Come watch a memorial cricket match between local rivals Yarra Junction and Powelltown in memory of the late Jeff ‘Joffa’ Long next month.
Jeff sadly died last year at the age of only 63 and his loss was felt throughout the Upper Yarra, particularly at the Yarra Junction and Powelltown Football Netball and Cricket Clubs, having represented both townships across as a footballer or cricketer in his life.
The game will be held at the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve on Sunday 4 February starting at 9.30am, with a Yarra Valley Veterans game to follow at 12.30pm.
Jeff never stopped playing cricket, even finishing his final season with another premiership medal at Powelltown.
