Goalkeeper Ben Peter was named as Glenorchy Knights’ best-and-fairest Forestry Tasmania Southern Premier Player for the 2010 season at the club's trophy presentation dinner held at the Australian-Croatian Club last Friday.

Central-defender Anthony Grundy, 35, was the players’ player of the year, while Corey Smith was the top scorer with 8 goals, despite playing only 7 games this season because of suspensions.

In the Premier Reserves, Chris Mrzyk was the best and fairest, while Callen Griffiths was the players’ player of the year and Mathew Nowicki, with 10 goals, the leading scorer.

The under-19s best-and-fairest award went to Harrison Thomas and the leading scorer was Jack Harrison with 10 goals. The coach's award went to Trent Le Rossignol and the players' player of the year was Yosef Kolelo.

Shelley Cook scooped the pool in the Women’s Premier League awards, winning the top scorer award with 16 goals and also being named as the best and fairest and the players’ player of the year. In the absence of Les Richardson, the trophies were presented by Rose Wells.

In Women’s Division One, Jemma Dacy also won everything on offer. She was the top scorer with 10 goals and also the best and fairest and the players’ player of the season and received her trophy from Rose Wells.

Dacy leaves for France shortly to take up a teaching appointment.

The Joe Udovicic Under-16 Encouragement Award went to Yosef Kolelo, who also took out the Vikings Futsal Junior Encouragement Award.

Joe Udovicic, who passed away in 1985, was one of the club’s greatest goalkeepers and a State representative. He also played for Devonport City.

His daughter, Elena Udovicic, presented the award to Kolelo.

The Billy Krawczyk Encouragement Award went to Brendan Garth and the trophy was presented by Paul Woodham. The award is named after the Knights defender who drowned in tragic circumstances while scuba diving at Gordon, in southern Tasmania, in December 1981.

The Milan Lakoseljac Top Goalscorer Award, named in honour of one of the club’s leading strikers and former coach, who passed away in 1999, went to Corey Smith and was presented by Mrs Nerridene Lakoseljac.

The Women’s Outstanding Achievement Award was presented to Gemma Dacy.

The Peter Huigsloot Most Dedicated Player Award, named in honour of one of the club’s most famous defenders, who passed away in 2001, went to senior-team defender Alex Holmes.

The Patrons’ Award went to Anthony Grundy and the Vin McKay Best Club Person Award went to Ray Green, whose son, Brodie Green, collected the award for him.

The Knights men’s Division Two side won the league title for the second year in a row, with Tom Huigsloot as their top scorer and Ben Finn as the best and fairest and the players’ player of the year.

Knights have advertised their coaching positions for next season and there is plenty of work going on in the area of junior development.

The club has five junior sides ranging from under-12s to two under-16 sides, while it will have two girls’ teams next season. The club has 38 registered women players.

Committee member John Peter has been working with Rosetta Primary School and Glenorchy Primary School in the area of junior development.

John Peter and vice president Craig Garland hosted the evening and presented reports on the season in the absence of president Zac Baltic, who is on holiday in Croatia.
