🧡🖤 2026 YOUTH BEST & FAIREST | PHOTOS 1/4 🖤🧡
We’ve finally made our way through all of the photos from our 2026 Youth Best & Fairest - and with so many beautiful moments captured throughout the evening, there were simply far too many not to share!
So many, in fact, that you’ll be seeing them across four posts. 😂🧡
Before we fill your feeds with photos, we want to take the opportunity to properly thank the many people and businesses who helped make this such a special celebration of our Youth players and their 2026 season.
A huge thank you to Megan, who put an incredible amount of time and work into organising the evening, with the wonderful support of Keri. So much happens behind the scenes to bring an event like this together, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you both contributed.
Thank you to our President, Annie Cane, for hosting the evening, and to Janet Gatehouse Sorell Mayor for once again so wonderfully MCing our five Youth Best & Fairest counts.
To Ninja Stadium and their fantastic staff, thank you for welcoming us and looking after our players, families and volunteers throughout the evening.
A very special thank you to our 2026 Youth Best & Fairest Event Sponsor, DC Plumbing & Excavations, whose generous support helped us bring the evening together.
We were also incredibly fortunate to have the support of our Trophy Sponsors:
🧡 Wicked Workwear Pty Ltd
🧡 Raine & Horne Sorell, Tasman & East Coast
🧡 Dunalley Hotel Tasmania
🧡 Tas Sports Physio
🧡 Richmond Pharmacy
🧡 Psyche Mental Health Centre
🧡 DC Plumbing & Excavations
Thank you to Blossom Hire for the absolutely beautiful photo backdrop and table decorations that helped transform the room, and to Smiths Awards for once again being such a friendly, reliable provider of our trophies and player medallions. We are so grateful to have wonderful local businesses helping us celebrate our players.
Thank you also to our Sponsorship Coordinator, Shayla, for the work she puts into building and maintaining the relationships with the businesses who support our club.
To Taylor, Josh and Hayden Gregory, thank you for continuing to share such an important part of Finley with our club through the Spirit of Finley Gregory Award. Having you with us again this year was incredibly special, and a particular thank you to Hayden for standing up in front of a very full room to present the awards to our five recipients. 🧡
And finally, to every coach, assistant coach, team manager, committee member and volunteer who gave their time throughout the season and helped make the evening possible - thank you.
Most importantly, thank you to our Youth players and their families.
The awards are only one small part of this night. It is an opportunity to bring our Youth teams together, celebrate an entire season of football, recognise individual achievements and acknowledge the friendships, commitment, teamwork and memories made along the way.
We are incredibly proud of our Youth program and all of the people who make it what it is.
Now… after several weeks of filtering, choosing and editing, it’s finally time to share the photos! 😂
Enjoy Part 1 of 4 from a very special night celebrating our 2026 Giants Youth. 🧡🖤
