Drivers could be compensated after chaos on road

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

DRIVERS who sustained damage to their cars while driving on Frankston Freeway last week could be eligible for compensation.

A huge pothole which damaged

dozens of cars on Frankston Freeway has been repaired. The pothole wreaked havoc on traffic on the evening of 3 October.

More than a dozen cars had to be towed away for repairs before the situation was rectified.

The Department of Transport and Planning has confirmed that the hole has now been repaired. “Our crews

have completed emergency repairs to repair a pothole on the Frankston Freeway on Tuesday night,” a Department of Transport statement read. Bad weather was blamed for the road’s poor condition. “Periods of heavy rainfall increases the chances of potholes forming on our roads. This is why we have crews out in -

specting every kilometre of our road network on a regular basis, identifying and repairing hazards if and when they do occur,” the department statement read.

The pothole was reported to authorities at 10pm, and was fixed later during the night of the incidents.

Signs were placed on the road after the completion of works warning

motorists about the rough surface. No speed reductions were implemented after the repairs were finished.

Drivers who sustain damage to their cars because of poor road quality could receive compensation if deemed eligible. For more information and to apply visit vicroads.vic. gov.au.

THE message of conservation will be spread at a communal colouring event later this month.

The Australian Conservation Fund Mornington branch is hosting a “Community for Creatures” day at the Frankston foreshore on 22 October. Visitors on the day will colour in a large banner adorned with endangered animals to raise awareness.

Australian Conservation Fund Mornington member Sue Miles said she hopes the event will engage younger people in conservation ef-

Now in its 12th year, with more than $1.4 million in grants already delivered, IF Business Grants make today’s business vision tomorrow’s reality.

This year there is $180,000 available

with grants between $5,000–$20,000 on offer to help business; expand to a larger space, invest in capital, relocate or expand business to Frankston City or move an existing home based or mobile business to a vacant commercial, industrial or retail space in Frankston City.

forts. “For Community for Creatures we’re getting people to colour in a banner with endangered species and we are presenting it to our MP Peta Murphy,” she said. “We are going to head down to the promenade, hang out for two hours, and whoever happens to be down there can come and colour in and have a bit of fun.

“I want to engage the younger generation because they’re the ones that are going to clean up this world.”

This is the first time the Mornington branch has run the event. It has

engaged students from Dromana Secondary College to help - the school is running an art competition for students in years seven to nine with ACF supplying prizes to the winners. Rosebud Book Barn has also donated a $50 voucher.

The event takes place at the Frankston foreshore, by Pier Promenade, on October 22 between 1pm and 3pm. For more information and to register attendance visit acf.org.au/ community-for-creatures-frankston

Protect your business and your workers

Under Victorian law, companies that provide these services must be licensed, to protect workers and improve the fairness and integrity of the labour hire industry.

If you use an unlicensed labour hire provider, it could cost you – fines of over $600,000, impacts on your workers and disruption to your business. And if your business provides labour hire services, you need to ensure you meet your licence obligations – to contribute to a fairer industry, avoid penalties, and provide assurance to your clients.

Free Frankston parking to continue

FREE two-hour parking at four Frankston locations will continue.

Free parking has been in place at the Frankston East car park between Young Street and the train line, the Cranbourne Road car park opposite Frankston Fire Station, the Playne Street car park, and the Mechanics Hall car park. The initiative began in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The free parking agreement expired on 25 July. At its 2 October meeting Frankston

councillors agreed to make the free parking ongoing. The next 12 months of free parking at those locations is estimated to cost $140,000.

Councillor David Asker said the move was “the very least we can do” for business owners in the Frankston CBD, and hoped it would encourage people to spend more time in cafes and other local venues.

Other options considered by Frankston Council were to extend the

free parking provision until April next year and receive a report on its viability, or to scrap it entirely.

The move to make the free parking ongoing was supported by all present councillors except the mayor Nathan Conroy, who flagged support for the April extension instead.

Premier retains MP’s position

FRANKSTON MP Paul Edbrooke will remain the parliamentary secretary to the treasurer under new Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

Edbrooke (pictured below) has held the position since June last year. He has previously served as parliamentary secretary for bushfire recovery, police, and emergency services.

Pool chair reappointed for three more years

PENINSULA Leisure chair Julie Busch has been reappointed for three years.

