Weekly Advertiser | Newly crowned Horsham District Football Netball League Michele Mibus medallist Lavinia Fox is unsure where she finds her energy.

The Edenhope-Apsley player not only spearheads the Saints’ A Grade side at goal attack, but coaches the team – and does so while travelling to and from Melbourne each week to balance her commitments for the Victorian Netball League’s Southern Saints.

“I don’t know where I find the energy. I must be resting the whole week when I’m not playing,” Fox joked after winning the award at Monday night’s vote count at Coughlin Park in Horsham.

Despite the multitude of commitments on Fox’s plate, she polled 29 votes to win from Taylors Lake’s Kayla Kelm on 24.

With Edenhope-Apsley preparing to play in Saturday’s grand final against Rupanyup, Fox said her focus had been elsewhere, and the medal win had caught her off guard.

“I wasn’t expecting this at all. Initially I was a bit surprised, but I’m feeling quite excited and proud,” she said.

“I think it’s a big achievement. It’s the first time I’ve ever won a league best and fairest.”
