The finalists for the City of Rockingham Sports Star Awards have been announced ahead of the awards ceremony on September 15 at the Gary Holland Community Centre.

Nominations were received across seven categories for the Sports Star Awards, with volunteers, athletes and clubs from a wide range of sporting codes represented in the final shortlist.

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

“Since 1996 the City’s Sports Star Awards have acknowledged and celebrated the achievements of local sportspeople and volunteers in our community,” Mayor Sammels said.

“The awards have paid tribute to local, state, national and international calibre champions from across the City who have gone on to achieve major success.

"Due to the COVID enforced cancellation of last year’s event, the 2021 Sports Star Awards will recognise achievements during the July 2019 – June 2021 period."
