We held our annual senior prizegiving at the clubrooms last night, with an excellent representation from all our teams. Congratulations to the club award winners (listed below) and the individual team award winners. These provide recognition for individual efforts, involvement and commitment across the season.
Life Members
The club has awarded four individuals with life membership. Following nearly two centuries of involvement with the Swifts, in pretty much every capacity imaginable, Dwayne Barlow, Julie Clothier, Dave Taylor and Malcolm Raynel (pictured, left to right) were worthy and popular recipients.
