8.58pm:  Colbinabbin defender Brydie Lawford has continued the Grasshoppers’ dominance of the Heathcote District A grade netball season by winning the league medal.

Lawford polled 31 votes on Wednesday night to win the medal for a home and away season in which the Grasshoppers went through undefeated.

Colbinabbin players have now won four of the past six A grade league medals, with Lawford’s success following recent triumphs by Olivia McEvoy (2012 and 2013) and coach Liz Cobbledick (2016).

In a remarkably consistent season, Lawford was awarded votes in 12 of the Grasshoppers’ 16 games, including eight best-on-courts.

At one stage Lawford collected all 12 available votes between rounds five and eight.

Lawford finished eight votes clear of White Hills’ Anna-Grace Close (23), while Leitchville-Gunbower’s 2014 winner, Jodie Lake (19), was third.
