Murray Elliott (pictured middle with MND Victoria’s Jay Simmance and Woolworths’ Kelsey Smith) has raised thousands of dollars for motor neurone disease research. He sells raffle tickets for hot chickens at Chelsea Woolworths, and has spent seven years fundraising. See story page 3.
KINGSTON Council’s mayor says that the proposed height limits for future residential developments will help address the current housing crisis.
Demand for housing is a pressing issue nationwide. The national residential vacancy rate has hovered at a little more than one per cent throughout this year, as low as it has been since 2006, according to figures from SQM
Research. In the south-east Melbourne region the vacancy rate is lower than one per cent.
Kingston Council has drafted new planning guidelines for future housing developments, and submitted them to planning minister Sonya Kilkenny for approval. Council’s plan will guide where future three and four-storey developments will be built (“Housing height limits sent to planning minister”
The News 16/8/23).
Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said the proposed planning scheme amendment addresses the housing issues. “Housing
supply is a critical issue for all levels of government right now, and Kingston has stepped up to work with our community over the past six years to deliver a plan that focuses future growth in and around our key activity centres, close to public transport, shops, and services. We have shown this can be done while also protecting our quieter neighbourhood streets” he said.
“Our housing plan easily accommodates required growth, we have a proven track record of approving new homes in activity centres, and we know further growth is coming via
the Suburban Rail Loop project areas in Cheltenham/Highett and Clayton/ Clayton South. Council is also proud to be a strong supporter of social and affordable housing projects to provide homes for people that would otherwise miss out. Kingston is living proof that councils and local communities can create positive plans for growth in their neighbourhoods.”
An independent panel recommended that council should zone walkable catchments of the Mentone and Parkdale activity centres for three-storey development. The proposed planning
scheme amendment submitted to the planning minister ignored this advice. Haab said “this has come completely out of the blue, and we stand firm with our community that our beautiful foreshore should be protected from inappropriate development. We simply do not support changing the current two-storey limit introduced by the Victorian Government to safeguard the unique coastal environment right along Port Phillip Bay.”

RETIRED Bonbeach resident Murray Elliott is doing his part to fund research into motor neurone disease by selling raffle tickets.
Elliott has been selling raffle tickets to raise money for MND research for around seven years. He estimates he has raised $9000 in that time.
Elliott said he was inspired to make a difference after a friend was diagnosed with MND. “80 percent of the people that I talk to have got knowledge of somebody in their family or have a friendship with someone that has MND. They tell me they would love to give support,” he said.
“This research is just such a vital thing to give money towards. [Researchers] have tried to do something about this, and tried to find something for it, but we don’t know enough about it.”
Elliott heads down to Woolworths Chelsea most days to sell raffle tickets. The supermarket often donates hot chickens for the cause. “I can’t thank Woolworths enough - they do so much,” he said.
72-year-old Elliott is a resident of Calvary Bonbeach Residential Aged Care.

