Jason Williams was rewarded for an outstanding year by winning Diggers Rest’s best and fairest award last week.
The swingman had an incredibly consistent season, booting 31 goals for the Riddell District Football League outfit and being named among his club’s best players in 12 of his 16 matches.
Diggers Rest coach Shaun Sims praised Williams for his hard work.
“He had a fantastic year,” Sims said.
“He did a lot of things right and has got what he deserved. He put in a lot of effort and was an assistant coach as well.
“Jason really pushed himself to improve. As a person, he also developed a lot over the year, which is great for him.
“That is a real success story from our season.”
While his home-and-away form was impressive, Williams produced some of his best work when his side truly needed it.
He booted a tally of 12 goals and was among his side’s best players in all three finals.
The award caps off a brilliant year for Williams, who was also named on the half-back line in the RDFL team of the year.
Cameron McCabe came second in the best and fairest count.
