Final touches for Edithvale upgrade plans
THE final design of the redeveloped Edithvale Shopping Strip is in the works.
Two years ago, Kingston Council announced it would spend $2.3 million provided by the Level Crossing Removal Project to upgrade the Edithvale Shopping Strip. The upgraded area will span 11 blocks from 280 Nepean Highway, Edithvale in the south, to north of the intersection at Nepean Highway and Natal Avenue. Council will spend another $1 million on flood mitigation.
Final designs for the redevelopment have now been released, and community consultation is underway to determine the colour of the finished product. Pop-up sessions took place in Edithvale last week, and online submissions can be made for the rest of the month.
Edithvale Collective president Kirralee Ashworth-Collett was among the attendees at the pop-up sessions. She said “the Collective has been pushing for the upgrade of Edithvale Village for almost seven years, so it’s exciting that we’re now at a point where detailed plans have been made and the community gets to have their say.”
“It’s been a long, hard slog but we’ve stuck at it, refused to take no for an answer, and are really pleased that the job is finally going to get done. This community deserves so much better than the current strip, which is in a shocking state of disrepair, and the upgrade can’t happen soon enough,” she said.
A completion date of 2026 has been targeted. To view the Edithvale plans and make a submission visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/help-select-a-colourpalette-for-edithvale by 30 July.

Train station targeted
VICTORIA Police officers were handed temporary powers to search people without warrants in the vicinity of Frankston Railway Station last week.
The area bounded by Nepean Highway to the west, Playne Street to the south, and Fletcher Road to the east and north was targeted by police during “Operation Shadower” last Thursday, 11 July, between 1pm and 11pm. During that time, police in the area had the power to search people, vehicles, and bags for weapons without a warrant.
The published order read that police can detain people “for so long as is reasonably necessary to conduct a search”, and can direct them to leave the area if they are wearing face coverings or “if the police officer reasonably believes the person intends to engage in conduct
that would constitute an affray”.
The temporary police powers were outlined in a state government gazette published on 8 July, three days before they were put into action. It stated that the declaration was made by the “Assistant Commissioner, Transit and Public Safety Command, acting as a delegate of the Chief Commissioner of Police” under section 10D(1) of the Control of Weapons Act 1990 (Vic).
In addition to the 11 July operation, Victoria Police says it also conducted “Operation Pentagon” at the train station from 2pm each day between 9 July and 11 July. During those times it dedicated extra officers and resources to policing the station. Six arrests were made across the two operations and three weapons were seized.
Teens charged over assaults
THREE teenagers have been charged over an alleged carjacking in Langwarrin which left a man with serious injuries.
Police allege that three people assaulted a person and stole a car from a house on Romsey Place in Langwarrin at around 1.45pm on 11 July. The 33-year-old victim was allegedly run over by the car, and was taken to hospital to treat serious injuries.
The stolen car was allegedly dumped on Paddington Road in Oakleigh. The alleged offenders then broke into a home on Carlisle Crescent, assaulted its elderly occupants, and ransacked the house. A man and woman in their 80s both sustained minor injuries.
Anton Hoffman, your local
Police arrested the three teenagers at the house. They charged a 17-year-old Reservoir boy and 17-year-old Langwarrin boy with aggravated home invasion and aggravated carjacking. A 17-year-old Oakleigh boy was charged with aggravated home invasion and aggravated carjacking, and was taken to hospital under police guard.
The Reservoir and Langwarrin boys were scheduled to face a children’s court.
Police have asked anyone with relevant information or footage of the alleged crimes to assist investigators by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Search begins for new hospital chief
PENINSULA Health CEO Felicity
Topp has resigned after more than six years in the top job.
Peninsula Health runs Frankston Hospital, Rosebud Hospital, and the Frankston Public Surgical Centre. Its board is now on the hunt for a new CEO - Adj Associate Professor Helen Cooper has been appointed acting CEO while a permanent replacement is sought.
Peninsula Health board chair Michael Gorton has praised Topp for her
work in the role, especially for helping the $1.1 billion Frankston Hospital redevelopment get off the ground.
“Peninsula Health has achieved many significant milestones under Felicity’s leadership, including the $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital - the largest health infrastructure investment in Melbourne’s southeast – which is now past the halfway mark, major growth in research, the opening of the Frankston Public Surgical Centre, Tarnbuk Centre, Ngranga
Centre, the Cancer & Clinical Trials Hub at Rosebud and the launch of the Healthy Lives 2028 Strategic Plan,” Gorton said. “Felicity leaves a lasting legacy and we thank her enormous contribution to our local community.
“We have commenced a search for a new CEO to take us into our next stage with the commencement of the new hospital in early 2026.”
Topp finished in the CEO role on 30 June.

