In presenting the medal, club legend David Hall noted the strong father son connection that was coming through at Springvale Districts. Jay’s father Ken was a premiership player at the club, along with his uncle Todd Goldspink who was a star in the 1989 premiership win.
The Keith Keatinge Memorial Trophy for the Reserves Best and Fairest was won by Brendon Ford. Club stalwart Lukas Bray, who claims he was only filling in this season was runner up, with Brendon's younger brother Nick Ford in third place.
In other news, the much loved Bob Ward was awarded life membership for his many years of exceptional service. Bob accepted his award to a prolonged standing ovation. Clubs like Springvale Districts would not function without people the calibre of Bob and his life membership recognises this.
It was also formally announced that Clint Einsiedel would lead the club in 2011, with the committee ratifying his reappointment.
