The presentation night, hosted by 2020 major sponsors Moree and District Services Club on Saturday, November 28, was an opportunity for the juniors, women's and men's teams, as well as sponsors, to celebrate the 2020 season.

It wasn't the season the Suns had hoped, with both the mens and womens sides finishing at the bottom of the ladder, while the under 17s had to withdraw from the competition halfway through the season due to a lack of numbers.

However the abbreviated 2020 season saw a strong start for the men who had a win in the early rounds.

The depleted under 17s side was unable to replicate their success from 2019, however showed promise for future years as many existing players were at the lower end of the age range with some years of development left.

After a year out of the competition, the women's side grew in strength throughout the season to have their strongest performance at the end and fielded the largest size team since entering the competition.

U17s stalwart Spike Clements, who has been a member since the first year of juniors, took out the B&W Rural Best and Fairest award in a tight race where several newcomers like Alex Lawrence and Kaeden Smith performed well.

Annette Hadley was awarded Best and Fairest for the women, after strong finishes from Colleen Fernando (also 2020 Leading Goal Kicker) and Shea Mitchell (women's Best and Fairest from 2018).

Senior Best and Fairest was a tie between captain Wyatt Roberts and second year player Brandon Barker.

Long-term members of the club were recognised with Wyatt Robers and Rob Kemp also being awarded for playing 50 senior games for the Suns, only the second and third players to do so after Zach Collier in 2019.

Often playing highly defensive game, the hard work of the backline was recognised with Best Back awards going to Tori Lockrey (women's) and Zach Collier (seniors).

Joint senior men's Leading Goal Kicker was Adrian Smith, who took out the award in 2019, and Daniel Brown, who played his first full season in seniors and had won the award for juniors the last two years running.

First-year player Colleen Fernando was the Leading Goal Kicker for the women, along with first-year under 17s player James Haines for the juniors.

Given the high representation of young players in the women's lineup, comprising approximately one quarter of the team, it only felt fair to recognise their contribution to the team in the absence of their own junior league with Talitha Mitchell being awarded Best Junior Player

Overall, the club is pleased with the results with a mostly new lineup for women and first-year coach, and a number of players from the under 17s playing their first full year with the senior mens, providing a platform to work on for 2021.

The club is also extremely grateful to their sponsors who supported the season and allowed them to put three teams on the field.
