■ Men’s sentences doubled ...
Rapists’ jail time doubled “repetition”, made the offending “especially serious”. “Each acted with the support and encouragement (express or implied) of the other,” the judges said.
“
THEY TREATED HER NOT AS A PERSON DESERVING OF RESPECT BUT AS A CHATTEL… Judge Frank Gucciardo
“This feature heightens the men’s culpability – offending in company is both more vicious and more cowardly – and underlines how powerless the victim would have felt.” By ignoring T’s distress and her pleas to stop, the appeal judges said Miftode and Jurj had humiliated their victim. “They treated her not as a person deserving of respect but as a chattel, a thing to be used for their sexual gratification in whatever way it suited them,” the judges said. Miftode and Jurj were charged in 2011, while in 2012 a jury at their first trial deliberated for six days but could not reach a verdict. Miftode and Jurj were found guilty in 2015.
A friend of East Timor LOLA Maia has more than a few reasons to smile. With the backing of Casey council she has been helping to re-build and support the local community of the Ermera district in East Timor. Lola is the community development worker for the Friends of Ermera which, through its partnership with the City of Casey, continues to lend humanitarian aid to the Timorese district. Lola is visiting Australia for the first time this month, and in between consultations with the City of Casey she spoke to Star News about the continuing support efforts in Ermera.

FACTORY DIRECT BLINDS FOR LESS

TWO men who repeatedly raped a 14-yearold girl at a Hallam factory have had their jail sentences almost doubled. Daniel Miftode, 27, formerly of Pakenham, was initially jailed for six years and nine months, while Ross Jurj, 29, formerly of Berwick, was jailed for five years and five months following the incident in 2009. But the Court of Appeal on Monday 4 April upheld the Director of Public Prosecution’s appeal against the sentences on the grounds they were manifestly inadequate. Miftode was re-sentenced to 12 years and two months in jail with a minimum of eight years and nine months. Jurj was re-sentenced to nine years and six months in jail with a minimum of six years and six months. Just after midnight on 5 April, 2009, Miftode and Jurj offered T (the girl) a lift from a train station, with the appeal judges noting she had been “intoxicated to some extent” after leaving a party. The pair took T to a coffee shop before eventually driving her to a factory where they repeatedly raped her during the night. The two men were convicted of multiple charges, including some where each was alleged to have aided the other. When Miftode and Jurj were sentenced in 2015, Judge Frank Gucciardo described the pair’s behaviour as “vile”. He said they had “disregarded the most fundamental rights of this child” and “debased the victim in fundamental ways”. On Monday the appeal judges said the “prolonged nature” of the rape, and it’s

Council moves to protect growing city from infrastructure black hole Council has made the responsible decision to apply for a rate cap variation of 0.97%, or $14 per household, to enable key infrastructure projects to continue to meet the needs of Casey’s growing community. After signalling its intent to seek a variation in January, the City of Casey has now submitted its application to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) to vary the 2.5% cap being imposed on Councils by 0.97%. Council has a detailed 10-year mOBODJBM QMBO JO QMBDF UP NFFU changing service demands, but the imposed rate cap will effectively leave a $168 million shortfall over this period alone.

Family’s justice plea after tattoo revealed By LACHLAN MOORHEAD TWO years after her murder, Rani Featherston’s family is still searching for answers. The 34-year-old’s father and brother fronted the media for the first time on Saturday 2 April, two years to the date after her body was found with multiple stab wounds lying on Lace Street, Doveton. On the same day, police released a new photo to the public of a temporary tattoo Rani had emblazoned on her right ankle when she was found. New CCTV footage shows Ms Feathertson was inside a shop in Robinson Street, Dandenong, on the day before she was murdered, but she was not wearing the temporary tattoo at this point. It comes after police told reporters they had information that Rani had been heard speaking to a man in nearby Oleander Street, Doveton, on the evening of her death. Rani’s dad, Kevin Featherston, told the media throng on Saturday that justice would be had. “We’re going to get them - who did this to her,” he said. Aaron Featherston, Rani’s brother, said her family had been “broken” by his sister’s murder. “Since Rani has been taken from us, we cannot stress enough, honestly, how broken we are as a family,” Aaron said. “It has smashed our life into pieces.” Police have released more photos of Ms Featherston, while Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntrye urged any-

Thieves scam to take permanent test-drive By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
1202687-PB45-15
POLICE are investigating a series of car thefts from dealerships in Casey and Dandenong, in which a thief purporting to be a customer ends up driving off in the cars. Police confirmed they are looking into a number of car thefts from used and new car dealerships in the Berwick, Kingston, Bayside and Frankston areas. Star News has spoken to the owner of a Dandenong dealership, who had a car stolen from his lot, and who is also aware of similar crimes occurring at a Cranbourne dealership. While some of the cars have been recovered by police, several others are still missing. Melbourne Online Motors owner Norman Favaloro was away from his car lot in Dandenong’s Lonsdale Street last
Crash driver flees pileup A MAN who allegedly caused a five car pileup on the Monash Freeway in Endeavour Hills Monday morning 4 April stole one of the victim’s cars and sped off. Police said a man was driving inbound on the freeway near Heatherton Road, about 8.30am Monday morning, when he hit another car, which then led to three other cars being hit. The driver of the first car then hit a truck. When everyone got out of their cars to exchange numbers one of the male drivers offered to help one of the female victims move her Suzuki Swift. He got in the car and drove away from the scene. No weapons were used during the incident, police said, but one woman was taken to hospital as a precaution. The man is still on the run. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

