still in need of you to send in your recommendations ahead of the ceremony at the Theatre Royal Brighton in November. To give you an idea of the calibre of entries we are looking for, here’s a nomination for Young Sports Star of the Year.

Pocket-sized dynamo Freddie Sharpe used Brighton and Hove Albion as his inspiration to net 120 goals in a season for Denton and South Heighton Junior under-sevens.

The club, near Newhaven, described Freddie as “absolute dynamite” when the young star notched up the impressive tally in his debut season for the club.

The striker posed for a photograph with his commemorative shirt when he reached three figures in April but carried on finding the back of the net until the end of the season.

Freddie joined the team in January last year and made an immediate impact.

Team manager Jason Novis said: “The kid is absolute dynamite.

“I remember when he first rocked up to training and he banged in a hat-trick. I turned to the other coaches and said ‘he’ll do’. In his first game for us he scored seven goals and he’d already passed his dad’s record by Christmas and carried on going.”

Proud dad Michael Sharpe, 33, said: “He was pretty much born with a football at his feet. I used to play on a Sunday and was on the sideline with a ball. He always had a really good strike on him, but I think it’s his tenacity and his desire to win that sets him apart from the other kids.”

The team won 28 of their 30 matches last season and only lost to Eastbourne Borough, which has a handful of boys in the Chelsea ranks.
