The jumpers were handed out and in a special tribute to the winning under 11s grand final team and had been embroidered with their achievements.
Each under 11 player was also given a copy of the grand final match on DVD.
The players enjoyed the recognition that their team mates duly deserved and trophies were awarded for each age group.
Under 9s most improved was Jake Blackney, most promising Sam Sharman, coaches award Joe Harpley, and best and fairest Tom Tooth.
Under 11s most improved was Aaron Fuller, most promising Will Crawford, players’ player Tom Baldry, and coaches award Felix Leahy.
Under 13s most consistent forward was Mac Hamilton, most consistent back Joe Ward, players’ player Max Cameron, and best and fairest Jack Caldwell.
Under 15s best and fairest was Sam Eberle, best forward Mitchell Coleman-Hardy, players’ player Adam Blackney, and coaches award Alex Sutherland.
The under 9s coaching staff also handed the old balls out to a few of their dedicated players, including Harvey Hines, Riley Kennedy, Toby Lawson and Ethan Shepherd.
The under 11s grand final was replayed on the big screen, with loud cheers from all the Dads- you would have thought it was a live game!
The committee would like to say a wonderful thank you to all of our sponsors that have supported us over the past two years, including The Globe Hotel, Elders, Ferg’s Plastering, Crawford Livestock, Spinafex welding, Ginny Tooth, Glover’s Crutching, Cootamundra Toyota, Pops Plumbing, Kenso, Dunk Insurance, and Cooper’s Couriers.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with you and encouraging junior rugby in Cootamundra.
The Coota Bears would also like to thank the coaching staff for their commitment, support and dedication to the players.
Special thanks to the Ramsay and the Harpley families as they will be leaving Cootamundra.
Rob Ramsay and Hugo Harpley have been involved with the Cootamundra Bears as coaches and their skills and leadership will be sadly missed.
Congratulations to all the Coota Bears and their families for a fantastic season and we look forward to seeing you in 2015.