After the salesman started the car and then lifted up the bonnet, the customer walked past him into the driver’s seat and sped off. Mr Favaloro said the car had still not been found. “Someone has to have balls to come here in broad daylight, jump into someone else’s car and take off with it,” he said. “It’s not unheard of but you never think you will have that customer that does it. “It’s just frustrating ... we’re a small, independent business.” Mr Favaloro said he was aware of a similar theft occurring at a Cranbourne

Family put body and soul into Dandenong WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST-KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT THE UNUSUAL HISTORY OF THE GARNER FAMILY, AFTER WHOM GARNER LANE IS NAMED. JAMES William Garner was killed in a bull attack in 1913. He was a father of seven children and a well-respected man and his death shocked the tight-knit community. During the late 1800s he’d worked as an undertaker at 10 Walker Street, Dandenong, ran a mortuary in nearby Crump Lane and was also involved in a blacksmith business based in Lonsdale Street. The family name was originally spelled Garner but James altered it to Garnar to distinguish himself from other people associated with the Garner spelling. His widow Margaret continued the family business after his death, promoting “first class hearses, mourning
WHAT’S IN A NAME? coaches and all accessories for local and suburban funerals at short notice”. She struggled to continue the family business in the tough post-war years - the onset of the era of ‘motorfunerals’ seemed to create difficulties for her as the farm-based horse-drawn equipment became obsolete during the 1920s. In 1927 James’s eldest son, William James, and grandson Len, 15, took over the business. They changed the business name
from JW Garner to WJ Garnar and Son. The business relocated and operated from 44 Walker Street and it was behind this premises that Garner Lane was located until 2009. William was known for leading funeral possessions on foot along Lonsdale Street. His numerous sisters contributed to the family business, primarily in trimming and decorating the pine coffins. In the 1930s, a severe flood hit Dandenong and William opened his mortuary to discover that two coffins - one empty and one occupied - had been swept away. They were later recovered from the creek in Mordialloc. Len eventually replaced his father
and continued to run the business until he sold it to Le Pine Funerals in 1950. Garner Lane is now on the southern side of the new Dandenong Civic Centre, providing a pedestrian and
vehicle connection between Lonsdale and Thomas streets. Want to know the history behind a street name in Greater Dandenong? Let us know and we’ll find out! Email journal@starnewsgroup.com.au
LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 13 April 1916 Red Cross Dispute SIR - Cr Pearson’s statement as to the affairs, as between himself and the Red Cross Society, reveals him in an unfavourable light, there is more to reveal, and I can understand him not wishing to continue a newspaper controversy. I would remind him that abuse is not proof, any more that statements, more especially when either the abuse or the statement is untrue. A few matters may be mentioned very shortly that will convince the most casual reader that the President (Mr. Pearson has not confined himself to the truth). 1 The President states he did not demand that his wife be made the head of the Red Cross Society. The ladies themselves will state that he did, and he said to the councillors that she was entitled to it. 2 The President stated that he did not close
the room to the Red Cross Workers. He now admits he did so. 3 The matter was not brought before the council by the President as he states, but by a letter from Miss Hayman applying for another room, and backed up by a deputation 4 The President attended a meeting of the Red Cross Committee on Thursday March 23rd and read a statement said by him to be signed by a number of people. Mrs Pearson now admits that the statement and names were in her hand writing and that there were no signatures.

While market manager Chris Giannopoulos said the toilets would be repaired by last Friday’s market, Dandenong resident Rob Gillings said the toilets had become an ongoing problem. Mr Gillings said a friend, a women who works at the market, told him about the state of the women’s toilets near the Cleeland Street entrance last Thursday week.

