  30-12-2015 20:20
  
  With the countdown to the 2016 Olympic Games well and truly on, the past 12 months have seen plenty of Nottingham athletes stake their claim for a place on the plane to Rio. Leading the way must be teenage gymnast Ellie Downie, who has breezed through her debut year at senior level. The 16-year-old made history at the European Championships with her all-around bronze medal, before helping Team GB secure third place at the Worlds, alongside big sister Becky. Both will be hoping to make the...

  Nottingham Tennis Centre served up an ace in 2015. In fact, it produced two. The return of top level tennisto Beeston was a great success, with both the women's WTA and men's ATP Aegon Open going down a storm. World No.14 Agnieszka Radwanska was the pick of the women's field before the event began, though was knocked out in the semi-finals, while other top talent such as Daniela Hantuchova and Francesca Schiavone fell even earlier. In the end, the title went toteenager Ana Konjuh, who...

  For two of Nottingham's professional boxers, Carl Froch and Leigh Wood,2015 was a case of one chapter being closed, another one beginning. Froch had spent the start of the year hoping to fulfil his dream of fighting in Las Vegas. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was mooted as a possible opponent, with the Mexican back in the ring. But an elbow injury dashed hopes of an early 2015 meeting and Froch was then forced to play a waiting game. He had to see if Chavez Jr would overcome Andrzej Fonfara to...

  It wasn't a surprise to see Ricardo Moniz get the sack from Notts County. When he first got the job I said at the time it was a strange appointment. I thought Shaun Derry was unlucky to get fired in the first place and not many people knew a lot about Moniz. He'd been at a Premier League team in Tottenham Hotspur and to take those ideas into a League Two side seemed a bit strange. Between them Notts and Nottingham Forest must have had upwards of nearly 30 managers over the last five...

  Notts County and their manager Shaun Derry entered January hoping to rekindle the form which saw them defy the bookies' odds and march into League One's top four. The Magpies' cause wasn't helped by losing key loan players like Michael Petrasso, Louis Laing and Stephen McLaughlin who had all made a real impact at Meadow Lane. Their quality was never replaced, as untried youngsters who had been schooled at Championship clubs came in and were asked to do a man's job. Alefe Santos and Kwame...

  Notts County Ladies' year was certainly a case of so close butyet so far. The Lady Pies did brilliantly to reach two cup finals, but sadly for the city they just came up short. First up was the FA Women's Cup final against Chelsea as Rick Passmoor's team became history makers. They were the first ever women's team to reach the final at Wembley as they beat Everton 3-0 to secure their place under the famous arch. They were followed by Chelsea, who overcame Manchester City, and it made...

  Mansfield began 2015 four points above the relegation zone. Boss Adam Murray had stressed his side were not out of danger by any means and they began January with a 2-1 defeat against Burton Albion. They ended up without a win in the month andwere just outside the bottom two relegation spots by a point. Murray galvanised his players and three wins against Stevenage, Luton and Dagenham certainly eased relegation fears. Another two wins in March helped, but inexplicably, the Stags went...

  When Corey Neilson looks back on 2015, he might well view it as the pivotal year in his coaching career. The first four months were, on reflection, pretty miserable for both the Nottingham Panthers coach and the team's fans. They finished last season without a major trophy for the first time since 2009, Neilson's first at the helm of the Elite League club. A fourth place league finish, failure to make finals weekend and semi-final elimination in the Challenge Cup was not enough to satisfy...