Busch’s new appointment runs until 31 January 2027. She has been in the role since January 2021.

Peninsula Leisure operates the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre. It is owned by Frankston Council, but independently run.

Prayer’s place at council questioned

A PROPOSAL to consider scrapping the prayer read at the beginning of Frankston Council meetings has failed at the first hurdle.

Public Frankston Council meetings are preceded by the reading of a prayer, addressed to “Almighty God”.

Councillor Sue Baker raised a motion at council’s 2 October meeting asking for a report into the “appropriateness of a single faith prayer”. She called the motion a “response to the changing landscape of councils and community.”

“2021 census data reveals that our community is changing, and religious affiliations are changing,” Baker said. “The use of a Christian prayer or a single-faith prayer is inclusive of less than half of the population of the Frankston community.”

The request for a report was unsuc-

cessful. Councillors Baker, Claire Harvey, and Brad Hill voted for it, and councillors Nathan Conroy, Liam Hughes, and Suzette Tayler opposed. Kris Bolam and David Asker abstained, and Steven Hughes was absent due to suspension.

The mayor Nathan Conroy said that he was concerned the move would spark protests. “This prayer has been around for decades, 70 years as mentioned previously. It does mean a lot to me personally and I also believe it’s part of our sevendecade long history,“ he said. “We have a rich history of Christianity here in Frankston from the Irish and UK population as well.

“In this instance I would prefer not to go to consultation because I believe in the status quo of the prayer at the council meeting.”

The motion proposed by Baker would have seen a report sent to council in February next year - the report was proposed to cover the purpose of the prayer, the practice at other Victorian councils, and opportunities for consultation.

A summary prepared by Frankston Council officers read that council had not reviewed its prayer practice since its implementation in 1953.

“Of the 79 [councils] in Victoria, approximately half continue to include a Christian prayer, and the other half have either dispensed with the prayer or (a small number) have a rotating interfaith arrangement,” council officers wrote. “Members of the community of Frankston City have asked why a Christian prayer is included in local government meetings.”

Brodie Cowburn

Newly-appointed Premier Allan unveiled her cabinet earlier this month. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny remains as planning minister - she was appointed to the role last July by Daniel Andrews. She has also been named the “minister for the suburbs”.

“Sonya Kilkenny will retain her responsibilities as minister for planning and also become minister for the suburbs as she continues to drive a package of planning reforms from Victoria’s Housing Statement – clearing the backlog of approvals, making sure good decisions are made faster and guiding the way our suburbs grow,” a statement from the Premier read.

Registers to be published

REGISTERS of gifts, developer contributions, interstate travel, and legal expenses will be publicly posted on Frankston Council’s “transparency hub” web page from December.

Frankston Council’s transparency hub was launched in September last year. It currently tracks things including councillor expenses and attendances, infrastructure project schedules, financial records, and more.

Last week, Frankston councillors approved the publication of a range of new data. This includes registers of developers and lobbyists involved with council, developer contributions, external submissions, petitions, gifts, consultancy fees, conflicts of interest, legal expenses, and interstate travel.

Summaries of conduct matters and key management and senior officer remuneration will also be posted.

Golf course sale still on the cards

KINGSWOOD Golf Gourse owner AustralianSuper has confirmed it still plans to sell the site despite the planning minister’s recent rezoning approval.

Planning minister Sonya Kilkenny confirmed that the Dingley Village site would be rezoned for development last month, although didn’t approve AustralianSuper’s submitted plans. The plan was sent to her around 18 months ago.

AustralianSuper announced it intended to sell the site weeks before Kilkenny’s decision. It confirmed to The Times that the sale process was proceeding.

“AustralianSuper is looking to sell the former Kingswood Golf Course site,” AustraliaSuper development senior investment director Fiona Dunster said. “The fund has reviewed its property portfolio and identified several assets globally that are no longer aligned with the new strategy and should be considered for divestment, this includes the former Kingswood Golf Course site.”

The golf course at 179-217 Centre Dandenong Road was bought by AustralianSuper for $125 million in 2014. The super fund had planned to build around 800 dwellings on the land, but failed to get the project approved for years.

A statement from Kingston Council read that it was disappointed in the rezoning, saying that its housing strategy would help ease the housing crisis instead.