A JUNIOR doctor leading a class action case against Peninsula Health for underpayment says a recent court ruling is a turning point for the industry.
Dr Gaby Bolton was the lead applicant in the case against Peninsula Health. Earlier this month the Federal Court ruled that Peninsula Health had breached the Fair Work Act by not paying her correctly.
Dr Bolton began her employment at Peninsula Health on 8 January 2019, working primarily at Frankston Hospital. Her claims for unpaid overtime related to four rotations undertaken between January 2019 and January 2021.
The Federal Court ruling read that Dr Bolton should be compensated for the overtime she worked. “In determining the factual issues raised as to whether Dr Bolton was, in fact, impliedly authorised to perform the overtime work claimed, I have determined that Dr Bolton was authorised in respect of each category of overtime claimed, other than for what is later referred to as ‘ward round overtime’,” the ruling read. “As Dr Bolton was not paid for the overtime work which I have determined Peninsula Health authorised her to perform, Peninsula Health has contravened the 2018 Agreement and therefore s50 of the FW Act. In considering the compensation that Dr Bolton should be awarded, I have been satisfied that the overtime hours claimed to have been worked are sub-
stantially, but not entirely, proven.”
Dr Bolton said she hopes the finding will bring change to the healthcare industry. “Payment of our hours will hopefully force hospitals to make a change. This isn’t a safe environment for junior doctors, and it certainly wasn’t a safe environment for the patients we work so hard to care for,” she said.
“I started this case with the Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation of Victoria because my colleagues were overworked and exhausted. I see junior doctors every day who perform medical emergencies and prepare patients for surgery when they are clearly fatigued.”
Peninsula Health chief medical officer Dr Shyaman Menon said the organisation is reviewing the outcome of the case. “Peninsula Health acknowledges the judgement handed down by Justice Bromberg in the Federal Court on Friday afternoon,” Menon said. “Our junior doctors are an important part of the future of our organisation and we acknowledge the important contribution they make across all our hospitals and healthcare sites.
“We are carefully reviewing the judgement of the Federal Court, and are not in a position to comment further at this time.”
Gordon Legal and Hayden Stephens and Associates represent ASMOF and junior doctors. Gordon Legal partner Andrew Grech said “but for brave young doctors like Gaby Bolton and the many colleagues who gave evidence in her case, we would not have been able to achieve this landmark legal victory against wage theft for junior doctors.”
A PROGRAM on the Mornington Peninsula is aiming to raise awareness of the wide spectrum of peoples’ disabilities and to increase empathy and understanding for those living with a hidden disability.
Living with a hidden disability or condition can make daily life difficult, it can also be hard for others to understand the challenges that people with hidden disability or conditions face.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a symbol that people can wear to discreetly indicate they have an invisible disability or condition - and may need a helping hand, more time, or simply extra space in shops, at work, at events, on transport, or in public spaces.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has embraced the sunflower program to help raise awareness of those living with a non-visible disability and to increase accessibility and inclusion on the peninsula.
Shire libraries and the visitor information centre in Dromana are the first locations to be listed as sunflower-friendly places, where staff are trained to support sunflower wearers.
More shire locations will be added to the list of sunflower-friendly places in the coming months.
Anyone with a hidden disability can wear the hidden disabilities sunflower, as can their carer or loved one. Shire staff have completed training to indicate they can help.
Non-visible disabilities include mobility, diabetes, chronic pain, sleep disorders, learning difficulty, respiratory disorders, visual impairment or hearing loss.
There are 911 disabilities listed on the hidden disabilities and conditions register.
HIDDEN disabilities merchandise is designed to raise awareness and understanding. Picture: Supplied
Since launching in the UK in 2016, thousands of businesses across different sectors have joined the global hidden disabilities sunflower network, making it easier for people with invisible disabilities or conditions to find inclusive shops, entertainment, and travel options.
The council plans to develop a community inclusion strategy in late 2023-24 (to replace its 2018-22 disability inclusion plan) to guide future priorities and projects that aim to improve the
lives of people living with a disability, including those living with a hidden disability.
Anyone who has a hidden disability or condition and would like to be a part of the global sunflower community can pick up free wearable sunflower merchandise (wrist bands, lanyards, and pins) from any shire library and the Dromana visitor information centre.
Wearable merchandise can also be ordered from the council.

don’t have to worry about that side of their plan”.
NDIS participants do not need to worry about paying for 21Financial services because funding for plan management is generally provided with each participants’ plan.

Films based on true stories are often serious and emotionally challenging, but this charming oddball tale starring the award-winning Maggie Smith (pictured) is an entertaining curiosity. Set in 1970s London, Smith plays the homeless Miss Shepherd, who forms an unique bond with playwright Alan Bennett (Alex Jennings) after she parks her live-in van in his driveway. What follows is a stranger-than-fiction friendship, despite the old woman’s unpleasant demeanour and off-putting smell.

