"This is unreal," he said.

"Playing with a lot of friends and family is great. I've only ever played for this club and to win the comp was special."

Gray also dedicated his win to the memory of former Gerringong player Danny Morse, who died last week.

Long-time Jamberoo Superoos administrator and committee member Connie Dallas was acknowledged for her hard work with the Harold Alcock Memorial Trophy, which recognises outstanding contributions to the game.

"I feel very honoured," she said.

"It was very much a surprise, but this tops off a great year for the club. It was our first year back (in first grade) and it was great to go as far as we did."

Greenwell Point Pirates skipper John Carey won the Athol Noble Medal (for the Regan Cup Player of the Year) capping off a great year for his side, which included claiming back-to-back premierships.

Other award recipients included Kiama Knights lock James Gilmore (Bill James Trophy for Under 18s Player of the Year) and 17-year-old David Catterall from the Gerringong Lions, who received the St George-Illawarra Dragons Trophy for being the Under 21s Player of the Year.
