SHELL ROAD TO SPRING ST Dressed for that wedding
Some of the brides that frocked up for the Royal Wedding party at Ocean Grove Tennis Club on Friday night.
OCEAN Grove ladies made the most of William and Kate’s wedding, donning their own wedding dresses - or an op shop stand in - for a right royal celebration at the tennis club. About 50 got in the spirit on the night as the club brought in a big screen to watch the couple exchange vows - and a kiss or two. Their efforts even attracted the attention of the TV networks with both Channel 9 and 10 broadcasting live from their event. The Voice asked presenter Emma O’Sullivan if she had a lot of similar events to cover that night. “No”, she said, “The rest are pretty boring”. Confirmation that Ocean Grove knows how to throw a party.
Flashback: November 2010 when Lisa Neville announced a re-elected Victorian Labor government would have committed the extra funding needed for the Shell Road Reserve sporting precinct.
STATE Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, will present a community petition to Parliament this week calling on the State Government to urgently fund the redevelopment and expansion of Shell Road Reserve Sporting Precinct. The City of Greater Geelong and the Federal Government have already committed to the project. The Brumby Government
committed on re-election $5million. “The Shell Road Sports Precinct should be funded immediately, and this petition, which I will present to parliament this week, further cements the community push for the redevelopment as a major priority for Ocean Grove,” Ms Neville said. • Lights hope for soccer club page 3.

Vital history: The original surf club in Ocean Grove.
The Art of Determining Your Best Colours for Clothing Find out your unique colours!
Ready for a lift: The Ocean Grove surf club is mooted for a renovation that will improve safety at the beach.
A VERY different surf club stood over Main Beach for 40 years before becoming the building we know today. The Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club formed in 1948 before closing down two years later due to a lack of membership. A renewed interest in the club occurred in
the early 1950s with it reforming in 1953. The campaign for its own club rooms soon followed. Stage one of the club’s first rooms was built at the current site in 1955. . The current threestorey club rooms combined with The Dunes Restaurant were officially opened in February 1995.
Club revamp plan OCEAN GROVE beachgoers will be a whole lot safer if a planned renovation for the Surf Life Saving Club goes ahead, according to the club’s president. The club held a forum for its members on March 27 to gather suggestions and garner opinions on what should be involved in a renovation of the club rooms. Club president, Peter Rankin said the project has been discussed for about five years but would soon have its own steering committee run by the Department of Sustainability and Environment. “We’ve had discussions with them over time and we’re at the point now where DSE are going to steer a working group which would consist of Barwon Coast, The Dunes and the surf club,” he said. The current building, built in 1994 on Ocean Grove Main Beach,
houses both the surf club and The Dunes Restaurant, and is run by Barwon Coast. Peter, the club’s president for the past three years, said the much-needed renovations would address the main issues of storage and space. “Since that building was built in 1994, it has clearly outgrown what it now services, compared to what it did then, with 700 members, from a storage and training perspective,” he said. Peter said a renovation would allow the club to do what it does best, patrol and save lives on Ocean Grove beaches. “Improving life saving gear storage and training facilities to a contemporary level will help achieve our core purpose which is to prevent aquatic death at Ocean Grove,” he said. More than 50 club members attended the forum and put forth
plenty of suggestions for the steering group to consider at its first meeting to be held soon. “We effectively said before we entertain any meetings on that steering group we want to go back and ask our members what sort of things they would want to consider in any proposed renovation,” Peter said. Issues raised included better beach access, more storage for equipment, a bigger training space, defined wet and dry areas, a proper entrance to the club and better emergency and wheelchair access. “There was plenty of discussion, surf club people are fairly parochial about their territory, they just want to make sure we get the best things that we can for the members,” Peter said. He said the issues raised were consistent with what had already been discussed. “The fact that they’re consistent with what the members
were thinking is really important,” he said. “We’re in a position now that when DSE call the first meeting of this steering committee we’ll be able to put some of