“Kingston Council joins with the Dingley Village community in its disappointment that valuable green open space at the Kingswood Golf Course site has been rezoned for housing by the Victorian minister for planning,” it read.

“Kingston’s housing strategy is a positive plan that identifies more suitable sites for new housing growth to meet the forecast demand, and we call on the minister to approve this plan as soon as possible. “

Council sent its draft housing strategy and neighbourhood character study to the planning minister for approval in August. In the 2021 draft of the strategy, 77.24 per cent of land in the Kingston municipality was zoned “neighbourhood residential” to limit development to two storeys.

Vandalising Yes signs is anti-democratic

Many community members have been saddened by vandalism to vote Yes signs across the Mornington Peninsula.

This vandalism is not just random tagging by kids, it seems to be an organised campaign by people who, for some reason, are angered by the democratic process and the right of everyone to express their opinion. This has ranged from painting No across the signs to actually cutting the Yes from real estate type boards. This process would take some time and effort and property owners report feeling unsafe and violated by such a concerted effort to deface their property. If people feel strongly about encouraging a No vote, then they should be prepared to display their own signs and campaign via respectful conversations.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the No campaign seem happy to incite fear, anger and resentment by spreading misinformation which can result in some people taking aggressive and destructive action against their fellow citizens.

ward. If we acknowledge our ancient Indigenous history along with our British history we can then strengthen the diverse multicultural society that is today’s Australia.

As a proud First Nations Jawoyn woman I employ my fellow Australians to vote Yes.

Path to unity

Fischer, Arthurs Seat

So sad that such a simple, straightforward and positive proposal to amend our constitution has become politicised. Deb

Democracy desecrated

I am used to a bit of hostility in election campaigns and some silliness around signs. However, this campaign has left me gob smacked. Every day I hear from someone who has had their Yes corflutes taken down or vandalised. What is happening?

The No supporters do not put up signs, they don’t wear t-shirts with the No slogan; I have rarely even seen a car sticker. And yet they vandalise the Yes posters. They cut the yes out, they paint them over, they take them down, there was even one set on fire. An irate No voter put no stickers all over my friend’s car after abusing her at the polling booth.

And they are grumpy and angry, sentiments being fuelled by some of the extremists in the No campaign.

I am concerned about what this means for our democracy. Marg

No change needed

I couldn’t get to the voting centre fast enough after seeingan Indigenous senator behaving so badly on TV on 5 October.

It just shows what will happen if they get more voice. A yes vote will divide the country I love.

As for the young boys in gaol, they’re not there unless they break the law. I do not believe they deserve special treatment.

Benefits such as pension and allowances are available to all, black or white. I do not think we need to change.

Historic crossroad

On Saturday 14 October Australia will stand at the crossroads of the history of our country.

In the [Voice to Parliament] referendum we will be asked two simple questions: Will we recognise First Nation’s people in our Constitution?

Do we support a voice to advice parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?

I believe that we must answer Yes based on the simple fact that:

It is time to recognise the 60,000 year custodians of this land. First Nations people are integral of our history. It’s a profound fact.

To date Indigenous advisory councils have been hand-picked by the government of the day. We need our Voice to come from the people in our communities. We know the solutions to our problems we just need to be empowered to implement them.

Unfortunately, opportunity for respectful debate has been thwarted by:

Don’t know Vote No limits informed discussion and disrespects our democracy.

A tsunami of fake news, misinformation and provocative disinformation has created fear and confusion. Particularly for the majority of Australians who have little contact with First Nations people.

It is time for Australia to unite and move for-

I long for October 14th to be a Cathy Freeman/ Matildas’ moment where we feel proud of our country.

Irene Fisher, Dromana

Claims that an Indigenous Voice to Parliament would be unfair to Australia’s ethnic communities and thus will be divisive, are not evidencebased.

The fact is that this year the Voice gained formal support from 120 peak ethnic groups in an endorsement by the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia.

Attempts to confuse voters with terms are misleading: the proposed Voice is about indigeneity, not ethnicity.

Only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can claim indigeneity and hence entitlement to recognition in the Constitution as First Peoples. This does not then disadvantage any ethnic group.

In fact, Diana Lin, director for community engagement at the Chinese Community Council of Australia, has described the Voice referendum as an opportunity for diverse Australian communities to unite.

