FOLLOWING a season of success, Glen Alvie Cricket Club held its presentation night at The Clubhouse on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Glen Alvie\u2019s cricketers performed well across the 2025\/26 season, resulting in 13 invitees to the recent Leongatha and District Cricket Association presentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are one of the smallest clubs in the league and we were proud to have the equal highest number of invitees,\u201d Glen Alvie club president David Hynes said.<\/p>\n

Hynes congratulated the club\u2019s C Grade side, which competed in the grand final and conducted themselves extremely well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an enjoyable season. It was a pleasure to watch everyone evolve as individuals and as a team, and the next generation start to come through,\u201d Hynes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about the wins. It\u2019s about development, and it\u2019s something we\u2019ve been working on for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glen Alvie Cricket Club has been successful in its junior recruitment and is looking at having a standalone U17s side next season.<\/p>\n

Hynes congratulated the award winners on the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to see some old faces and some new faces amongst the awardees. <\/p>\n

They all absolutely deserve the accolades they get.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hynes will be stepping down as president, with a new president set to be elected at the club\u2019s annual general meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to see who steps up and where they take the club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecial mention goes to life member Pete Roberts, who is also stepping down after a continuous 20 years on the committee. If we don\u2019t step down, it doesn\u2019t provide space for someone else to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n
