NOOSA Tigers player Nick Hill has taken out both the seniors best-and-fairest award and the player-of-the-year award at the Tigers’ awards day on Sunday.
Held at the Tigers’ Weyba Road home ground, the awards ceremony is a chance to recognise and celebrate the players who have put in a stellar effort throughout the season.
Hill took out fifth place in the QFA seniors best-and-fairest last week, and this week 117 votes secured him the local best-and-fairest award while 35 votes secured him the title of the Sandcastles Noosa/Noosa Today player-of-the-year award.
In the player-of-the-year award, Hill was closely followed by Robert Copeland with 29 votes, Zach McDonald with 24 votes, Shane Davis with 23 votes and Gary Wallace with 15 votes.
Also a winner was Nathan Winter, fresh from his win as the QFA reserves best-and-fairest last week, Winter won the reserves best-and-fairest for the Tigers with 124 votes at this week’s award ceremony.
Winter was followed by Jack Tickner with 58 votes, Jake Fulton with 55 votes, Matt Gray with 47 votes and Matt Deans with 37 votes to round out the top five.
The Tigers will now hold their official presentation night at the Weyba Road clubrooms on Saturday 26 September.