Take up the relay baton in the Grove The Cancer Council Victoria is calling on Ocean Grove locals to support the 1182 City of Greater Geelong residents diagnosed with cancer this year by taking a lead role in the upcoming Bellarine Relay For Life. Cancer Council Victoria spokesperson Ms Naomi
Greaves said the Bellarine Relay For Life is a unique opportunity to bring the community together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and fight back against cancer. This locally organised event will see teams of locals take turns to walk through the night to raise
funds and awareness to help fight cancer,” Ms Greaves said. The volunteer organising committee is made up of passionate locals, working with Cancer Council Victoria, to deliver this very special event. Currently there are a number of vacancies

on the committee, said Ocean Grove resident and Palliative Care nurse Sue Berry. A Relay for Life information evening will be held at Bellarine Community Health in Presidents Avenue from 7pm on May 16. For more information phone: 1300 65 65 85.
Lights at the end of the tunnel move to another team a few kilometers away that could provide a better home ground. “We do know they have gone to other teams, I mean why would you come play for Ocean Grove where you can’t train properly and you have to get changed in your car?” he said. Surfside Waves is blaming the delay on the Shell Road Reserve project for their loss of members. “From our perspective, the Shell Road project is fantastic but there has been too much talk and not enough action, we’ve been talking about it for a long time,” he said. Ian said they were sick of waiting for the project and
having to work around the sub-standard portables currently located at the reserve. Despite the drop in player numbers, Ian said he wanted to reassure the club members that Surfside Waves would still continue even if the senior teams became unviable. “I don’t think the club will fold, to be honest it might be that we only have junior and not senior,” he said. “However I don’t want to put the fear into our members that we’re on the brink of collapse.” However, the Voice can reveal that $105,00 has been earmarked for floodlights in the City of Greater Geelong’s 20112012 draft budget. The proposal will go to council
A male flasher is again targeting women on 13th Beach. Leading Senior Constable Wayne McArthur said a male exposed himself to a young woman walking along the beach about 4:10pm on Wednesday April 27. Police searched the area soon after without success. This is another of several flashing incidents that have recently occurred near 40W, at the windmill end of 13th Beach. The male is believed to be in his 30s with a balding head and muscular build. Bellarine police is asking anyone who saw the man – or encounter him in the future – to phone immediately. “We’re asking people to notify police as soon as possible, so if they are walking on the beach to carry a mobile phone,” Constable McArthur said. Phone 5256 2698.
CFA garage sale
Draft budget cash could help halt player exodus SOCCER players may be leaving the Surfside Waves, however it doesn’t spell the end of the club according to its president. A lack of lighting and facilities at the Shell Road Reserve has resulted in a dramatic reduction of members during the last three playing seasons. There were originally three senior men’s and two senior women’s teams which have now been condensed to one of each. Surfside Waves president, Ian Waugh, said the lack of appropriate floodlighting meant they couldn’t train after hours, especially during the winter months. “It makes it impossible to train at a senior level, most of those people are at work and uni until after 5pm and it’s dark by the time they make it to training,” he said. Players have been leaving the side for other Bellarine teams that have recently started up and can provide proper training and changing facilities. Ian said he didn’t blame people for wanting to

for formal approval at the end of this month. Councillor Jan Farrell said she is optimistic that this would result in lights by June next year. Another $300,000 has also been set aside for car parking improvements at the aquatic centre.

Appeal cash pours in KIND-hearted Ocean Grovers have collected and donated a massive $39,071 towards the Good Friday Appeal. Venues and volunteers across the town put their collective energy into organising another bumper fundraiser that will go directly to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. In the lead up to the event Woolworths collection boxes pulled in $3,188. As with tradition, on the Thursday before Good Friday, the Mex held its auction night. With the auctioneering and MC’ing skills of BayFM’s Mark Hyland, a massive $8,240 was raised – more than $2,000 than the year before. Down in Collendina, the holiday park’s hole-inone competition brought
in another $2,355. Ocean Grove and Mannerim CFA collections around the town stacked up $14,260. And Club Grove raised another $11,028 during their auction and fundraising night. The town regularly gets a mention on Channel 7’s coverage of the fundraising but this time a film crew came out to the Mex restaurant to complete a live broadcast as the CFA delivered the collections. Local Good Friday Appeal co-ordinator Alistair Drayton said: “It was a great effort. We would like to thank everyone that participated and contributed to our total, which in itself has contributed to another (national) record total of $15 million.”
Local teenagers also took part in Queenscliff’s alfresco Kids Busking for the Kids event, itself raising money for the Good Friday Appeal. Pictured above Funkophone. The event raised $30,000 for the appeal.

