BOORT midfielder Lachie Hall has been named the North Central Football League’s rookie of the year.
Hall was presented with his medal during Saturday’s league grand finals at Donaldson Park in Wedderburn.
The 17-year-old played 16 senior games in a season that saw the Magpies return to finals action for the first time in more than a decade.
Hall played on the ball, at half forward and on the wing and finished the season with 10 goals and was named in Boort’s best in seven games. Last month, Hall was named Boort’s rising star and finished third in the club best and fairest.
Hall made his senior debut with the Pies last season, coming through the club’s junior ranks.
Two-time league under 17 best and fairest Seb Zagame (Charlton), Sea Lake Nandaly’s Cruz O’Sullivan and Birchip Watchem’s Austin Dean were also nominated for the league rookie award.
