More than 150 guests turned out at Dubbo RSL on Saturday night to see Shane Madden presented with the Ken McMullen Medal for his services to the club.

Madden has been an integral part of CYMS for 28 years, including 16 as a player and CYMS president Kevin Walkom said he was a deserving winner.

“Shane has been involved with the club for 28 years, starting off in juniors and winning several reserve grade titles, as well as playing in a first grade grand final,” he said.

“The Ken McMullen Medal is great recognition by the club of Shane’s years of service and commitment.”

Kaitlyn Mason was another of the stars on the night as she claimed the Robert Thompson Trophy for the CYMS Old Boys best player in all grades.

It was the first time the award had been won by a female player and Walkom said it was another fitting decision.

“It’s a great milestone and it reflects just how good a player Kaitlyn is. It is also great that in our 70th year, we have endeavoured to recognise the women’s involvement with our club and the game,” he said.

“I think it was unexpected for Kaitlyn but also very special.”

Jarryn Powyer took out the Boy Tipping Player of the Year, as well as the Ian O’Sullivan Trophy for the best forward.

John Grey was the Dan O’Sullivan Clubman of the Year, while Wade Kavanagh took out the John ‘Bumper’ Kennedy Memorial Trophy courage award.

Alex Bonham was presented with the Gerard Yeo Memorial Trophy for the best player in the final series and also a special guernsey to recognise his feat of scoring 64 points in a match. 

Luke Jenkins was another to be presented with a guernsey marking his achievement of 257 first grade games in Group 11.