Paving the way for kid’s smooth return
WHILE the students from Nepean School in Seaford were enjoying their school holidays, a few volunteers moved mountains to make their return easier.
The main car park had become damaged due to building works at the school and was covered in deep potholes. The school faced the dilemma of being unable to find a more permanent solution to the damaged car park while the works were continuing.
Many of the kids at the school, which caters for students with physical disabilities and/or complex health impairment, rely on walkers or wheelchairs, so the car park was unsustainable in its current state.
The owner of TNM Road Services, a civil contracting company based in Devon Meadows, heard of the school’s plight and decided to step in.
“The company reached out to the school and offered to donate 30 tonnes of crushed rock to
repair our carpark,” said Maya Pinn, who is on the Nepean School council.
“We happily accepted their kind offer!”
TNM Road Services had the crushed rock delivered to the school and two volunteers, Brad Oates and Darren Pallant, organised a skid steer and compactor, at their own expense, and set about filling the potholes and re-gravelling the entire car park.
“It was a huge job. They worked very hard, and school principal Claire Toohey took time out of the holidays to supervise the works,” said Ms Pinn.
“Now the kids will get to come back to school to a nice, smooth carpark.
“We really wanted to thank all those involved; TNM Road Services, Brad and Darren for making this happen. They have done something great for kids and parents who already have a very different life to others; to help them enjoy their school environment.”
Swim teacher named the best
A PENINSULA Aquatic Recreation Centre teacher has been named the country’s best at a national awards night.
Shannon Gardner was named the “swim teacher of the year” at the 2024 Aquatics and Recreation Victoria Awards last week. The PARC employee said that winning the award was a “dream come true”.
“It’s a surreal feeling and achievement; one that I would not have reached without the support of my colleagues, and my past and present students and their families. I love being a swim teacher and helping develop such important life skills that go beyond what is taught in the pool,” Gardner said. “This award is a testa-
ment to the hard work and passion we all put into our PARC swimming program and living our vision that every child in Frankston can swim.” Peninsula Leisure also won the Community Impact Initiative of the Year Award at last week’s event. Peninsula Leisure CEO Kath Thom said “these awards reflect our commitment to making a positive impact in our community.”
“We are incredibly proud of Shannon and our entire team for their dedication and innovative approaches. This recognition inspires us to continue our mission of providing accessible and inclusive programs for all people in Frankston to be active and safer around water,” she said.

Walkers unite for cause
ORGANISERS of the ‘Peninsula Peace Walk for Palestine’ in Mornington last Sunday week (7 July) say the event turnout showed strong support for an end to the war in Gaza.
One of the main organisers, Stefan Raabe, said the idea of the walk was to create access for people on the Mornington Peninsula who want to be involved in peaceful protest against the genocide and “apartheid”.
“We planned the walk to coincide with the action that takes place each Sunday outside the State Library. Not everyone can travel into the city every weekend,” he said.
More than 30 people joined the walk in Main Street, Mornington.
Peninsula resident Sarah Russell, who is the chair of Progressives of the Peninsula, said organisers knew there would be support. “However, we were surprised by the large number of people who turned out.”
Resident, women’s right campaigner and peace walker Marg D’Arcy said organisers brought the walk together in less than three weeks after “a one-hour meeting with Stefan, Sarah and myself
and six people in a WhatsApp chat group,” she said.
“We all got behind an issue that we cared about and made the walk happen.”
The walkers say they oppose the war in Gaza and “the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, the mass killing of women and children, journalists, healthcare and aid workers”.
Rosebud resident and member of the Mornington Peninsula Human Rights Group, Julie Pittle, decided to attend the walk to support human rights.
“Breaches of human rights and war crimes are occurring not only in Gaza but all around the world. The situation in Gaza is a particularly egregious situation.”
“The rights of people all around the world are intertwined. A breach in Gaza undermines our human rights here.”
Raabe said a longer walk to match the 40-kilometre distance from the north and south of Gaza may be planned for later in the year.

