Highlighting the hard work each Swans side put into the 2021 season, the night was a welcome reminder of how much the club had achieved during the year despite its unfortunate end at the hands of COVID-19.

Brayden Avola took home best-and-fairest honours for the seniors, winning a tight count from equal runners-up Kyle Maynard and Jack Myers.

In the A-grade netball side, Georgia Velt came away with the best-and-fairest award, while Nikki Lord finished runner-up.

The quest for 2022 success begins on Wednesday night with pre-season football training beginning at 6.30pm, while netball training starts at 5.30pm Thursday.

The Avenel Football Club is calling for junior players in the under-13s and under-18s.
