C Grade

The Yarrawonga Mulwala Cricket Club took to the field with sadness; after the passing of 2020/2021 YMCC C Grade Premiership player Sean McLarty.

All teams across the club wore black armbands as a mark of respect and a blue armband to raise awareness of stomach cancer.

The C Grade Lakers have scored a 37-run victory over Rovers United Bruck in round 4 WDCA action.

Batting first the YMCC scored 9 for 139 from 36 overs with Adam Dodd leading the way with 67 runs, while Steve Lappin scored 26 and opener Josh Bozzola 22.

With the ball, the Lakers were able to re- strict Rovers United to 8 for 102 from their 36 overs.

Mark Ramano led the way taking 2 for 22 off 4 overs, with nine bowlers used across the day.
