Scoullar won by a good margin of three points, securing a vote from all five judges.

It almost replicated his record 34 votes in the Riverina Football League's first grade best and fairest count, which earned him the August senior prize earlier in the year.

The 203cm big man is now in Deniliquin due to work commitments, but returned for the presentation night just hoping to catch up with the friends he made during his year here.

"To come here tonight was great, but to win it was an honour," Scoullar said.

"I was just really proud to be a part of the town last year.

"I wasn't expecting anything (on Saturday).

"I was coming to catch up with people I hadn't seen for a while and to win was a proud moment."

Scoullar is currently training with a club in Deniliquin, but said he would love to play another season for the Crows and be part of the community again if only he lived closer to Leeton.

Hayden, who took out the Junior Sportsperson of the Year, could not be there on the night as he is in training with the Wests Tigers.

The reigning Group 20 under 18s player of the year was picked up by the NRL club to play in the under 18s SG Ball competition and has signed on for the national under 20s competition.

Leeton Greens president Steve Preston accepted the award on Hayden's behalf and said he was a deserving winner.

"As far as dedication goes, you have to sacrifice a lot of things and Hayden is one kid who is prepared to make those sacrifices," Preston said. "He's always wanted to go to the NRL and it won't be through lack of commitment.

"He was only 17 in the under 18s last year and to go and win the club best and the group best was a great effort. He got a bit of first grade experience as well.

"He's down there now and he's doing all he can. He's a good kid too and a good team player and he leads by example.
