Centuries, five-wicket hauls and fantastic fielding were among the most magical of moments, with the side's future getting a boost from the injection of youngsters into the team, too.
Cooper Gageler was perhaps the best example of this.
The 13-year-old stepped into the Silver team and arguably became one of their most important players as the season wore on.
He finished up, having bowled 35 overs, taken 10 wickets and notched up 38 runs which is an extraordinary effort for someone so young.
On top of his dazzling leg spin and classy stroke play, he provided some athletics in the field too, including a strong contender for catch of the season against Rouchel in round 16.
With one ball to go in the innings, Gageler was placed into first slip and proceeded to take a one-handed no-look screamer in his left hand off a rocket edge from Andrew Clydsdale, who was sitting on 163 at the time.
The rising star said it was a great experience and he even exceeded his own expectations.
"I didn't know how hard they were going to go at me but I guess I did better than I thought," he explained.
"It was really good, I got to face some quick bowlers, which was good because I'd never had the chance to face them before and I can't wait until next year."
His inclusion was a bright spark throughout the season and offered a glimpse into the damage he'll cause in years to come.
One man who is already causing damage is Silver captain Jarrod Watts, who finished the year fifth in the wicket-taking and first in the run scorers' category.
He amassed 349 runs across 14 games, with several stand out scores including a half century and a ton.
In round two, he made an unbeaten 53 against Murrurundi, including six boundaries, and then went even bigger the next week with 102 not out against eventual finalists Belltrees.
At that stage in the season his average was sitting at a gob-smacking 189 and his status as one of the competition's best, on his day, was solidified.
In regards to a late season drop off, he said it didn't concern him too much as he wasn't purely focused on results.
"I was a bit hit and miss," he added.
"I made a few ducks but I just wanted to have a bit of fun with the team this year and luckily I did that.
"I was in the zone early on.
"I sort of bat better when I haven't played for a while - and I just wanted to get out there and have some fun."
The other major player in the 2018-19 campaign was Dominic Cooper, who stormed home to take the most wickets.
Finishing on 25, he was incredibly on just 7 half way through the season but took bags of three, four and even a five-for on the home stretch to pinch the title.
One of those three-wicket hauls occurred on the final day of the season, where he pipped his captain Peter Turnbull to the award by a single dismissal.
He said it was a sweet feeling after going in level, but the whole situation somewhat sneaked up on him.
"It felt extreme, I was completely out of the running until four or five weeks ago and then a bit of help from the team put me up there," Cooper said.
"At the start of the season I was just a part-timer to hold up a few overs and that was it.
"That five-for, against Murrurundi, was the highlight.
"It really turned it around for me and was actually the first time I opened the bowling this year, so that probably helped me."
With Dom being 21, Jarrod 19 and, of course, Cooper just 13, the future of the club looks in very safe hands and this rebuilding year could easily be the start of something to behold.
