Friday 3rd October 2014 at the Events Centre at Maroochy RSL saw the annual awards night that clubs, players, match officials and volunteers were recognised for their achievements throughout 2014. The awards night was hosted by Hot 91 Radio Host Daniel "Doc" O'Carroll with special guests from local parliament, football's state governing body and our neighbouring zones.
