LES ASH MEDAL

Les Ash could well be named the Father of Bellarine and District Football, for it was his leadership of a committed group of Bellarine Club officials that brought the dream to reality.

Les turned his hand to football administration after a distinguished playing career with the Leopold Football Netball Club.

Les was also a life member of the Bellarine Football League. After several years of intense representations, V.C.F.L. investigations and endless meetings, the decision was handed down in late 1970 by the V.C.F.L. that a new League, to be known as the Bellarine & District Football League, would be formed and it would commence competition in Season 1971.

Les was elected the inaugural President of the B.&D.F.L. and immediately embraced a netball section to enhance the family day atmosphere.

BELLARINE NETBALL MEDAL

The prestigious BFNL Medal will be awarded to the Best & Fairest players in the Bellarine Football Netball League across A, B, C, D, and E Grade Netball Competitions. 

This accolade recognises the player who has been deemed the most outstanding within their respective grade, as determined by the AFL Barwon netball umpire panel.