IT’S hard to think of a more shining light for wayward youth than the ever-optimistic Nelly Yoa. The Dandenong man, who narrowly survived a horrific machete attack at a Sudanese beauty pageant in 2011, has taken on a mentoring role with members of the notorious Apex Gang. He is also the subject of an inspiring short-documentary Offside, due for release this month. Mr Yoa considers himself lucky to be standing, having nearly bled to death from the unprovoked attack. He was told by doctors at the time he may not walk again after being slashed several times on the knee, elbow and wrist. A year later, he was walking with a distinct limp with only a 20 per cent chance his nerve-damaged right arm would repair. Undaunted, he fully recovered - he learnt how to walk again, battled post-traumatic stress and silenced the doubts that he would make it back on the soccer park. He has recently returned from playing in a Chinese soccer league. Over coming weeks, he will try out for A-League sides. Remarkably, he has recovered his full sprinting ability - something the winger/ striker considers one of his strengths. Another of Mr Yoa’s strengths is his motivational speech. He sat down recently to coach some Apex Gang members, many who were unemployed and estranged from families. “What I said was try to keep yourself busy and involved in other things. Go back to school, get a job and get yourself known in the community. “Do something in the community. Not just their community but in the Caucasian community as well. “Act like an Aussie - that’s the only way the Sudanese name can be shown in
IN OCTOBER, Dandenong Market will celebrate its 150th anniversary. In honour of this significant occasion, the market is collecting photographs and stories from the local community to be published in a book later in the year. Dandenong Market’s general manager Jennifer Hibbs said: “Dandenong Market has been the cornerstone of bustling community life for almost 150 years. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the contributions that the local community has made to the market – we are immensely proud of our long-held market traditions and the role we have played as a local meeting place. “It is here that livestock was bought and sold, fresh produce was traded and life-long friendships were formed. “Markets are most loved for their people - both traders and shoppers – and we hope to capture Dandenong’s market characters in our historical book. “We want to hear stories from locals, traders and visitors to the market and hear about what the market means to you.” To share your photographs, stories and memories with the market, please email info@dandenongmarket.com.au or call 9701 3850.
Nelly is back on side
Nelly Yoa is showing the way for young people to overcome adversity. 152555 a positive way.” Mr Yoa believes “Aussies aren’t racists”. “You’ve just got to understand the way they socialise.” Recently, he turned down a spot in the South Sudanese national soccer team’s African Cup of Nations campaign. “I’ll take my chances with the Socceroos.”
In the 15-minute doco Offside, there’s a re-enactment of the assault and how Mr Yoa rebuilt himself mentally and physically. “It’s an inspirational type of feel-good story. I know people with ACL (knee ligament) injuries who have had operations and they tend to give up. “Hopefully this will motivate them to pursue their dream.”

Visit celebrates friendship By LACHLAN MOORHEAD ALMOST 20 years since the 1999 East Timorese crisis, the sovereign state is still re-building. For most of that time the Friends of Ermera, through its partnership with the City of Casey, has been pivotal in contributing to that re-build. But the Friends of Ermera, whose members are based in Casey and regularly travel to the Timorese district, couldn’t do what they do without a lot of help from Timorese contributors who act as their eyes and ears on the ground. Lola Maia is one of these invaluable helpers. The Timorese-born 28-year-old is the Community Development Worker for the Friends of Ermera. Based in East Timor, Lola’s role sees her work closely with the Friends of Ermera Commission based in Timor, and visits projects and programs being undertaken as part of the initiative.
Lola landed in Australia last week - her first visit to the country - and will spend the next month in discussions with representatives of the City of Casey to strengthen the partnership between Ermera and Casey Council, while also visiting various friendship schools in the municipality. “It’s really important,” Lola told Star News. “What the community in East Timor really need is to build a better life and support families and support all the youth that are studying in senior school and junior high school. “Education is very important.” Lola knows more than a little about East Timor and education. The community worker and her husband, Andre, have two children - fiveyear-old daughter Stefania and two-year-old son Stefanio - and live in a small village known as Lauala, just outside the Timorese town of Gleno, in the Ermera district.
Having worked in her role for the last five years, Lola has been instrumental in helping to organise Ermera’s women’s groups, scholarships for school students, kindergarten programs, and many other projects. Friends of Ermera president Jan Trezise said the role Lola played for their group couldn’t be understated. “She’s been a very effective link, she’s ensured we get proposals,” Jan said. “She works with the commission and goes out and visits the group, then recommendations are made.” Lola previously taught English to children in Cambodia and Malaysia, an experience that Jan said put her in great stead as she taught the same
lessons to kids in Ermera. “Since 1999, Timor has had to choose which language it uses, and develop its own curriculum for schools,” Jan said. “Very few people have had the opportunity to be leaders, and we’re such a close neighbour, we share lots of values, and it’s appropriate for Australia to assist in developing those skills. “While she’s here Lola will learn new things, but also there’s things that are already happening in Timor that she’s a part of that are very important.” For more information about the Friends of Ermera, visit www.casey.vic.gov.au/council/ about-casey/sistercities/ermera

$5000 fine for felling a tree A MAN has been fined $5000 after illegally chopping down 53 trees at a Doveton property. The man pleaded guilty in the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court after failing to obtain a permit from council before lopping the trees. The man did not record a conviction, but was ordered to pay council’s costs. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the recent incident sent a clear message to the community.
“This serves as a serious reminder to industry professionals, developers or anyone who is planning to remove trees or other vegetation to check with council to confirm any permit requirements that might apply, before undertaking work,” he said. “With a growing population, trees provide a very important habitat, wildlife corridor and visual amenity aspect in Casey.
“Illegal vegetation removal will not be tolerated, and council will take enforcement action when there is a clear breach of the planning regulations. “If in doubt, check with council, so you can proceed with certainty.” For more information, contact Casey Council on www. casey.vic.gov.au.

