The season's finest performers were recognised via an online format for the first time due to COVID-19 restrictions.
No awards were presented in last year's COVID-19 interrupted season so AFL Riverina was keen to push ahead with this year's presentation despite the unique approach.
AFL Riverina community football and competition manager Tom Walker was pleased to see the online awards go ahead.
"While we were unable to get a finals series in, we thought it was important to celebrate the season we did have," Walker said.
"It was good to finish the season off with a presentation and recognise the outstanding performers for the year."
North Wagga enjoyed a successful presentation night in netball with Poppy Hulm (under 12) and Laura Boetto (under 15) both being named the league's best.
The under 15 count was particularly close with just two votes separating the top six players.
MCU Eastlakes' Abbey Hunt (under 11), Coolamon's Emmerson Buchegger (under 13) and Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong's Emma McPherson (under 14) were the other league best and fairests.
The football league best and fairests went to GGGM's Cooper Higgins (under 12), MCU Eastlakes' Charlie Harper (under 13) and Coolamon's Joshua Allen (under 15).
MCU Eastlakes won the club championships.
