Coorparoo Cricket Club
Paul Stafford Medalists
The Paul Stafford Medal is awarded to the Coorparoo Best and Fairest Player. Paul was the President of the Club for many years and also served as President on the Sub Districts Association. He was also a key member in the transition to Bottomley Park from Giffin Park. Paul scored 1544 runs and took 127 wickets for
the club and won several premierships. Above all Paul had the sort of dedication and devotion that we should all be proud and thankful of.
Similar to the Brownlow medal in the AFL, votes are awarded on a 3-2-1 basis for each team for all rounds (not including finals). The voting system was first introduced in the 2002/03 season.
