To mark its 100th anniversary, the Wellsford Rugby Football Club held its annual awards night with a 1920s-inspired theme.
Club coach Paul Mant said the idea was to take guests on a journey back in time to experience what life was like in 1926, the year the club was founded.
“We had a massive turnout of players, their families, sponsors and long-time club members. It was a great opportunity to celebrate off the field as well,” Mant said.
Among the award winners were Cody Aull, named Premier Player of the Year, Zach Martin, who took out the Premier Reserves Player of the Year award, and Latham Aull, named Sevens Player of the Year.
KJ Allen was recognised as Under-21 Player of the Year, while Tamati Phillips finished as the Premier division’s top points scorer with six tries, eight penalties and 34 conversions. Matty McCabe was named the division’s top try scorer.
