THE INAUGURAL Loddon Herald Sports Star of the Year will be named at a special event on Monday night.
The winner will be announced during the dinner at Wedderburn’s Donaldson Park where guest speaker will be award ambassador and former US rally driving champion Rhianon Gelsomino.,
Drawn from articles published in the Herald, the 12 monthly nominees come from an extraordinary variety of sports, highlighting the special talent in the region.
Sports represented include woodchopping, motocross, golf croquet, athletics and ‘armed’ lawn bowls, as well as the perennial favourites: cricket, football and netball.
The nominees also span a wide range of ages, from teenagers to veterans, and a spread of home towns across Loddon Shire.
There are stars from Inglewood, Pyramid Hill, Serpentine, Boort, Arnold, Bridgewater and Wedderburn, and their achievements have been recorded at national, state and local level.
Will the award go to a young woodchopper who had success at the Melbourne Royal, or a veteran who played his 300th game of senior football? A teenage motocross rider who won state titles, or the star of an Anzac Day netball grudge match?