Likewise, at a broader level, having different opinions is not divisive; it is healthy. We don’t all support the same political party in a democracy, and certainly not the same footy team.

Finally, the proposed Indigenous Voice offers us all one unique moment in time, gifting a precious opportunity: the potential for a nation reconciled with its past.

We will be on the path to a unified nation.

Maureen Donelly, Mornington

Yes is for all

I daily fluctuate between hope and despair of my fellow Australians. There is unbelievable ignorance in abundance, listening to the arguments as to why the Yes vote should fail.

Sadly, it reflects the lack of our education system, of how little we were taught about our incredible First Nations Peoples, the world’s oldest living people living continuously in their/ our country.

The world will be watching the results on 14 October and will be left in no doubt that if this referendum fails, Australia will be seen as a racist, uneducated, ignorant peoples.

We are already living the No scenario. The status quo. We need to vote Yes for change.

I will be very proud to be voting Yes, it is the very least I can do to start a process of a more equal, fairer society, for all Australians.

Denise Hassett, Mount Martha

Voice an opportunity

It has been very interesting following the debate on the Voice referendum in your letters pages as it replicates very closely the national debate.

The ‘No campaign has essentially created a straw man in asking the public to vote no to a supposed legislative body with executive powers, which the Voice to Parliament is explicitly not.

This obfuscation has been reinforced with a suggestion that “if you don’t know vote no” when surely the appropriate response to not knowing should be to find out?

In February 2008 then prime minister Kevin Rudd issued an apology to Australia’s Indigenous people for, particularly the Stolen Generations. This was a unifying and edifying moment in our country’s history.

The Voice to Parliament referendum offers a similar opportunity by recognising the First Nations people in our constitution and providing an opportunity to make representations to our elected representatives in the national parliament.

Unfortunately, this unifying opportunity has been seized on by some as a vehicle to create di-

vision in our community for supposedly political gain. This is both shameful and egregious.

Geoff Hilton, Mount Martha

Be informed to vote

Amid the muddy pool of Voice referendum misinformation, the proactivity of the If You Don’t Know, Just Ask campaigners on the Mornington Peninsula is admirable (“Progressives offer Yes, No details” The News 3/10/23).

Australia’s last referendum was 24 years ago and our constitution has remained unchanged since 1977. That’s 46 years ago. Opportunities for improvement, however small, do not come around very often. It’s important that Australians understand that the Voice would recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and has the potential to close the plethora of health and socioeconomic gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

This is an important moment in time. Make it count. Make an informed vote on 14 October.

Amy Hiller, Kew

Ignoring drugs, alcohol

Again, the MP for Frankston Paul Edbrooke has been seen as missing in action on the issue of the closing of the Frankston Healthcare Medical Centre because the Victorian government did not support the centre which assisted drug addicts (“Emergency pressure” The News 3/10/23).

It seems that Mr Edbrooke is too busy supporting safe injecting rooms which keeps heroin users addicted to heroin.

He is yet to say if he supports a safe injecting room being established in Frankston.

The Frankston Council is also a culprit of family violence being committed in Frankston with it’s pro “off premises licences” rubber stamping approvals.

Taking alcohol into the family home is a main cause of family violence.

I have opposed some applications for “Off Premises Licences” and use family violence as the reason for my objection, but the council ignores my objection and grants the liquor licences.

It seems that victims of drugs and alcohol are just people to be ignored in Frankston.

Russell Morse, Karingal

MP’s ‘easy call’

Our local member [Flinders MP] Zoe McKenzie has expended some money (presumably taxpayers money) on a neat little sign at the Uralla Road-Nepean Highway , Mount Martha intersection demanding the intersection be fixed.

Despite roads being primarily a state issue, one cannot help wondering why, when they had a decade in office, the LNP government did not

extend complete funding for the project if it is such an important project. So easy to make big calls from opposition.

Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Widening opportunities

Peninsula Aero Club’s planning application, if approved, would allow widening of the asphalt surface on the north-south runway at Tyabb Airport from 10m to 16m (“Airport wants to widen its runway” The News 4/10/23). This has the potential to severely impact the amenity and safety of the more than 25,000 Tyabb, Somerville and Hastings residents from increased aircraft traffic by day and night.

