Council drops support for ANZAC service Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON RSL president Kevin Hillier is “frustrated” by Frankston Council’s decision to pull in-kind support for their ANZAC Day memorial service.

Mr Hillier said that the sudden pulling of council support would prove a $35,000 hit for the RSL. “Frankston Council have been helping us for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been here for 16 years. The service has grown since then, but this year they’ve basically decided to stop all the funding. This has suddenly become a $35,000 expense. They’ve told us after this year we’ll get nothing,” he said.

“ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance. It’s actually a community event, it’s not the RSL’s job to do it all.

It’s our job to implement the service, but now council have moved down this track and will only be providing very minimal support this year.”

The RSL has held their annual ANZAC Day service at the Frankston War Memorial since 2016. Mr Hillier said the growth in attendance and interest since moving there had made running the event more expensive.

“For many years council had provided chairs and a lectern, all gratis. Since 2016, council have been providing audio, chairs, they’ve paid for safety audits, and provided someone from events team to work in conjunction with us. In 2014 we had complaints from people that they couldn’t see or hear the service. Last year we’d done

a bit extra and got two big screens, and we decided to pay a little bit towards that. Now this year they’ve decided to stop all the funding,” he said.

“The Frankston RSL looks after our veterans, we do a lot for the community, we sponsor sporting clubs and we put money into the community. When something like this comes up it’s very frustrating.”

Mr Hillier said that the RSL was only made aware of council’s decision in February. He said the RSL would “fight like hell” for council support, but committed to continue to hold the services.

“We will push forward. We won’t stop doing them, but it’s money that could be better spent on our veterans.”

Frankston mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times that support for the RSL would be lowered to that “offered to all community groups.”

“Financial support was provided as agreed to between the Frankston RSL and Frankston Council for the specific purpose of the centenary commemorations, after which council support returned to the levels afforded to all community groups. Council has previously provided in-kind support to the Frankston RSL in the form of tables, chairs and a lectern for the commemorative services,” Cr O’Reilly said.

“Council recognises the importance and significance in commemorating ANZAC Day and how valuable these commemorations are to the community. As with other community groups who organise events in Frankston City, the events team and other council departments will continue to work with the Frankston RSL.” Continued Page 6

Conquered cancer cause for centre celebration Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au THE Gateway shopping centre in Langwarrin is turning pink to raise much needed funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia.

The week-long event, running from 29 April until 5 May, will see stores in the centre turning pink, a barbeque and raffle tickets being sold.

The event was inspired by Sally Bell, who works at McKays Quality Meats in the centre, and her recent battle with breast cancer.

“I was the fittest I’d been for ten years, and feeling fantastic, when I got the shock call after my regular mammogram,” said Mrs Bell.

“Follow up testing showed I had early stage cancer in my breast. While everybody else was celebrating on New Years Eve, I was having a breast and my ovaries removed!”

The mother of three was off work for four weeks, recovering from the surgery.

“When I got back to work, my boss said he wanted to do something in recognition of my battle with cancer.”

Brett Thompson, the owner of McKays Quality Meats at The Gateway, originally envisaged turning his business pink, and placing a tin on the counter. But things quickly escalated when the centre’s management caught wind of his idea.

Soon, the plan had changed to turn the entire centre pink.

During the week, raffle tickets are being sold by The Gateway ‘walking group’ with the over $4000 of prizes

A new life: Sally Bell is looking forward to life after cancer, including spending time with her newly arrived grand daughter, Evie-Mae. Picture: Andrew Hurst

donated by the centre’s retailers.

Prizes include a signed and framed jumper from the Sydney Swans, a year’s membership to Jetts Fitness, more than $600 worth of gift cards from different stores, a children’s bike from Stockdale and Leggo plus much more.

There will also be a sausage sizzle on the Saturday with the CFA.

The prizes will be drawn Sunday 5th May at 11am.

As for Mrs Bell, she is “tickled pink” at the event, and hopes it raises awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia.

“I really was one of the lucky ones.

The care I got at Frankston Hospital was amazing, and I am now back to full health.

“I am extremely grateful to Brett for all the support he gave me while I was ill, and now I have beaten this, nothing is going to hold me back,” Mrs Bell is hopeful her story will raise awareness of breast cancer and educate other women.

“It just drives home to me how important those regular screenings are.

If I had put my mammogram off, my outcome could have been totally different. The message is clear for other women. Go and get your screening.

Don’t even think about putting it off!”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Australian women.

