On Wednesday 28 August we were treated to a spirited Best & Fairest Awards night for the All Stars Team. MC Lenny Gross OAM, interviewed every player as they were called up to receive their awards - a highlight of their year. Much of the players consensus that being part of AJAX All Stars team meant making new friends, being healthy, belonging and participating in a team sport and all players said they would be back again next year to play for AJAX!
Lenny Gross OAM guided all players to the stage and everyone was a winner from every player, goal umpire, umpire escort, photographer, cheer squad/supporters, support workers and families. A special appreciation and thank you letter to Manager Jeff Israel from the AFL recognising his efforts in managing this team, something he loves doing with passion. The Awards were a definite highlight for everyone involved, proving just how unique and welcoming our Club is.
We were thrilled that a couple of our sponsors were able to attend. Michael Aronson and his wife Michelle as well as Sherrie Krampel from Total Health Physio, were presented with certificates of thanks for their invaluable contribution to the All Stars team.