A CAR theft victim foiled the thief by chasing and letting down air from a tyre of his stolen vehicle. Jesse Van Eijk, 22, had stolen the Corolla from a home in Dandenong about 10.30pm on 6 November, a court heard on 4 April. The male victim was awoken by his girlfriend who heard the car engine revving. He ran out to the front lawn and saw his car being driven away. Later that night the victim sighted the vehicle being driven twice and in Dalgety Street he was able to catch up with it and let down one of the tyres. The next morning, police received reports of suspicious behaviour involving a man changing a car tyre in Chestnut Grove, Doveton.
Van Eijk was attending to the Corolla, which had a damaged front right wheel. He told police he’d already used the spare to replace a flat rear tyre. In the car police found a cap gun. The gun’s caps and the Corolla’s keys were in the accused’s pocket. An unlicensed Van Eijk told police that he’d bought the car from an unknown male in Narre Warren for $250 but was unable to produce any paperwork. The accused claimed the gun was in the car when he ‘bought’ it. Van Eijk had been arrested on an outstanding warrant after being found drunk at Dandenong railway station on 2 April. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard that Van Eijk was living on the street at the time because his family refused to let
him live at their home. He had failed to complete most of the required hours of a current community work order. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen told Van Eijk that “you’re on a cusp and could wobble either way”, noting the accused’s youthfulness, drug-and-alcohol issues and lack of prior convictions. Mr Vandersteen said that Van Eijk’s life could turn around if he found stable accommodation and a job. On the other hand, Van Eijk wouldn’t want to continue to have stints in custody into his 30s, the judge said. Van Eijk was convicted and put on a supervised community corrections order with drug, alcohol and mental health treatment. He was disqualified from driving for six months.

WHEN Lisa Hansen let her Scottish Fold cat outside her Berwick home for 20 minutes, she didn’t expect him to return soaked and dripping in engine oil. In a shocking case of animal cruelty - following the sickening butchering of two kangaroos and an unborn joey in Lysterfield South last month - Ms Hansen said she was “frightened”. “I was totally devastated, it was very distressing and upsetting,” Ms Hansen said. “Just the thought that we are living near someone who could deliberately hurt such a vulnerable animal.” One year old Migs the cat was drenched in engine oil within a 20 minute window on Wednesday 23 March. Vets at the Animal Emergency Centre in Hallam believe he was picked up and dunked. “I rushed him to the emergency department, my skin was burning from touching him so you can imagine what it was doing to his skin,” Ms Hansen said. “The vets said they had seen it before and that there was no way he could have rolled in it to have been covered that badly.” The oil was so thick that Migs was bathed six times, before vets were forced to sedate and shave him. “They had him in a humidicrib and he had to stay in overnight because they were concerned about the fumes and
Migs the Scottish Fold was dunked in engine oil in a shocking attempted killing in Berwick last month. Picture: Contributed if he had digested any which could cause liver and respiratory damage,” Ms Hansen said. The incident was reported as deliberate by vets at the centre. Vets advised Ms Hansen that her beloved Scottish Fold had been picked up and dipped in the oil, due to the precise point under his armpits. Ms Hansen was quick to report the distressing cruelty to her local police station, who told her they were “shocked”. “The police officer was interested because our area is so quiet; they said we just don’t hear a peep out of your area.” Since the torturing and possible attempted killing, Ms Hansen has taken to her “quiet” street to alert locals. “I went door knocking and everyone we saw, apart from our direct neighbours, didn’t even know we had two cats and two dogs,” Ms Hansen said. It is routine for Ms Hansen to let her dogs and Migs outside at 8.45pm each night.
And this was the first time Ms Hansen had experienced animal cruelty in a street she has lived in for 25 years. “Cats shouldn’t be in neighbours’ yards anyway but that doesn’t excuse animal cruelty, we do follow council rules and we are doing our best,” Ms Hansen said. “I take responsibility for my cat, they shouldn’t be on other people’s property but neighbours should come and talk to us, animal cruelty is never acceptable. “I hope it’s not the first of more to come.” The heartless act of animal cruelty left Ms Hansen with a $600 vet bill and a much more timid cat. “We are looking at getting a cat run and Migs is a lot clingier,” she said. “It’s scary to think someone who lives in the area has done this because he was out for such a short time, it had to have happened somewhere local, by someone local.”

