The Castlederg girl was honoured by the sporting community for her fantastic achievement during the summer of last year.

In 2018 Sommer also competed at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Legendary Irish Jockey Ruby Walsh presented Sommer with her award on the night in front of a 600 plus attendance at the Mount Errigal Hotel.
