Last year it was Swifts basking in the glow of a junior best and fairest double – this year it was Kalkee and Taylors Lake.
The Kees celebrated a double-up at Horsham District Football Netball League’s junior best and fairest vote count on Monday night, claiming the 17-and-under netball award and a share of the under-17 football trophy.
Kalkee’s Jordan Motton tied for the football award with Harrow-Balmoral’s Tyler Hateley on 24 votes, the pair winning by four votes from Taylors Lake’s Matthew White, with Swifts’ Bourke Nicholls in third place with 18 votes.
In the netball it was Mia McGrath who took out top honours, polling six best-on-court efforts from her first eight games to record a total of 28 votes, four ahead of fast-finishing Harrow-Balmoral player Olivia Muldoon and five votes from third-place getter Ella Slorach of Taylors Lake. The Lakers also had plenty of reason to celebrate results of the 15-and-under netball and under-14 football counts.
