Despite a dominance by northern teams the Bermagui Breakers and the Narooma Lions in a majority of the stakes, Eden laid claim to some of the key honours as the women’s team goes to their third straight grand final this weekend.
Goal kicking prodigy Kamilla Grubesic was one of the first women to be honoured, named the leading goal kicker in the league with 68 majors this season.

The Whalers also featured heavily in the selected SCAFL Women’s team of the Year, while Shane Crowe was dubbed Women’s Coach of the Year.
The Rookie of the Year was Merimbula youngster Caleb Higgins.
