2006 Finley Awards - The Winners

Greetings All...
I have had several requests for the list on who won what at the recent ITA Finley Awards ceremony. Please note that I am no longer the 'official' publicist for the ITA, however on occasions the ITA do ask me to work on certain projects (including the Finleys)... I was all set to post the results up, however the efficient Kerri Hilton had posted the results in a reply to a thread.
So after several requests, here you are:
