Rockingham captain Ryan Tyrrell has won the 2008 PG Hampshire Award for the best & fairest player in the KWIK Transport & Crane Hire WA Premier Grade Rugby competition.
The versatile forward received the gong to a standing ovation at the annual RugbyWA awards evening at Burswood last night.

The 24 year old continued to mount his bid for a professional contract with an outstanding campaign with Rockingham, with whom he has played for since his junior days.
