Awards galore at 2022 Silver Medal Dinner spectacle
The 2022 Football NSW Silver Medal Dinner took centre stage at the Hyatt Regency on Friday 23rd of September as players, coaches, officials attended what was a fantastic evening acknowledging the achievements from the League One, Two and Three Men’s and League One Women’s competitions.
It was a fantastic season for both males and females as they got together in a monumental evening where over 580 guests attended with the night proudly presented by Daniel Garb.
Well over 40 awards were given on the evening with the Player of the Year selections the pick of the bunch.
It was all smiles considering this event was put on hold for two years due to COVID affected seasons in 2020 and 2021.
The League 3 Men’s competition saw a joint award given to UNSW FC’s Matias Da Silva Santos and Hawkesbury City FC’s Marco Turpeinen for their performances as voted by the clubs.
It was Inter Lions’ Oliver Green that dominated the headlines in the League Two Men’s competition as he played a pivotal in guiding his side to the Premiership.
Northbridge Bulls’ exciting attacker Tamires Souza was unstoppable in the League One Women’s competition as she picked up the Player of the Year award – it was her second award of the night as she also scooped the Golden Boot award.
While finally another joint award was presented in the League One Men’s competition with NWS Spirit FC’s Kota Odakura and Central Coast Mariners’ Lachlan Bayliss both being crowned Player of the Year winners in their respective competition. It was young Bayliss’ second award of the evening after picking up the Golden Boot also.
