In a year of exciting changes for the university club, where they ventured into the Woobridge Cup competition for the first time, Grabham and Farmilo were two key pieces of the Mungoes' charge towards finals campaigns.

The Mungals finished the season in fourth place on the ladder and the men's side were eighth, as both sides showed that they were well and truly competitive in a tougher arena.

As a bonus, Grabham picked up the player's player for the men's side along with his best and fairest prize.

Grabham, who leaves CSU for Sydney next year, said it's a great way to end his time with the club.

"To be recognised by your coach and your teammates for those awards feels really nice," he said.

"It always feels great when you're recognised by players who you want to play with every week. Player's player is a special award and winning best and fairest is great as well.

"We weren't sure how we'd go so it was great to make finals in our first year in a new comp. I feel like all the boys developed well, we stood up, we didn't have any paid players in our team and we had a great year all-round."

"The girls did a great job, coming fourth. They were a strong side with a lot of good players and they were a standout for the club. It was great watching them every week."

Grabham is one of several Mungoes who will leave the club in 2023 but he's hopeful that a great first season in the Woodbridge Cup will give the club a great platform to build off for the future.

"I'll be moving to Sydney and trying my luck up there and playing a bit of footy where I can," Grabham said.

"I know there's a lot of uni boys who are keen to keep it going. It's disappointing that we didn't get the win and our season came to an end in finals against Peak Hill but, looking back, I've got a bunch of great memories and mates for life out of it."
