The focus of the night was celebrating the club's best and fairest winners.
"The aim of the best and fairest night was to celebrate all of the achievements of not only what the winning players have done on the pitch," FC Eaglehawk president Ben Pengelly said.
"But of course a celebration for the whole club to appreciate what a fantastic year we've had."
The men's division one best and fairest was a tie between Jarrod Styles and Riley Hayton.
While it may not have been the first time the club had a tie, Pengelly said Styles and Hayton were stars both on and off the pitch.
"Both players are very deserving of the award."
The men's division one team won the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League grand final with a 2-1 victory over Strathdale.
The division two men's best and fairest winner was Zac Hasty.
The senior women's best and fairest winner was Charlotte Edlin.
"Charlotte has shown she is a great person on and off the field," Pengelly said.
"For someone of her age to win a best and fairest award is quite an honour."
The youth division best and fairest was awarded to Su Mu.
Other awards handed out on the night included the president's award John Johnstone, best clubman to Xavier Pearce and the gold award to Shane Eleveld.
"The past couple of weeks down at FC Eaglehawk have been fantastic," Pengelly said.
"Not only were we the Super Cup winners in the senior men's division, we have also received an important award from Football Victoria."
The club was given the 2019 partner organiser of the year award for its work on a game held during NAIDOC week to celebrate the Australian Indigenous community.
"We were lucky enough to be nominated for the award after the endless work undertaken by the club to get the historic game played on Bendigo's Queen Elizabeth Oval," Pengelly said.
"The ongoing working relationship with Football Victoria has been further enhanced by the partnership when undertaking this occasion."
Looking forward to the year ahead Pengelly said the club had several things in the works.
"There's a lot of positive vibes down at our club after such a great year,"
"We're all very excited with what we're going to bring to the league next year, it's going to be very impressive."
