RAF Names 2015's Top Athletes

The RAF Sports Board has held its annual awards ceremony at RAF Halton.
 
Sports Team of the Year went to the Air Force's male rugby union players, who defied history and the odds this year to pick up their first inter-services title in over two decades.
 
Sportsman of the Year went to Flight Sergeant Kevin Johnson, who's dominated clay pigeon shooting in the Air Force for the past four years.
 
And the Sportswoman of the Year title went to Squadron Leader Joan Cawthray, who's enjoyed runaway success at service level since retiring from international canoeing duty more than 20 years ago.
