Lock Tom Hooper claimed two awards on the night, the Shawn Mackay Award for Most Outstanding Young Talent and Members’ Choice Player of the Year.

Grace Kemp took home the Members’ Super W Player of the Year, with livewire winger Jemima McCalman being named as the Super W Most Outstanding Young Talent.

Tuggeranong Vikings prop Remsy Lemisio’s selection for the Junior Wallabies was recognised with the Graham Gordon Memorial Trophy for the ACT Best and Fairest U’20’s Player of the year.
