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 Ringwood District Cricket Association Girls teams made up the 150 players in the under-12, under-14 and under-16 teams.
Mount Evelyn took top honours in the under-12s against the RDCA Girls, Healesville defeated Launching Place in the under-14s and Mount Evelyn came out winners against Seville in the under-16 games.
