Mini Bash 6 U10
Yarra Junction v Healesville (Wesburn Park)
This week saw the return of junior in our younger age groups. Healesville travelled to Wesburn to take on Yarra Junction. Whilst there are no official results at this entry level junior competition, I believe Healesville where quite dominant in their performance and special mention to Loius Keath who performed extremely well with the bat this week.
