MIDFIELDER, Tamara Smith has been acknowledged as the Murray Bushrangers Girls Best and Fairest in season 2018 during a special Best and Fairest Dinner held in Yarrawonga recently.

In front of a healthy crowd, unanimous applause greeted the announcement of Smith as the Best and Fairest player for the Bushrangers. Smith was emotional in accepting the award; with an emphasis on her teammates being a key reason behind her season.

Another highlight of the evening was player, Chelsea Knight performing two original songs to the packed room and brought huge applause for her performance. A talented performer on the field, she showcased her music which has seen her win many awards and recently tour the United Kingdom.

Guest speaker for the evening was Iilish Ross; the first Murray Bushranger to be drafted to the AFLW with Pick 13 last year.
