Bennett polled nine votes to win the award and was congratulated by club president Tim Hillier.
“Brodie has been at the club since the beginning,” Hillier said.
“He had a great season as player and captain.”
It was no surprise to guests that Murray Valley Cricket Association C-Grade Cricketer of the Year Chris Pyle also won the C-Grade Best and Fairest at the Rhinos presentation night.
Pyle also started playing with the Rhinos when the club was formed, after previously playing with Blighty and Juniors in the former Deniliquin & District Cricket Association competition.

In the under-14s, two awards were presented for the Leading Run Scorer and the Leading Wicket Taker.
Charlie McCallum scored 123 runs with an average of 32 in six matches to claim the first of the prizes.
Matt Pitt scored six wickets for the season and was awarded Leading Wicket Taker.
The Deni Rhinos field three teams in the Murray Valley Cricket Association competition - A-Grade, C-Grade and Under 14s.
