Carling is set to honour unsung pub football team heroes and the champions of the amateur game as they launch the Carling Pub Football Awards 2008 - and want teams, players, managers, referees, and fans up and down the country to nominate their mates to be in with a chance to win.

The Carling Pub Football Awards, now in its second year, will celebrate some of the often overlooked sporting triumphs taking place every weekend on pitches across the UK.

The Awards, judged by a sporting panel that includes ITV Football Pundit Robbie Earle and Daily Mail Columnist Des Kelly, gives footballers nationwide the opportunity to nominate in the following ten categories:

• Player of the Year
• Manager of the Year
• 11-a-side Team of the Year
• 5-a-side Team of the Year
• Administrator of the Year
• Referee of the Year
• Supporter of the Year
• Pub Football Website of the Year
• Dodgiest Kit Award
• Team Spirit Award
• Pub Football Legend Award - Services to Football

Football players, fans and all of those associated with the great game can log on to Carling's Pub Football website www.carling.com/pubfootball to nominate, as well as register their team on the site.
