Ace Adama led the way with 15 points and three steals as our Youth League Men continued their strong start to the Big V season with a 92-71 road win against Blackburn at Mullum Mullum Stadium on Sunday.

Owen Ireland added 14 points (on 7-of-9 shooting) and six rebounds in 19 minutes and Jesse Macleod had 14 points, five boards and four assists for Camberwell, which took control of this one with a 28-15 second quarter and never looked back on the way to its third straight win.

Camberwell improved to 3-0 and closed Round 2 in second place behind also unbeaten Sunbury (3-0) and ahead of McKinnon (2-0) and Bendigo (2-1).

In other Dragons Big V action over the weekend:

Eleni Valos (below) finished with a game-high 19 points, nine rebounds, seven steals and three assists to lead our Division 1 Women to a 53-46 road win in their season opener against Collingwood. Anna Burrows added a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double for Camberwell, which needed a 13-8 final quarter to shake off its host.

And our Youth League Women dropped back-to-back games, against visiting Bellarine at BSC on Saturday night and on the road against Western Port on Sunday. Gemma Watson (below) had a team-high 22 points in a 67-59 loss to Bellarine, while Mia Demarte closed with 14 points, six rebounds and eight steals in a 51-47 loss at Western Port.
