Three Corowa netballers finished in the top seven votes for the Ovens and Murray league’s Toni Wilson Medal for season 2024, as announced on Monday night at the SS&A Club in Albury.
Coach Sophie Hanrahan with 20 votes, Sally Hunter’s 18 votes and 15 votes by Indiana Fraunfelder meant a combined total of 53 votes – the most by any club in the top 11 vote catchers.
North Albury’s Emily Browne won the prestigious award, polling 31 votes to win from Maggie St John of Wodonga Raiders (26 votes) and Wangaratta’s Hannah Grady (24).
Sophie missed some matches, including state representative netball where she was the MVP.
Emily Browne has now become the league record holder of Morris Medals, with four, overtaking Sophie, and former Myrtleford and Corowa player Lindy Burgess-Singleton.
In football, young gun Ryan Eyers received most league votes with eight, followed by Darcy Hope with seven.
