Starting dates set for rail disruptions Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au COMMUTERS face months of rail and road disruptions while work is completed at Edithvale, Chelsea, and Bonbeach stations.

The three stations will close for reconstruction from 25 July, and will not reopen until November.

Buses will replace trains between Mordialloc and Frankston and Stony Point from 25 July until 2 August, then from 13 September until November.

During the six weeks in between those two closure periods, trains will run express through the three stations.

Road closures and other disruptions are also expected at Edithvale Road, Argyle Avenue, and Bondi Road from

July to October.

The level crossing removal at Bondi Road, Bonbeach, will be the 50th completed by the state government. By the end of this year the level crossings at Edithvale Road and Lochiel Avenue in Edithvale, Chelsea Road and Swanpool Avenue in Chelsea, and Bondi Road in Bonbeach will be gone.

While the Frankston line work is

underway, the track will be lowered into trenches and three new stations will be built.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the Level Crossing Removal Project crews had “done an outstanding job removing 46 level crossings to date and we’re thrilled to remove 50 level crossings by the end of 2021 – one year earlier than we promised.”

Acting transport infrastructure minister Ben Carroll said “we know the coming months will be disruptive and inconvenient for train passengers, road users and the local community as our teams work to remove these level crossings and we thank people for their patience while this important work is underway.”

Road users affected by rail works Continued from page 1 Road users will have to contend with disruptions in the coming months.

The following level crossings will be closed: Chelsea Road will close permanently on Sunday 19 July, Argyle Avenue will close from Wednesday 21 July to early October, Bondi Road will close from Friday 23 July to early October, Edithvale Road will close from Sunday 25 July to early October, and Swanpool Avenue will close permanently on Wednesday 29 September.

Thames Promenade will be extended to the Nepean Highway as part of the project, to allow a direct connection to the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and in-progress Mordialloc

Freeway.

The state government is spending $3 billion in total on the Frankston line, building 12 new stations and removing 18 level crossings.

The removal of two level crossings at Glenhuntly by 2024 will make the Frankston line level crossing free between Flinders Street and Moorabbin Station.

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “removing these dangerous and congested level crossings and building three new stations will improve train services and cut commute times for rail passengers, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians — in the process making Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach

even better places to live.”

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this has been an outstanding effort by the project team to remove all five level crossings at once – I thank travellers for their patience, but the benefits once they’re gone for good will be worth it.”

To see full details on what works will take place and when, visit bigbuild.vic.gov.au FOUR lift shafts, each weighing roughly 15 tonnes, were put into their new home by crane recently at Bonbeach and Chelsea stations.

Have your say Project concept designs

Electoral boundaries shifting NEW proposed boundaries for state electorates have been released by Victoria’s Electoral Boundaries Commission.

The electoral boundary for Mordialloc is set to change, providing a boost to the Labor party whose margin may slightly increase.

The EBC has proposed to abolish the Keysborough seat currently held by Labor minister Martin Pakula. Its voters will be redistributed to surrounding electorates in Dandenong, Clarinda, Mulgrave, and Mordialloc.

A report prepared by the EBC on the proposal read that Mordialloc will “be expanded east to gain about 10,000 electors in Braeside, Waterways and most of the Keysborough locality, offsetting its losses to Clarinda District in the north.

This would greatly improve the shape of Mordialloc District, while also bringing in the relatively isolated Waterways locality where community links are potentially strongest. Importantly, the communities facing Port Phillip Bay would be

maintained.”

The boundaries of the Carrum electorate may also change slightly. It is proposed that it gains nearly 5000 electors by encompassing the remaining share of Lyndhurst from the Cranbourne district.

The proposed changes, if they proceed, will come into effect at the 2022 state election.

Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately said “the EBC in December 2020 invited submissions from the public, and received 58 submissions – five from political parties, 15 from organisations and community groups and 38 from individuals.

Anyone interested in providing comment on the proposed boundaries should lodge a written submission before 5pm Friday 30 July 2021.”

To see the proposed boundaries and make a submission visit ebc.vic.gov.au Final boundaries are expected to be known by October.