COVER STORY
A PLACE OF SPACE IMAGINE a place with plenty of green spaces and country charm which is still close to all the important amenities, a place for a family to grow which is close to everything but a world away from care. Savannah - Officer aims to be that location. Officer’s newest estate on the cusp of Beaconsfield offers a rare combination of country charm, generous green spaces and city luxuries. Rich in local history, this once quiet country town is now Melbourne’s newest place to be. A dream home could be within walking distance to the new town centre which will be the “go to” place for shopping, socialising, entertainment and services. With cafes and restaurants, a town square, a community hub, new cinema, retail strip, library, performing arts space and an aquatic centre so close to hand it almost doesn’t matter how close residents are to train stations, the M1 and the rest of Melbourne. Savannah is centrally located to everything a growing family needs. There are places to run, play and kick footy, childcare close to home, convenient public transport and a supportive and a close-knit community. New residents don’t need to travel far to great amenities because nearby thriving Pakenham has an enviable mix of shopping and dining as well and residents can wander the historically significant Winjeel trail around Lakeside Pakenham Estate, explore the local bush at Bunyip State Park or visit a local market for fresh produce. A 15 minute drive will take residents to the heart of Dandenong. And with young families in mind, Savannah is a place where kids can grow and run and yet have plenty of options from daycare through to university because, when it comes to school, the region is spoilt for choice with Officer, Berwick and Beaconsfield being home to world-class primary, secondary and tertiary options. Discover Savannah Officer at the sales office at 432 Princes Highway, Officer. Phone 9800 0000 or contact Janine Scott-Rule on 0417 160 423.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Students try out careers THE South East Try-a-Trade and Careers Expo helps answer the age-old question - what do you want to be when you grow up? The special annual careers expo will take place on Tuesday 19 April at the Cranbourne Racing Complex, with thousands of eager young people expected to turn out to the event. The exhibition is organised by the South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN), supported by several sponsors including the Casey Cardinia Region and Star News Group. It aims to provide more local job opportunities for young people. More than 2000 students are expected at this month’s event, which will be the eighth annual Try-a-Trade. “It’s one of the big flagship events for the region when it comes to careers,” SELLEN CEO Andrew Simmons said. Trades on display include carpentry, plumbing, tiling, bricklaying, painting, hair and beauty, engineering and many others. In addition to hands-on practical components at the expo, the event also allows students the opportunity to talk to qualified tradespeople and career advisers about the different occupations and pathways available. “It’s an opportunity for young people to have a look at and actually get their hands dirty,” Mr Simmons said. “If they’re thinking about being a bricklayer, they can talk to brick layers and come and lay some bricks.” Mr Simmons said there would 70 different trade and career options to choose from at the expo. “Come on down and explore your future opportunities,” he said. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the
Fifteen-year-old Harry picked up some building tips from Jarrod Flanigan of the Master Builders Association at last year's 2014 Try-a-Trade and Picture: ROB CAREW Careers Expo. 119427 expo was an opportunity for recent graduates to “discover some of the career paths available to them”. “The expo is an opportunity to
learn from industry experts and get some practical insight to different occupations, with hands-on displays for people to try out,” he said.
“From graphic design to hairdressing to building, the expo brings together a variety of industries and occupations to help young people plan for an exciting future.”
For more information on the Trya-Trade and Careers Expo, contact SELLEN on 9794 6921 or the City of Casey’s Economic Development Department on 9705 5200.
Manufacturing takes lead to grow region MANUFACTURING may be on the wane in many parts of Victoria, but it continues to be the powerhouse which is driving the economic health of the Casey Cardinia region. The manufacturing sector is put under the microscope in the second edition of business magazine Grow, a joint venture between the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire and Star News Group. The April issue looks at why manufacturing firms continue to succeed in the Casey Cardinia region and looks ahead to the boom many in the industry predict. Business director of Berwick component manufacturer Australian Precision Technologies Ron
Weinzierl predicts “exciting times ahead“ for the region. Read Mr Weinzierl’s thoughtful analysis of the future of manufacturing in the region, a view echoed by Casey Cardinia Business Group chair Ian Ash. In an exclusive Q&A with Grow, Mr Ash says the region is on the cusp of a growth spurt. “I don’t think we have reached anywhere near to where wer are going to be,“ Mr Ash told Grow. “The best is yet to come - by far.“ The magazine also profiles Pakenham based business Hero HQ which is revolutionising the training industry and visits Cranbourne-based Silk Education, which is equipping young people with skills to succeed in the hospitality industry.
There are also stories on businesses as diverse as fresh herb growers, apple processors, an art gallery and a high-end mobile design and development start-up. Grow also provides practical information for those wanting help navigating the planning permit process, which is required for actions such as subdividing, erecting advertising signs, changes to car parking or new developments. On the lighter side, the April issue talks to Tim Leeds of Melbourne Rotomould about his passion for extreme sports. For more on these an other stories pick up a copy or go to growcaseycardinia.com.au.