The Summit will provide an opportunity for collaboration and connection through networking, workshops, and panel discussions. Music journalist and broadcaster Jane Gazzo, who will be facilitating many of the Summit panels and says relationships are the currency of the music industry:
“A lot of the time, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know, and the idea of this year’s Summit is to really foster support and strengthen bonds for both musicians and venues while offering invaluable advice and ideas to everyone, whether you’re an emerging artist or an established muso. It is a challenging time for many in the arts and becoming even more competitive for local artists to successfully break into the music scene. We need to cultivate Australia’s thriving live music culture and, as part of that, look for opportunities to nurture our upcoming talent.”

A Surprise Birthday Party – Mr W. Priest Honoured
Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Monday last, Mr. Mark Brody, the well-known land and estate agent, of Frankston, had a bright item of news to tell a representative of “The Standard.”
The previous week a little bird whispered to Mr. Brody that the anniversary of Mr. Priest’s birthday was on the wing, and the ever-wide-awake “Mark,” as he likes to be called, hit upon the idea that a surprise party would be just the thing to “fill the bill.”
So he approached Mr. W. G. Wells, who supplies excellent joints of choice beef for his many customers, and that urbane gentleman said to the irresistible Mr. Brody:
“Right-o ! You fix everything up.”
Mr. Brody did, and thus it came about that on Wednesday evening, a week ago, Messrs. Mark Brody (the originator of the happy idea), M. Jacobs, Nelson, Morrison, G. Dugan, A. Tasker (the popular A.S.M.), S. Lawrey, B. Morgan, and C. Woods (the well-known tonsorial artist), congregated at the residence of Mr. Priest, and did honor to the auspicious occasion.
In proposing the toast of the guest, Mr. Brody eulogised in an appropriate vein the qualities of which he was possessed, and alluded to the many acts of goodness in “both money and kind” that Mr. Priest had performed in an unostentatious manner.
In his remarks, Mr. Brody was supported by all present.
The guest suitably responded.
A most pleasant evening was spent, interspersed with songs and musi-
cal items. A delectable supper was served, the appetising viands being supplemented with choice vintage, the ever-favorite “gold-top” being much enjoyed.

THE motor oil delivery tank of the Commonwealth Oil Refineries Ltd. made a further delivery of 1000 gallons of bulk motor spirit to Frankston on Wednesday last.
This is the third delivery to Frankston in the last few weeks, and on Friday a further delivery will be made.
Undoubtedly this bulk delivery is a great boon to Frankston re-sellers of motor spirit.

PERSONAL
Mr M. J. Canny,well and favorably known in Frankston, and a constant summer visitor to the town is much spoken of for the vacant commissionership of the Victorian Railways.
The many friends of Mrs. R. Morgan, the popular proprietress of the up-to-date De Luxe tea rooms, Young street, who is at present a patient in Sister Campbell’s well-known private hospital, Melbourne road, under the care of Dr. Hilliard Johnson, will be pleased to hear that she is progressing favorably. We join in wishing Mrs. Morgan a speedy recovery.
Mr. T. Hurley, who, for the past eighteen months,’ was stationed as clerk in the railway booking office at the Frankston depot, has been transferred to Clifton Hill. Mr. Hurley is a most zealous and courteous officer, and we wish him every prosperity in his new sphere.
Mr. E. G. Finn, from Essendon, has
taken Mr. Hurey’s position, and if a first impression of him may be cited as a criterion, he should become equally as popular as his predecessor did.

FRANKSTON POLICE COURT
At the above court on Tuesday last, L. Davey, of “Gowrie” Mt Eliza, made, application for a Estate Agent’s Licence, which was granted.
A conscientious objector, respect of vaccination, was muleted the nominal penalty of 5/-.

