2025 Community Bank Merbin & District 97.9 Triple M Northern Mallee Sports Star Awards

Congratulations to all of our Award recipients and to every nominee; each represents the dedication, resilience and passion that define our sport.

Our Awards recognise the athletes who continually strive to be their best; the coaches who guide, mentor and inspire; the officials who uphold the integrity of competition; and the volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. Every role matters, and every contribution strengthens our sporting community.

From grassroots development to elite performance, from junior pathways to lifelong participation, our sport continues to thrive because of the collective commitment of so many dedicated people. It is this shared passion that builds not only great competitors but strong, connected communities.

To our valued sponsors — thank you. Your ongoing support makes evenings like this possible and ensures that sporting excellence and significant contributions across our sport are properly recognised. Your investment in our athletes, our programs and our community is deeply appreciated and never taken for granted.
