Our Big V Championship Men will enter the King's Birthday Weekend break in sixth place and within striking distance of the top four after holding off Gippsland United for a 90-85 win in Traralgon on Saturday night.

Brennen Burns (20 points, six assists and three steals) and Jackson Meshanic (20 points, 13 boards and three assists) led the way for Camberwell and Riley Simmons (pictured) added a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double for the Dragons, who outscored their host 21-13 in the third quarter after trailing by three at the half.

Daniel Powell also enjoyed a productive night for Camberwell, finishing with 13 points and five rebounds in just over 18 minutes as the Dragons improved to 3-2 over their past five games and closed Round 9 with a 5-5 record. They'll resume their campaign with a June 14 road date against RMIT (eighth, 4-5).

Also at the weekend:

– Eleni Valos led all scorers with 20 points and added six rebounds and four steals in a 70-54 loss for our Division 1 Women against Collingwood at BSC. Sian Gillam added a 10-point, 14-board double-double but the visitors put the game away with a 22-13 final quarter. Next up for the Dragons (4-6) is a June 13 clash with Whittlesea at Mill Park.

– Billy Barton showed the way with 19 points and nine rebounds and Jesse Macleod (15 points, nine boards) and Matt Marcun (15) combined for 30 points as our Youth League Men pulled away in the second half for a 73-62 win against Blackburn at BSC on Saturday night. Macleod added four assists for the Dragons, who seized control with a 20-7 third quarter after trailing the Vikings by three at half-time. Camberwell improved to 10-3 and is second behind league-leading Sunbury (12-1). The two teams will meet for the second time this season when they clash at Boardman Stadium on June 13.

– And our Youth League Women endured a tough weekend on the road, falling to Bellarine at Drysdale on Saturday night and to Frankston at Jubilee Park Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Jess Del Brocco led all scorers with 28 points, grabbed seven rebounds and had eight steals in a 69-62 loss to league-leading Bellarine, and had 19 points in an 83-54 loss to the Blues. Camberwell (6-9) will resume its season on the road against Whittlesea on June 13.
