The team for the JG Craig Shield representative tournament to be played in January has been finalised.

This is an annual event for Victorian Sub District Association Clubs. It was formerly known as the RM Hatch Under 14 competition and has been held since the 1968/69 season.

Yarraville CC has made the Grand Final on one occasion only, losing to Moorabbin in the 1972 final.

Only twice in the last decade has Yarraville CC progressed to the knockout/ final stages, and the challenge is made to this year’s team to end this ‘drought’ and as a minimum be one of the two qualifying teams from the Western division.

Please congratulate the following boys (home junior club in brackets):

Henry Pasque (Williamstown CYMS)
Japjot Singh (Yarraville)
Kade Sheather (Yarraville)
Krishav Gupta (Williams Landing SC)
Kuber Malik (Burnside Springs United)
Mick McMahon (Yarraville)
Mitchell Slattery (Williamstown Imperials)
Oliver Denning (Yarraville)
Shashank Chander (Burnside Springs United)