Dear Ocean Grove After hearing so much about the community spirit in Ocean Grove, our family was on the receiving end of this when my father fainted and injured himself at the Anzac Day service. Our heartfelt thanks go out to those members of the public who helped out, the CFA and Paramedics who were on hand extremely quickly, as well as to David Renton who drove my husband and children home. Of course, being the family we are, we had to take this opportunity to turn one casualty into three, which certainly kept those helping on their toes and I am sure, creating a humerous story to be retold many times! Thanks again Michele Mitten and family

Days of the dairy A LITTLE bit of Ocean Grove’s history has been lost to progress. The last remaining shed at the old Mitchell’s Dairy on Wyatt Street was pulled down early last month closing the chapter of a site dating back to the late 1800s. Mitchell’s Dairy was originally Newington Dairy, before being taken over by Catherine and Charles Warren, who changed the name to Warren’s Dairy in the early 1900s. The dairy buildings came from around the Bellarine Peninsula and included a weatherboard house dating back to the late 1800s. The house, which burnt down in 1999, was from Mannerim. The Warrens worked at the dairy milking their own cows and delivering to homes using horse and cart for many years, with their daughter, May Mitchell. The business was eventually handed down to her son, Percy Mitchell. Percy’s nephew, Geoff Kiddle, 56, said he remembers the dairy
grove history
being on the outskirts of town. “When I was a kid it was sort of a farm out the back and uncle sold a lot of it in about 1958-59 to people from Melbourne who subdivided it,” he said. Percy became the longrunning manager of Mitchell’s Dairy, which bought the Barwon Heads milk run and took over the Point Lonsdale dairy. Percy would have been well known to locals with newspaper advertisements from the 1960s and 70s advising people to ring P. Mitchell on phone number OG1 for their milk service. The horse and cart made way for a more modern mode of transport in the 1970s. Geoff said the business was a family affair with most working during school holidays. “It was good, the kids really liked it, I enjoyed it, I just got sick of it, getting up

early seven days a week most of the time,” he said. After Percy’s death in 2000, the dairy and surrounding land on Wyatt Street were all sold and the business was moved to its current spot in the industrial estate in 2002. Mitchell’s Dairy is now run by Geoff’s brother Graeme and nephew Scott. “It’s changed a lot now, you’ve got competitors and supermarkets that just about run the show now,” Geoff said. Geoff said he has many memories of the old dairy in the old photo albums as well as one of the glass milk bottles that remind him of his early delivery days. “Its lucky we’ve got some things I suppose, they would tell us things when we were kids but you don’t always remember it,” he said.

