Sgarbi crowned with maiden league best and fairest medal
Danielle Sgarbi, the captain of Geelong Amateurs, has brilliantly culminated an outstanding team season by securing victory in the 2023 Division 1 Senior Female Football Best and Fairest accolade. Sgarbi's triumph was resounding, as she maintained an unassailable lead heading into the final round, ultimately fending off the determined efforts of her eventual runner-up, Taiya Morrow of Lara. Sgarbi's individual achievements reached a pinnacle that evening, as she also earned her spot in the esteemed 2023 Female Football Coaches Team of the Year.
In Division 2, Daisy Wilson, a midfielder from South Barwon, demonstrated remarkable prowess to outshine Oliver Ritchie of Anglesea and claim the coveted medal.
Tara Smith of Drysdale Hawks solidified her status as a two-time Senior Female Football medallist in Division 3 with an emphatic victory during the count. The second-place position was shared between Faith Qoon of North Geelong and Phoebe Cobb of St Albans.
Adding to the array of accolades for the night, Taiya Morrow of Lara was honoured with the Female Football Rookie of the Year Award, while Annie Haigh of St Mary's secured the Geelong Advertiser Senior Female Division 1 Award.
