Albion’s Troy Kelm has been announced as the Western Region Football League’s SEN Most Valuable Player for season 2014.
Returning to the WRFL after a number of seasons in the Central Murray Football and Netball League and Northern Territory Football League, 26-year-old Kelm has had a stellar season for the Cats, finishing with 32 votes ahead of Altona’s Jordan Robbins (28 votes) and Deer Park’s Shylo Smith (23 votes).
Now in its fourth year, the SEN Most Valuable Player Award recognizes the Western Region Football League’s best overall senior player in the Division One competition.
SEN 1116, became a major partner of the WRFL in 2011, providing advertising time on their radio station to allow the league to service existing sponsors and to attract new partners.
In return, the league provides SEN with the naming rights to the league's ‘Most Valuable Player’ Award which is awarded to the Division One player who is not necessarily the ‘best player’ but one who embodies leadership, versatility, ability to play under pressure, skill and courage, respect for all umpires and overall value to their team.
Voted on by the opposition coach each week throughout the home and away season using the 3,2,1 system, it is an award that recognizes those footballers who the players, coaches and league hold in high regard.