Dutch bows out THE recent passing of blues legend Dutch Tilders won’t go unnoticed in Ocean Grove. The grandfather of Australian blues performed in the town and surrounds about half a dozen times during his 50 year recording and performing career. Sadly last month he lost a battle with cancer, aged 69. Dutch first played at the Collendina pub during the 1970s and returned again several times in the last two years. Commenting on the pub’s early isolation before housing was developed in the area, Dutch told the Voice that he just remembered that it was “in the middle of nowhere”. More recently Dutch returned to play shows at Peppers Cafe in Wallington, the Piping Hot Chicken Shop and the Ocean Grove Hotel, formerly the Collendina pub. Part of Dutch’s re-
connection with Ocean Grove came about after locals Richard Grimmett and Alan Barber travelled up to Melbourne to see one of his pub gigs. After the show the two Grovers were lucky enough to get chatting with Dutch and his manager Lynne Wright. “We chatted with Dutch at the back of the venue between sets while he chilled out with a trademark smoke and a can of VB,” said Alan. “This guy was just oozing blues history and rattled off anecdotes about musos and big American performers he’d worked with - all with the driest wit and most genuine humility.” He was also endearingly cranky, someone who would have a go at you and still put a smile on your face. “I was asking him what he thought about harmonica players rocking up to have a jam with him. He tilted his head, took a puff of his smoke and grunted ‘not a
Dutch Tilders. Gone but not forgotten.
lot’,” Alan recalled. “Joking that I just so happened to have one in my back pocket, he replied ‘you can leave it there too’.” Not long after Alan was invited to photograph
Dutch for his 50th anniversary DVD while Richard recorded some classic music and interview video footage of Dutch playing unplugged outdoors near his Vermont home.
“We took Dutch for a shoot among the gum trees and lakeside at Buckanbe Park. He just picked up his guitar and we were treated to the raw talent of one of the world’s great bluesmen.” Dutch’s blues pedigree was recognised by none other than BB King who assumed he must be black because of his voice and guitar style. In the last year Dutch knew he was very ill but continued to perform and many of his protégés including the great Geoff Achison and Lloyd Spiegel rallied to pay their respects with shows in his honour. They also took part in a monster jam recording Dutch’s song Going on a Journey, penned after being diagnosed with cancer. Dutch’s funeral was due to take place at Mitcham Baptist Church on Tuesday. The invite notice stated that guests could BYO instruments to the wake. Out of respect, the harmonica was likely to stay at home.

Above and left, Dawn Service at Ocean Grove and below, the main service and parade. Clockwise from top: the Rotary club breakfast team dished up a hearty start for those that made the dawn service, Ocean Grove scouts were at the forefront of the parade, and Ocean Grove CFA as usual mustered a strong showing for the parade.

About four hours later and the Anzac parade took place with crowds three deep in parts completely lining the

REBEL rockers Wild Turkey paid a visit to the Ocean Grove Hotel on Friday night. Said to be one of the longest running psychobilly and rockabilly acts in Australia, the band are all gifted musicians in their own right and have performed all over Australia and at some
of the most diverse US venues. The band – which travels to gigs in an old hearse - are John Marsden (lead vocals/ lead and slide guitar), Kirk Syrett (drums/ backing vocals) and Guy Lawson (double bass). At the hotel they tore through a heap of
their own tracks as well as Hank Williams and other covers. One song that stood out was drummer Kirk’s song Cannibal – described by one audience member as ‘punk-a-billy’. The band was supported by local ska band Skabang.

NATURE Watch this week focuses on the Australasian Grebe. The pair of Grebes pictured above was spotted in Blue Waters Lake. The Australasian Grebe is a small waterbird, that grows to a maximum length of about 27 cms. They are so small I initially thought that these birds were ducklings of some description. The Australasian Grebe is widely found throughout Australia, mainly in freshwater ponds or rivers. When approached, Grebes dive under the water and swim under water for a distance (as this pair did when I was trying to take photos of them)! The Grebe is very interesting in that the plumage or feather colours change during the breeding season. In non-breeding season the male and female are dark brown above and silver grey below, with a patch of white skin at
the base of the bill. In breeding season both sexes have a glossy black head and a dark brown facial stripe from the eye to the neck. The patch of skin at the base of the bill becomes yellow during breeding season. This pair of Grebes have breeding plumage. Grebes feed on small fish and insects. They dive under water to catch fish. Grebes have also been seen to eat their own feathers and to feed feathers to their young. This is thought to help prevent gastric injuries from sharp bones that have been ingested. They breed from September to January each year, and can raise up to three broods each season. Don’t forget to contact Neil Hickman on 52552724 if you would like to become involved in the local branch of the Bird Observers Club of Australia! By Jennifer Carr.

