Lagos Chamber awards votes of praise to athletes in the municipality

The three approved praise votes involve six athletes

The Chamber of Lagos approved this Thursday the awarding of votes of praise to six "important figures from the local, regional and national sports scene".

José Joaquim, known as “Jota”, and athletes Henrique Gavina, Luís Gavina, Marco Silva and Rodrigo Dias, from the Esperança de Lagos Football Club, and Pedro Braz Correia, are the winners.

In the first case, the distinction is attributed to José Joaquim's long career in the service of Lacobrigensian sports.

«Standing out as an athlete, coach and manager, especially in the Athletics modality, he is considered a unique case in the local associative movement, having instilled, with his example, in several generations of young people, a taste for sports, helping to form them champions», describes the Lagos Chamber.

«Of his vast achievements, among other milestones, the achievement of individual and collective titles in the sport of Athletics, having also been district football champion (at the youth level) at the service of Clube de Futebol Esperança de Lagos (CFEL), where he joined the main team of Football 11, participating in the National Championship of the 3rd Division», he added.

His career as a football player and coach at the service of several clubs «would end up being neglected by his greatest passion: that of athlete and athletics coach».

In this condition, it marked the development of the sport in clubs such as CFEL, Grupo Desportivo Amador de Lagos (GDAL), Clube Recreativo, Cultural e Desportivo Luzense, Centro Cultural de Barão de S. João, Sport Lagos e Benfica, Centro Cultural de Barão de S. Cultural and Sports of the Workers of the Municipality of Lagos, among others.
