The Award
Named after two of our Club’s Life Members, the Barry Dedman/Phil Cousins Award is given to a Club volunteer who has made a significant contribution to the Club or an individual team over the past season.
The Carine Junior Football Club Volunteer of the Year Award is an ideal way to recognise those that go above and beyond to keep our Club moving forward. Contributions made in 2023 and over previous seasons should be noted in the application and will be considered.
