About 180 people filled Eastbank Centre in Shepparton to recognise and celebrate those who achieved sporting excellence and made a significant contribution to their chosen sport.
City of Greater Shepparton Sports Hall of Fame committee member Don Kilgour said 14 men and nine women were inducted, alongside 27 initial members who were inducted in 2017.
"I think the best thing about the night was everybody who was inducted was absolutely delighted to be recognised by the city for their efforts in sport," Kilgour said.
""It wasn't all sporting feats, not only the people who played the sport were inducted, but also the administrators of the sport who have done a lot for the success of sport in Shepparton."
Each of the inductees were presented with a certificate on the night by City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Kim O'Keeffe.
Kilgour said this year the inductees were split into senior and junior categories, ensuring those who achieved sporting success early in their career were also recognised.
"Four members were inducted into the junior roll of honour ... we wanted to recognise what they'd done as a junior," Kilgour said.
