Bibby has been named in division one while Cocks has been named in division two for their efforts both on and off the field with the Rebels, who received an inaugural V/Line Cup Team Development Award.
Of the 14 division one and two boys teams represented in the carnival, the Rebels secured the inaugural award for their efforts in overcoming challenges faced with bringing together a team from such a large geographic region.
The Rebels’ ability to place a high importance on providing opportunities for small towns within their region as well as their ability to host representative selection games leading up to the V/Line Cup was highlighted.
Their emphasis on teamwork was also recognised. The two were selected in the under-15 squad back in July, along with nine other Wimmera based players.
