Guthrie success

Former Harrow-balmoral midfielder and home-grown Wimmera man Eric Guthrie has tied for the 2021-22 Nichols Medal, Northern Territory Football League’s highest individual honour.

Guthrie, the Southern Roos’ 2019 bestand-fairest winner, tied with Nightcliff Tigers’ Daniel Bowles for the Territory’s league best-and-fairest medal on 14 points. It was Guthrie’s first season in the NTFL.

He joined Palmerston Magpies, formerly North Darwin, for the 2021-22 season and is the club’s first Nichols Medal winner since the name-change in 1996.
