The Lesley Dandy Award - Penny O'Leary
This Award goes to people that contribute to the club off the court in an outstanding and sustained manner which is why Penny has won the award this year. It is Timbertruss's 10th year of sponsorship at Pivot and Penny is a driving force behind this company and a key reason why they sponsor Pivot. Not only has Penny driven the sponsorship which helped right our club in moment of need but she has supported our great club in many ways and never sought recognition so our club would like to put her name on this award to ensure the records show the club has appreciated her contribution.
Life Member - Rob Aherne
Life membership comes after 10 years of outstanding on court and/or off court contribution to Pivot. It is a little late for Rob who has 13 years of coaching and off court contribution to Pivot and they have been wonderful years. Rob has coached at all levels to great success and spent time on the Committee. Rob will be fondly remembered as he retires from domestic basketball this year as a winner.
