High point of stellar season

THREE Noble Park footballers booked their spots in the Eastern Football League’s Division 1 Team of the Year squad.
Rewarded for a stellar season – with the Bulls making the EFL grand final – high-marking forward recruit Brett Dore and midfielders Sam Monaghan and Stewart Kemperman earned their places in the 30-man squad, which is selected based on the votes of each coach in the EFL’s top division.
Kemperman was named as a half-back flank in the 2012 EFL team of the year, with Shayne Allan and Ziggie Alwan the other Bulls named to the team.
Noble Park was beaten in the EFL grand final by Balwyn in a 40-point loss.
