Ryan Quirk, Jordan Wyatt and Jarryd Straker were chosen from the Bloods, while Leigh Booth, Ciaron Connolly, Sachith Jayasingha and Jordan Hammond made-up the Hawks’ contingent.
Hammond was chosen as 12th man in the side.
Wookey medallist Jeevan Mendis and Jonty Jenner made-up a Narre South-heavy middle order, along with Berwick’s Jake Hancock, and in all-rounders Michael Davies and Hadigallage Jayaratne there was a flavour of Buckley Ridges blue.
