The finalists for the City of Rockingham Sports Star Awards have been announced.

57 nominations were received across seven categories for the Sports Star Awards, with athletes and clubs from a variety of sporting backgrounds represented in the final shortlist.

City of Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels said the awards provided an important opportunity for the community to recognise residents who were excelling in their respective sports.

“The City’s Sports Star Awards have marked an annual celebration of outstanding achievement within the local sporting community since 1997,” Mayor Sammels said.
