The Hampden Football Netball League are pleased to announce the naming of both the Open Netball Best and Fairest and Division 1 Netball Best and Fairest awards. From season 2022 onwards, these awards will be known as follows:
Open Netball Best and Fairest: Dot Jenkins Medal
Division 1 Netball Best and Fairest: Tracey Baker Medal
Netball has now been part of the Hampden league since 1987, and we are honoured to recognise two outstanding members of the HFNL Community. The HFNL acknowledges and celebrates the significant contributions of many throughout its netball history. When deliberating suitable candidates for the naming of these awards, the HFNL consulted various stakeholders throughout the league and the community, assessing suitability against a range of criteria including: Minimum of 25 years’ service to netball in the HFNL, played and coached at the highest level within the HFNL and significant contributions both on and off the court.
With the longstanding history of both the Maskell and Lew Kelly Medals, the HFNL is delighted that their netball counterparts will have their own opportunity to celebrate and enrich the history of HFNL netball.
