Max Earle Sportsmanship Award
To honour the late Max Earle, a stalwart of the VBSA City Clubs Circuit since its inception in 1990 for the Naval & Military Club and the RACV Warriors, the team captains have voted to institute a Sportsmanship Award bearing his name. At the conclusion of every match, each captain will nominate on the scoresheet a player from the opposing team who best displays the principles of sportsmanship and fair play. Thanks to Jamie Gray for donating the Max Earle Trophy.