MR. Macafee, of the Lounge Circulating Library, in Bay street, Frankston, has good reason to be proud of his enterprise.
His stock of modern novels are by leading authors, and a special catalogue is in course of preparation, giving a full list of the interesting books available, which will appear through our next issue, while supplementary lists will be advertised each week.
The fine new premises also comprises an up-to-date tailoring establishment. Gent’s own material is made up, by a practical men, so customers are recommended to bring along suit lengths which they may have purchased. He will do the rest.
In conjunction, there is a splendid lounge billiard room, of which Mr. V. Carter is the popular proprietor. Tomorrow evening (Saturday) a unique wireless demonstration will be, given by a representative of the Associated Radio, and, if successful, Mr. Carter will install a permanent set.

Lyle, in Wells street, Frankston, has long been classed as the wonder shop of the town, inasmuch, that the various assortment of goods displayed therein, convinces customers of versatile tastes, that, if desired, there can be purchased anything from a needle to an anchor.
Mr. Lyle has, moreover, opened up a new crockery department next door to his present store, and will specialise in this particular line. He invites inspection.

FRANKSTON TENNIS CLUB
Elsewhere in this issue, Mr.. P. S. McGovern, the energetic honorary secretary of the Frankston Tennis Club, notifies that a general meeting of the same will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Thursday evening of next week. As the business will be of an important nature, a full attendance is requested.
***
EVER since the Christmas trade, Mr. O. J. Olsen, proprietor of the Frankston Garage, which is situated next door to the police station, on the Melbourne road, having had a big demand for petrol, has been, to use his own phrase: “Fighting with the British Imperial Vacuum, Oil Companies for bulk delivery at Frankston,” and at the hour of going to press we are informed that the first delivery of bulk petrol, made by the said companies, will be delivered today at the well-known garage in question.
This supply of petrol is going to prove of great advantage, inasmuch,
that it will do away with the hitherto loss of time, and will be delivered straight from the tank into the bowser.
Mr. Olsen is to be congratulated on his enterprise.
***
THE entertainment given at the Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday of last week in aid of the Frankston High School funds was most successful, approximately £17 accruing as a result.
Mr. P. Wheeler, J.P., chairman of the High school council, in opening the concert, said he regretted that a prior engagement prevented his staying throughout the evening, but hoped everyone would enjoy themselves, and thanked them for their support.
The whole of the programme was given by the 1st Mornington Girl Guides, in charge of Capt. R. H. Aicken, and it would be hard to single out any particular item more than another that is deserving of special mention.
The programme consisted of recitations, solos, action songs, costume comedies and folk dances.
The latter were specially appealing.
The music for these dances was composed by the Ven. Archdeacon Aickin, who acted as accompanist throughout.
At the conclusion, Mr. R. E. Chapman (headmaster of the High school) thanked all those who so kindly assisted in making the entertainment a success, also Mr. L. Davey for bringing the Guides from Mornington at his own expense.
Cr. Bradbury seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation.

MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
ROSEBUD came close to pulling off an upset against Dromana last weekend, but fell just short.
Dromana has lost just twice this season, and sits on top of the ladder. Rosebud came into the game with seven wins and five losses.
Rosebud landed a huge blow in the first quarter, and went into the first break with a 24 point lead. They scored five consecutive goals to start the match.
Dromana woke up in the second quarter, and hit back with four goals of their own. At the main break the Tigers trailed Rosebud by just three points.
Rosebud led by a goal at three-quarter-time, but Dromana kept on applying the pressure. The ladder leaders eventually overpowered Rosebud, and went on to claim a narrow seven point win.
Dromana came from behind to beat Rosebud 8.8 (56) to 9.9 (63). Jake Aarts, Clayton Gay, Riley Davis, Billy Quigley, and William Slattery were the Tigers’ best. Nic Sakalis booted three goals for Rosebud.

MEN'S DIV TWO
A TEN-goal haul from Brent Eddy was one of the highlights of a thrilling match between Pearcedale and ladder leaders Edithvale-Aspendale last weekend.
Edi-Asp hosted the match. Pearcedale proved they were up for the challenge in the first quarter, and went into the first break ahead by eight points. Both sides traded goals throughout the day. At the three-quarter-timebreak, Pearcedale led by just one point.
Pearcedale scored a goal to go ahead by 13 points halfway through the fi-
nal term, but Edithvale-Aspendale wouldn’t quit. They kept on fighting, and eventually kicked ahead in the closing stages of the game.
Pearcedale had a late chance to win the game, but couldn’t capitalise. Edithvale-Aspendale just held on for a nail-biting one point win 18.10 (118) to 18.9 (117).