Other than the skyrocketing prices and evolving trends, not much has changed to The Block format throughout its 19 seasons. Once upon a time, plantation shutters were universally installed onto just about every window, but these days, long sheer curtains have taken over. Similarly, a study was once lucky if it got a look-in on a The Block floor plan: now a dedicated home office is as essential as a toilet. How times change. Tonight, the teams reveal a modern-day home’s pièce de résistance: the work-from-home space. But will rainy weather ruin one team’s hard work? How will the judges, including new face on the block Marty Fox (pictured), react to this onceboring room?

Compiled by Cameron McCullough POLLING was conducted in two ridings of the Shire of Frankston, and Hastings yesterday, when Cr. J. A. Alden succeeded in retaining his seat in the East Riding against his old-time opponent, Mr. T. Barclay, Hastings.
Cr. Alden, as was forecasted by “The Standard” had no difficulty in heading the poll – being returned by the handsome majority of 146 votes.
The Mount Eliza Riding contest proved much more interesting. Cr. May, as we previously stated, made many friends during his two years term at the council table, and as events proved, those friends proved in a practical way their appreciation of his past services.
Mr. Bradbury always realised that he was up against a difficult proposition in endeavoring to oust the retiring candidate, but entered the lists in a thoroughly sportsman like way, and successfully demonstrated that the rights of citizenship may be exercised in the sphere of public life without engendering ill-feeling between the opposing parties.
Cr. May, in his address at the declaration of the poll, referred to his phase of the contest and paid a tribute to his opponent for the clean way in which he had fought the election.
The result was close, Cr. May obtaining the verdict by a majority of 12 votes. ***
MR. J. L. Pratt, who of late has not been enjoying the best of health, has been ordered by his medical adviser to take a complete rest.

ON Monday next the Carrum fire brigade is holding a combined dance on behalf of the funds of the brigade, when firemen from surrounding districts are expected to attend in uniform.

THE straying stock nuisance at Seaford continues in spite of the various comments for the Press and agitation at the council table, and there concerns, but one means of obtaining the much desired relief, and that is the establishment at Frankston of a cattle pound, where harassed owners of feed could safely pound the free-feed hunting stock of callously indifferent grass grabbers.
Seaford is not without its full quota of straying stock, and the council should at once take the necessary action to construct a pound, where a worried property owner could take the intruding stock without waiting on a busy ranger to find time to do so.
Speaking of the ranger, his position is by no means an attractive one. His duties comprise a patrol of some ten or twelve miles of road frontage, and the council pays the ridiculous salary of £5 per annum.
The matter is becoming one of those troubles which must eventually be given serious consideration, and it would be well for the council to provide a means for the prevention of its getting to be a positive scandal.
The provision of a municipal pound would enable the princely sum of £5
to be saved, and each owner of land would be in a position to take the most effective action if troubled by the wandering stock.
It certainly is the limit when wandering cattle get tangled up with the vast motor traffic on the main road, such as happened last Sunday afternoon.

THE children’s fancy paper costume ball, organised by the Frankston branch of the A.N.A., in aid of the Frankston Soldiers’ Memorial Hall, was held on Thursday night last, and proved a magnificent success.
The generous proportions of the Palais de Danse afforded ample scope for the little folk to display their finery to the fullest advantage, and hundreds of little feet beat a merry tattoo on the spacious floor of the brilliantly lighted hall.
The function was perhaps the finest of its kind ever held in Frankston. It certainly aroused widespread interest, and the A.N.A. is to be congratulated on having hit on such a novel form of entertainment.
Members of the Frankston branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association cooperated in carrying out the arrangements, while the ladies’ committee played a prominent part in contributing to the success of the evening.
There must have been a vast amount of labor entailed in carrying out so satisfactorily all the details, and the magnitude of the task makes success all the more creditable.
It is not the first venture of this kind that the secretary, Mr. D. J. Quartermain, has been connected with, which, no doubt, accounts for a good deal.
Madge Thomas and Ivy Purdy, pupils of Miss White, executed clever toe dancing and songs. Other pupils of Miss White, all dressed as roses, grace-
fully danced.
Beattie Stack, trained by Miss White, also sang effectively and earned loud applause.
Mrs. F. Johnson made four dresses for the ball, three of which won prizes. Her daughter’s dress, which won a prize as Chrysanthemum, contained 560 feet of paper, and was certainly a work of art, as also were a lot of others worn.
Refreshments were available during the evening, a bevy of ladies doing duty in this department and thus helping to increase the fund.
The takings at the door amounted to £22/5/6, and there were a large number of tickets sold in addition, which should bring the gross taking to something between £30 and £40. A detailed balance-sheet will be published in due course.