In 2019 it is estimated that 19,535 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer – this includes 150 men.

This works out to be 53 Australians diagnosed each day.

Breast Cancer Network Australia supports, informs and connects Australians affected by breast cancer.

They have a range of resources to help people through their breast cancer journey and make decisions that are the best for them, They hold information forums across the country, run an online network for those affected by breast cancer, and a phone support line.

Anyone who has been affected by breast cancer can call the BCNA Helpline on 1800 500 258 or visit www.bcna.org.au for information and support.

Hard rubbish collection dates locked in Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EIGHTEEN months on from their last annual hard rubbish collection, Frankston Council have confirmed the dates for their next collection.

The collection service will run from late April and continue through until June.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “council appreciates that the change to the timing of the regular hard rubbish collection has been frustrating for some residents. While the citywide hard rubbish collection has previously taken place progressively throughout October and November, the annual service will begin in late April and residents will be notified

two weeks ahead of their collection period.”

“The hard rubbish collection was moved later in the financial year because a November collection would cost council an extra $500,000.

Council felt the additional $500,000 was an unreasonable use of ratepayer funds, which would be better spent on providing other services to the community,” he said.

“The service will be the same service as offered in previous years and more information can be found on the council website. It should be noted that not all items are collected by the same truck, to help maximise the diversion from landfill. For example, green waste and hard waste will be collected by different trucks, pos-

sibly on different days.”

Council’s hard rubbish collection service, which usually takes place during October, was delayed last year after the process was put out to tender.

The mayor at the time Colin Hampton said “the tender process commenced in early 2018 to align with the completion of the last contract extension ending at the start of October.

Council was seeking a competitive market of service providers, however, unfortunately there continues to be a shortage of providers that can offer annual municipal-wide hard waste collections.”

“We realise this is a substantial change to the usual timing of the hard waste collection, however council

had to make this change due to the availability of the service provider,” he said. (“Hard rubbish delay with fine threat”, The Times, 24/09/18) Council agreed to continue their agreement with their previously contracted service provider, but a scheduling conflict had come up that resulted in the six month delay.

Residents who put out their hard rubbish during the regular October period were threatened with fines of up to $17,000 for illegal dumping.

Hard rubbish put out for collection should not exceed 1 metre in height and 2 metres in length.

Dates of pickup can be found at: frankston.vic.gov.au/Our_Community/Maps_Online_-_My_Address

Headspace trial to help find employment HEADSPACE in Frankston will host an “individual placement and support” trial until 2021. The program is designed to young people struggling with mental health problems gain employment by teaching them skills and giving them job coaching.

The trial at Frankston is supported by $585,000 in funding from the federal government.

Frankston is among 10 new trail sites around the country for the program.

Dunkley MP Chris Crewther announced the “budgeted” funding last week. He said “the trial targets vulnerable young people with mental illness up to the age of 25, who are at risk of disengaging from education or employment, and are at risk of long term welfare dependency.”

“As many as one-in-four young Australians aged 16 to 24 experience mental illness in any given year and, sadly, Frankston is not immune,” Mr Crewther said.

“It is great that young people in Frankston will receive a range of support such as job coaching, assistance navigating community support services and Centrelink systems, targeted education or employment opportunities, and on the job support.

They will also receive application assistance and interview techniques that will make a huge difference in the success of their future employment opportunities.

“Since the trial first launched on 1 November 2016, the results have been very promising. Of the 879 participants who were in the trial to April 2018, 438 achieved an education or employment placement.”

Try a trial: Social services minister Paul Fletcher visited headspace in Frankston to announce funding for a trial to help people find employment.

Support for hospital’s x-ray vision FRANKSTON Hospital will get a new x-ray machine after a promise of more money from the state government.

The machine is paid for under a grant from the Medical Equipment Replacement Program and Engineering Infrastructure program.

Premier Daniel Andrews and health minister Jenny Mikakos visited the hospital alongside Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke to announce the grant.

“Doctors and nurses at Frankston Hospital do an amazing job providing the very best

care for patients. We’re supporting them with the cutting edge equipment they need to save lives,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“New state of the art equipment and better hospital infrastructure will make sure more Victorians can get the world class care they need, when they need it, closer to home. The new x-ray machine will provide improved image quality and diagnostics capability, provide OH and S benefits through ergonomic design, and reduce radiation dose for patients in Frankston.”

Continued from Page 1 The move was condemned by federal Liberal MP Chris Crewther and state Labor MP Paul Edbrooke on social media.

