On 7 March, the Bookaar and Pomberneit Cricket Clubs competed in the grand final of the inaugural Colac and District Cricket Association Youth Women鈥檚 premiership.

- Brodie Humphrey (Class of 2019)
Pomborneit CC:

- Mary Place (current Year 11)
- Nellie Sadler (current Year 8)
We would like to congratulate the Bookaar Pelicans on their spectacular victory and give Taylah Casson a special round of applause for receiving the Player of the Match award. 鈥榃e were an underdog and didn鈥檛 expect to win originally. We were just hoping to do our best鈥� admits Taylah. After a strong start, the Pelicans managed to keep their advantage and claim the victory defending 8/101 in the 20 over contest.
The supportive audience at the Pomborneit Recreation Reserve enjoyed a fantastic game and a great effort from all players. What a great season for women鈥檚 cricket and for our alumni!
