Zach Walgers wins Marrar's best and fairest award

Walgers was crowned Marrar's best and fairest player at the Bombers' presentation night last Friday.

Walgers was a runaway winner of the award, following on from his Gerald Clear Medal victory for the best and fairest player in the Farrer League.

Toby Lawler was rewarded for his best season yet by finishing runner up, while Nick Molkentin and Blake Walker rounded out the top four.

Walgers said it was an honour to add his name to the club's best and fairest trophy.

"Yeah it is. I was having a look at the people that have won it in the past and there is some good people that have won it," Walgers said.

"I just love to add my name to the history books, I guess, and be on the same page as a few of the greats that have played at Marrar.

"That's one of the most significant things that I like to hold with me."
