The night's big winner was Durham's Director of Cricket Geoff Cook who picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Cook had a successful playing career with Northamptonshire and has been one of the guiding lights at Durham since their birth as a first class county 15 years ago. He told James Mountford what the award means to him.

Sportsperson of the Year was the Redcar Bears captain Gary Havelock.

The 1992 World Champion led his team to two trophies in as many days at the end of the season that was marred by serious injury for Gary and many other Bears.
He told James about what was an amazing season.

Team of the Year was Middlesbrough Cricket Club. They had a superb season, winning two trophies and ending up as runners up in two more. Skipper Danny Evans spoke to James Mountford.

Junior Sport's Personality of the Year was Middlesbrough Cyclist David Daniell.
After picking up his award, the 17 year old from Park End spoke to Mark Drury.

BBC Tees sponsored the Coach/Mentor of the Year category and there was a very popular winner.

Dave Parnaby is Director of the Middlesbrough Football Club Academy which is the envy of the country, producing a seemingly never-ending supply of local youngsters for Gareth Southgate and Steve McLaren before him to choose from. Mark Drury spoke to Dave who was very proud to receive the award.

Young Boro defenders Andrew Taylor and Tony McMahon handed out two awards.
The pair are injured and Taylor told Mark Drury how he was doing in his rehabilitation from a foot injury that's kept him out of action since the game at Bolton a month ago.
