GUB Champs League Women’s Game of the Week Wrap: YMCA vs. Try Boys
YMCA secured a gritty 59-45 win over Try Boys in this week’s GUB Champs League Game of the Week, showing resilience and leadership despite a short rotation.
Geelong United Women’s Youth League talents Taylah Richards (17 points) and Aleks Connolly (14 points) led the way, with four of their remaining five players also contributing to the scoreboard in a well-rounded team effort.
Try Boys, missing key players including Jade Chow—currently representing at the junior national champs—were left without a bench. Olivia Virt stepped up with a strong 21-point performance, but the lack of depth proved costly in key moments as YMCA pulled away late.
The win gives YMCA a much-needed boost as they look to climb off the bottom of the ladder, while Try Boys, despite the loss, remain in 3rd place overall. With momentum shifting, YMCA will be hoping this result sparks a turnaround in their season.
