2023 MLDFC AWARDS | JUNIORS

Congratulations to all of our Junior award winners for season 2023!

Our junior teams are all gifted a highly prestigious Lofty Legends Award donated by the Lofty Legends Group.

LOFTY LEGEND AWARD |
The Lofty Legends Group Team Award is a prestigious recognition aimed at supporting the culture of the club within the “One Club – All In” approach.  
Donated by the ‘Lofty Legends Group’ who continue to do an enormous amount of work around the club, including maintaining the premiership boards, organising reunion days, oval preparation during off season, and every week, tidying up the arena, blower vaccing, preparing the fire pit as a very brief example. They make the money for their group and these trophies by things like collecting cans from every home game and taking them to Scouts collection. 
It is presented to a player who, like the LLG, is dedicated to the team and the club and is heavily committed to their own improvement and that of the team and the club. They are also persistent and determined and treat everybody with respect, while respecting all aspects of the club.
It is selected by each team’s coaching panel and is donated by the Lofty Legends Group, which maintains the contact of former players, coaches, volunteers and supporters with the club, while supporting the club in various ways including maintenance and any other tasks required. 
The “Legends” term refers to the wonderful stories of the clubs in the areas which have gone before us – Aldgate, Crafers, Heathfield, Heathfield Aldgate United and Stirling.
