BIG V GAME DAY PROGRAM VYCW FINALS & ROUND 19


WELCOME
Welcome to a big weekend of basketball at the Swamp.


Our YVE Senior Women host Collingwood in an important clash. The Women are coming off a big win against ladder leaders Warrandyte last weekend and a win will potentially secure a home final next weekend.
Our ASC Shoring Senior Men travel to Bulleen for their elimination final. After coming up from Division 2, the Men are looking to go back to back and will look to draw on their finals experience to ensure they can go the journey in their finals campaign.
Our Accelerated Concrete Sawing Vic Youth Championship Women will look to bounce back from a tough loss last week in a must win final against the Dandenong Rangers. They will need the Gator’s family to get them across the line in this all important game.
As the season draws to a close, we would like to thank everyone who allows Game Day run smoothly from our incredible Game Day Commissioner, Appollonyah, the score table and stats led by Christine and our game day announcer Hunter and videographer Nash, as well as our wonderful door staff and Kelly for her tireless work organising the uniforms.
Make sure you cheer loud gator’s family. Let’s finish the season well!
