Aaron Dee was the Robert Scott Player of the Match medal.

The main game, the All Age Men’s Division 1 between Minor Premiers Crookwell Red and Workers, was a cracker. Crookwell took the game to Workers and had the ball in the net in the first few minutes. Before the crowd blinked, Crookwell had their keeper sent off for a second yellow card and the score was five-two Crookwell, who led at half-time. The second half pace was furious and Workers couldn’t get a shot on target. Crookwell scored twice more to win seven-two. Crookwell’s Sam Jackson was the Nerida Collins Player of the Match.