Waves redefine success OCEAN Grove’s Surfside Waves Soccer Club began their season over the weekend. This year the club will field four junior boys’ teams, two junior girls’ and one senior side each for men and women. Paul Mills, coach of the under 17 boys side this year, said this season will be more about enjoying the game as much as competing for success. “While we’ve enjoyed a lot of success over the years, this year the seniors have decided to drop
By HAMISH BROOKS
down to division 2 in the Geelong League because we’ve lost so many players. It’s as much about getting together and having a game as it is about team success.” “In a way our definition of success is getting people out there and enjoying it. “The social value of sport is that it teaches kids other skills like humility and team spirit and the value of getting out from behind a computer screen for a few hours for some exercise.”
Above: Aaron Tormey on the ball for Waves, right, Jasper Jolley fires home a stunning second half goal for Waves, and bottom right Dean Rory pushing forward.
Great effort in under 13s opener The Surfside Waves women’s team playing four players short, put up a strong performance against a skilful and never say die Geelong side at Shell Road Reserve. The Waves girls carried out to the letter the instructions given to them by Coach Stan Nangle. However, the shortage of numbers proved too much for the brave Surfside Waves who lost 9-2. A special mention must be made to goalkeeper Rachel Sanzaro who fought through a bout of illness to perform excellently for Surfside Waves. Despite the disparity between the numbers, the Waves persisted right to the end. Goal scorer for Waves was Lara Willams.

TALL ORDER: Longboard club juniors Jimmy, Shannon, Grace, Jackson and Bailey are ready to hit the water.
NEARLY 50 surfers turned out for the second SOUL Longboard club day for the year. It had been hoped that with a favourablelooking weather forecast a round of the club championships could be
held. After discussions it was decided to run a club fun day. All the names were put into the hat and there ended up being 10 grading heats to get through. The first heat was announced and in the water by 8.10am.
Heat six of the day had the future of the club take to the water with five of the super junior members showing their longboard prowess. President Brian Tucker said “it was great to see all the kids getting out there
and having a go. This is what this club is all about, surfing families getting in the water and having fun and learning surfing skills as well.” Conditions improved as the tide filled in and, although there were some
flat spells, contestable waves were the order for most of the day. The next event is May 21. Meet at Ocean Grove Main Beach 7am. All the best to those entering the next round of the state titles at Posso’s.

Surf challenge
A GROUP of Bellarine Peninsula women have braved cold water and rough swells to embark on a 10-day surfing challenge at Ocean Grove. Four friends Lisa Vinnicombe, Caroline Jordan, Susanne Prosser and Rhonda Browne (pictured) decided to take up the challenge, over the Eastern break, endeavouring to push themselves to surf each day regardless of conditions. It was a challenge to overcome their fears and to get
into better physical and mental shape. As a result the girls of varying abilities and ages, forced themselves to get into the water each morning at 7.15am and as the 10 days went on, they started to master the skill. They are encouraging others to push themselves and try something outside of their comfort zone. If women are interesting in joining the group, or getting more information, they can phone The Voice on 5255 3233 for details.

A welcome back for Elkanah ELKANAH Foott returns to the Ocean Grove Netball A-grade side after a year away from the club. She filled in for 6 months at St Josephs and had some involvement at a state level before a bad ankle injury sidelined her for the rest of the year. The 18-year-old returns as captain and is something of a parallel recruit for the football and netball club along with her brother Tom, who pleased the football club with his return this season. The appointment of such a young captain might have surprised a few people but she’s relishing the opportunity. “It came as a little bit of a surprise,” she said. “It’s a big responsibility but I also see it as a huge opportunity.” Her naming as captain is less of a surprise when considering her abilities and aspirations and the average age of the side, which is barely over 19. “Because we’re all so young this year it’s all about bonding as a side and getting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses so we can gel better on the court.” Elkanah feels her team is not far away from matching it with the other sides in the competition.

