Kimber’s win completed a full set of league medals in south west Gippsland, following previous wins in the Alberton Football Netball League’s Peter Moore Medal (2015) and Ellinbank and District Football League’s Alf Walton Medal (2012-13) – the latter while wearing the teal, red and black of Cora Lynn.
The 33-year-old has long been revered for his fearless attack on the ball and, having played a key role in Phillip Island’s flag in his first year at the club, Kimber will be chasing more team glory on Saturday when Phillip Island contests the grand final at Garfield Recreation Reserve.
