After starting off in the juniors, Perrot made the transition to the Dragons’ senior team three years ago and was surprised to be named the best player in the competition.
“I was pretty surprised actually,” Perrot said.
“I didn’t think I would win.
“There is a lot of good girls who play leaguetag around Group Nine so I thought it would be some stiff competition.
“I’m pretty honoured, it is the first time I have ever been up that high in the count so I’m pretty happy about that.”
Perrot was also the competition’s leading pointscorer while Gundagai’s Linley Jones was the top tryscorer and Brothers’ Gabby Suckling leading goalkicker.
