The 2026 NWSF Awards Night was held on Friday 18 September at Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club, to celebrate the 2026 season in the North West Sydney Football region.
In addition to awards for Premier League, Super League, and general club achievements, five Association Medals were given to members of our footballing community who have shown exceptional dedication to their clubs, going above and beyond what is expected of them.
A Special Community Commendation Award was given to the Beecroft FC and Redbacks FC All Age Mixed Division 3 teams, in recognition of the sportsmanship, compassion, and community spirit they demonstrated after the tragic passing of Redbacks player Peter Flook.
