Thames Valley Rugby Union held their senior prizegiving on Saturday night.
The event celebrated the individuals who made the two teams that won the Meads Cup in the men’s Heartland Championship and came runners-up in the North Island Heartland Women’s competition.
It was a massive season for both the Thames Valley Vixens and the Thames Valley Swamp Foxes.
The players and management came together to recognise this at the Thames Rugby & Sports Club.
Martin was named Player of the Year, Forward of the Year and Loan Player of the Year while Morgan was named Most Valuable Player and Iron Man, alongside Toddy Doolan.
Hinemoana Collier was the Vixens’ Player of the Year while Ava Batie had a standout first season to secure Rookie of the Year.
Batie is a member of the host club and they took to Instagram to congratulate her.
“Well done to all to our players and whānau in coaching/management positions for a great season and special shout-out to Ava, who took out the Rookie of the Year Award for her first year with the Vixens!”
