The Goulburn City Bulldog won best and fairest, and was one of four local players to take home an award at the annual McIntyre Medal Presentation Night on Tuesday, October 5.
Bulldog Lauren Kelly was the top point scorer in the Katrina Fanning Shield competition with 92 points, Jyi Little was the u19s top try scorer with 12 tries and Tom Harmer was the u19s top point scorer with 76 points.

McKenna was surprised but delighted to be given the top honour in the ladies league tag competition at the presentation night held virtually this year.
"I was quite shocked to be honest as I wasn't expecting it at all," she said.
"All the girls in the team have been phenomenal all year and I think that working with them and gaining more knowledge definitely helped me achieve the recognition."

This was the first season at the Bulldogs for the fullback and she said she wanted to make a good impression from the very start.
"I've definitely always put a lot of pressure on myself to have a good game and being new to the team, I didn't want to disappoint them," McKenna said.
"I wanted to make sure I gave it everything I had every time I was on the field."
Having played four seasons of league tag, McKenna felt this was her best season ever.
The biggest award on the night, the Les McIntyre Medal for the best and fairest in the men's first grade competition, ended in a tie.
West Belconnen Warriors second rower Joshua Ayers and Gungahlin Bulls five-eighth Tre Holten-Williams both polled 14 votes to be crowned joint winners.
