On Sunday, 11 October (the day after the 2012 Indochina Cup), Hanoi Coach, Adrian “Ado” Enright awarded the Coach’s Award and the Most Improved Player’s Award for Hanoi. Below, Ado reports on teh two awards (still to follow: Hanoi’s 2012 Clubman of the Year, Trent Mears)

Coach’s award: Edoardo Davide

Awarded to Club favourite, Edo, for his continuous positive attitude and willingness to learn the game of Aussie Rules. Since joining the club over a year ago, Edo has also shown incredible commitment to the team, touring after just one training session, and earlier this year returning from Italy to play in the Asian Championships. Despite fracturing his jaw mid-year, Edo remained committed to training which saw him put in an impressive tournament at the 2012 Indochina Cup. A pleasure to coach!

All the best back in your new home, and the home of AFL, Edo.

Most Improved (Hanoi): Matt Carr

Matt joined the Swans with already a solid foundation of skill and knowledge of the game. However, in the last six months, Matt’s improvement has been outstanding and underpinned his elevation into the A-squad for the Indochina Cup. His accurate kicking ability and strong hands will see him continue to make his mark at the Swannies.
