Last weekend, the Swannies went Back to Back with the Indochina Cup.
Yesterday, our Skipper, Luke “Dukesy” Creamer went Back to Back with the Swannies’ Best and Fairest, narrowly nudging out Heath “Heater” Ellis.
In third position was the Saigon President, Dez Limbrick (who was the highest scoring Swannie at the Asian Champs).
The result was a clear crowd pleaser after the Captain’s Indochina Cup winning performance last weekend. Long time friend, Nat Payne who presented the votes for the Indochina Cup with Damo Ballantine said, “I have seen Dukesy play a lot of footy but have seen none better than his performance in last weekend’s Grand Final”.
Dukesy polled 27 votes out of a possible 30 votes at the Indochina Cup.
Other recipients of awards were:
- Best Clubman in Saigon: Saigon President elect, Sam Conroy
- Most Outstanding Contribution: Ross McRae (who also received an air fare and two nights’accomodation at the Lifestyle Resort, Danang)
- Most Improved Players: Trent Mears and Spencer Fowler
- Captain’s Award: Dave O’Shea
The Club also farewelled outgoing Saigon President, Derrin Limbrick and his ever supportive wife, Fleur. We welcomed next year’s incoming Saigon President, Sam Conroy.
Congratulations to all recipients of awards – and all other players who were breathing down their necks all season. It really has been a fantastic season for the Swannies Club.
Much more to follow.
