NATHAN Ross last night became the 15th New Norfolk footballer to win the William Leitch Medal. The medal has moved between competitions since it was introduced in 1930 but remains Tasmania's best-known best and fairest award.
At age 19, Ross has emphatically etched his name into the long and proud history of the New Norfolk District Football Club. The small forward/midfielder kicked 58 goals this season and gave four best-on-field performances.
At the Southern Football League awards night at Glenorchy on Monday, Ross won player of the year awards from WIN Television and the Huon Valley News in addition to the William Leitch Medal.
Mercury football reporter Brett Stubbs writes that Ross will be key contributor in New Norfolk's grand final battle with Kingborough this Saturday. Read the Mercury newspaper's report here.
