The U17 grading games have been released, with our reigning champions set to play Melton Lions Cricket Club and Yarraville Club Cricket Club in a pair of one-dayers before their first two-day game in three years against Aintree Cricket Club at home.

The premiership defence kicks off this Friday night, as the team eyes a third flag in four years!

Other grades are still to be confirmed, with further updates to come.
