Tippet, Slatter named WFNL's round 4 winners
The round 4 winner of the Wimmera Football Netball League Blue Ribbon Foundation Spirit of Netball award is Horsham Saints 17 & under netballer Cara Tippet.
Tippet received her award at the Coughlan Park netball courts from Blue Ribbon Foundation co-ordinator Les Power last Saturday.
Horsham Saints Football Netball Club is proud to recognise Tippet on being awarded this Blue Ribbon Award.
She is a highly talented player through the midcourt.
She has a steely determination and is capable of always making the contest.
Tippet is not only an outstanding junior player but she is also a very valuable player in the club's B grade side.
In the football equivalent, the Blue Ribbon Foundation Spirit of Football 2025 round 4 winner for the Wimmera Football Netball League is Horsham Saints under 17 footballer Angus Slatter.
Slatter's award was also presented by Power at Coughlan Park on May 17.
Slatter has played football with Horsham Saints since Auskick and is highly regarded as one of the leaders in the current under 17 playing group.
His willingness to help around the club is an example for his teammates.
Be it running the boundary for the senior grades or any other job that pops up, Slatter is always among the first to put his hand up to help out.
On the field, 'Slats' wears the Saints jumper with pride.
He combines skill and composure with a determination at the contest, playing the game with a spirit all admire.
His club mates and administrators say they couldn't think of anyone more deserving of this accolade.
The Spirit of Football Awards Program celebrates players who consistently demonstrate positive behaviour, including fair play, sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents and umpires.
Well done, Angus and Cara: the Saints family is super-proud of you both.