“Each week we learn a bit more about the game and take things away that we can improve on at training.” Speaking prior to the game against Newcomb, Elkanah felt a win was a real possibility. “Newcomb are in a similar position to ourselves in being quite young, so we might see where we’re at against them.” For Elkanah, this year back at the Grubbers is also about enjoying the game again. “Having been injured for the last six months after tearing all the ligaments in my ankle and getting benched a lot in the higher leagues, I’m looking to get some confidence back and to enjoy playing again.” The passionate Melbourne Vixens fan wants to see how far netball will take her and will attend the state trials again next year, with her ultimate dream to play at the highest level for the Melbourne Vixens. “If things go well then great, but if not I’m very happy playing netball for Ocean Grove.” The athletic goal attack cites Australian national netball team captain Sharelle McMahon as the player she models her game on. “I love watching her play and shoot and try and pick up pointers and tips from observing how she plays.” Off court her parents have supported her in the pursuit of the sport she loves. “My parents have been amazing. They’ve supported me the whole way through and have been the backbone of my life. They have travelled with me all round the state and even used to drive me over to Frankston on the Mornington Peninsula to play. I’ve got through the last few years when I stopped enjoying it for a while, because of their support.” Having a couple of sporty older brothers (Harrison and Tom, both of whom play football for the Grubbers) has also helped hone her competitive streak. While she eyes a career in netball at the highest level, she is very glad to be back at Ocean Grove with the added honour of captaining the side. “I’m enjoying it again and it’s great to be back here with a bit more experience. It’s got a fantastic atmosphere with less pressure and politics than at some of the other clubs I’ve played at.” By Hamish Brooks.

A Grade earn hard fought win
Pictures above, B Grade action at Newcomb’s Grinter’s Reserve.
ANOTHER sunny Saturday saw the Ocean Grove netball teams take on Newcomb at Grinter’s Reserve. Despite the glare, the junior girls had a successful morning, with all the teams recording a win. The A grade girls had their first win of the season with a 5-point victory over Newcomb. A grade- OG 47 defeated Newcomb 42. The girls had a great win in a physical game. Best players were Sarah Degenaro in defence and Zanna Woods. B grade- Newcomb 34 defeated OG 20. The team had a tough game and the coach acknowledged there were areas in need of improvement. Luci Ross in attack and Courtney Ractliffe in goals were cited as the best players. C grade- OG 35 defeated Newcomb 19. All the girls played

a strong game to come out with a good win. Lauren Jack was instrumental in the centre and Emma Beck provided 16 goals for the team. D grade- Newcomb 33 defeated OG 19. The girls worked hard in a great team effort but struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. Emma Mclean worked tirelessly in goal attack and Rebecca Kenny provided run through the centre. U19OG 34 defeated Newcomb 13. The girls made their new coach proud with a good win. The result was a great team effort, especially from Lauren Ollis and Georgia Ellis. U17 (2)- OG 31 defeated Newcomb 15. Although it was hot, all the girls played well to
overcome Newcomb. There was great shooting from Lauren Barber and Erin Mercer. U15 (2)- OG 28 defeated Newcomb 9. Well done to the girls for stepping up to the challenge of playing different positions to their usual ones. Among the best players were Alanah Nicol, Meg Hodgson and Alice Digby. U15 (White)- OG 16 defeated St Josephs 7. The team’s best players were Gemma Dunne, Maddie Moroney and Olivia Duhamel. U13 (2)- OG 46 defeated Newcomb 2. The girls produced a fantastic attacking game to dominate Newcomb. Brielle King was named as best player with 8 goals. Katie Fendyk and Carly Saunders also had a great game. U13 (1)- OG 48 defeated
Newcomb 3. Following on from their training focus on ring skills, the girls were too strong for Newcomb. The team’s best players were Maddie Traynor and Sammi Gravener. U13 (White)- OG 18 defeated Drysdale 2. Claudia Britt was cited as best player for her hard work in wing attack. Molly Winter also played well, putting through 11 goals. U13 (Red)Newtown Chilwell 17 defeated OG 10. The team’s best players were Emily Bambrook, Lucy Conquit and Taylor Stapleton. U11OG 20 defeated Newcomb 0. The girls showed great sportsmanship and played in the spirit of the game against an obviously weaker Newcomb side. Zoe Boland played well, as did Maddy Grothers, who shot 8 goals.

