Bowral Blacks player Lachlan Huntington was crowned the senior winner.
Based on this this year’s achievements, it is hard to believe that 2018 was only Huntington’s second season playing in first grade for the Blacks.
He played both fly half and fullback, was the team’s main goal kicker, won a premiership and was the second highest goal scorer in the IDRU (Illawarra District Rugby Union) competition.
Along with being voted the senior winner for September, Huntington was also awarded the IDRU Player of the Year.
The 21-year-old, who started playing rugby union with Chevalier College in Year 7, has been asked to commence training with the Illawarriors Representative team in November.
In the meantime, he is enjoying the break from competition with some off season fitness training.