Walk through war history By GARRY HOWE A COMMITTED group of local history sleuths has again been busy digging up details of Anzac heroes in preparation for a cemetery tour. Members of the Narre Warren Family History Group have been working overtime at Pakenham Cemetery over the past few months to uncover the stories behind those who served in World War One. They will take interested people through their journey on Sunday 17 April when they host a war cemetery walk. They held a similar event at Berwick Cemetery last year in the lead-up to the Anzac Centenary. In their research they discovered that Brigadier General Cecil Henry Foott had lain in the cemetery for 70 years in an unmarked grave. With the help of the Berwick RSL, the local cemetery trust and Cameo Memorials, they rectified that situation, a gesture
that brought many group members to tears. Group member Jane RivettCarnac said there were no hidden Brigadier Generals at Pakenham, but their work did uncover a myriad of inspirational and sad tales. “We have a nurse, a sailor, two Aboriginal soldiers, two POWs, men who put their age up and others who put their age down, a mother who collapsed when told of her son’s death and died 15 days later, a father and son who enlisted and 23 sets of brothers,” she said. “We found 64 families who supported 120 men and one woman as they enlisted. “Four of these men did not complete basic training due to medical reasons, 24 families sent two or more sons to the front and three of these families sent four or more sons.” Of the 120 remembered at Pakenham Cemetery, 30 died while on service overseas. The first to die was Private E T Bryan at Lone Pine,
Gallipoli, on 24 June 1915. Another 18 died in France, one at Gallipoli, eight in Belgium, two in Egypt and one in England. Fifty-four were wounded, and eight wounded several times. One soldier, Private W Smith, was wounded four times. Those who returned had many and varied experiences during their service and upon their return 16 took up soldier settlement blocks and 11 went on to re-enlist for World War Two. The Sacrifice and Patriotism – World War One Walk in Pakenham Cemetery will start at 10am on Sunday 17 April, with a charge of $5 per adult, payable on the day. The walk runs for about 90 minutes. Bookings are essential through cemetery.tours@nwfhg.org.au or by phoning 9796 1421. The group will also have a book for sale detailing the stories of the soldiers remembered.
Youth tapped for park upgrade THE City of Casey is turning to the youth of Endeavour Hills as council prepares to upgrade the local skate park. The suburb’s skate park will be upgraded as part of the development of the new Endeavour Hills Civic Centre. The draft plan for the new precinct was put on public exhibition a year ago and outlines council’s blueprint for the development of the site at 63-65 Heatherton Road, which is slated to include high density housing and more commercial and retail floor space. At a barbecue on Monday 21 March, Four Oaks Councillors Rafal Kaplon and Rosalie Crestani met with the “local youth” to get their views on “what the youth precinct and skate park should look like”.
“The landscape in the approximate location of the existing skate park will incorporate multi-use skate elements as part of a youth-focused precinct,” Cr Kaplon said. “The design of the landscaping will allow for a variety of uses including people-watching, addressing and dealing with the site’s topography and level changes, skating, and amphitheatre uses in an integrated and adaptable urban landscape. “A digitally interactive and Wi-Fi enabled space will also be investigated.” In addition to the youth and skate precinct, Cr Kaplon said the civic centre development would include terracing from the public square to Raymond McMahon Boulevard, as well as an interim level surface at the
bottom of the hill to enable easy access across the site to the Endeavour Hills Neighbourhood House and Leisure Centre. “It is great to see this project finally up and running, the site has been of great interest since 1975, but after multiple attempts no way forward was found to develop the site,” Cr Kaplon said. “It has taken me the majority of three years to work closely with council officers to develop a master plan and then find appropriate funding to get the project started. “It was my key promise to the residents of Endeavour Hills and will provide a community heart for residents of all backgrounds and age groups to enjoy together.”

