Camberwell Dragons Youth League Men's team hits the road to Melbourne University tonight on a mission to stretch its Big V season-opening winning streak to three.

Acelin Adama (pictured) and the Dragons opened their campaign with back-to-back wins last weekend, edging McKinnon in double-overtime on the road on Saturday night before holding off Sunbury in front of a big crowd at Balwyn High School on Sunday.

Guard Matt Marcun led the way with 27 points (on 6-of-8 shooting from the three-point line) and six rebounds against the Cougars, while Jesse Macleod stepped up with some big plays late to put the Jets away – Macleod closing with a game-high 20 points, six boards and three steals.

Game time tonight against Melbourne Uni (0-1) at Nona Lee Sports Centre is 6pm.

Tonight's is the first of two games this weekend for the YLM, who'll call on Coburg at Coburg Stadium on Sunday. That one against the Giants will get under way at 3pm and is the second game of a double header also featuring our Youth League Women.

The YLW, led by Zoe Johnson (11 points, 16 rebounds, five steals) and Maddy Grossman (23 points, including six three-pointers, four rebounds, three assists, also had it going on opening weekend and pulled away for a big 67-39 win against visiting Collingwood.

Coburg was also a big winner on opening weekend, rolling to double-digit wins against Wyndham and Whittlesea. The Dragons and the Giants will tip things off at 1pm tomorrow.

While our two Youth League teams look to build on their successes of last weekend, our Division 1 Women, led by head coach Cara Jeffers and featuring a mix of familiar and new faces, will see their first action of the season when they open their campaign on the road against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

Tip-off time for that one at Patterson River Secondary College is 1pm.
