The club managed a clean sweep for all sides to start the 2024-25 pennant season.
As well as three wins on the board, the club unveiled its new pennant uniform, which has been well received by members and supporters alike.
Yarra Glen Division 1 side recruited well in the off-season, with four new players in the starting lineup.
They travelled to Wantirna South, who were promoted from Division 2 last year.
Two winning rinks were enough to get the overall win and 14 points 94/76.
C. Carswell 24/28; S. Manifold 23/14; Beau Simmons 15/23; Ben Simmons 32/11.
Side 2 (Division 4) played Heatherdale at home, and after a slow start steadily built a lead and held on for a three-rink win and 16 points 96/54.
S. Smith 28/9; R. Thurkle 25/14; R. Bates 14/19; M. Ramage 29/12.
Side 3 (Division 6), also at home against Vermont South, claimed a 16-point three rink win 87/71, despite being one player short due to some late withdrawals.
A. Thurkle 20/18; L. Baker 12/25; Alan Skillern 29/7; D. McMenaman 26/21.
Midweek pennant round 1 starts Tuesday 22 October, with Division 2 at home against Heathmont, and Division 4 away at Boronia.
Go Yarra.
