Round 18 DUO CLOSE GAP
EAST Perth’s Zach
Beeck and West Perth’s Brad Murray are closing the gap on Network Ten Rising
Star Award leader Clint Jones from South Fremantle.
In a tight
contest that is promising to go down to the wire, Beeck and Murray each picked
up votes in Round 18, while Jones missed out.
The Rising Star
award is judged each week by a panel of football journalists who collectively
will attend each match before voting on a 3-2-1 basis.
To be eligible
for the award, players must have played eight league games or less at the start
of the 2003 season and must be aged 21 or under at the end of the home-and-away
season.
West Coast and
Fremantle rookie list players are able to win the award unless they are
promoted onto the senior list during 2003. Players who are suspended by the
tribunal during the home-and-away season will also be ineligible.
The presentation
of the award will be conducted at an end of season function hosted by Football
Budget publishers Wright Media.