GRUBBERs under 18s head into season 2011 intent on a fourth consecutive flag. Rory Nichol, in his first season as stand-alone coach of the side, discussed his side’s aims for the season with Voice reporter Hamish Brooks. Nichol has taken over from Mathew ‘Tissa’ Tyrell, under whose impassioned coaching the young Grubbers won their trifecta of premierships. “Tissa and I are great mates and I shared the coaching duties with him last year, and acted as his assistant the year before that,” said Nichol. They’re big shoes to fill by anyone’s measure, but Nichol’s time around the club has made the transition a smooth one. Many players from last year’s premiership side graduated to the seniors this year (along with Tissa who has taken up an assistant role). Nevertheless, the new crop of players have started the season strongly. “It’s a new group this year but we want to defend our premiership. Our main aim is to finish top three and get
the double chance,” said Nichol. The only blemish this season has been a narrow loss to Geelong Amateurs. “It was really disappointing because we didn’t work hard enough. I don’t mind if we lose by fifteen goals as long as the boys have put in 100 per cent and we didn’t against Geelong.” While, like Nathan Buckley taking over at Collingwood at season’s end, Nichol could be seen to be on a hiding to nothing if his young Grubbers don’t add a fourth premiership to their recent phenomenal run, his focus is as much on developing players as is it is on winning. “The idea is to develop players so that they become strong senior players for the club. It’s how you build a healthy strong club. That’s why I take this job so seriously and why I worked so hard to make sure we had two under 18 sides. So that everyone in the age group in Ocean Grove who wants a game gets one. Nichol sees his job as primarily to turn under 16 footballers into senior footballers. “We train like a senior side. All the
boys are fit and ready to slot into the senior side should they get a call up.” Nichol believes players like Andy Higgins, Jimmy Bennett and Jack Rawlings are all close to a senior berth, but they are among ten players or so who, given consistently good form, could play in the senior side during the year. This is a promising sign of the club’s depth of talent considering firsts coach Cameron McGregor has 75 players to pick from on the senior list. Nichol laughs when I ask him about any of his favourite coaching aphorisms. “The boys could probably give you a hundred but I suppose ‘hard work equals reward’ would go closest to the one I use the most, and that’s true in life as well.” Nichol played his football under many different coaches at different clubs, including Mark Neeld at Ocean Grove, and feels he has taken a little bit from each of them. “My main message on and off the field is to attack life 100 per cent. It’s an attitude that the boys can bring to the game and also get out of it.”
JUNIOR football resumed after the Easter break with our firsts travelling to Bell Park. In a close game all day Bell Park broke the game open in the last quarter kicking the last 4 goals to win 7 14 56 to 6 1 37. Dylan Moroney continued his excellent start to the season to be our best and Sean Dedini with his pace and skill is dangerous around the goals at ground level. Nick Murphy and Robbie
Drever defended well. Goalkickers- Alex Hackett and Dylan Moroney both kicked 2, and Christian West and Robbie Drever both kicked a goal. The seconds got back on the winners list with a thumping of Queenscliff 16 13 109 to 2 1 13. Hugh Attard was tremendous rucking all day and picking up many possessions around the ground. The midfield group of Will Gant, Joe Luppino
and Curtly Balshaw thrived on Hugh’s work in a dominant display. Curtly also worked his way forward into dangerous positions and was rewarded with six goals in a best on ground performance. Brad Fendyk and Cameron Habgood were excellent forwards. Connor Guina continued his excellent start to the season in defence, well supported by Robert Proctor at centre half back. Goalkickers - Curtly Balshaw 6, Brad Fendyk 3, and Spencer Davies, Jack Benjamin, Cameron Habgood, Joel Greenwood, Hugh Attard, Joe Luppino and Will Gant all kicked one goal. The Barwon Grove side came up against superior opposition in Newtown going down by 177 points. Although outclassed, the boys tried hard all day. Jacob Lane was excellent in rucking all day and picking up possessions around the ground. Ben Sanders repelled many attacks with good positioning enabling him to take many marks. Alex Selway and Jacob Van Eggelen tried hard in the midfield against the odds.

