THE game of the week in junior badminton in the Mid Gippsland League was the clash between the two Ellinbank teams in A/B Grade.
Last time round, it was Blue over Gold … but this time it was a closer match.
Although Blue made a promising start, Gold clawed back the advantage and showed great mixed skills to win.
The Victorian teams championships will be played at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Albert Park, on Sunday, 28 August.