“With $1.39 million spent on councillor notices of motion this financial year and $22 million in surplus, I think you can afford to reprioritise and help the Frankston RSL appropriately acknowledge the people who have sacrificed their lives to make our community safe,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Mr Crewther said “if any events should be sup-

ported by council during the year, it should be days like ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day in particular. In my view, it is terrible that council plans to withdraw their support for services honouring our veterans and I strongly request that they reconsider their decision to withdraw all financial and in kind support.”

Frankston RSL’s dawn service on ANZAC Day will take place at the Frankston War Memorial.

Proceedings begin at 5.45am.

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Fire at Skye property investigated POLICE are investigating the circumstances of a fire on McCormicks Road in Skye, 12.03 pm, 15 April.

Witnesses observed a large amount of smoke coming from a house at around midday and alerted the authorities. The Skye and Carrum Downs CFA attended and evacuated the surrounding area.

The fire was extinguished, but the house had been extensively damaged by the blaze.

Witnesses observed a number of youths in the area at the time. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives are currently investigating. Four people have been interviewed and are assisting police with inquiries.

Pedestrian hit in Frankston dies AN 86-year-old woman struck by a car at a pedestrian crossing in Frankston has died.

Police were told the Frankston woman was crossing at a pedestrian crossing on the Nepean Highway with an 88-year-old Frankston man at around 11.10am on 8 April. Police believe the woman was then struck by a silver Hyundai sedan turning onto the Nepean Highway from Playne Street.

She was taken to hospital but died on 15 April.

The driver of the Hyundai is assisting police with their enquiries. Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

The woman’s death is the 95th on Victorian roads this year, up from 58 this time last year.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Death after ute fall A 19-YEAR-old Frankston man has died after falling from the back of a ute on 19 April.

Police were told the man was sitting in the rear tray with two other people when he fell out on Heatherhill Drive at around 2.30am. He was taken to hospital but later died.

The driver and other passengers are assisting police with enquiries.

Culpable driving charge A 21-year-old Rye man has been charged with one count of culpable driving causing death and two counts of negligently causing serious injury after a fatal crash in Tootgarook early Friday 12 April.

Seventeen-year-old Timothy Hocking died and four others were injured when a Mazda CX3 with five young people on board struck a tree near the intersection of Marshall and Field streets about 1.15am.

Timothy Hocking, a student at Rosebud Secondary College and resident of McCrae, died at the scene, while another 17-year-old from Capel Sound was taken to hospital in a critical condition. A 17-year-old from McCrae was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

The driver and another 17-year-old, from Capel Sound, were taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries.

Neighbours reported hearing cries for help and found two young men lying beside the car in the dark.

Rye and Rosebud CFA and SES crews stayed at the scene until mid-morning, hosing oil leaks and ready to extinguish any fires.

Rosebud CFA duty officer Sam Webb said police were examining the crash site for details as to the cause. Police are investigating whether speed and alcohol contributed to the crash.

‘Something special’ for old hospital site Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE new owners of the former Mt Eliza hospital site in Jacksons Road last week described it as a “blank canvas offering unique opportunities”.

Melbourne-based property developer Hengyi Pacific bought the 3.4 hectare site for just over $17 million earlier this year and is “currently working closely with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to determine the … best use for the site that

respects the surrounding street character”.

General manager Simon Manley said he was “very excited with our latest acquisition and are looking forward to transforming the unused parcel into something special”.

The developer is “working with council to determine the final outcome for the site and will look to lodge a town planning application shortly”.

This could either be subdivision into luxury residential lots or high-end retirement living.

Mr Manley said heritage elements

of the chapel on Jacksons Road and administration and facilities buildings from the 1930s could be part of the redevelopment. These included the Spanish mission-style buildings by prominent hospital architects Stephenson and Meldrum with their rendered masonry and tiled roofs.

“We saw it as a good opportunity as the site is, in relative terms, a blank canvas to basically start again and also to create something that the precinct will benefit from,” said Mr Manley.

WHAT’S NEW...

Ishinryu - Bruce Hyland Champions Karate ISHINRYU – Bruce Hyland Champions Karate (BHCK) is traditional Japanese karate and has been in operation for five decades offering classes for all ages, led by Sensei Bruce Hyland 7th Dan. Karate has many benefits for all ages whether you’re three or 73. Usually the reasons are for self-defence, health and fitness, discipline, confidence, self-control and sport which can lead to making great friends and testing new borne skills against others.