The construction drawings from 2002 show the original bitumen surface runway (10m wide) and the two shoulders (three metres wide each) and clearly distinguish between the “shoulders” and the “runway”.

The PAC planning application seeks to reconstruct the shoulders to a far higher specification (150mm of Class 3 or 2 crushed rock, cement/ lime stabilisation, compaction, 50mm asphalt surface) than the original shoulders (unspecified depth Class 4 crushed rock or gravel, no stabilisation, no compaction, no bitumen surface).

The net result will be that the shoulders - built for drainage and not for take-off and landing of aircraft - will be asphalted and rendered highly suitable for aircraft use.

A 16m wide asphalted runway would encourage pilots of wider landing-carriage aircraft to use the runway, and encourage more pilots generally (commercial operations, adverse weather operations) to use the runway day and night resulting in more noise and safety risks for local residents.

Tyabb Airport operates without air traffic controllers (except occasionally) and there is no cap on operations of aircraft under 4500 pounds at night, no matter how noisy they are.

I, and no doubt thousands of local residents, are not opposed to the ultimate widening of the sealed section of the runway. However, we oppose any widening before the necessary amenity and safety protections (annual cap on movements, cap on noisy take offs, and a curfew) are in place and legally enforceable.

Brewis Atkinson, Tyabb

Serious accident at Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A SERIOUS accident occurred Wednesday last, on the Hastings Road, Frankston, when Mrs. Roslyn Parris, of Baxter was driving her horse and gig into the market, was proceeding along the road, about 12.45pm, when a motor lorry laden with roofing tiles crashed into the rear of her gig, smashing it and the harness to pieces, throwing the lady heavily to the ground, rendering her unconscious.

Mrs. Parris was attended by Dr. Johnston who was summoned to the scene of the accident, and removed to Nurse Campbell’s private hospital “St. Pancras”, where she was admitted suffering from severe shock and bruises, and a broken arm.

The patient has not sufficiently recovered to be removed, but is progressing satisfactorily.

CR. McCulloch at the council meeting on Friday last, drew attention to the overdraft on quarry that he said amounted to £17 loss per day for over four months.

The Engineer had said that a larger charge would have to be made, and he wished to move:

That a quarry committee meeting be held in a fortnight’s time to consider ways and means of more economically working same.

Cr. Oates said that the land that had been worked should have been sold and would help to defray costs.

Cr. May had made a study of the situation and was prepared to submit a model and plan for more economi-

cally working the quarry at committee meeting.

Cr. Gray drew attention to the drafting of matter, but did not wish to attack the working, as he was aware of the inconvenience that the engineer was working under.

To this Cr. McCulloch concurred and further stated that a person had pointed out to him how a great expense could be saved by means of installing a gravitation service for transporting the metal.

MUCH satisfaction is given by the clearing the trees from the bend at the One-Mile-Bridge, a far better view being obtained.

It only remains for the opposite side of the road to be cleared to remove every obstruction, thereby giving a clear and fine view of the whole of the dangerous bend.

The pot holes in the Melbourne Road still remain a nuisance to the users of this main arterial thoroughfare.

H. DALY, ranger at Seaford, said complaints received as per shire secretary’s letter seemed very strange, as he was up and down the road two or three times a week, and there were no wandering cattle about.

THE use of concentrated manures makes a strong appeal to the man who has to pay freight, because it is a

direct saving in cost and handling.

About half the quantity of a concentrated manure gives the same result as the full amount of a weak manure. This means half the freight to pay and half the cartage and labor. The firm of Cockbills are specialising in these concentrated manures and announce by advertisement in this issue a reduction in prices of all manures.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Great Mail Fail of 2023

By Stuart McCullough

I MOVED house. It was an epic event that took me to the limit of human endurance and I was relieved it when was over. Having moved into a new home, I’ve continued to receive mail addressed to the previous occupants. A lot of it. This is despite the fact that moving house would not have come as a surprise to them. Let me say at the outset that Australia Post has a fabulous (and cheap) mail redirect service available but those that preceded me had clearly decided against signing up. Then they cornered me.

As I was preparing to move in, they asked that I let them know if any letters arrived after they were gone. And arrive they did. By the tonne. And, so far as I could tell, among the avalanche of missives promoting various pizza chains, gardening services and such, was what appeared to be very important mail from major institutions like banks, phone companies, government agencies, to say nothing of Specsavers. After a fortnight or so, I sent the previous owners a text message. And heard absolutely nothing in reply.

