A question on this - can this award only be won once?

Looking back at past winners the closest precedent is Dave Grennan and Dave McDonald winning it 1 1/2 times Each won it once on their own and also jointly in 2008.

Hi Paul,

In my opinion, it is all down to votes, so if someone is voted a second time, then it is because the voting parties deemed it so!

Seanie.

Thanks both, I have now cast my vote

Paul.

Only a few days left to cast a vote folks!



Seanie.
