The heights that some people will go to, to see a scoreboard. Or three of them, in the case of the Yarra Glen Junior Football and Netball Club.

Intrepid travellers Julie Merritt and Jan Fell boarded a hot-air balloon in the Yarra Valley recently and were very excited when the wind blew them over and above one of the local footy grounds.

Coming back to earth they then spent time at the oval hoping to glimpse numbers or team names. Alas, no such luck.
