Our Big V Division 1 Women held off Chelsea at Boroondara Sports Complex on Saturday night to deliver Rachel Jeffers (nee Bett) a hard-fought 61-57 win in her 200th Big V game.

On a night when Jeffers (pictured) became the first Dragons women's player to reach the 200-game milestone – and only the second player in club history – Camberwell didn't have it all its own way against a feisty Gulls team that didn't drop without a fight.

Tilly Grech finished with a team-high 16 points and captain Gemma Fyffe had 15 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals to lead the Dragons, who stretched their winning streak to four and closed the night in third place with a 6-3 record. Chelsea dropped to 2-6.

The D1 Women are back at BSC next Saturday for a 5pm date with Craigieburn.

While the D1 Women had to grind it out in a low-scoring game, our Championship Men shrugged off their slow start to the season to demolish visiting Sunbury in the second game of last night's double header.

In their most complete game of the season, the Dragons opened up a 25-18 lead at quarter-time and were never headed on their way to a 110-85 win.

American guard Sean Conway, making just his third appearance for Camberwell, punished the Jets with 39 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals on the way to registering his third straight double-double as the sweet-shooting Dragons put up their highest score of the season.

Lachlan Viney stepped up for the host, too, finishing with 25 points, four rebounds and six assists, while Mike Reeves continued his impressive form with 13 points and nine boards.

Next up for our Champ Men is a Big V Pink Round clash with Blackburn at BSC next Saturday night (7pm).
