ROHAN SUMMERS MEMORIAL TROPHY

ELLIS LAMPREY SUPPORTERS AWARD
Dedicated to Ellis, this award illustrates as a club the importance of our off-field supporters as well as the players. Ellis was involved with the club as a player in the ‘City’ days and returned when his boys joined C.M.H.C. in the early 1980’s.His role in the club involved being a player, attending club meetings, representing the club, and Tasmania at state level (being the oldest player to represent state) and he donated a car to the club to assist with paying off McKenna Park debt. He was a mentor to players like David Guest who has since represented Australia, not to mention the many he has had a quiet word with regarding any aspect of their game. To those who did not have the privilege of knowing Ellis, please ask someone who does, as they are bound to have a story to tell regarding Ellis and the ‘red & white’. His commitment to and love of the CMHC leaves the recipient of this award to be commended on their support of our great club.
MOLLY COCK AWARD