Stinson leads Chelsea title tilt
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHELSEA has set the State 4 South title race alight by becoming the first team since 2022 to inflict a loss on table-topping Hampton Park United.
A solitary goal was all that separated these sides at KM Reedy Reserve on Saturday and league top scorer James Stinson was on the mark once more.
The English ace emphasised his importance to the Chelsea cause when a pinpoint through ball from Adam Bartosy in the 52nd minute allowed Stinson to round Hampton Park keeper Michael Almeida and calmly finish the move.
The home side would have hit back soon after if not for a point-blank save from Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies and in the 70th minute Harry Parker and Stinson combined to set up Christian Murray who shot just wide with the goal at his mercy.
Chelsea endured a nervy final 10 minutes but managed to keep Hampton Park at bay much to the delight of the travelling fans and head coach Gus Macleod.
“We’re definitely doing better than we anticipated and it’s obviously very enjoyable when you’re winning,” Macleod said.
“We’ve still got a wee bit to go to catch the top two but I think this win will give the boys a lot of confidence.
“We play Baxter this week and that will be a tough one in every shape and form.”
Early in the season there were doubts about Chelsea’s depth and its ability to maintain a promotion push but the recent re-signing of midfield dynamo Connor Scott and defender Sam Dunn has strengthened the squad.
Both came off the bench in Saturday’s contest.
Chelsea also has signed experienced keeper Chris England as a replacement for Tom Carter who has joined Aspendale.
Chelsea is now three points behind league leader Monash University and two points behind Hampton Park.
Baxter goes into Saturday’s derby at Edithvale Recreation Reserve with just one win in its last five games and last weekend it went down 3-2 away to Endeavour United.
Fijian international Anish Khem has found his scoring touch with Baxter and his double against Endeavour brings his tally to five in four appearances.
He should be joined shortly by fellow Fijian Edward Aaron who was due to arrive in Melbourne as we went to press.
Aaron, 32, plays with Lautoka and is a leftsided defender or midfielder.
In other State 4 results Somerville Eagles hit back from the previous week’s disappointment to record a 2-0 away win over Keysborough on Saturday.
The visitors led at the interval thanks to Alessio Izzo who was brought down inside the area and converted the resultant penalty.
Keysborough keeper Austin Kearney kept his side in the contest in the second half until substitute Marcus Anastasiou pounced on a goalmouth scramble to give Somerville a two-goal cushion.
Anastasiou was back after a six-week injury break and the Eagles talisman no doubt will play a vital role in their prospects for the remainder of the season.
Mentone beat Lyndale United 3-2 with goals from Daniel Passente, Adam Leander and Dylan Taylor.
In VPL1 news Langwarrin moved into fifth spot on the ladder leapfrogging FC Bulleen Lions who were outplayed by the locals 4-2 at Lawton Park on Friday night.
Top scorer Archie Macphee opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a lethal left-foot free-kick and youngster Dante Avian made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute.
Bulleen failed to deal with a Luke Goulding corner and Avian finished off a one-two with Luke Adams from close range.
The visitors hit back seven minutes later when Dante Conte’s cross from the right was skilfully taken down by Phineus Harbinson and slotted wide of advancing Langy keeper Griffin Bambach.
Bulleen missed a gilt-edged opportunity to level in the 52nd minute.
Dennis Menelaou had only been on as a sub for a few seconds when he skinned Adams and Barath Suresh only to be denied by a superb reflex save from Bambach.
Ryo Takahashi made an indelible mark on this contest in the 73rd minute after a slick interpassing exchange between Suresh, Avian and the Japanese import ended with Bulleen keeper James Siekris grasping at thin air as Takahashi’s strike from just outside the area brought roars of approval from the home team’s supporters.
But Langy didn’t enjoy a two-goal breather for long because Bulleen substitute Hussain Al Sharifi was at the back post five minutes later to head home a pinpoint chipped cross from Conte on the left to make it 3-2.
It was time for Takahashi to show everyone that he’s lethal with either foot and in the 82nd minute he unleashed a low right-foot drive from outside the area to seal Bulleen’s fate.