Mini Mite 3 Years BHCK has designed a program for “mini mites” three years old, with the aid of mum or dad, you will learn the same karate skills as your child.

Dragons 4-5 Years Introducing a specialised karate program designed for children aged four and five years old. Confidence, discipline, develops early socialising skills, instils discipline and carry out basic instructions.

Ronins 6-12 years The Ronins program promotes these areas; fitness, discipline, dedication, determination, desire, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-development, selfdefence and leadership program as another benefit. Ronins all have the opportunity to compete at local, state, national and international levels.

Teenagers - Adults Most teenagers enjoy participating in a variety of activities. This willingness to try new activities and meet new people builds their self-confidence and develops their social skills, by the time they become teenagers many give their

activities up and become unenthusiastic to try new ones.

One reason for this is the onset of youth, which can quickly diminish a teenager’s self-confidence. Being a teenager comes with just being awkward in most social settings – at the dojo/school they do not have to compare themselves with anybody else they can be just themselves – their competitive nature will shine through, learning new skills like being an assistant teacher/ Sempai or role model to younger kids only improves their self-worth as human being.

Karate has many benefits for adults

both women and men self-confidence, discipline, and development – you can do a short self-defence course, however, the skills unless very basic will not stand up in a real-life situation because of the intensity of the moment however karate is a unpretentious fighting art as in a real-life situation you either you fight (karate techniques are not complicated and do not require strength but accuracy, most basic techniques taught are simple and proven as effective and decisive, and practiced each week until they become reactive to an attack or in some type of counter.

Once this automatic instinctive skill

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Democracy – A Quick Recap For Those Who Came in Late

By Stuart McCullough IT’S a little known fact. Democracy was founded in Athens in about 500 BC during the ‘classical antiquity’ period when a fellow named Cleisthenes invented the world’s first lamb and rosemary sausage and had no idea what to do with it. To make matters worse, he’d also accidentally come into a large number of loaves of Athenian Tip Top and needed to use them before both the bread and the idea went stale. And so it was that the idea of bringing people together for a slap-up feed while voting was born.

The first version of democracy was direct rather than representative. That meant that rather than elect someone to parliament, you could turn up and vote yourself. The other feature of the system at that time is that they filled important posts by selecting people at entirely at random. This, I feel, is a concept ripe for reconsideration.

Imagine if, rather than tedious political campaigns, people were sent to Parliament all because of a miscellaneous Wonka bar. It would be sweet in more than one way, although not all that different to the recent results of ‘preference harvesting’.

As for Cleisthenes, little is known of the man who started it all. He was the younger son of Megacles who, I can honestly say, was always my favourite Transformer; and he introduced democracy after the tyrant [it’s] Hipias [to be square] was overthrown. Not happy with having invented a system of government that would endure for more than a millennia, Cleisthenes also invented the concept of ostracism – which isolated those people who, having become a little too full

of themselves, looked as though they wanted to overturn the democratic system and rule as a tyrant. The first victim of this form of punishment was Cleisthenes himself. It proved that democracy can be both an unforgiving and unpredictable beast. Poor old Cleisthenes was rolled by the very thing he created. It was a predictor of things to come.

The term ‘democracy’ is a mash up of the words ‘demos’ meaning ‘common people’ and ‘kratos’ which, obviously, refers to sauerkraut; a kind of pickled cabbage concoction that some people prefer to onions. Each to their own, I say. Not that it was an instant smash. Some good ideas take a while to get going, so despite widespread

acceptance that barbecues are vital to social cohesion, it took a while.

In England, the Magna Carta (or, if you prefer, the Great Charter of the Liberties) was a document drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to settle a dispute between King John and a group of rebel barons about whether or not it’s always sausage first and onion second. These things, it seems, are important. In the seventeenth century, regular elections were enshrined in the Bill of Rights. In practical terms, it meant there were checks on the power of the monarchy who, despite having a massive backyard, are yet to throw a decent barbecue.

A mere eight hundred years later and we have reached a critical junc-

ture. Were it not for the prospect of getting a sausage in bread for your trouble, there’s a very good chance that democracy as we know it could collapse altogether. With an election looming, I find myself looking forward more to the sausage that will follow than the act of voting itself.

It raises the question as to whether we’ve become so sick of the whole exercise that the day is now one gigantic school fete with a vote tacked on, rather than the other way around.

There are good reasons for this.

