The Melton Toyota Riddell District Football & Netball League, in conjunction with award sponsor Dome Security, are pleased to announce the nominations for the Steve Turner Medal - RDFNL Dome Rising Gun Award for Round 4 of the 2016 RDFNL season.
Steve Turner is a name synonymous with junior football in the north/western metropolitan areas. Steve is a Life Member of the Riddell District FNL who has held many roles within the league, including a stint as Football Operations Manager and on the RDFNL Board. In 2016, Steve once again sits on the RDFNL Board.
Round 4 - James Wooster - Lancefield
After playing his junior football with Lancefield and representing the RDFNL at interleague level, James returned to the club this year as a hard-attacking midfielder.
With the unavailability of junior teams, James played his football elsewhere, returning to the team and being one of the best players in his first game.
James had a stand-out performance in round four in Lancefield's win over Romsey, an effort he has repeated on a number of occasions throughout the season.
He was once a classy, goal kicking player as a junior, and he has now grown into a more mature player with great decision making and foot skills.
James finished the home and away season having played 13 games and kicking six goals. He was named in the best in his final four games.
To be eligible for the Steve Turner Medal, players must be under 23 years of age, and have played less than 15 senior games prior to the start of the 2016 season. Players must have played junior or Under 18.5 football in the RDFNL, and have made themselves available for selection in RDFNL Interleague Programs. Macedon's Jason Cooke won the award last year.
