The Halswell Hornets got a big haul of awards over the Senior and Junior CRL Prizegivings held on the first weekend of November. While CRL organised a fantastic dinner at Addington Raceway for the Senior Prizegiving on the Saturday night, the Juniors packed out the Papanui Tigers’ Clubrooms on the Sunday.

• Poore Cup (Club with the Most Premiership Points)
• Canterbury Development Team Most Valuable Player – Manu Weepu
• Canterbury Development Team Rookie of the Year – Jason Galland

• CRL Trophy for Best Presented 6yr Team