Sausage sizzles are more reliable in the sense that you get what you order. In contrast, if the past decade has taught us anything is that the public might vote for one result and,

part way through, get something else entirely. In the sausage sizzle game, you’d never get away with snatching a snag back from a customer and replacing it with bowl of porridge. There’d be uproar. Anarchy, even. And yet that’s the experience we’ve had for the past ten years or so. It’s enough to make you lose faith in the whole exercise.

Churchill once said that democracy was the worst form of government except for all the others. It’s a somewhat bleak observation that I doubt he’d have made had he been clutching a banger at the time. Still, he has a point. What other choice is there?

Despite the somewhat uninspired circumstances, there’s nothing to do but to rock up and fulfill your civic duty. May 18 will come and go, but at least there’s the warm glow that may or may not be indigestion that comes with eating a sausage.

I’m not on Facebook so I’m not sure how the Russians are going in the misinformation stakes. And, like a lot of people, I don’t watch a lot of free to air television, so I’m unlikely to see the dismal concoctions the various political parties want to inflict on an unsuspecting public who just trying to watch Bachelor in Paradise in peace.

But even from this distance, the whole thing feels hysterical and uninspired.

If Cleisthenes turned up tomorrow, he’d doubtless scratch his head to see what has become of creation. On the one hand, it’s become a putrid, bleating mess that is fundamentally disconnected to the way anyone lives their lives. On the other, it comes with a light lunch. Bon appetite. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Brisk motor car business over Easter *** MR S. Pearce, of “The Plaza” Frankston is able to be about again after several days illness which contained him to his room. *** PRIVATE Percy Darcy arrived by the Derbyshire on Tuesday after an absence of 3 years at the front.

He is a brother of our townsman Mr G. Darcy who is also a returned man.

Two other brothers of the same family have yet to arrive from which it will be seen that the Darcys took more than a small share in the great struggle. *** THE close of hostilities has brought about the demobilisation of many local soldiers among whom we note Lieut. W. Fisher, so well and favorably known to Frankston.

With the single exception of Capt.

Sherlock no local officer was more highly respected.

For years he was a permanent member of the Frankston rifle club.

His love for the profession of arms enabled him to fill the various positions from Private to Adjutant and in several occasions he was acting O.C at Langwarrin camp.

He fought at Gallipoli and returned a commissioned officer badly wounded. *** TO raise funds for an Oakleigh family in distress, Miss Marion Montgomery and other horsewomen, assisted by members of the Melbourne Hunt Club have organised a gymkhana for Saturday, on the Oakleigh Cricket Ground.

None the less, members of the State Parliament, while insistently demanding economy from the Administration, in consequence of the public outcry against extravagance, showed little disposition to curtail the work of the board, having in view the great value of that work as a developmental factor.

Every year since its formation the board has been enabled accordingly to carry out considerable sections of the roads on its original plans.

During this year the contracts let since 1st. July last for permanent works carried out with loan money have involved the expenditure of £218,900, allocated among 89 municipalities.

The contracts for maintenance work total £57,000.

The board is also pushing on with work under the Developmental Roads Act, passed in March, 1918, and the contracts let since 1st. July, 1918, for the construction of developmental roads have reached £91,000.

Up to the present 22 shires are involved in these contracts, and a large proportion of this number belong to the Gippsland and Otway Forest districts.

Stonecats stop unbeaten start DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA’S impressive start to life in the first division of the MPNFL has come to an end, after they were defeated by Frankston YCW on Saturday.

The Tigers so far had an unbeaten start in 2019, but were bested by the powerhouse Stonecats at John Coburn Oval.

YCW were decent to start with, but Dromana stuck in and stayed within reach. The hard fought contest saw both teams struggle to hit the scoreboard, with the Tigers behind by ten points at half time.

After the main break YCW broke the game apart, getting the upper hand with a six goals to two third term.

Frankston YCW ran away with it in the end, and claimed victory 16.18 (114) to 9.8 (62).

Lachlan Street was best afield for YCW for the second week in a row, kicking four majors.

At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines were able to stamp their authority with a comprehensive win over Mornington.

The reigning premiers were on top the entire afternoon, and were most impressive in defence. The Bulldogs only kicked one goal each in the first three quarters of the match.

Guy Hendry was in form in front of goal and kicked four, helping the Pythons to a 13.13 (91) to 7.7 (49) win.

Jackson Calder kicked four for the losing side.

Another of the premiership favourites

this year is Sorrento, and they proved their credentials with a massive win on the road against Rosebud.