Football’s coming home SURREAL LANDSCAPES MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition ‘Surreal Landscapes’ explores the natural world through historic and political narrative. Curated by Danny Lacy and Rosie Weiss, the show includes newly commissioned work alongside select loans from Hayley Millar Baker, Nadine Christensen, Peta Clancy, Emily Ferretti, Tara Gilbee, Philip Hunter, Raafat Ishak, James Newitt, Emma Phillips, Christian Thompson AO.

Go in feet first in maintaining your health and quality of life TAKING care of our feet is a key part of our health and quality of life that needs professional shoe fitting from early development to maturity as our feet change over time. Bayside Shoes has focused its “foot solutions” service on delivering comfort with quality at an affordable price whatever your foot problem, shoe size or age.

Bayside Shoes has specialized in orthotic friendly, small to large size shoes to meet your needs whether it is work, play or that special event and endeavour to find a solution that will meet your specific shoe needs and budget. They have worked closely with podiatrists and manufacturers to assist in the design of shoes that not only give the functional support required for the specific foot problem but also deliver a range of elegant options in boots, sandals, shoes and even orthotic flip flops.

In collaboration with Scholl, Bayside Shoes has launched a new range of orthotic friendly, comfort, work, casual shoes and sandals for women and men. This podiatrist designed footwear range deliver the Scholl Orthaheel tri-planar motion control system to minimize the stresses in the foot region, and provide relief from most problem foot conditions. This unique Orthaheel orthotic innersole technology built into the footwear gives natural foot alignment and elevated support.

CHANGES made to Victoria’s renting laws will make things “fairer for everyone”, according to the Peninsula Community Legal Centre.

Reforms brought in this year include limiting rent rises to once per year and ensuring properties are fitted out with the basic amenities.

In a statement, the PCLC said the previous laws “created a power imbalance that favoured landlords”.

“The changes to the law mean that renters in Victoria are now provided with some of the basic protections that have existed elsewhere in the world for a long time,” PCLC CEO Jackie Galloway said. “It is only fair that rental properties must meet basic standards that make them safe and liveable.

“The new laws enable people to turn the house they rent into a home. They are not about maintaining a property to a luxury level, they are about maintaining it at a basic liveable level. The reforms won’t require huge changes for those who are already providing safe and secure rentals.

“For example, renters have to ask if they can have a pet and if the owner does not agree they can apply for a VCAT decision that the pet should not be allowed. So an owner might be able to prevent a very large dog being kept in a very small unit, for example, but for most situations the renter can now make a home with the pet that they choose.”

Contact Peninsula Community Legal Centre for free advice on 9783 3600 or email pclc@pclc.org.au.

A “community vision” developed by a community panel alongside Kingston Council has set out a long term vision for the area.

The community vision statement reads “Kingston is a resilient, inclusive and diverse community. We are building the most liveable and sustainable city in Victoria. We champion and nurture our green and open spaces creating a safe, healthy environment.

Our shared legacy connects our community, embracing innovation, making Kingston the place to live.”

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said “the panel spent more than 2000 hours developing the vision and recommendations for our strategic plans that will ensure Kingston is the best place to live, work and play.”

“The community vision focuses on inclusiveness, diversity, resilience, protecting our natural environment, thriving businesses and embracing innovation. ” The community vision report can be read at Kingston.vic.gov.au/vision.

Your hearing questions answered IS it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing?

Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise.

Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: • Turning the TV up • Frequently asking for repeats • Not being able to hear properly on the telephone • Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants • Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing.

Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids?

Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids. Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor.

Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss?

Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying. With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly.

Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss?

Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal.

If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-theline model?

Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of the-line hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive.

At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for.

Are smaller hearing aids more expensive?

Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points. Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news is that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days.

How much do hearing aids cost?

Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish.

For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair.

What brand of hearing aids to you recommend?

Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic.

We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well. We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget.

We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.

What is your philosophy on health care?

If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient.

What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you?

The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding.

What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way?

It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients?

My number one rule is to take things at the right pace of the individual patient. Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available.

