Chloe Gilcrist named best and fairest for CDHBU this season

The 20-year-old edged out runner-up Courtney Haigh after moving from goals into centre this season.

"That was a bit different," Gilcrist said.

"Obviously there were a few things I had to learn, like where to place myself, but I think I was able to read the shooters quite well and knew in the end where they wanted the ball placed."

Gilcrist grew up playing for the club, before moving on to have stints at Tallangatta and District Netball Association sides Rutherglen and Wahgunyah, returning to the Power in 2019.

"It was nice to change leagues and see what they had out on court," she said.

CDHBU finished the season in 10^th spot with four wins.

Gilcrist said there were signs of improvement.

"The ladder may not have shown how well we played, but we all just gelled," she said.

"Considering we had so much time off, it just felt like we went straight back into it pretty easily."

Gilcrist is set to line-up for Power again next season.

Lily Crawford edged out Laura Duncan to claim the club's B-grade best and fairest award, while Natalie Walker took out the prize by one vote from Amarni Taylor in C-grade.

Emma Klapish and Melissa Stevenson shared the honour in C-reserves and were followed by Megan Aitken.
