Hayden Evans (pictured) was re-elected unopposed as Kyneton Football Netball Club president on Saturday afternoon, and he firmly believes the Tigers will go from strength to strength in 2023.

“Please share the excitement amongst the Kyneton community …. please continue to support our great club. We are on the rise,” Evans declared in presenting his report on the well-attended annual meeting held at the Kyneton Hotel.

He described 2022 as “a massive year” for the Tigers.

“The club has worked so well as a team and as a club we couldn’t be prouder of every single person who contributed in 2022,” he declared, before itemising a long list of achievements.

“We have been very busy and we strongly believe this will leave us in a much stronger position heading into the 2023 season.”

Evans singled out Nikki Young for praise on her first year in the role of club manager, stating “she has exceeded all expectations”.

“As we all know clubs like ours cannot function without the generosity and passion of our fantastic committee and army of volunteers.

“We are very lucky to have such a dedicated team driving the Kyneton Tiger train onward and upwards,” Evans declared.

In response to a question, Evans elaborated on the rationale behind the recent decision to transfer its senior women’s and junior football teams to the Riddell League next season.

Vice-president, Travis Prendergast.

General committee – Danial Murray (juniors’ president), Loryn Savoia (netball director), Ashleigh O’Gara, Charley Bracey, Jodi Prendergast, Natalie Korinfsky, Luke Beattie, Sarah Corea, Caitlin Thomson.