It doesn’t help anyone to push someone into getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Your audiologist, Cathryn Williams

Car parking promises ‘not appropriate’ - audit FORMER Dunkley MP Chris Crewther on the campaign trail with treasurer Josh Frydenberg in 2019. Picture: Supplied

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au SCRAPPED car parking expansions at Seaford and Kananook stations were not proposed by the Department of Infrastructure prior to the federal government announcing it would build them in the leadup to the 2019 election.

The Auditor-General has completed a review of the Urban Congestion Fund scheme. The fund was used by the federal government to promise the construction of car parks Australiawide in the leadup to its re-election.

The Auditor-General’s report has revealed that just two of the 47 identified sites have been completed as of 31 March this year. It also revealed that none of the sites were proposed for funding by the department itself.

The audit summary read “the selection of 47 commuter car park sites for funding commitment were decisions of government taken over the period January to July 2019 and effected in 38 cases (81 per cent) by the written agreement of the Prime Minister to a written request from ministers, effected in seven cases (15 per cent) by the election commitment process, and in two cases (four per cent) the department had not evidenced how the funding commitment was effected, beyond email advice from the minister’s office and a media announcement by the Prime Minister.”

“There was not appropriate engagement with state and council delivery partners to identify candidate projects

by the department. The limited engagement that did occur was by the minister’s office with some states and by parliamentarians or candidates with some councils. The associated risk of selecting projects that were not feasible given site constraints or costs, or were not supported or co-funded by the intended delivery partner, was re-

alised in some cases,” it read.

“Neither the department’s advice nor the recorded reasons for selection outlined each project’s merits against the investment principles or how each project would contribute to achieving the policy objective of the UCF. As a result, there is little evidence to demonstrate that the selection of com-

muter car park projects was based on assessed merit against the investment principles or achievement of the policy objective.”

Earlier this year, the federal Liberal government scrapped plans to build car parking at Seaford and Kananook train stations. In response to questions sent by The News to the office of urban

infrastructure minister Paul Fletcher when the project was abandoned, a spokesperson said “based on advice from the Victorian government and local councils, the Commonwealth has withdrawn funding from a small number of projects where the Victorian government or relevant local council has advised that the project cannot be delivered with the funding committed or where there was no feasible site or design options. This includes the Seaford and Kananook commuter carparks.”

“The funding that had been committed for both Seaford and Kananook commuter carparks specifically will be redirected to the construction of an alternative carpark along the same rail line following advice from both the local and state governments,” the spokesperson said (“Scrapped car park plans a broken promise, The News, 25/5/21).

The most recent federal budget topped up funding for announced car parking plans at Frankston Station.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A Total Lack of Selfie Awareness

By Stuart McCullough ONCE upon a time, people rarely photographed themselves. If they did, it was a complicated process that required buttons and timers and the kind of coordination and planning ordinarily reserved for launches of a space shuttle. But what was once an oddity is now ubiquitous. People photograph themselves all the time, perhaps more than anything else. But for those of us who grew up pointing a camera at objects other than ourselves, this is a challenge.

I get it. Being able to take your own photo rather than pester bystanders is clearly part of human evolution. This kind of ‘selfie-sufficiency’ is to be applauded if not celebrated. But there’s a generation now who are probably under the impression that all photos are self-taken as opposed to taken by experts.

When I was growing up, a ‘selfie’ was something you painted on a canvas and took about eight months.

For those of us devoid of any artistic abilities whatsoever, this was a fruitless waste of time. Invariably, the results were little more than a gigantic smudge. Mind you, this smudge did look a lot like my passport photo, but I prefer to think that my efforts were unrepresentative rather than the more depressing possibility that they are eerily accurate.

These days, they teach you how to take a selfie before you hit high school.

Right after Phys Ed. Young people are total black belts in selfie-taking. Having completed my education in the pre-selfie era, my lack training is fully

evident. Not that I haven’t noticed that there are several skills you need to master the art of the selfie. One is sucking in your cheeks (easy enough).

The one is the arm thrust where you stick your arm out so the camera is just

the right distance from your face.

The random arm extension can be either harmless or have near fatal consequences, as I was to discover when one person enthusiastically extended her arm whilst she was seated

and I was standing in near proximity aboard a shuttle bus at an airport. Had I been able to speak after the resulting impact, I surely would have asked what value there was in taking a selfie whilst in a crowded shuttle bus.

