Oliver Stella (Old Trinity), Austin Hodge (Old Trinity), Hamish Dick (Old Brighton), Cooper Leon (Old Carey) and Sam Cameron (St Kevin’s OB) have been shortlisted for the men’s competition after standout seasons for their respective William Buck Premier clubs.

Tayla Nichols (SKOB Saints), Isabella Hayes (Old Trinity), Amelia James (Scotch Stars), Madi Capsalis (Old Mentonians) and Georgia Wilson (Old Xaverians) are the five still in the running to claim the Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star Award.
