Amelie Atkinson (pictured) and our Youth League Women continued their stirring start to the Big V season over the weekend, winning back-to-back games – against Whittlesea and Eltham – to improve to 4-0.

The YLW, led by Maddy Grossman (14 points) and Zoe Johnson (13 points, 11 rebounds), cruised to a 75-45 win against visiting Whittlesea at Boroondara Sports Complex on Saturday night, and then made it two from two for the weekend with a 64-53 win against Eltham at Eltham High School on Sunday afternoon.

Captain Jacinta Li had 14 points and six boards to pace Camberwell (4-0), which closed the week tied with Knox for first place in the Youth League 1 Women competition. The two unbeaten teams will square off at Balwyn High School next Sunday (12pm).
