The 2023 WA Sport Awards were held on Thursday 29 February at HBF Stadium.
Matilda’s superstar Samantha Kerr has taken her place among the greats of Western Australian sport, claiming the coveted WA Sports Star Award for the third time at the 2023 WA Sport Awards.
Kerr becomes just the fifth product of the WA sports system to claim WA’s most prestigious sports award on three or more occasions, with the last sportsperson to notch a third crown being Ric Charlesworth in 1986. Others to have claimed the WA Sports Star Award on at least three occasions include Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh while Margaret Court became the only woman to achieve the feat some 50 years ago in 1973.