Leigh Poholke was in red hot form for the Sharks, kicking seven goals to help his side to a massive 90 point victory.

Things were close up until half time, with Rosebud only behind by 14 points at the main break. In the second half it was an onslaught, with the Sharks scoring 14 goals and Rosebud scoring two.

When the final siren sounded the scoreboard read Rosebud 5.6 (36) to 19.12 (126).

Frankston Bombers had a worse day than their cross town rivals as they went down to Mt Eliza at Emil Madsen Reserve.

A close contest up until half time, Frankston Bombers were in with a chance and only behind by less than a kick at the main break.

The Redlegs ran away with it in the second half, with a five goals to one final quarter sealing the deal.

Mt Eliza defeated the Bombers 13.13 (91) to 7.12 (54).

The script read just about the same at Regents Park, as a contest that was close at half time ended up blowing out to a comprehensive win.

Edithvale-Aspendale would have fancied their chances at home, and were behind their Bonbeach opponents by two points at the main break.

Bonbeach were hugely impressive in the second half, and ended up securing the win 10.5 (65) to 16.24 (120). Tom Lamb kicked five for Edi-Asp.

Fevola kicks five in MPNFL debut DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn BRENDAN Fevola ran out for his MPNFL debut on Saturday in front of a big home crowd at Hastings.

The Blues took on Devon Meadows, who were looking to spoil the occasion.

Devon Meadows started well and led at quarter time, but were eventually made to pay for inaccurate kicking.

Coleman medallist Fevola was getting plenty of the footy for the Blues, and ended up kicking five goals for the game. Had he been more accurate in front of goal, it would have been a lot more.

Both sides struggled to convert on their chances, but eventually it was Hastings who came out on top, with Fevola celebrating his debut with a win. Hastings claimed victory over Devon Meadows 13.18 (96) to 5.19 (49).

At Crib Point Recreation Reserve, it was Red Hill who proved to the rest of the competition that they are the team to beat in 2019.

Travelling to take on Crib Point, Red Hill were absolutely dominant.

Coming off a huge win last week, the Hillmen managed to put together an even more complete performance.

Crib Point failed to kick a goal for the entire afternoon. The siren sounded to put them out of their misery with the final scoreboard reading 0.3 (3) to

PAGE 20

Frankston Times

27.12 (174).

Harry Larwill kicked nine goals for the Hillmen. Jonathon Ross and Sean Marchetti kicked four each.

Another premiership favourite in Karingal also claimed a big win over the weekend, as they got the better of Seaford.

The Bulls got started on the right foot, getting things kicked off with a six goals to one first term. Seaford were little hope of clawing their way back after that, and succumbed to defeat 15.12 (102) to 7.7 (49).

Karingal forward Marc Holt kicked seven goals to take his total for the year to 23 from four games. With the Bulls flying to start the year, the recruitment of Holt looks to be a huge success.

The closest match of the weekend took place at Lloyd Park, as Langwarrin hosted Somerville.

The Eagles were on top early, and looked as if they would run out with a comfortable victory. They were up by five goals at three-quarter time, but Langwarrin worked hard in the final term to chip that back.

Despite a four goals to one final term, Langwarrin were defeated 13.9 (87) to 16.10 (106).

At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye scored a comfortable victory over Tyabb.

Tyabb led at half time but Rye ran over the top of them in the second half.

Rye claimed the win over Tyabb 16.12 (108) to 6.14 (50).

Crook steals it for Skye United SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie WHAT Jonathan Crook did to Upfield last week was night-time robbery.

The big man from Matamata Swifts effected a string of remarkable saves to keep Skye’s nose in front and keep Upfield’s onslaught at bay in a pulsating FFA Cup tie.

Try as it might Upfield could not find a way past Crook and Skye held on for a 1-0 win that clinched one of 32 Victorian spots remaining in the 2019 national competition.

This clash had to be replayed after a floodlight failure in the 70th minute at Aston Fields in Craigieburn had forced an abandonment a week earlier with scores locked at 5-5.

Now both sides were forced to travel to Darebin on a Tuesday night thanks to a bizarre Football Victoria decision and Skye was staring down the barrel as injury had claimed Gerard Lawler, Daniel Attard and Harrison Michaelis.

However the local side was the benefactor of Aaryn Rix’s brief flirtation with Baxter and the new signing featured in the starting line-up.

Skye scored in the 8th minute when a precise Mark O’Connor free-kick was powered home by the head of Daniel Walsh, his fifth goal of the competition.

