ONE of Kendal's most promising young sports stars was recognised at the recent Cumbria Sports Awards.

Queen Katherine School pupil Daniel Armstrong, from the world of Water Polo, was one of five winners of a Rising Star Award and was presented with the accolade at the Low Wood Bay hotel event.

Daniel was selected for the Great Britain Water Polo Talent Squad from a possible selection of 88 players from throughout the UK who trialled at the GB Water Polo Trials at Cardiff in January 2014, having only joined the sport three months prior.
