One of the most sought after individual honours in Goldfields football is the Fyson Medal, awarded for the best afield in inter-league fixtures and league grand finals.
The medal was introduced in 1981 by Goldfields businessman Chris Fyson as an incentive for local players to represent the Goldfields and to recognise outstanding performances.
The inaugural winner was former Kambalda champion ruck-rover Kim Anderson for a superlative display in the Eagles' grand final victory over Kalgoorlie in 1981.
There are six dual winners of the award.
Glenn O'Loughlin won his first medal in 1982 and another two in 1988, while Mines' Alby McKenzie took out the award in 1991, 1993 and again in 1995.
Boulder's Bradley George won successive medals in 1990/91 and another Tiger in Michael Miller won the medal twice in 1994 (v. Eastern Districts in an inter-league fixture and against Mines in the grand final).
The fifth dual winner is Mines' Craig Hoycard, with a grand final double in 1993 and 1996, and the latest is his Diorites teammate Rob Hansen with successes in 1998 (Great Southern Carnival), 2001 (GFL grand final) and 2002 (GFL - Wesfarmers Carnival).
The latest recipient is Mines' Nathan Mourish, who was adjudged Goldfields' best player at the 2003 Wesfarmers Country Championships in Perth.

Great Southern Carnival:-
Goldfields first competed in the historic series in 1995 and hosted the carnival in its centenary year (1996), when both the league and colts representative teams were runners- up.
In 1997 the GFL colts team coached by Conan Wheatcroft won the championship and repeated the success the very next year.
Conan has been a great servant of Goldfields football in his capacity of coach of the representative colts
teams.
For the 2003 campaign he was succeeded as coach by Ian Dunstan, whose team did extremely well despite not qualifying for the grand final.
The Brian Macgregor Award for the colts fairest and best player in inter-league fixtures was introduced to coincide with the 1996 Great Southern Carnival held in Kalgoorlie- Boulder.
It was later expanded to include the Wesfarmers Country championships, in which Goldfields participated up until last year. Wesfarmers has since been dropped from the GFL’s inter-league colts program.

KREPP MEMORIAL CHAMPION CLUB AWARD |
| |
In 2001 the system for deciding the award was changed to reflect the performances of the clubs at both senior and junior levels of competition.
Premiership points earned in the top two divisions of the junior competition and those in the three divisions of senior football are calculated on a weighted points system to determine the champion club.
In 2002 Railways won the senior award for the sixth time with 282 points from Mines (276), Boulder (188), Kalgoorlie (184) and Kambalda (76).
The 2003 champion club is Mines.
The award was introduced in 1976 and has been won on 10 occasions by Kambalda, nine by Mines, twice by Kalgoorlie and once by Boulder.
This handsome trophy is carved from original timber used in the famous Bayley's Reward Gold Mine in Coolgardie.

GOLDFIELDS SETTLEMENTS LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD |
| |
The Goldfields Settlements Milton Cairnduff Memorial League Rookie of the Year Award was introduced in 1985 and is one of the most sought after individual honours in Goldfields football.
Last year a special judging panel was handed the daunting task of selecting a winner from record field of 13 nominees, which is indicative of the host of talented youngster competing with distinction at league level.
Since its inception, the award has been dominated by Mines and Railways, who have respectively provided the winner on eight and seven occasions..
The other three are shared by Boulder and Kambalda and before last year Kalgoorlie had yet to provide the top rookie.
This was rectified by the selection of Ryan Silvester as the 2002 League Rookie of the Year.
This year Mines' Cameron Allen was the unanimous choice of a special selection panel. |
| |
GILL SMASH REPAIRS MINOR LEAGUE PREMIERS AWARD |
| |
Neil Gill introduced a $1000 cash incentive for the club taking out the league minor premiership in 1998 and it has been shared between four clubs since.
The initital award went to Boulder, while the 1999 winner was Kalgoorlie before Railways took it out in 2000 and again in 2001 from Mines because of a superior for and against percentage.
However, the Diorites were unchallenged in the 2002 season and completed the qualifying series undefeated to win the award for the first time. |
| |
DICK ROBINSON LEAGUE GOAL-KICKING AWARD |
| |
In 2000 the GFL Commission introduced a special award to recognise the leading goal-kicker in the league competition and thought it fitting it should reflect the outstanding record of former Railways champion goalsneak Dick Robinson.
Dick still holds the league record for most goals kicked in a season - 139 in Railways' undefeated season in 1974 - and holds a special place in the proud history of Goldfields football.
A special medal is now awarded annually, along with a $300 cash component generously donated by local real estate firm John Matthew and Sons.
In 2002 the award went to Mines’ Rob Hansen, who headed the goal-kicking with 58 - one more than Railways’ Kody Kelman, who topped the list in the previous two seasons.
This season Mines' Ritchie Bourne figured in a keen tussle with Kelman before runnning away with the award with 72 goals.
The leading Reserves goal-kicker was Mines' Darrah Doutch with 41 and the Diorites completed a treble when Jed Grantham kicked the most majors in the colts competition (35). |
