The finalists for the 25th City of Rockingham Sports Star Awards have been announced.

Nominations were received across six 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 Deb Hamblin said the Sports Star Awards provided an opportunity for the community to recognise residents who were excelling in their respective sports.