From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 22 & 24 Aug 1923.
I’VE never really been that into sport. I played, for a time, but found that I excelled more at falling over than keeping my balance. It may well be a metaphor for life more generally. I was bowled, knocked over, walloped, thumped, stumped, struck and skittled more times than I can mention. Indeed, if these were the metrics of a champion, there’d be a statue of me outside the MCG. Granted, it wouldn’t be made bronze; more likely marshmallow or some other spongy, pliable, sugar-fuelled substance, in keeping with its subject. But match stats rarely celebrate players for the number of times they gripped their knees while trying to catch their breath instead of the ball. More’s the pity. Like any kid, I tried to support a football team but, for a host of reasons, lost interest. I appreciate it’s heresy, but I failed to appreciate how important loyalty was. When I was seven, I switch allegiance from Essendon to Carlton – an act my father described as possibly the greatest betrayal to ever occur outside of wartime. There were football cards, of which I collected a grand total of about fifteen, including my personal favourite – Bruce Doull –or as he was known then, ‘The Flying Doormat’. I didn’t understand what it meant then any more than I do now, but I like it all the same.
I even went to some football matches. My father is a member of the MCC. His ritual was to pack a small travel bag – the type that travel agents used to dispense whenever you booked a major trip – and included a thermos
of sweet tea and a packet of chocolate biscuits. Most commonly Arnott’s Gaiety. Presumably, Tim Tams were considered too extreme and Iced Vovos too fiddly, so Gaiety it was. This was a strategic masterstroke because, my father reasoned, the food at the ground was prohibitively expensive.
At a certain point, I stopped going to large sporting events. That’s not to say that I didn’t take in my fair share of junior soccer, football and basket-
ball games. I’ve navigated draughty multi-purpose venues in a dazzling array of far-flung suburbs, all in the name of supporting a family member. But as for large-scale sporting spectacles, it’s been some decades. Until, of course, the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Meeting someone is something of a Venn-diagram experience. You overlap where you have something in common; something that can be shared and built upon. And as glorious as this
common ground is, just as significant are those things where you differ.
We bonded over music. So much so that we even started writing and performing music together. But Katrina’s other great passion is football. By which, of course, I mean ‘soccer’. As someone who had come here from Dublin, the Women’s World Cup tournament presented a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Irish national team play in Australia. And so it was that I found myself agreeing to go to Perth to see a football match between Ireland and Canada. As you do.
It was raining and cold. We arrived at the stadium to find that at least ninety percent of the spectators were there to support Ireland. The stadium was a sea of green with a few, small flecks of red. When it came time to sing the national anthems, it was somewhat even. They played the Canadian anthem first and, from the results, I couldn’t even tell you whether or not it had words. When time came for the Irish national anthem, things were a lot louder. It was sung in Irish and had the stadium had a roof, it would surely have been lifted by the sound of thousands of voices singing at full volume. That was just the beginning.
There was then the matter of football chants. It’s a subject I know nearly nothing about. It’s a subject on which Katrina could well be considered, if not an expert then, possibly, a world champion. She wasted no time in starting several chants. It soon became apparent that those at our end of the ground began to see Katrina as their leader as she led a full-throated
rendition of ‘Olé, Olé, Olé’. I asked for a translation and learned that, roughly speaking, this translates into English as ‘Olé, Olé, Olé’.
The chanting was one thing. The heckling was another. The Canadian team were very good, playing a strong brand of possession football. It was easy to see why they were the reigning Olympic champions. However, they did have an unfortunate habit of collapsing to the ground and writhing around in imaginary pain whenever Ireland had momentum. This provoked calls from Katrina to ‘get them an ambulance’ and then, when the player inevitably returned to their feet having sufficiently disrupted the game, a cry of ‘it’s a miracle!’
Things have come full circle. Once, I shrank away as much as possible from organised sport. Now, all these years later, I’m back where I started, but I no longer feel embarrassed at my lack of prowess. Instead, I accept it. All of it. Now being forced out of my comfort zone (which is, admittedly, gigantic) is something to be grateful for. And I am.
Sport can be many things to many people. For some it is a way to demonstrate athletic prowess. For some it is the act of sharing an Arnott’s Gaiety and a cup of tea. For me, on that day, it was about sharing a bond that went beyond sport altogether. Ireland lost the match but won the singing. And we were happy.

