NO. 1 TICKET HOLDER TOPS WA MEDIA AWARDS

THE West Perth Football Club wishes to congratulate No. 1Ticket Holder Basil Zempilas on taking out the highest honour at the WA Football Media Awards last week.

The West Australian Football Commission and WA Football Media Guild hosted the annual WA Football Media Awards at Patersons Stadium last Tuesday night to recognise the season’s high achievers both on and off the field.

This included awards for online, print, radio and television media, WAFL and AFL players and coaches, as well as special awards for outstanding service.

The most prestigious award on the night is the Geoff Christian Medal for overall excellence in 2014 and that was presented to West Perth's very own No. 1 Ticket Holder Basil Zempilas.
