Big Night for the Saints at the Old Scholars Awards Night
Alex Blair (SVC 2011-2014) was the recipient of the Peter Fitzgerald Medal awarded to the best and fairest player in senior division the Old Scholars Football Association. He had a two vote buffer to the runner-up, Hutchins' George Burbury. Alex also won the goal kicking competition amassing 88 goals during the roster games.
The reserves best and fairest went to veteran, Mark Beck (SVC 1995-98). Mark , who was on staff at Austins Ferry for many years, moved to Guilford Young College this year. This was a fitting reward to Mark who has contributed so much to the ‘old boys’ over recent years.
Other Old Virgilians featured on the night – Tony Freeman (SVC 1964-70) as president of the association and Mitch McPherson (SVC 2000-03) was co-opted to MC the event.
Amidst the players included in the ‘team of the year’ was recent student Harri Loveless. Harri plays with DOSA – totally excusable since his father, Brendan, played 417 games with the club spanning 25 years. Here is Harri pictured with Tony Freeman.