Kelly punts on new team By JARROD POTTER TAKING his college punting to the next level, former Nar Nar Goon footballer Dean Kelly has made the switch to Jacksonville State. Kelly, 26, from Endeavour Hills, has been through a lot in the last year with his former college Stillman cancelling the football program, leaving him on the hunt for another school on short notice. But there was a silver lining in Stillman’s decision - Kelly could move to any number of potential suitors on a free release. “Initially I only thought I had two years of eligibility left, but once our season started and I was on the roster as a freshman ... I had a full four years to play,” Kelly said. “So once they did drop the program it was a pretty crazy time for me I had about 10 schools that day call me and message me on social media showing their interest in me - so in a way it helped as I got a free release which normally we wouldn’t have gotten. “Seeing Stillman drop the football program is a huge and controversial decision - we found out with a week to go of the semester and it was pretty poor how they told everyone but we met as a team afterwards and after we met that was the last time I saw a majority of my team mates, a lot transferred schools straight away.” He chose to join the Gamecocks after he found himself in the midst of a recruiting frenzy from colleges eager to sign up the SIAC All Conference/4th Team AllAmerican punter. “I am stoked - they have a great program, playing in a national championship over two months ago and they play some
Dean Kelly has made the biggest punt of his collegiate career - switching to Jacksonville State for his upcoming junior season. quality teams and I can’t wait to get stuck into it in the summer,” Kelly said. “The opportunity to go to a school where I can not only earn a master’s degree in sports management and earn my teacher’s certification, but also to play at LSU (Louisiana State University) in front of 100,000 people and to go deep into championship playoffs is something that I really wanted to be part of.” Kelly finished his Stillman season with 52 punts for 2158 yards at a 41.7 average including a long of 66.
He can look back on his second - and ultimately final - season at Stillman with pride, as he gave it his all with the punting and even on the odd occasion - rushing. “As a team it was very disappointing only winning three games and having lapses in most games which hurt us badly,” Kelly said. “Personally I was pretty happy with my year. The highlight for me was senior night, our last home game of the year against Miles who is a big rival just up the road on a Thursday night and I had my best mate fly over for two weeks.
On my second punt of the night down, two touch downs it was 4th and 19 deep in our defence and I only saw one guy rush me and I decided to take him on and I ran for 29 yards which was our longest rushing yard from scrimmage of the year. “That drive resulted in a TD, the boys and crowd went nuts.” The step up isn’t just on the field at Jacksonville State, as Kelly knows every little aspect of his game will be refined and honed in the NCAA Division 1 program. “My averages are as good as anyone in the country but there are little things I need to do to improve and help better my game, so by having these coaches work one on one with me daily and playing on turf every game should help me where I didn’t have these type or resources at Stillman,” Kelly said. It’s a tough decision to stick to his great American dream - while his friends are getting married, buying houses and moving ahead with their careers - but Kelly doesn’t regret his choice for a second. “The chance to keep doing what I am doing and joining a D1 program, which has great results, and to earn another degree ... it’s a once in a life time opportunity and I would be silly to turn my back on a free education,” Kelly said. “I also get to take in the experience playing in front of 23,000 every home game - that is going to be pretty crazy. “Just learning and getting better and if something comes from it after college that would be awesome to get paid to punt but I am just loving doing what I am doing and earning my degrees which is why I am here.”
Local legends first in new cricket hall of fame By JARROD POTTER YOU would struggle to find six more deserving men to be the inaugural inductees into the Dandenong District Cricket Association’s Hall of Fame. The league asked clubs this season to submit nominations for those they believe were Hall of Fame worthy and the inaugural six certainly stand up to that status. The first choice was no great surprise. Alan Wookey - the legendary DDCUA figure who umpired 400 first grade games and more than 25 first grade turf grand finals - was an obvious choice, especially since the league’s medal is named in his honour. DDCA president Michael Hawking was another to earn his place in the Hall of Fame, with his on-field achievements with Hallam Kalora Park too hard to go past. Another Wookey Medallist, Hawking’s efforts as an administrator are just as impressive as his work as a player with his 401 Turf 1 wickets making him a nightmare to face in the 1980s/1990s. “It’s indeed a very high honour and I was very pleased to accept it - I suppose it’s something you’ve got to earn over a long period of time and got to satisfy the criteria and I was able to do that,” Hawking said. “I’m very humble in accepting it - it’s a great thing that we’ve started.” St Mary’s duo Stephen Meyer - revered local bowler and dual Wookey Medallist - and Troy Cashman - exceptional batsman with 7500 runs in 250 matches including a whopping 14 centuries - made the grade on opposite sides of the ball and it was no surprise their time at St Mary’s co-incided with the club’s great successes of the 1990s/2000s. Dual Wookey Medallist and now
DDCUA mainstay Alan Wookey, pictured with 2016 Wookey Medalist Matt Chasemore, was one of the first six men inducted into the DDCA's Hall of Picture: JARROD POTTER Fame. 151397 Victorian Premier Cricket premiership Walton probably the best fast bowler I’ve winning coach Steven Chapman was an- ever seen, Cashman definitely with John other to get inducted on the first ballot as Hammond the best bat I’ve seen. Chapman excelled for years with Hallam “Chapman for his all-round ability and Kalora Park after he moved to Australia. Chapman was more than a batsman and a “All those guys have incred- bowler as he revolutionised our cricket, ible achievements over the period in the because getting him out here sounded DDCA,” Hawking said. “Meyer with Rob warning bells for all the association.
“They had to improve and perhaps go outside the normal recruiting structure to get an overseas player.” The final member, and inaugural Administrator inductee, Peter Barnes has been synonymous with the DDCA for the last three decades - 10 of which he served as league president. Hawking encouraged the clubs to look beyond the recent history and find out the champions of the league’s early days to make sure the Hall of Fame isn’t just for recent contributors. “You have life-memberships for years of service and some of these cricketers don’t necessarily get life-membership but their performances deserve recognition and I would expect clubs will delve deeper into their history and get a handle on the great names of the past that would qualify,” Hawking said. “That’s obviously the highest honour you can achieve - in any sport - to be in a Hall of Fame and it’s very important to recognise these people. “Guys like Harry Shepley and Bill Storan - who had an amazing influence in the Dandenong community in particular in sport; they’re the sort of considerations worth thinking about. “There’s more than just the people who have performed and achieved over the last 20-30 years and those in the past who have names on pavilions and sports grounds - it would be great to see the clubs that were associated with these people to delve into the past and see their contributions and they also should be added if they satisfy.” DDCA HALL OF FAME: Alan Wookey, Michael Hawking, Steven Chapman, Troy Cashman, Stephen Meyer, Peter Barnes.
Fire feels the heat CAN the magic FFA Cup qualifying run continue for Endeavour Hills Fire SC?

