Massive congratulations to our man Esi Komaisavai on winning the Billy Wallace Best & Fairest for the 2025 club season. It caps a huge 12 months for him following on from being Horowhenua Kapiti's Heartland Player of the Year for 2024, and carrying through to his record-breaking 19 tries in the Swindale Shield and making his much-deserved debut for the Lions. He also succeeds Sam Clarke, who won this (jointly) last season.

In addition, the club won the Dewar Shield for the highest average aggregate of competition points across all grades, and club stalwart Denys Latham was acknowledged for his lifetime contribution to the game in Wellington