PINES had no problems on Saturday against cellar-dwellers Bonbeach. The Pythons led at every break and kept Bonbeach to just two majors until the fourth quarter.
The margin was greatest at threequarter time when Pines were 84 points up before Bonbeach came back a little with four goals in the final quarter.
The final score was 18.11 (119) to Pines’ 6.11 (47). The Pythons ending the regular season third on the ladder.
Sorrento had a tough task at home against ladder leaders Dromana. The Tigers only lost one game for the season and would not be coming off the top of the table, no matter what the score.
An eight goal to three first quarter put the Sharks in their place from the get-go.
Sorrento matched it with in the second quarter going into the long break with the same 32-point margin as quarter time.
Dromana upped the pressure in the third and notched up four majors to Sorrento’s solitary goal to take a 54-point lead into three-quarter time.
The Tigers tightened the thumbscrews in the final quarter to run out 66-point winners.
Sorrento finished the home and away season in sixth place, while Dromana earned a rest for next week and are favourites for the flag.
Frankston Bombers took on Mt Eliza at Baxter Park in what was a game for pride. A win against the fourth placed
Redlegs would see the Bombers rise to fifth, but unable to dislodge Mt Eliza from fourth spot.
It was a tight affair all day, with Frankston leading at every break.
Three points up at quarter-time, Frankston only managed to be four points up at the main break.
Twelve points up at three-quarter time, the margin was only 11 points at the final siren.
The two teams will meet again next Sunday in the Elimination Final.
The Stonecats showed their style as they played host to Rosebud on Saturday.
A crushing seven goal to one first quarter put Frankston YCW 38 points up at the first break.
Only inaccuracy in front stopped the margin slipping out too much more in the second quarter with Frankston YCW kicking 2.5 to Rosebud’s 1.1.
A four goal to one in the third quarter saw the margin slip out to 69-points margin at the final break.
Rosebud livened up in the final quarter but the Stonecats may have already been thinking about finals football by then. The final scores were 17.13 (115) to 6.9 (45). Rosebud finished their season eighth on the ladder with six wins and 12 losses for the 2023 season. Frankston YCW finish the regular season second on the ladder and face Pines next week in the Qualifying Final.
Langwarrin came up against Red Hill on Saturday with neither team in finals contention.
It has been a difficult year for the Kangaroos after an undefeated year in Division Two in 2022, securing promotion to Division One, and then struggling to get wins.
In fact, Langwarrin only notched up three wins and one draw for the 2023 season, and 14 losses, perhaps having them wishing for the “good old days” in Division Two.
Saturday wasn’t going to prove any better for the Kangas. Red Hill came out strong and kept Langwarrin goalless in the first quarter. By half time, they had slotted a few but Red Hill still held a 22-point lead.
Red Hill kept Langwarrin to a single point in the third quarter stretching their lead to 42 points at three-quarter time.
It was all over, and Red Hill were just counting down the minutes to cutains for both team’s 2023 campaigns. Red Hill ended up winners 11.11 (77) to 5.8 (38).
KARINGAL took on Somerville on Saturday in the 2023 Qualifying Final. The winner would have the right to take on ladder leaders Mornington next week.
The first quarter was a tight and low scoring affair with both teams slotting 1.3.
Somerville hit the accelerator in the second but inaccuracy in front of goal cost them dearly. They managed only a single major for the quarter but nine minor scores, limping out to a lead that should have been much healthier than five points.
The third quarter was a similar affair with Somerville going into the final break with a 12 point lead.
The final saw a completely different Somerville come out. After scoring 4.16 in the first three quarters, they slammed on 7.4 in the final quarter to
leave Karingal in their wake taking the 12 point lead at three quarter time to a 44 point victory at the final siren.
The final scores were Somerville to 11.20 (86) to 5.12 (42).
Devon Meadows and Pearcedale finished fourth and fifth respectively, so met in the Elimination Final.
Two words summed up Devon Meadows day. Patrick Ryder. The exAFL star slotted seven goals for the Panthers in their 19-point win over Pearcedale.
Devon Meadows will now face Karingal next week.

