Fingal Bay Rugby League Club’s successful season was celebrated at their presentation night on Saturday, October 7.

At the Newcastle Hunter Rugby League awards held the same night, Bomboras coach Bo Earl was voted coach of the year across the entire competition.

Bo did a magnificent job as player-coach for the Bomboras, taking them from B-grade premiers to A-grade premiers, building a tight-knit group that wanted to play for one another and showed commitment and tenacity across the season.

Award winners for the Bomboras presentation night were: Isaac Upton (best back), Cameron Scully (best and fairest) and Ash Graf (coaches’ award).

Ben Schnieder collected the players’ player award and, after a big season, best forward.
