Dominic Morris named Country rugby Colts Player of the Year
June 12, 2009
Far North Coast Rugby Union representative flanker Dominic Morris has been named NSW Country Rugby Union’s Colts Player of the Year.
The Lismore Rugby Club flanker is in his first year of representative rugby for his Zone and NSW Country, and amassed points in every Country Colts match to claim the trophy.
The announcement was made today, when Country Rugby also announced that Mike Te Moana has created history by becoming the first player to win back-to-back Will Tanner Trophies, and to be named the New South Wales Country Senior Player of the Year.
The Will Tanner Trophy is named in honour of the former Quirindi, Central North and NSW Country player who tragically lost his life in a horse riding accident in the mid nineties.
Te Moana scored maximum points in the Cockatoos’ comprehensive win over the Queensland Country Heelers to edge out prop Liam Vaughan, with lock Tom Cullen and winger Chris Jack tied in third place.
The hard running No 8 from the Armidale Rugby Club in the New England Zone had an outstanding representative season for both the New England Lions in the NSW Country Championships and the NSW Country Cockatoos.
