Woodbridge Cup best and fairest night to go ahead at Canowindra Services Club

The Woodbridge Cup will host its annual presentation night on November 12 at the Canowindra Services Club, president Andrew Pull confirming the major awards night will go ahead now that COVID-198 restrictions have lifted across the region.

There are seven players in the hunt for the Cup's Alex Armstrong Medal - the competition's best and fairest.

Canowindra bookends Ron Lawrence and Nathan Whatman, Eugowra's Brad McMillan and Ricky Whitton; and Trundle pair Brad Watts and Blake Ridges are in the running.

The lone Manildra Rhino in the hunt, Luke Petrie will look to claim the game's highest individual honour after he guided his side to the minor premiership, with only COVID-19 regulations shelving the 2021 competition.

Pull said the three-two-one race was too close to call, but said staging the event despite the season being cut short was important for everyone involved with Woodbridge.

"We were keen to have this dinner. It's an important to chance to recognise these players," Pull added.

The competition will also honour leading players in its lower grades too.

Heidi Regan and Molly Hoswell (Cargo), Alicia White and Zoe Gavin (Grenfell), Ellie Russell (Trundle), Katie Fulwood (Molong) and Jess Fisher, Caitlin Dixon and Hayley White (Canowindra) are hopefuls in the league tag player of the year race.

Jackson Southwell (Canowindra), Tyler Byron (Canowindra), Jack Thomas (Molong) and Michael Smith (Grenfell) head the youth league's top player list.

Adam Hall is the last winner of the Adam Armstrong medal in 2019, while Jayden Brown won back-to-back best and fairests while at the Tigers in 2018 and 2017.
