LEADING by example has paid off for Cats captain Diarmid Cleary, who earned Best and Fairest for the Casterton Sandford football seniors on Saturday night.

After he already topped the Cats cohort and came third overall in the Western Border’s Best and Fairest tally, Cleary locked in the club’s top prize with 51 votes, even after having battled injury through part of the season.
