The former Pigeons premiership player took over as coach this season and steered them to a 33-point win against Wangaratta.
Kaitlyn coached the Yarrawonga A-grade netball team to the flag in 2014 and is a multiple premiership player for the club.
“It is a great reward for the boys,” Cummins said.
He was recently awarded Coach-of-the-Year honours in the youth category.
They dropped two matches late in the season before going one better than runner-up finishes in 1998 and 2008 under the coaching of Neil Davis and Russell Ednie respectively.
STAYING AWAY: The Ovens and Murray grand final attracted only 4175 people to Lavington Oval on Sunday to see Albury complete another hat-trick of premierships.
POINT MADE: Lavington Panthers' banner had a dig at the Albury Tigers' benefactor, the Joss Group, before the grand final.
