Metro Central Stage A Night to Remember
The Central Conference community came together on Monday Night for the 2021 Best and Fairest Medal showcase at the spectacular Heath Ledger Theatre in Perth.
Over 500 club participants, volunteers and spectators attended the night of nights, where the conference celebrated the top three players in each division across the zone this season.
The night was hosted by WAFC Auskick and Junior Football Coordinator, Michelle Sewell, alongside WAFC Metro Central Regional Manager, Corey Ranger and featured the dulcet tones of Dave Farthing (Swans), Jo Warner (Perth), and Shaun Hughes (East Perth) who had the difficult task of reading the votes.
Metro Central Regional Development Council Community Delegate, Rob Geersen said “I am sure I speak for all members of the Metro Central RDC board, in congratulating everyone involved in the 2021 Best and Fairest Awards night, held at the Heath Ledger theatre this week. Heading into our Grand Final weekend, it was such a fitting venue, to celebrate what has been a wonderful season of junior football across our region”.
Mr Geersen thanked all those that were involved in the conference this season by saying “The work and dedication that goes into ensuring our young men and women get to play each weekend, is nothing short of outstanding". Mr Geersen went on to say “To every player, umpire, WAFC staff member and club volunteer across the Metro Central region – thank you for a job well done. It is through your tireless commitment that nights like these are possible, but more importantly; it is through your tireless efforts that our kids get to play”.
Participation within the region continues to grow, especially in the youth segment, which has been aided by more competitive competitions, female football growth and 15 a-side competitions.
The WAFC would like to thank the tireless efforts of the Metro Central Competitions Team in Dee More, Catrina Fyfe and Claire Wyllie for their efforts in putting this showcase together.
Congratulations to the following award winners.
