Soccer academy awards night
The Southern and Ettalong United Football Club held its inaugural junior soccer development academy awards night last month.
Soccer club chairman Mr Jon Flemming said the success of this year's academy has ensured plans were under way for next year's program.
Seven players received outstanding achievement awards on the night.
The award winners were Bradman Best and Jordan Lennon (Under-8s to Under-9s), Callum Balneaves and Bailey Lennon (Under-10s to Under-11s), Ryan Berg and Royce Oliver (Under-12s to Under-14s) and goalkeeper Hamish Sproule.
"Academy member Bill Vrolyks was honoured on the night by having the trophy for the outstanding player of the academy named after him," Mr Flemming said.
"The winner of the inaugural Bill Vrolyks medal was Royce Oliver."
Mr Flemming said Mariners' player Damien Brown spent a full morning with the players.
Damien announced the Mariners were impressed with Southern and Ettalong United Football Club's academy and were keen to work jointly for future academies, Mr Flemming said.
