SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS The Avoca Football Netball Club were very pleased to award two of our up and coming junior players with the AFNC Scholarship Awards at the recent Graduation Night. Chelsea Ross commenced her netball with Avoca 11 and Under team in 2018 and played 11 games. She also played 1 game for the 13 and under team. There was no netball in 2020 due to covid lockdowns. Chelsea resumed this season and showed great talent when she played 11 games for the 13 & under team, and polled 32 votes to just miss out on a Runner Up Best & Fairest award by 2 votes. She also polled 4 league votes. The Avoca FNC is very pleased with Chelsea’s progress and look forward to seeing her play many more games for our club. Congratulations Chelsea! Aidan Blair first commenced playing football for Avoca in the Under 11.5 team in 2017. He could now quite possibly be considered a veteran player having already played 69 games for the club. He was a key player in the 11.5 team going through the 2021 season undefeated and just missed out on being the runner up Best & Fairest by 4 votes. Aidan polled 32 votes in the club Best & Fairest vote count, and was awarded the Most Determined player award. He also recently was selected in the AFL Goldfields squad for the coming season. Aidan comes from a good sporting and community minded family, and the Avoca FNC look forward to what lies ahead on the football field. Congratulations Aidan! Aidan & Chelsea are pictured with Club President Bill Drummond who presented them both with their awards.
