Congratulations to President Peter CROXFORD and all his football and netball players, coaches, committee and support staff and supporters for the Kyabram Bombers to go back to back and be again the winners of the very prestigious George HUNTER Champion Club cup for Season 2009 which will be presented on the Morrison/Wellman vote count night on Monday 14th September.
This wonderful silver cup was introduced back in 1975 when the late George HUNTER from Euroa was so thrilled that his beloved Magpies were right up the top of the tree in football even though Euroa were defeated in the Seniors and Reserves Grand Finals. Over the years with the introduction of 4 x grades of netball, GVFL Life Member Mr HUNTER was insistant that netball be incorporated. This is a very prestigious award to recognise the success of a club in all grades of footy and netball. The allocation of points has also changed over the years but points have been awarded as follows over the last few years. Football - a SENIOR win equals 12 points, RESERVES and THIRDS wins are valued at 6 points. A GRADE netball wins are worth 8 points, B Grade, B Reserve and the 17 & Unders wins are worth 4 points. If and when we have a draw, the winning points are shared. Congratulations to Kyabram who also won this award in 1979, 1998 and 2008.
