What a night it was at the Wangaratta and District Junior Football League vote count where Benalla and District junior footballers cleaned up.
This is a true reflection of the dedication and development we have had over the course of this season and an indication that there is plenty of talent representing Benalla in our great game.
Under-12 Vote Count and Presentation Day
On Saturday afternoon, the Benalla and District Junior Football under-12 age group came together to celebrate their 2022 season with a barbecue, some music, a kick of the footy and an ice-cream.
The vote count was done for the best and fairest awards and presented to the winners along with additional awards that were voted on by the coaching groups.
A fantastic afternoon was had by all.
