NT Thunder’s Sebastian Guilhaus has tonight been recognised as the 2016 Clubman of the Year at the NT Thunder Club Champion Presentation Dinner at SKYCITY Darwin.

Head Coach Xavier Clarke said the 198cm ruckman was very deserving of the award. “Sebastian displays qualities that you would like to see in all of your players; he’s ambitious, determined, and very professional,” Clarke said. “He’s a unique character and a great bloke to have around the club.”

Fellow big-man Patrick Taban was awarded the Most Improved Award, recognising his development over the course of the season.

Tough onballer Matthew Rosier was presented with the Most Courageous Award while youngsters Michael Mummery (Rookie of the Year), and Ben Rioli (U23 Best Talent Award) also took home some silverware. Volunteers Alex Bisset and Sandra Wortlehock were awarded the Tony West Club Person of the Year Award for their remarkable passion and dedication to the NT Thunder Football Club.

Support group Thunderstruck presented two awards on the night with Thunder defender Aaron Longergan taking out the Thunderstruck Unsung Hero Award while Peter Leonard was awarded the Thunderstruck Unsung Volunteer Award.