The Lawton Park club made the announcement last week after scheduled talks between Miller, president Tanya Wallace and main sponsor Greg Kilner due to be held at the end of the season were brought forward.
Miller’s last match as head coach was Saturday’s 2-1 home win over Brunswick Juventus a result that confirmed the visitors’ relegation.
Goals from Brad Blumenthal and Tom Youngs sealed Juve’s fate but its cause wasn’t helped by the straight red brandished at Mathew Whatley in the opening seconds of the second half.
Miller’s first match at the helm was in round 1 of the 2019 season.
In all he was in charge in 90 league games winning 34, drawing 24 and losing 32 with Langy scoring 144 goals and conceding the same number of goals during this period.
The team’s highest finish was fourth in 2019.
“There’s been lots of rumours especially ones associating me with Bentleigh (Greens) but I made it clear to Tanya and Greg when we sat down last week that I have had no discussion with Bentleigh or any other club,”
Miller said.
Miller has not recommended a successor and Langwarrin is yet to decide whether or not to open up the appointment process.
“Had I made a recommendation I would have been biased as the plan always was to do five years then for Jamie (Skelly, assistant coach) to step into the role but in the end it comes down to what Jamie wants,” Miller said.
“I told Tanya and Greg that I didn’t want to be involved in selecting the next coach as I believe they need a fresh outlook and it has to be their decision to lead the club moving forward.
“I don’t know who’s interested in the job but I do know with what we’ve done at the club that it’s readymade to go to the next level so it’s a very attractive job.”
In State 1 Mornington’s 1-1 away draw with Malvern City on Saturday makes its grasp of second spot tenuous at best as third-placed Eltham and fourth-placed Malvern each have a game in hand against Richmond.
Shaun Kenny gave Mornington a 1-0 half-time lead but the Seagulls fell victim to a contentious refereeing decision when a penalty was awarded
to Malvern two minutes into stoppage time.
The Malvern player was clearly offside before colliding with Seagulls keeper Kane Runge.
In State 2 both Skye United and Frankston Pines remain in a relegation dogfight despite wins last weekend.
Skye led 1-0 at half-time at home on Saturday after Daniel Walsh converted the penalty awarded when Leo McLeod was fouled inside the area in the 30th minute.
Phil McGuinness’ men went further ahead in the 64th minute when veteran midfielder Mark O’Connor headed home Nhan Than’s cross.
Berwick hit back from the penalty spot through Nathan Credlin and a pivotal moment in this contest came in the dying minutes when Skye custodian Jonathan Crook made a crucial one-on-one save to preserve all three points.
Supersub Dylan Waugh scored the all-important third goal for Pines in their 3-2 away win over Knox City last weekend.
Pines were 2-0 up after nine minutes thanks to a Kaspar Fry goal on the break and Graham Hill’s finish after Knox keeper Thomas Andersen couldn’t punch clear effectively.
A minute later it was 2-1 when Pines defenders slid in and missed crucial tackles allowing Knox to break on the right then square the ball for Patric Ponce to tap in from point-blank
range.
Waugh made it 3-1 not long after coming on when he neatly controlled a long throw-in then hit a low shot on the turn that beat Andersen at his near post.
Ponce’s near post header from an 82nd minute corner made it 3-2 in the 85th minute and Pines held on for a vital three-pointer in its last-ditch try to avoid the drop.
Peninsula Strikers lost 4-2 away to title-chasing Brandon Park on Saturday.
Steve Elliott and Andy McIntyre scored for Strikers but defensive errors were costly.
In State 4 Sandringham all but sealed a promotion play-off spot with Friday night’s 3-1 away win over Chelsea.
Sandy had this wrapped up inside 15 minutes when it led 3-0.
Vinnie Van Dyk hit back for Chelsea in the 40th minute but Carlo Melino’s side couldn’t make further inroads.
It was Melino’s last home match in charge of Chelsea and both sets of players formed a guard of honour before the match to celebrate his six years at the helm.
Melino and Sandy coach Billy Natsioulas are long-standing friends having played and coached together.
Baxter still has a chance of snatching second spot from Sandringham after a nail-biting 3-2 away win over relegation battler Keysborough on Saturday.

