JUNIOR YVCA cricketers packed the Mount Evelyn pitches on Sunday for the annual Super8 knock-out series.
The carnival atmosphere highlighted the emphasis on having fun but there was plenty of opportunity also to have a hard hit and build fielding skills in the lead up to the YVCA finals.
Host club, Mount Evelyn, along with Healesville, Seville, Wandin/Coldstream, Launching Place and the Ringwood District Cricket Association Girls teams made up the 150 players in the Under 12, 14 and 16 teams.
Mount Evelyn took top honours in the Under 12s against the RDCA Girls, Healesville defeated Launching Place in the Under 14 and Mount Evelyn came out winners against Seville in the Under 16 games.