Langy’s Rogan McGeorge and James Kelly were suspended but are available for selection this weekend.
In State 1 news Mornington continues to struggle and Saturday’s 2-0 home loss to Mazenod leaves the local club in a relegation dogfight.
In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers maintained their promotion push with an excellent 4-2 away win over Chisholm United last Friday night.
It was clear early that Campbell Steedman’s pace was a problem for the Chisholm right back and Steedman struck in the 23rd minute.
A superb through ball from man-of-the-match
Jaiden Madaferri split open the home team’s defence and Steedman calmly slotted the ball past advancing Chisholm keeper Rani Dowisha.
Tommy Wood couldn’t capitalise on a oneon-one with Dowisha two minutes later and Chisholm striker Malle Samson equalised with a firm strike from outside the box in the 42nd minute.
Gerasimos Kavadas put Chisholm 2-1 up from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute but two minutes later the home side failed to clear from a corner and Stevie Elliott hammered home a volley to level.
Good lead-up work by Riley Anderton in the 75th minute was rewarded when Wood rolled his defender then buried the ball in the bottom corner.
There was no way back for Chisholm three minutes later after Cooper Andrews was fouled in the box and Anderton converted from the spot.
Skye United asked questions of league leader Bayside Argonauts but eventually went down 3-2 at Shipston Reserve on Saturday.
Daniel Attard and Alex Roberts scored for Skye.
In State 5 news Rosebud extended its lead at the top of the table with a tough 1-0 away win over Endeavour Hills Fire.
Stuart Johnston’s side remains unbeaten this season and came up against an Endeavour Hills outfit with a defensive plan in place.
Experienced Rosebud strikers Mark Pagliarulo and Dave Greening both missed chances to break the deadlock in the first half and central defender Dougie Cunnison was forced off at half-time due to injury.
But the title favourite found a way to win and the decisive moment came in the 84th minute when Jack Wyer was on the end of an Andy Jerez corner and after taking a touch hammered a low strike into the bottom corner of goal much to the
delight of Rosebud’s travelling faithful.
Seaford United and Aspendale both are zeroing in on a second-placed finish and emphasised their credentials with impressive wins last weekend.
Aspendale hammered second-placed FC Noble Hurricanes 4-1 at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground in a match highlighted by Gianluca Bozzo’s first-half hat-trick.
Just two minutes had elapsed when Bozzo ran onto Lewis Marco’s pass and finished well past Hurricanes keeper Elvis Alimovski.
In the 35th minute Bozzo skipped past two defenders then struck his shot into the bottom corner and six minutes later effectively ended the contest when Jordy Athanassiou found him on the wing and he cut inside then slotted the ball past Alimovski for a third time.
Early in the second half an Athanassiou cross was handled inside the area and Koray Yildirim converted to make it 4-0.
By the time the Hurricanes replied their fate had been sealed.
Seaford’s 5-1 home win over Casey Panthers leaves Paul Williams’ side with its eyes firmly fixed on a promotion pathway.
In the 22nd minute an inswinging free-kick from Blake Hicks found the back of the net and a quickfire double from Cory Osorio which included a penalty gave the visitors a mountain to climb in the second half.
Josh Vega made it 4-0 in the 56th minute when he pounced on the rebound after a Hicks effort was saved by the Casey keeper and Hicks made it 5-0 shortly after when Casey failed to deal with a corner.
The visitors’ consolation goal came from the penalty spot after Rosh Livera brought down an opponent inside the box.
Mount Martha had its best win of the season when downing neighbouring Mount Eliza 3-2 at Civic Reserve on Saturday in a match that doubles as the Mental Health Safety Net Cup.
The visitors led at half-time thanks to a converted penalty from Austin Mcewen but three second-half goals by the home side turned this contest on its head.
The equaliser came in the 60th minute when big Davey Jones slid in to finish a ball played in from the left and nine minutes later Marcus Poda scored from the spot after being brought down inside the area.
Mount Martha went further ahead in the 79th minute after Jayden Taberner was put through and slipped the ball past Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao.
In the dying moments of the game James Powell made it 3-2 but Mount Martha couldn’t be denied a second straight win.
