‘A massive congratulations to Jack Fleming, Justin Petrie and the U14-3 boys for winning their regional grand final. They played Kilsyth 2 at Eltham High winning 40-35. Lachie Perillo was awarded MVP.

It has been an amazing year for the boys as they finished top of the ladder and won all 3 trophies for the year, including the Australia day tournament, Queens Birthday tournament and the season ending Grand Final. Jack and Justin have not only been fantastic coaches, but also great mentors for the boys. Everyone in the team (including the parents!) have had an amazing year and it has been awesome to watch the boys grow and improve.

Well done to all involved and the good luck to both coaches and the boys next season.’

On behalf of Diamond Valley, we congratulate all teams for their progress, and representation of the club deep into the VJBL finals series.
