The Islander goal kicking awards went to Rick Morris in the A grade and Daniel Dunstan in Reserves.

Wisanger veteran David Neave was presented with an award for his astonishing 500-game milestone.

Parndana wont the club award.

A special presentation was made to young Kangaroo Island player Luke Bowd, who played his debut game for South Adelaide’s league side in the SANFL recently. It was collected by his father Gavin.

MC Wayne Phillips proved a popular choice again and guest speakers and former AFL players Tony Modra and Shaun Smith provided great stories for the crowd.
