"The club went into the league in 1958 and in the 18 years they were in it they played in 10 senior grand finals," Thomas said.

"When the reserve grade started in 1968, they played six grand finals in nine years and won five. They won the three years they were in the third grade as well."

Such was the success of Lavington in the 1970s, the club had three senior sides in the Tallangatta league in 1974, but one was disbanded to play in the Hume league for the next two seasons.
