ONCE again most of the Monbulk Friday night junior teams were washed out (despite the best effort of the players) to continue a disappointing season from a weather perspective.
Both Under 10s teams (including the Under 10s Maroon team – attached) did manage to brave the elements and complete some sort of game amid the puddles.
A reminder to junior families that Round 8 is to be replayed on Wednesday 10 February. Check Mycricket for details.
