2022 Cec and Bunty Awards ball
The Club’s first in-person awards night as a merged club with both women’s and men’s teams was a fantastic success. Players and supporters came together at Doltone House to celebrate the first uninterrupted Sydney AFL season since 2019, marking some great wins and honouring the contributions of club legends.

Players’ on-field contributions were recognised, with each team awarding their Best and Fairest. Across all ages, and divisions, the awardees demonstrated the Club’s commitment to excellence at every level. Maryanne Harley and Jack Dimery were awarded the Best and Fairest for the Women’s and Men’s Premier Division team, respectively, showcasing the very best of the Club’s ability to develop and support players of the highest level.
The Club also recognised the contribution of members off-field, who give up their time to do the work it takes to keep the Club running, from umpiring, to running the canteen. Richard Hawtin took home the Cec and Bunty Club Person of the Year award. Hawtin’s contribution to the club since he joined nearly a decade ago has been legendary, and 2022 was no different as he routinely showed up on a Saturday to umpire games back to back.
Life memberships were also awarded to the members whose lasting contributions have earned them the title of club legend. Sophie Clarke, Sam Power, and Andrew Holmes – who have 37 years at the club between the three of them – were all given the honour.
The array of awards – for efforts both on and off the field – showcased the best of a club built on quality football and an even better culture. The mood across all teams was pride for the season that had come, and optimism for the year ahead.