Cocking your head to the side to achieve the most flattering angle is also a big one. Nobody looks straight on. Nobody. Nothing will sooner reveal your selfie ineptitude that having your head on an even keel. To improve my results, I’ve tried cocking my head to the side to find a more flattering angle but I’m not sure any such angle exists. After several attempts, the angle I was using had become so extreme that all that was left was the curve of my neck and part of an ear. By the end, I was almost horizontal.

Once, photos were taken either by your parents or trained professionals.

They lurked at shopping centres and we lived in constant fear that one of our parental overlords would decide that an impromptu portrait might be a good idea. Against a light blue background, you would be required to stare off to the side, hand elegantly placed on the shoulder of a sibling. Were it not for lockdown, I’d be heading down to the nearest shopping centre to get one of these. I refuse to accept that a ‘selfie’ can’t be outsourced.

Having to take a selfie has busted a number of myths for me. Previously, I thought that the reason my eyes were always closed in photographs was because the photographer and I were never in synch. Selfies have taught me that this is not the case. Even having eliminated the photographer from the equation, I still manage to produce

photos with my eyes closed, albeit on a more flattering angle. It’s as though pushing the button to take the picture and closing my eyes are two actions that are inextricably linked.

The results were awful. Despite the fact that these were photos, they bore an uncanny resemblance to a Picasso painting. Things were not, anatomically speaking, where they should have been. I contemplated using an old trick favoured by ageing movie stars and rubbing some Vaseline on the lens, before deciding the five hundred gram jar I had was unlikely to be up to the job.

Then I got desperate. I decided that I might get a better result if the snap was more candid and unexpected. I can only say that it’s very difficult to catch yourself off guard when taking a selfie. I’d walk into rooms only to be startled by the sight of my own arm leaping out of nowhere before an explosion of light. The results landed somewhere between alarmed and the kind of photo you might see of a celebrity immediately as they’re released from prison.

At a certain point, you’ve got to concede. From the thirteen thousand or so attempts, I selected two that appeared almost semi-human and not very Picasso-like at all. They are, of course, set against a blue screen that I improvised using a bed sheet and I’m staring off the side in the middle distance, one hand hovering over an invisible shoulder. Sometimes you’ve got to stick with what you know. You can agree or disagree with this approach. But at least you get the picture. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs Robert’s son drowns at Dromana *** ON Saturday last, the little six year old son of Mrs Roberts, of the Dromana Tea Rooms, was drowned at Dromana.

The little fellow was seen near the pier in the afternoon, and the body was found next morning 300 yards away.

His father was killed at the war. *** FOR Children’s Hacking Cough Use Woods Great Peppermint Cure. *** THE Rev. E. Schweiger, of Christ Church, Essendon, who comes to Frankston on the 22nd inst. to assist Miss Dorathea Macmaster at her recital in aid of the Blind Institute, is an enthusiastic musician, and one of the ablest organisers in Victoria.

Whilst the war waged, he arranged a number of concerts for the Red Cross fund, at which Madame Melba, Miss Florence Fawas, Madame Ashley, John Amadio, Signor Cachialli and a host of others assisted.

As an Essendonian, Miss Macmaster took prominent parts as piano soloist and accompanist.

Mr Schweiger hit on the happy idea of getting the Prince of Wales to nominate Christ Church a memorial church, and to authorise the calling of its tower, which is to hold Australia’s carillon, the Prince’s Tower.

Mr Schweiger studied singing in Europe, but put aside his musical ambition to enter the church.

Frankston folk will greatly appreciate his numbers.

Of other items, and of the arrangements generally, more will be said

Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Saturday last, the little six year old son of Mrs Roberts, of the Dromana Tea Rooms, was drowned at Dromana.

next week.

*** A PLEASING function took place in the Frankton Mechanics’ Hall on Friday evening last, when the members of the Presbyterian Church entertained Miss Prosser at a social.

The minister, Mr J. F. Bell, presided.

Mr Nairn, of Somerville, Miss Dulcie Logan and Miss Dorethea Macmaster assisted in the programme, which was greatly appreciated.