This was the cue for a bombardment of the Skye goal but a string of Crook saves kept Skye ahead while a rare chance on the break saw Jason Nowakowksi miss an opportunity to double the lead.

Nothing changed in the second half as Upfield laid siege to the Skye goal and Billy Painting, John Andrinopoulos, O’Connor, Walsh and Nowakowski all received cautions.

Skye midfielder Jack Gallagher was red carded in the 70th minute and despite Upfield breaking through on a number of occasions Crook was unbeatable.

Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness was still marvelling at his keeper’s display the following day.

“I’ve never seen a goalkeeper put on a display like that at amateur level,” McGuinness said.

“It was unbelievable and when you have the opposition supporters applauding your performance you know you’ve done something right.

“He’s an excellent keeper and I’m just glad I got to witness a display like that.”

Upfield later congratulated Crook on its facebook page describing his effort as “exceptional”.

Langwarrin took care of business against State League 2 North-West ladder leader Corio with a 4-1 win at Hume Reserve in North Geelong.

Despite this being a potential banana skin for the visitors Langy head coach Scott Miller gave debuts to former Melbourne Victory youngsters Luke Goulding and Dionis Shabani with Goulding playing as a central defender in a 3-2-4-1 formation and Shabani joining Jordan Templin as an attacking midfielder.

Although Langy enjoyed the bulk of possession in the first half it took an own goal to give it a slender half-time lead.

Five minutes into the second period Corio striker Alessandro Stefano equalised with a header but three goals in six minutes sealed the home side’s fate.

Roddy Covarrubias was gifted a tap-in in the 60th minute after Corio keeper Tom Banks mishandled.

Two minutes later Johnny Kuol made it 3-1 when he rounded his opponent at the far post and slotted home from close range.

A trademark David Stirton free-kick bent around the defensive wall in the 66th minute completed the scoreline.

Langy head coach Scott Miller is keen to take the side deep into the prestigious competition while maintaining its promotion challenge in NPL2 East.

“A good cup run gives the club great exposure,” Miller said.

“It’s a brilliant tournament and having worked with Foxsports last year and seen a number of games I think it’s a great concept.

“For Langwarrin to be potentially playing an A-League club within four games would be amazing.”

Sudoku and crossword solutions

But Miller’s focus now turns to the club’s league campaign with a challenging away fixture on Friday night against Moreland Zebras.

Jaiden Madafferi has recovered from injury and is available for Friday’s match while Wayne Wallace returns from suspension.

In State 3 news Frankston Pines recorded its first win of the season when it downed Monash Uni 2-0 at Tatterson Park in Keysborough on Saturday.

This home match for Monash was mired in controversy as it could have been played a few weeks ago but the university side refused to reverse the fixtures and play on a Friday night under lights at Monterey Reserve, an option offered when it became known that Monash playing fields would be unavailable.

Football Victoria’s competitions department had allocated pitch three, a grass pitch, for Saturday’s clash but Monash successfully argued that it had booked the venue’s synthetic pitch with the local council and that the game must be played there.

The heat made conditions oppressive and Pines had keeper Alfonso Cardinale to thank for a 1-0 half-time lead after Monash had fashioned the better chances.

Winger Sarmad Nikakhter was a constant menace down the left and could have put Monash ahead from a tight angle in the 5th minute but Cardinale spread himself well and blocked at the near post.

In the 19th minute Pines’ central defender Cedric Benza was caught in possession but Cardinale saved his teammate’s blushes when he effected a superb smother to deny Nikakhter in a one-on-one.

Pines broke the deadlock five min-

utes from half-time with a superbly constructed interpassing move down the right involving Stefan Soler, Travis Ernsdoerfer, CJ Hodgson and Jason Bradbury with Bradbury’s low drive from inside the area beating Monash keeper Alex Grantham.

Two minutes into the second half Nikakhter pounced on a defensive lapse from Bailey Atkinson and hammered a low shot that cannoned off the near post and in the 53rd minute there were howls of protest from the Monash bench after Cardinale charged off his line and clashed with Arnie Clever leaving the winger sprawling on the ground as the referee waved play on.

In the 65th minute Pines constructed a flowing move down the left and when Soler was brought down the referee had little hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Again Monash was unhappy and it was touch and go whether or not the offence was inside the area.

Up stepped Hodgson who had no trouble converting and for the first time this season Pines were cruising.

