Player of the Year – A Unique Design

G.U.F.C. Women’s Premier League Player of the Year Award

The Village Jewellers is proud to sponsor The Gungahlin United Football Club’s inaugural Women’s Premier League player of the year award presented at the Senior Presentation night.

The Village Jewellers was asked to design a special award for the night to be awarded to a player who would be selected from one of the three Premier League teams as player of the year. The idea for the award was discussed over several cold winter nights while watching the premier league girls training at a windblown Nicholls oval.

As the teams had the collective name of the Suns the idea was to create an award that represented both the name of the teams and the game of soccer. To this end a two tone gold pendant was designed with a white gold soccer ball centre and a yellow gold outer sun ray silhouette.

LIzzie, Player of the Year 2011

The award was designed on a CAD system (Computer Aided Design System) and cast in two pieces.  The gold castings were then hand assembled and finished by our senior jeweller.

The winner, fifteen year old Lizzie, played for the U18 Women’s Premier League team for Gungahlin United Football Club.

Lizzie’s outstanding performance and attitude soon had her filling in for the Premier League Reserve and Premier League Teams during which she acquitted herself admirably.

She displayed dedication to the team and club and was always prepared to put in her very best in training as well as during her games.