OCEAN GROVE did as they should at Grinter Reserve on Saturday, beating Newcomb Power by 131 points. On a day of sunshine and light winds, the Grubbers began the game in a subdued fashion, even though they led by over five goals at quarter time. Newcomb had more of the ball in the quarter, and some attractive passages of play, before inevitable turnovers would gift the Grubbers’ players goals. Travis Gavin stood out in the quarter for the Grubbers with some nippy work up forward, resulting in goals for himself and others. The quarter time huddle saw coach Cameron McGregor address the issue of work rate with his players as there was a chance the Grubbers would go at a trot all day and win largely thanks to Newcomb Power’s ineptitude. His message didn’t immediately sink in. The Power began the second quarter full of effort and voice and managed to reduce the margin by a kick or two, but couldn’t really capitalise on a dominant 15 minutes of play. Consecutive goals to Grubbers forward Tyson Doherty, who was in the side’s best for the day, got the team going. Goals late in the quarter
Cade Wellington kicked two consecutive first quarter goals for Grove at Newcomb.
to Joe Hinckley and Daniel Maloney saw the Grubbers take a half time lead of 50 points. In the second half the Grubbers heeded their coach’s words (at half time he rephrased his demand for a lift in workrate) and noticeably ran harder and worked harder to win the ball. Rowan O’Callaghan kicked a goal in the first minute of the quarter following a centre break. Greg Costello went forward and kicked three goals and repeated the effort in the last quarter to finish with six for the match. He led and marked strongly and gave his teammates just reward for their work up the ground. In the final quarter the
Grubbers kicked 8.4, while the Power could only manage two points. Cade Wellington worked particularly hard in the midfield and kicked a late goal – his second – to cap off a best on ground performance. In other good performances, David Gray provided both dash and poise off half back and Ben Ricardo never stopped running. For a split second after the game the scoreboard read Power 6.5-41 to the Grubbers’ 26.18-174. It was the right final score but the Power scoreboard attendants didn’t leave it up for long. Against a Newcombe Power side whose coaches gasped in surprise when the side executed a successful passage of play,
Cameron McGregor was able to experiment with a few players in different positions and was pleased with the performance. “Costello played forward here for us last year. We were getting it in there and it was nice that he could go forward and finish off the team’s work. He’s got a strong body and good hands,” said McGregor, who wouldn’t mind having two of him in the side. “I’d love to play him down there more but he’s just too valuable for us down back against the better sides.” McGregor was happy with the way the side ran out the game but admitted it was difficult, from the players through to the coaches, to get up against perceived easy beats.
“Across the board we can get better as a club with our body language and enthusiasm. The better sides get themselves up week after week no matter the opposition.” The side had a heavy week on the track which may have also accounted for the sluggish start. “We would have had another heavy week if we didn’t run our legs out here but I was happy with the way the boys finished off,” said McGregor, who was already eying off next weekend’s game against Drysdale, a team the Grubbers haven’t beaten in a home and away game for nine years. “We’ll probably have a heavier session Tuesday and a freshen up on Thursday before we play Drysdale, which will be another good challenge for us. I’d like to think we could knock them off.” The only injury concerns from the game were a knock to the ribs for Luke Sinnott and a jarred knee for Daniel Maloney. Both should be right to play next week. The seconds continued their strong form with a 201 point victory. They kept Newcomb to one goal and kicked 31 themselves. Wade Piec kicked nine goals in a best on ground performance. The under 18s also recorded a strong win, beating Barwon Heads by 100 points at Howard Harmer Oval.

STRONG GRUBBERS READY FOR HAWKS Greg Costello kicked six goals for the seniors.
OCEAN Grove seniors are enjoying one of their most promising starts to the season for years with three wins from their first four games. But after disposing of pre-season favourites Geelong Amateurs two weeks ago and then snuffing out a lacklustre Newcomb by a 131 margin at the weekend, Grove face a reality check in last year’s premiers and boggy team Drysdale at the Memorial Ground. The Hawks will be fired up after their 69-100 loss to pacesetter Anglesea at the weekend. Meanwhile the seconds lead their ladder with maximum points after a 201 point win over Newcomb, with Wade Piec kicking nine of them and James Stapleton six.