I cut them some slack. I reasoned that moving house is a stressful experience and responding to my text message might not be at the top of their ‘to do’ list. So I waited. And waited. And sent another message. All the while, mail continued to accumulate. I was stuck – I felt the moment I decided to ‘return to sender’ was the precise moment they’d respond to my earlier messages. The pile of uncollected mail started to cast a shadow from the kitchen bench.

Before long, the bench disappeared beneath a mountain of unopened mail. This required me to find an alternative location to store it. Using a shovel and a wheelbarrow, I transported the misdirected missives to the spare room. Technically speaking, it then became the mailroom. As I dumped the latest barrow load onto the floor, I caught a glimpse of my future life, one in which

I was unable to walk from one room to another because of the piles of unwanted mail. I felt a chill. Perhaps the previous occupants were keen to shake off every vestige of their old life. Maybe they’d entered the witness protection program. They could well have decided that a text message from an unknown phone number was simply a scam and that after offering to send on their mail I’d be telling them I was their child and had an urgent bill to pay. Who could blame them? On one level, I understand. Sorting out your mail can easily be something you put off. But it wasn’t just bills, important notices and offers for

an eye test they were missing out on. They were missing out on magazines.

I love magazines. For most of my life, I’ve read music magazines, pouring through the pages in search of something new and interesting. Magazines are an entire world into which you escape. And they represent such a broad array of interests – from food, to style, to travel. For reasons that I’ve never really understood, the magazine ‘Truckin’ Life’ – which I can only hope is not a form of rhyming slang – was extremely popular when I was in primary school. Magazines are so much more than words and pictures; they’re a por-

tal to another dimension.

‘Australian Shooter’ is – according to the website - the flagship publication of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia. Every month, a copy of Australian Shooter has turned up on my doorstep. If you’re passionate about such things, then I wish you the best of luck. But it’s not a world that I have any knowledge of and having the magazine arrive felt like I was being given a secret I hadn’t wanted.

Naturally, the magazine came wrapped in plastic. I never opened it, hoping still that the previous occupants might respond to my text messages and come and get their mail which, by now, had filled the spare room and was inching its way down the hall. But although I didn’t read ‘Australian Shooter’, I would see the cover. Front and back.

Each month, the back cover featured some version of the same advert. It was, I think, for gun insurance. Or at least I hope it was. Because, to the untrained eye, the advertisements came across as a little bit creepy if not outright threatening. Which is unusual in advertising.

The ad featured a person holding a gun of some description. And then a slogan that tried to communicate how affordable the product was without making it entirely clear that they were, in fact, talking about insurance. They could have been talking about anything. My favourite featured a photo of an older gentleman, grinning as he held a rifle. The slogan below the photo declared ‘it’s cheap!’ which I hoped referred to the insurance but could just as easily as life itself.

After numerous messages, I decided enough was enough. I’ve no idea how a simple courtesy became a major inconvenience, but it took four days to write ‘return to sender’ on each item of mail. No good deed, it seems, goes unpunished. But it does come with a complimentary subscription to ‘Australian Shooter’ magazine. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pirates strike first blow, Flinders find a win

By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

MPCA cricket returned last weekend with one-day action.

Reigning Provincial division champions Old Peninsula got their 2023/2024 campaign off to a good start at home against Peninsula division premiers Heatherhill.

The Pirates chose to bat first. Their best performers were Dylan O’Malley and captain Justin Grant - O’Malley scored 53 from the opening position and Grant scored 51 runs batting at number five.

Old Peninsula finished their innings after 40 overs with 175 runs on the board.

Heatherhill skipper Kristian Miller led from the front, but he didn’t get enough help from his teammates for a successful run chase.

Miller scored 73 runs before being dismissed by Justin Grant. The tail end fought hard after his dismissal, but couldn’t quite get over the line.

With time working against them, Heatherhill were bowled out nine runs short of their target. Their last wicket fell with four balls left to spare.

At Overport Park, Langwarrin

bested Baden Powell by five wickets. Baden Powell were bowled out for 148, and couldn’t defend their total.

