Will Brennan, Natimuk United U/17 footballer, takes the round 13 Spirit of Football award.

Will, in his first year of Under 17s, was a leader and integral part of the Under 14 team. He is an athletic footballer who shares his time between football and a successful volleyball career.

While Will has had much individual success, he is selfless and team-orientated.

It is not unusual to see him give the ball to a younger teammate even though he is in easy range of a goal. He is a very talented sportsman who sets a great example for his teammates.

The round 12 winner of the Blue Ribbon Spirit of Football award for the 2017 Wimmera Football League season in Minyip Murtoa U/17 footballer Dominic Hateley.

Dom is a wonderful young man who started playing football only a few years ago and has excelled with his sheer determination and love for the contest.

His ability to tackle, spoil, and win the hard ball is what sets him apart on the field and his attack on the football is second to none. 

No matter the score, everyone knows that Dom will being giving 100 per cent to win the ball and help the team.

This alone will allow him to be a great player for many years to come and we are all excited for his future at Minyip/Murtoa.
