THE GV Harmony Cup 2026 was held on Wednesday, March 25, bringing together teams from disability service providers and specialist schools from across northern Victoria, including Shepparton, Echuca, Cobram, and surrounding towns.
The GV Harmony Cup is hosted by the Shepparton Youth Club United Cricket Club with support from Valley Sport and Cricket Victoria. Approximately 100 people with a disability took part in a fun-filled day of cricket at Shepparton’s Deakin Reserve, where six mini pitches were set up across the ground. The day provided an opportunity for people with a disability to participate in cricket, which can often be limited in regional areas.
