Jets grounded in mud

By KATH GANNAWAY

COVERED in mud, Mount Evelyn Under 16s walked off the Yarra Glen ground on Sunday with a 166-point win over a depleted Yarra Glen team. With four of their players donning the Jets jumpers to help out, the game was a victory for sportsmanship with both sides giving their all in a game where the ball landed with a thud and never recovered. Players pushed their way through ankle deep mud and mini lakes and, at times, unrelenting rain.
The win pushes the team up to second place on the ladder with 32 points, just four points below Emerald Black and ahead of Wandin who are on 28 and Healesville on 24.
