Netball: Silver Ferns captain Laura Langman wins Dame Lois Muir Supreme award

Silver Ferns captain Laura Langman has taken out the top prize at the New Zealand Netball Awards, winning the prestigious Dame Lois Muir Supreme Award for the third time.

On Wednesday, Langman was presented with the trophy at Auckland's Spark Arena. The Dame Lois Muir Supreme Award is the highest individual accolade a New Zealand netballer can achieve, recognising the best Kiwi player across all elite competitions and campaigns.

Langman previously won it in 2015 and 2016. She remains the only Silver Fern to receive it more than once. 

In 2019, Langman completed another defining chapter in an already illustrious career after leading the Silver Ferns to victory at the Netball World Cup in Liverpool.

Langman described the last 12 months have been the best of her career. 

The Silver Ferns' Player of the Year was awarded to shooter Ameliaranne Ekenasio, decided by votes from members of the Silver Ferns squad.

Ekenasio also claimed the People's Choice vote, while the Ferns' World Cup triumph was the Moment of the Year.

In the 2019 ANZ Premiership category, Central Pulse coach Yvette McCausland-Durie was named Coach of the Year, with South Steel midcourter Gina Crampton taking out the Player of the Year award and Josh Bowring the umpire of the year.
