The Carine Junior Football Club Committee is pleased to announce that nominations for the 2017 Phil Cousins Award are open.

The Award
The Award was introduced by the Club in 2016 and is named in honour of Phil Cousins, a Life Member and long standing past committee member who has been volunteering for the Carine Junior Football Club for several decades.

Auskick Coordinator Belinda Greenhalgh was the inaugural winner of the Phil Cousins Award and as we move into our second year, we know that this Award will be highly sought after and the ideal way to recognise people that contribute most to our Club.

The Phil Cousins Award will be given to the Club volunteer who has made a significant contribution to the Club or an individual team over the past season. Contributions made over previous seasons should be noted in the application and will be considered.

Eligibility
Any current Carine Junior Football Club, team official or contributor to the Club in a recognised capacity is eligible to be nominated for this Award.

Review Panel
A panel has been selected to review the applications and should they require any additional information on the candidate they will contact the proposer directly. Their decision will be ratified by the committee and will be final.
