Max Coughlin has won the 2024 Hampton Rovers Best & Fairest award, his first, and the third different player to claim the Bob Cave Medal in as many years. While Bella Cameron was the women’s best, at last Friday’s Presentation Night.

Coughlin had a breakout season for the Rovers where he played all 21 games, kicking 22 goals and featuring in the best players on 13 occasions.

Bella Cameron won the Sue Anderson Medal as best and fairest in the senior women’s team and also winning the Rovers of the year award, while Bryanna Arnold won the Jodie Combe Perpetual Trophy as best first year player.
