At the annual awards ceremony held in Dublin to honour/announce the Junior Sports Star Award winners, a high-profile global figure in sports attends the lunch function, where he or she delivers a motivational speech on the next career step (ie from junior into senior, from amateur into professional sport).

Past speakers have included Padraig Harrington, Graeme Souness and Kenny Daglish, as pictured here.

We look forward to announcing this year's guest speaker nearer the event.
