FOR the third year running the Sportsman pub has been named one of the best.

The fine ale pub on St Johns Road, Huddersfield, has been named Huddersfield’s Camra pub of the year for 2013.

And for manager Samantha Smith the award compliments her dedication to fine ale. Her other pub, the Stalybridge buffet bar, won the best Camra pub in the High peak and Cheshire area.

To mark the achievement the Sportsman created a special beer.