Serge Yanez had come on in the second half and his link-up play with Soler, Hodgson and Ernsdoerfer was a feature.

Soler broke through in the 69th minute and should have put Monash out of its misery but Grantham did well to get a touch and send the ball out for a corner.

A cheeky Yanez backheel in the 73rd minute sent the impressive Kevin Brown scooting down the left and his cross to the edge of the box was met by a superb diving header from Soler and Grantham was at full stretch as he parried.

In the 80th minute Soler again broke clear into a one-on-one with Grantham only to shoot wide of the far post when he could have taken another touch.

While Pines were good value for the three points no-one is getting carried away at Monterey Reserve with success against one of the poorer sides in the league.

ROUND 4

BY E

ROUND 5

Pines gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor used a different formation for this match with Bradbury and Hodgson up front and Ernsdoerfer freed up to play in behind them.

“You could see the confidence of the players rise during the course of the game,” said Taylor.

“I thought we were okay in the first half but lacked penetration however we trialled a new system on the Tuesday and Thursday and players were still adapting to it.

“The win was important though to kickstart our season, very important.”

Daniel Mota, Connor McAndrews and Alex Bevacqua were unavailable but will come into contention for this weekend’s away fixture against Brighton.

In State 1 news Mornington defender Josh Valadon has had his suspension for being sent off against Casey Comets reduced from five to three matches.

Comets midfielder Brodie Paterson was suspended for two years for his sending off in the same match.

He was also directed to write a letter of apology to Mornington midfielder Sam Catherine.

Paterson’s suspension starts after he completes a respect and responsibility course and should he wish to register to play after serving his suspension he must complete another respect and responsibility course.

In State 4 news Seaford United is hosting a past members’ day for players and supporters at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday 4 May starting at 11.30am.

The event is part of Seaford’s 50th anniversary celebrations and a past players’ match will take place before the reserves and seniors take on Keysborough.

This week’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Moreland Zebras v Langwarrin (CB Smith Reserve).

SATURDAY, 3pm: Southern Utd v Heidelberg Utd (Monterey Reserve; under-12s 9am, under-14s 10.10am, under-16s 11.30am, under-19s 1pm), Caulfield Utd Cobras v Mornington (Victory Park), Peninsula Strikers v Doncaster Rovers (Centenary Park), Skye Utd v Middle Park (Skye Recreation Reserve), Brighton v Frankston Pines (Dendy Park pitch 5), FC Noble Hurricanes v Seaford Utd (Alex Nelson Reserve), Endeavour Utd v Baxter (Reema Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Tullamarine (Tyabb Central Reserve), White Star Dandenong v Aspendale Stingrays (Greaves Reserve), Endeavour Hills Fire v Rosebud (Power Reserve).

Written By signs off from racing

By Ben Triandafillou CHAMPION two-year-old colt and Group One winner, Written By, has been retired to Widden Stud in the Hunter Valley on Monday 15 April.

Trained by Mornington-based racehorse trainer Grahame Begg and raced by Hall of Fame trainer, and Grahame’s father, Neville Begg, the speedy son of Written Tycoon has been key to Grahame’s successful return to the training ranks.

The former Sydney-based trainer of 25 years spent more than three years out of the game before returning and landing his first Group One victory back with Written By in the 2018 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m).

“He was the catalyst for us to kick off again,” Begg said.

The homebred colt kicked off his career in perfect fashion winning his first four starts in succession highlighted by his dominant two and a half-length victory of the Blue Diamond Stakes.

Sent to Sydney for the Golden Slipper, Written By was an easy winner of the Group Two ATC Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) and was then the first colt home in the Golden Slipper behind Estijaab, Oohood and Sunlight.

The homebred colt went on to run some great races in his three-year-old season including a fourth placing in the Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes where he finished one and a half lengths off the victor, Sunlight.

Having trained Written By’s sire, Written Tycoon, and raced his mother Yau Chin, Begg said there was always something a little bit special about

racing the colt.

“There was a lot of synergy there,” he said.

“He was pretty straight forward as far as soundness goes, he was just a full on two-year-old – he just got up and ran.”

“I would have liked his three-yearold runs to be a little bit better but in saying that he was beaten just under two-lengths in the Coolmore. Then in the Lightning Stakes he only got beaten about two lengths in that, so he really has been a very, very good

horse.”

But for his career on the racetrack, Begg said it felt like the right time to retire his star colt.

“If we waited another 12 months, he’d be four rising five and for us it was a good time for him to head to