Pines got their season started on the right foot with a seven wicket win over Red Hill away from home on Saturday. Sorrento thumped Long Island by 77 runs to close out the round.

PENINSULA

LAST season’s defeated grand finalist Seaford Tigers are off to a shaky start to their 2023/2024 campaign.

The Tigers took on Mt Eliza at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday. They chose to bowl first, but struggled to make an impact.

Mt Eliza’s top order did the damage - the scoreboard read 1-128 before the wicket of Lahiru Opatha fell for 77 runs.

Mt Eliza scored 6/202 from their 40 overs. Liam O’Halloran’s three wickets helped to limit the damage.

The Tigers were no match in the end. After an opening stand of 27 between Brayden Roscoe and Benjamin Miller, they lost 6-24. Three of those wickets came without a run being scored.

Each of Mt Eliza’s six bowlers took a wicket and shared in the fun. Tom Baron took 2-9 from five overs and

Lahiru Opatha took 2-10 from four overs.

The Tigers were bowled out for just 101 runs, dooming them to a heavy defeat.

Rosebud scored a win at home in their season opener. They chased down Baxter’s total of 166 with an over and five wickets to spare.

Somerville were narrowly defeated by Moorooduc on Saturday. Moorooduc worked hard to defend a total of 138 runs. Somerville was bowled out for 131 with an over left to play.

Mornington were in fine form last weekend. The Bulldogs chased down Dromana’s score of 201 with six wickets left in hand.

DISTRICT

SUB DISTRICT premier Balnarring’s life in the District division got off to a poor start on Saturday.

The newly promoted side took on Flinders at home. Their top order played well - Jackson Hannah scored 55, Luke Hewitt scored 20, and Mark Walles scored 27 - but a massive collapse cost them the game.

Outside of their openers and first drop batters, no Balnarring player scored a double digit total. They were

bowled out for 155.

Mason Mail was brilliant with the ball. He dismissed both openers then helped clean up the tail. He posted figures of 4/16 from seven overs.

Flinders chased down their target with ease. Opener Jack Field scored an unbeaten 45, Mason Mail scored 45, and Sam Gove came in at number three and posted a half-century from only 36 deliveries.

Flinders reached their target in just 29 overs with eight wickets to spare.

Carrum Downs started their season with a thumping 127 run win over Carrum. Opener James Quarmby scored 49 runs, and James Abbotts and Robert Johnston each scored 59.

Delacombe Park were 42 run winners over last season’s losing grand finalists Seaford on Saturday. Crib Point also started their season with a victory - the Magpies beat Main Ridge at Ditterich Reserve.

SUB DISTRICT

A BRILLIANT unbeaten knock of 73 from 57 deliveries by Dilasri Lokubandara helped Boneo score a good win over Mt Martha on Saturday.

Mt Martha came into the game

looking to make amends for last season’s Grand Final defeat to Balnarring. They batted first, but failed to keep control of the game.

Both of Mt Martha’s openers fell for low scores. Skipper Ben Stallworthy and Thomas Walker corrected course with scores of 36 and 50 respectively, but their dismissals signalled the beginning of the end.

Mt Martha scored 8-139 from their 40 overs. Boneo reached that target in 36 overs with four wickets left to spare.

Lokubandara was the star of the day. He smashed eight boundaries, including five sixes, during his entertaining knock.

Pearcedale started their season with a four-wicket win at home against Frankston YCW. Hastings and Tootgarook also picked up home ground victories over Ballam Park and Rye respectively.

Skye posted a massive score of 220 at Skye Reserve on Saturday. Their opponents, Tyabb, fought admirably to stay in the game but the task proved too much. Tyabb was bowled out for 173.

Adams, Bambach join Langy

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

LANGWARRIN gaffer Jamie Skelly

has wasted little time in refashioning his squad by signing two new players for the 2024 season.

And a third newcomer could be on the way if discussions between the club and an attacking player reach a positive conclusion.

Last week the local NPL2 club agreed terms with central defender Luke Adams and Queensland goalkeeper Griffin Bambach.

Adams, 29, boasts an impressive CV.

He has captained New Zealand at under-17 and under-20 levels and made five appearances for the full national side.

He started playing as a junior with Auckland-based Fencibles United eventually signing for Waitakere United as a youth before joining Derby County on a one-year contract.