The chairman, in presenting Miss Prosser with a wallet of notes, referred to the very valuable assistance rendered by that young lady in her capacity as church organist.

She was held in high esteem by church members, whose gift was intended to mark, in a small way, the depth of their appreciation.

Mr Prosser feelingly responded on behalf of his daughter.

Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. *** OWING to the non-arrival of trees, Arbor Day, which was to have been celebrated at the Frankston State school today, was postponed until Friday next. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held last Tuesday evening. Mr H. Vicars (president), was in the chair.

A resolution supporting same was carried.

It was decided to ask the council

to have the fire plugs made accessible, also to have discs provided for registered dogs.

Cr Wells undertook to bring the matters forward.

Satisfaction was expressed at the decision of the council to proceed with the improvement of Playne Street, and Cr Wells was complimented on having worked so energetically to that end.

The secretary reported in connection with the last meeting of the Combined Progress Associations held at Carrum, and Messrs Wheeler and James undertook to act with the secretary at future meetings.

Mr Legge was welcomed as a new member, and, by special request, Mr Wheeler kindly consented to entertain members at next meeting by relating his experiences in connection with his recent trip to Fiji. *** THE Chief Officer of the Country Road’s Board visited Frankston last week and inspected the local brigade.

There was a good number of members, and Captain D. Petrie put them through their paces in good style.

Speaking to a representative of “The Standard,” the Chief Officer stated that he was well pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the Frankston Brigade.

He congratulated the town on possessing such a fine water supply, which equalled the pressure in the mains at Ballarat and Bendigo and was better than that of Geelong, Warrnambool and other large centres.

Of the 135 towns under his supervision, Frankston, he said, was

among the first 10 in the matter of the water supply.

Mr Marshall was not altogether satisfied with the quality of the equipment on hand at the Frankston Fire Station and suggested that a new reel would be a decided improvement.

He was quite emphatic on the point that the responsibility of providing and keeping the fire plugs in an efficient state, rested with the shire council, and was surprised that any doubt should have arisen over the matter.

It has been a cause for grievance with members of the Frankston brigade that many of the fire plugs in the main streets have no indicators, and should it be urgently necessary to use them, valuable time would be lost in locating and digging for the plugs before the hydrant could be fixed.

The Chief Officer would not say it was necessary for the council to erect white indicating boards, but he added ‘any council taking a proper pride and interest in their town would provide every facility within reason.”

The secretary of the Frankston brigade is writing the local shire council in reference to the matter, when, no doubt prompt action will be taken to assist and encourage the efforts of the volunteer firemen. *** THE hon. sec., Mr Milner Macmaster, has been fortunate in securing a first rate programme for the Scotch concert to be held on Friday, 22nd inst. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 1 July 1921

Bombers upset Stonecats, Sharks hold on DIVISION ONE

Picture: Craig Barrett

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON Bombers scored their best win for the season on Saturday by defeating top of the ladder Frankston YCW. The Stonecats have been the standout side in Division One this season, but were put on the back foot early. The Bombers rushed out to an early lead and held the Stonecats goalless in the first term.

Frankston YCW hit the scoreboard in the second term, but the Bombers hit back. They didn’t let the Stonecats get too close to them all afternoon, and ended up winning 14.10 (94) to 8.11 (59).

Alex Harnett, Harrison Prior, and Sam Drake were among the Bombers’ best. Jarrad Grant, Khan Haretuku, and Corey Buchan kicked two goals each.

Despite the defeat, YCW remain on top of the ladder.

Bottom of the ladder Edithvale-Aspendale nearly snatched a win on Saturday, but just couldn’t get over the line.

Edithvale-Aspendale were matched up against Sorrento at Regents Park. The home side started well, and took a three goal lead into half time.

Sorrento struck back with a

six goal third term. Both sides were evenly matched in the final quarter, but the Sharks just did enough to stay in front.

After a hard fought contest Sorrento defeated EdithvaleAspendale 12.11 (83) to 12.13 (85).

The Sharks have had a difficult year, but still remain in the top six by percentage.

