Ladies and gentlemen wore their Saturday best and enjoyed a lunch prepared by the Cockys Wife at the rugby club to celebrate the end of a fantastic football season.
Beer and champagne was flowing freely as the club's most dedicated and talented were awarded in the afternoon.
Bogan Bulls President Ange Kennedy reflected on the season and it's "roller-coaster" of a ride.
"Some really great wins and highlights on and off the field," she said.
"Some of the key moments for me this season were the comebacks from Broomey and Big Mike and although Peter's season was cut short, it really meant a lot to me to have you guys back and I think it motivated some of the other players early on in the year, because you bring so much to the club.
"We welcomed Christo into the Bulls family, and how lucky were we to get such a champion both on and off the field. Maybe we can persuade him for one more season?
"We quickly became dubbed across the zone as the international barbarian Fijian Bulls, with out Fijian boys also joining the Bulls family."
"...the win at Gular with such determination and heart by our guys, and the comeback against Coonamble in the final, so many highlights."
The club president thanked the players and supporters for their hard work, and the committee for being "a great team off the field" throughout the year.
"I'm so incredibly proud to be involved with this club. Totally obsessed at times, and completely biased, but it gives me so much joy and pleasure, and even though we didn't win, in my opinion we're still the best," Kennedy said.
This year also saw the presentation of the inaugural captain's cap to this year's captain Tom Cleaver.
"For me one of the most pivotal roles is that of the club captain. He has almost legend status in my opinion, he has the upmost respect for everyone, motivates and builds morale of the team," Kennedy said.
"[He] is the kind of player on the field that other teams hate because he plays with such heart, but off the field is actually the envy of all other clubs because of what he gives."
