Congratulations to Judy Gibbs, B grade League Best and Fairest player from the Dunolly FNC. Judy has made a stellar return to the court this year after two knee reconstructions. She is a dedicated club member and her passion for the game is second to none. Judy runs the centre for Dunolly and her determination and ability to read the play can gain many intercepts for her team. Judy earned the league A grade Best and Fairest award in the Lexton Plains league in 1999 proving her longevity in the game. Fortunately for Judy, who has celebrated a major birthday this year, her husband whisked her away to Hawaii yesterday so unfortunately for us Judy can't be here tonight. We’d like to invite a representative from Dunolly FC to accept the award on her behalf.
Congratulations Judy Gibbs

Max Martin “Administrator of the Year Award”
Winner is: Barry Phillips – Maldon FNC
Barry’s passion and commitment to the game of Australian Rules Football is simply outstanding. Barry’s attention to detail and willingness to ensure that the Maldon FNC and league in general runs as smooth as it can is a credit to Barry. I’m sure the players, committee and supporters of the Maldon FNC really appreciate Barry’s hard work this year, and I should say his many years of service to the club. A Maldon senior football premiership this year I’m sure would mean the world to Barry and it would be a great reward for all his hard and dedicated work. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Barry.
The MCDFNL congratulate Barry for efforts in 2010.