Nicholas Marston and James Hallahan were Sorrento’s best.

Dromana copped a difficult loss at home last weekend. They fell just short of Bonbeach.

The Tigers kicked two goals to zero in the first term, but fortunes changed in the second. The Tigers kicked just one behind in the second quarter and went into half time down by nine.

Heading into the last quarter, Bonbeach led by one. Both teams kicked one goal each in the final term which meant Bonbeach took the four points.

The final score read Dromana 6.4 (40) to Bonbeach 6.7 (43).

Around the grounds Mt Eliza defeated Red Hill by three goals at Emil Madsen Reserve.

Rosebud put on a good show at Olympic Oval, defeating Pines 15.12 (102) to 4.7 (31). Jai Nansacawen kicked five goals in a best-on-ground showing.

By Brodie Cowburn TYABB are finally on the board in season 2021.

The Yabbies took on Pearcedale at Pearcedale Recreation Reserve. They went into the game 0-10 for the year.

Both sides looked evenly matched in the first half. Pearcedale went into half time up by a point.

Tyabb were excellent in the second half. They managed to hold Pearcedale goalless, and scored six of their own to wrap up a well deserved win.

Tyabb ended up victorious by 32 points 4.10 (34) to 10.6 (66). Luke Stanton kicked three goals for the Yabbies. Lachlan Cox also impressed.

After a shock defeat the previous week, Langwarrin returned to the winner’s list with a good performance against Karingal.

The Bulls struggled to hit the scoreboard at Lloyd Park. They put just three goals on the board all day.

Langwarrin got the job done, defeating the Bulls 12.14 (86) to 3.6 (24). Luke Churcher was named best on ground for Langy.

Another premiership contender got a comfortable win on Saturday when Mornington defeated Hastings.

The Blues struggled to score from one end of the ground all day. They were held goalless in the opening and third terms.

The Bulldogs capitalised and scored a comfortable win 15.19 (109) to 6.14 (50). Jackson Calder kicked six, taking his goal tally for the season to 59. Adrian Speedy also played well.

Rye managed to win a hard-fought match against Somerville last weekend.

The Demons went into each break with a lead, but never by much. Somerville worked hard all day but ended up falling seven points short.

Rye won 10.7 (67) to 8.11 (59). Tom Hughes’ three goals proved influential.

A seven-goal haul from Damien Rayson was the highlight of the match between Crib Point and Seaford. The Tigers won by 90 points 4.16 (40) to 20.10 (130).

A six goals to zero opening quarter helped Devon Meadows score a 13.12 (90) to 11.4 (70) win over Chelsea.

Dolphins struggle, big win for Bulldogs SEWF PREMIERS

By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON won their second match for the season on Saturday in a hard fought encounter against Mt Eliza.

Both sides have struggled this season. The game was a good opportunity for each team to grab a win.

The Bulldogs got on the front foot early with a two goals to zero opening term. Although they didn’t add another goal to the scoreboard for the rest of the day, they defended well and held on to win.

The final score read 1.3 (9) to 2.5 (17).

Skye Nisbet scored both of Mornington’s goals.

Tyabb took on St Kilda Sharks last weekend in what proved to be an evenly matched contest.

Both sides traded blows in the first half, with the Sharks up by one point at half time.

Tyabb trailed by three heading into the final term, but couldn’t do enough to win. St Kilda ended up running out winners 5.5 (35) to 3.0 (18).

Rylee Geddes booted two goals for Tyabb. Paris Tracey also scored two for the Sharks.

It was a tough day for the Frankston Football Club on Sunday. They succumbed to the Eastern Devils by 80 points.

Seaford scored a good win, defeating Coburg Lions 34 - 23.

Seagulls maintain NPL push SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON stayed in the hunt for a berth in next season’s prestigious NPL competition after Saturday’s 2-0 away win over Casey Comets.

The Seagulls proved too strong with a goal in each half.

A Milos Lujic header in the 34th minute put the visitors ahead and the second goal came from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute after Kane Bentley was fouled.

Josh Hine had no problem converting.

Many pundits believe that Mornington hasn’t played to its potential this year despite continuing its title tilt.