He returned to Waitakere United before joining Wellington Phoenix for the 2013-14 A-League season.

Another spell at Waitakere United followed before he agreed terms in November 2014 with South Melbourne then under head coach Chris Taylor.

In 2021 Adams signed for Green Gully then switched to Dandenong Thunder for the 2023 season.

It’s a measure of his durability that he featured in all 26 league games for Thunder this year.

Adams arrives at Lawton Park amid high expectations of what he can deliver.

Last season Langwarrin and Melbourne City conceded 56 goals a tally only exceeded in NPL2 by bottom side Pascoe Vale.

And when veteran defender Simon Storey retired and took on an assistant coaching role it was important that the club sign a suitable replacement to guide a young defence.

“I have no problem taking on responsibility,” Adams said.

“I’ve taken on leadership roles before and I’ve been in the NPL for seven or eight seasons now.

“I’m a no-nonsense sort of player –talking, leading, organising – probably not the most talented but I’ll give you concentration and focus and I can help others along.”

Joining Langwarrin is a homecoming of sorts for Adams.

“I was actually born in Frankston so there’s a bit of a special touch coming back to where you were born.

“My parents came here from England then went back because of a family issue before going to New Zealand and settling there.

“Joining Langwarrin was a good opportunity for me to come to a family club as I have a six year old, a four-year-old and a newborn.

“I spoke to the coaches and it just seemed like a good fit in fact it ticked all the boxes for me.”

Bambach reached a similar conclusion after speaking to Langwarrin sponsor Greg Kilner and Skelly.

“I didn’t know much about Langwarrin at first but after speaking to Greg and Jamie and looking further into it they look like a really good club,” he said.

“I think they’re essentially a British club and they’ve got a good record at holding on to players so it seemed a perfect segway for me if I’m looking to play at a higher level.”

Bambach hails from the NSW coastal town of Byron Bay.

He played junior football there and after two seasons in the Bryron Bay

Sudoku and crossword solutions

seniors he moved to Burleigh Heads in the Gold Coast Premier League. His next move was to Ipswichbased Western Pride under former Langy coach Terry Kirkham.

“I had a pretty good season there individually and that was the stepping stone for a move to Sunshine Coast Wanderers.”

But Bambach suffered back-toback season-ending injuries during his time there.

Four games into the 2020 season he suffered a severe shoulder dislocation and the following pre-season as he prepared for a comeback a training mishap resulted in a broken ankle.

It was back to Burleigh Heads for the 2022 season and this year he returned to Sunshine Coast Wanderers.

But the urge to test himself at a higher level prompted a call to Kirkham who recommended Langwarrin and the Victorian NPL as a progressive move.

There was another lure at Langwarrin drawing Bambach towards the club – goalkeeping coach Lou Kast-

ner.

“Yeah that was a big part of it too –to work with him.

“Obviously he’s worked with professional clubs before so I know he knows how to push me in the right way to get the very best out of myself and take me to that next level.

“And I’ll need that because I know Langwarrin has a strong core of keepers.

“I’m going there to fight for the number one spot – I want to try and get it for the whole season but that’s up to me whether I get it or not.

“I’m confident in my ability though.”

In State 2 news Skye United held its presentation night last weekend with Brett Heskins and Mark O’Connor sharing the senior men’s best and fairest award with Nhan Than runnerup. Ben Guerts won the reserves best and fairest and Charlie Jeffs was runner-up.

Leo McLeod won the senior men’s Golden Boot award and Daniel Cas-

tillo won the reserves equivalent. In the senior women Alex Jones won the best and fairest award while Neah Ascott was the reserves best and fairest.

The senior women’s Golden Boot award was shared by Jenna Chandler and Tata Ascott with Neah Ascott winning the reserves Golden Boot honours.

The senior women’s Players’ Player of the Year was Kerryn Thomson while Hollie McDonald was runnerup.

The reserve women’s Players’ Player of the Year was Chiara Ferra with Meike Berg runner-up.

In other news former Frankston City defender Bobby Adams died last week after a long illness. Adams, 71, was a prominent member of Frankston’s 1979 squad that was beaten by Essendon Croatia on goal difference in the race for the State League title.

He made 90 appearances in the seniors from 1977 to 1981 and transferred to Mornington in 1982.
