The annual Youth Trophy Presentations are an event to celebrate a year of achievement and improvement and to recognise outstanding performances. Individual trophies are awarded for all teams Year 7 and up, with the President's Trophy presented to the female and male player who poll the most votes in the Club. At this event, players achieving the milestones of 50 and 100 games are presented with a commemorative medal and a number of important Club awards are announced.
Our Club continues to grow, both in membership and team numbers and this year we continued the recent tradition of holding the awards at the Clubrooms, from 3.00pm. Our Year 11/12 and Club awards were held from 7.00pm. Players and parents attended for the awards at their nominated timeslot and enjoyed a sausage sizzle afterwards. The coach of each team provided a summary of the season, thanking the many parents and volunteers that contribute to the success of each team, and presented milestone game medals and the individual awards.
We would like to extend a special congratulations to the following teams and their coaches for their outstanding performances:
• Coach Paul Valentino – Year 7/8 Female – Runner Up Premiers
• Coach John Stewart – Year 8 Blue – Premiers
• Coach Jack Kallarn – Year 9/10 Blue Female – Premiers
These achievements are a testament to your hard work, strategic thinking, and dedication. Each of you has played a crucial role in nurturing talent, fostering teamwork, and creating an environment where our players could excel.
Our milestone medallists are listed below with the individual award winners.
The President’s Trophies are presented to the male and female players who poll the highest number of votes in the Club. Dejontae Naughton, Year 7 Black, polled the most votes overall in the Sunday competition and was presented with the President’s Trophy for the boys - congratulations Dejontae. The female President’s Trophy was Lucy Farmer, Year 7/8. Well done Lucy.
John Keeley (President of the Hamersley Carine Amateur Football Club) and Kai Armstrong and Cameron Carr (Hamersley Carine Amateur Colts dual captain) and Meagan Hedley (Hamersley Carine Amateur Female Captain) presented the HCAFC Awards for the highest polling players in the oldest age group (i.e. the highest polling Year 12 boy and girl in the Year 11/12 competitions). Congratulations to Mason Driffill and Claudia Kasten-Lee We sincerely hope you continue with your football beyond Year 12, hopefully with the Hamersley Carine Amateur Football Club in 2025.
We had several Life Members joining us this year, including Phil Cousins, Barry Dedman, Geoff Hampton, Graham McEwan, Ann Lord and Jan Cater. They were on hand to support the award recipients, and induct our newest Life Members, Brad Hearn at the conclusion of the evening.
The Barry Dedman/Phil Cousins Volunteer of the Year award, named in honour of two of our Life Members, was awarded to Craig Groth. Congratulations to Craig who has been a wonderful ambassador for Carine Junior Football Club as a whole. Craig has been invaluable at coaching the Year 11/12 League. His relentless effort and unwavering commitment have turned the team from a struggling group into a serious premiership contender.
Worthy finalists included Brad Hearn and Chris Hill and we acknowledge their contributions to the Club in 2024.
It was an honour to present a Junior Life Membership pin to a player who played 125 games of junior football for the Carine Junior Football Club, Will Carey.
