The day the club’s showpiece team, its senior football outfit, defeated the second ranked team of the Goulburn Valley competition by a point in a thrilling finish sitting high above the GV Creamery Oval in the Wilf Cox Community Centre were several of its key sponsors.
Among them Ben Gledhill, GV Creamery Group operations manager, explaining how the company’s chief executive officer had approached the club with the idea of securing naming rights for the Kyabram Recreation Reserve oval.
GV Creamery started operation in January 2020 and has been going “gang busters’’ since then, recently purchasing the Fitzroy based St David’s Dairy brand to enhance the business which now has 45 employees.
Gledhill grew up in Mooroopna and played football for both Nagambie and Rushworth in the Kyabram District League.
He said while the GV Creamery was growing quickly they were extremely proud to be involved with the football and netball club.
Among the other sponsors at the event were Kyabram D-Pak, Kyabram Club, Albion Motors, Salters Motor Panel Repairs, Hinchliffe and Greed, along with Sheridan Partners and several other supporters of the club.
The club has been running smoothly off the ground with Guinan as president and thanks to new secretary Paul Shortis.
Shortis, whose son Oscar plays in the under-18 team and daughter Abbey is a netballer, has always been involved at junior level, but when the club called he answered.
He took on the role at the AGM in November last year.