After the match head coach Adam Jamieson acknowledged that the ladder leader had room for improvement.

“That was the first time this season that we put 90 minutes together,” Jamieson said.

“We know we’ve still got a lot to improve on but we are heading in the right direction.”

In NPL2 Langwarrin had nothing to show from a second trip to CB Smith Reserve on Friday after its recent FFA Cup exit at that venue this time losing 1-0 to Moreland Zebras.

The goal that settled the contest came two minutes into first half added time when a Nathan Tidmarsh cross from the left was bundled over the line at the second attempt by Josh Knight at the back post.

Langwarrin was down to 10 men at the time as central defender Marcus Holmes was given a straight red in the

35th minute for fouling Dario Vidosic as Moreland broke quickly.

Langwarrin left back Jaiden Madafferi was sent off in the 92nd minute after receiving a second yellow card.

In State 2 Skye United stayed in the promotion mix with a resounding 5-1 home win over Knox City on Saturday.

Six minutes in a well-worked team goal resulted in a classy Caleb Nicholes finish and five minutes later a Marcus Anastasiou cross found Mark O’Connor who doubled the lead.

Shortly after Jonathan Crook celebrated his 100th straight senior appearance for Skye with a penalty save.

In the second half an Anastasiou double, a Billy Painting own goal and another strike from outside the area by Nicholes completed the scoreline.

Peninsula Strikers drew 2-2 away to Brandon Park last weekend giving up a 2-0 lead.

Aaran Currie put Strikers ahead in the 6th minute when he chipped the keeper and in the 32nd minute Currie got onto a Jon Guthrie through ball and finished well.

But Chris Kotsiras made it 2-1 in the 81st minute and in the 98th minute Luka Barrueto nabbed the equaliser.

Strikers have lost Sam Luxford who signed with Richmond last week.

In State 3 Frankston Pines lost its second league game of the season when it went down 1-0 to Ashburton United at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve on Friday night.

Lawrence Harding scored in the 78th minute and was sent off in the 91st minute.

Pines remain on top of the table 10 points clear of second-placed Brighton who lost 3-1 to local rival Hampton East Brighton.

In State 4 Seaford United is still eyeing promotion and is second in the league after Saturday’s 2-0 away win over Springvale City.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford opened its account in the 30th minute when Tristan Stass headed back across goal to Dylan Waugh on the opposite post and the league’s leading scorer headed home from close range.

In the 60th minute Waugh’s initial shot from inside the box was deflected and he was brought down when following up.

Blake Hicks took the resultant penalty and sent the keeper the wrong way to extend the lead against the run of play.

In the final analysis although Springvale had the better of Seaford for most of the match it couldn’t create enough quality chances and was forced into shooting from long range.

Chelsea won the local derby at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Friday downing Baxter 2-1.

Baxter was awarded a 15th minute penalty but Lachie McMinimee’s attempt was saved by Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies.

Max Timuska-Carr put Chelsea ahead just before half-time with a long range strike that was deflected and Nathan Boccari made it 2-0 in the 70th minute after running onto a Piers Brelsford through ball and striking his shot in off a post.

Charlie Parker’s reply for Baxter came in the 89th minute.

Somerville Eagles lost 5-1 away to Endeavour United last weekend.

Player-coach Dave Greening scored for Somerville to continue his battle with Seaford’s Waugh for league Golden Boot honours.

In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays maintained their promotion momentum with a 3-1 home win over Rosebud last weekend.

Noah Berends opened the scoring for Aspendale following an Adrian Pace corner in the 38th minute but Rosebud player-coach Mark Pagliarulo volleyed home an inch-perfect cross from Dougie Cunnison a minute later.

Aspendale keeper Matt Self made two excellent saves in the second half before his Rosebud counterpart Christopher Ogu-Chinonso made a costly error allowing James Macnab to restore Aspendale’s lead in the 54th minute.

Rosebud kept pushing for the equaliser but a Kenan Nuhanovic shot from outside the area in the 74th minute settled the issue.

Mount Martha lost 2-0 away to Casey Panthers but there were promising signs for the youngest side in the league as it continues to come to terms with competing at senior level.
