Once again Footscray players featured at the Victorian Rugby Awards. The incomparable Zerlina Dyer won the "Best player in the Women's Competition" award for the 2nd year running. This year she received the award from the Rebels' Cooper Vuna! Cooper was of course very excited meeting such a fantastic rugby player! Luke Mears won the Premier Division's highest point scorer's award. And who can forget his match winning, top 4 re-arranging drop goal from the last play of the last match of the last round of the season?
