Beechworth captain Cam Fendyk has followed up his back-to-back Barton medal wins with a runner up finish in Monday night’s Tallangatta and District Football Netball League count in Albury.

Fendyk came third on total votes on 21, but due to leader Zack Leitch being placed on report when facing the Bushrangers during the year, he was ineligible for the award and put Fendyk in second.

It would’ve been Leitch’s second Barton medal win in a row having tied Fendyk and Barnawartha’s Jarrod Farwell for the award last year.

Rutherglen’s Marty Brennan was the winner with 25 votes and Bushrangers’ Tom Cartledge came in third with 20 votes.

Both Fendyk and Cartledge featured in the TDFL team of the year alongside teammate Degan Dolny.

Among the other grades, Beechworth’s Isobel Way came fifth in the vote count for the under 15s netball with 22 votes and Lily Neil came fourth in the under 13s, also with 22 votes.