ville keeper Nick Bucello and complete his hat-trick.
In State 5 Seaford United’s 2-1 home win over Bunyip District last weekend has won a third-placed finish and a promotion play-off spot for Paul Williams’ side.
Harry McCartney reports that offside pleas from Bunyip defenders went ignored as Josh Vega got clear on the left and side-footed the ball past Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo in the 44th minute to give Seaford a 1-0 halftime lead.
Two minutes into the second half a Bunyip free-kick was initially saved by Hayden Hicks only for Liam Lenders to head home the equaliser.
The decisive moment came in the 84th minute when a long-range strike from substitute Andrew Packer settled the issue.
Mount Eliza hammered Barton United 5-1 at Emil Masden Reserve on Saturday.
The win was spearheaded by a Jamie Powell hat-trick with Yodishtra Jagatheson and Cohan King also getting on the scoresheet.
Noah Green was given the responsibility of marking Keysborough playmaker Felipe Ulloa and was outstanding.
This allowed Brody Taylor to become instrumental in creating Baxter’s attacking moves.
Brodie Jones opened the scoring in the 14th minute from a scramble in the Keysborough box with Jones following up after his initial attempt came back off the bar.
Three minutes after the break Dylan Murchie doubled the lead with a cool finish but in the 59th minute the game almost descended into farce.
The referee awarded the first of two penalties in three minutes to Keysborough.
The second penalty resulted in the stand-in referee’s assistant handing the flag back to the referee who then bizarrely threw the flag away.
But Baxter fans were up and about in the 88th minute after big Jack Elliot poked home the winner.
Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 at home against Sandown Lions on Saturday.
Sandown led 2-0 at half-time through Dobuol Kong but the home side hit back in the 47th minute when a superb Marcus Anastasiou cross found Conor Mcfall at the back post who powered home his volley.
Despite pressing hard for an equaliser Somerville was punished when a defensive mix-up allowed Kong to break into a one-on-one with Somer-
An 89th minute penalty converted by Jaden Taberner gave Mount Martha a 1-0 home win over Aspendale last weekend while two Marcus Spivey goals couldn’t keep Casey Panthers at bay as Mentone went down 5-2 at home.
