He is being recognised for his contribution to increasing tennis participation, especially amongst disabled and blind people in the area.
“When I found out I had been chosen as part of the baton relay team for my work for bringing tennis to the community and including those that don’t always have the opportunity to take part, I was totally shocked and delighted,” said Neil.
“To carry the baton in my home county and be part of such a global event is a great honour and one I will never forget.”
