Sam  Kerr  and  Charlotte  Gammie  have  collected  the  April
       2022-23  Park’s  Motor  Group  Scottish  Women’s  Premier
       League (SWPL) Player of the Month awards.
           Kerr is the fourth Rangers player to win the award this
       season alongside Jenny Dannielson (August), Tessel Middag
       (September), and Brogan Hay (March). This is her first Player
       of the Month award having being nominated back in October
       2020 whilst playing for Glasgow City.
           The  Scotland  internationalist  had  a  prolific  month  as
       Rangers  went  unbeaten,  winning  three  out  of  their  four
       matches. Kerr scored five goals, including a hat-trick against
       Partick  Thistle  and  the  only  goal  in  their  1-1  draw  against
       Heart of Midlothian.
           In Park’s Motor Group SWPL 2, Charlotte Gammie picked
       up the award after helping her side secure the title with four
       games to spare. Montrose won all four games in the month to
       extend their unbeaten run to 14 games.
           Gammie  scored  three  goals  and  provided  three  assists,
       contributing  with  a  goal  scoring  action  in  each  of  the  four
       games. This included a stunning strike in their 3-1 win over
       Kilmarnock.
           Montrose  will  be  officially  presented  with  the  Park’s
       Motor Group SWPL 2 title on Sunday (14th May) after their
       match against Queen’s Park which is a 12pm kick off at Links
       Park.
           The  nominees  for  the  April  Park’s  Motor  Group  SWPL
       award  were  Jacynta  Galabadaarachchi  (Celtic),  Bayley
       Hutchison (Aberdeen), and Alana Marshall (Spartans) and for the SWPL 2 award the nominees were
       Ami Robertson (Gartcairn) and Eleanor Smith (Queen’s Park).
