Yarra Junction fall to Lilydale



Round Two Midweek pennant at home against Lilydale proved to be a battle, with Junction ahead early and at the break, but a comeback from Lilydale after the break clipped the wings of the Eagles.

With a win and a draw completed on two of the three rinks all eyes were on the third rink, with two ends still to play and hoping for a draw at a minimum.

Lilydale prevailed to take the win by four points.

Round Three v Donvale at Donvale is the next challenge.

Weekend pennant games were severely affected by the weather with both the Eagles’ games washed out as were most of the rest of the section’s games.

Sadly, the Cup Day Junction V Warby Ashes clash was also abandoned due to rain.

“RUSTIK” continues to run from the club premises every Thursday and Friday night for dinner, with great feedback from those who have sampled the different menus options each week.

Also available for private functions, events, Christmas parties by arrangement.

Contact Jason 0411 263 721 for enquiries and Bookings or follow Rustik on Facebook to stay up to date with menus etc.

The annual Community Lightning Cup will be run again this week for three weeks.

This is a great opportunity for local groups, clubs and businesses to get a team together for a short three week social competition in a friendly environment.

Contact Ian 0419 685 425 or Jason 0411 263 721 to get your team entered.