The Fire has lit up Sebastopol Vikings, Lyndale United, Elwood City and in the fourth round - gunned over State League 2 South East side Sandringham SC 2-1. Goals from Stefan Bontemps and Reha Ulusoy ensured the Fire would get a chance in the fifth round against NPL 2 East side Kingston City. The side - based at Power Reserve, Doveton - has been the surprise packet of this year’s competition and president Chantal Moothoo puts it down to everything aligning over the past three seasons. “We’ve always had a very good team at the club but the fact that we’re a smaller club - it’s not easy at the start of the season to play a big part of the FFA Cup,” Moothoo said. “In the last three years, since 2013, our team has been coming stronger and stronger and this year we made a move and really appreciative of the run.” The club was meant to have completed lights at Power Reserve’s soccer pitch, but City of Casey works have gone over schedule and forced the club to look for alternative venues for the clash, scheduled midweek around 20 April. The Fire continues to push through the ranks and the president believes that whatever happens next week, there’s plenty on the horizon for the up-and-coming side. “All I say to the boys is to hang on for a draw - Kingston City is a good team - but we’ll let the penalty kicks do the job for us,” Moothoo said. “We’ll see what happens, but the boys are very excited to be at this level and playing. “The boys deserve to be there - they’ve put in a lot of hard work and, hopefully, we can go a little bit further and go into the 16.” Also gunning for their spots in the sixth round are State League sides Doveton SC and former FFA Cup Round of 32 entrants South Springvale, alongside NPL 2 Victoria East tandem Dandenong Thunder and Dandenong City.

Keysy and Hallam soar By JARROD POTTER GREATER DANDENONG FOOTBALL - ROUND 1 REVIEW THE Burra continued their rampage throughout Southern Football League’s Division 2 competition, flying high in Saturday’s season opener against the Bombers. Heading into round 1 without three of its alltime champions - Corey Wilkinson, Tyson King and suspended playing-coach Ryan Goodes Keysborough found new avenues to goal to eke out the 8.13 (61) to 7.9 (51) triumph over Skye. Goodes - who is serving a 14-week suspension for an incident in the finals last year - had to stand behind the boundary fence to see his lads put a determined effort into the books. The scoreboard didn’t see much action through the first half, but despite the closely contested battle, Keysborough kicked away to a handy 23-point lead at the main break. Forwards Cory Hargreaves (three goals) and Jake Dunn (two) provided plenty up forward for the likes of Danny Morland, Will Gayfer and Michael Downie to hit up, while ruckman Bryce Sutton strung together a big collection of hit-outs on Saturday afternoon. They were troubled late in the clash - as the Bombers booted six of the last nine goals - but in the end the Burra got to belt out the song in front of the club faithful to start its second season in the Southern league in style. Springvale Districts is the low-man on the Division 2 totem pole after round one, downed by Heatherton 4.8 (32) to 9.17 (71). Under new coach Danny Rout, the Demons struggled to hit the scoreboard through the first half - spraying its way to 1.5 (11) by the main break. But the District lads surged in the third, bringing the margin back to 12 by the final change. In the end though, the Tonners had far too much in the final term, booting five-goals-five to finish Springvale Districts’ hopes of a round 1 victory.
Lyndhurst’s Hamish Browning battles it out against Hallam’s Dion Cavello in the Picture: JARROD POTTER Lightning’s debut SFL clash. 152663 In Division 3, debutants Lyndhurst put Hallam under early pressure but in the end the cooler heads prevailed as Hallam took a 15.10 (100) to 7.5 (47) win. Sharing the scoring burden, Shane Thomas and Andrew Daly (five goals each) had it on a string up forward while midfielder Rory McIvor and captain Manny Peresso were too strong in the centre. The only downside from the loss was a severe ankle injury for Chris Molnar. Lyndale had to work hard to give debut coach Brad Bruni his first taste of the Pumas’ refrain in a 12.9 (81) to 9.6 (60) triumph over South Yarra. Running out onto Barry Powell Reserve from the scoreboard side - in honour of recently de-
parted long-serving clubman Kevin “KT“ Thomas - the Pumas worked their way into the clash with some hard work off the back of Daniel Wilson, Taylor Rainey and Matthew Stuart. The tide shifted Lyndale’s way in the second term as Brad Carroll (four goals), Stuart (two) and Bertrand Mcgaw (two) booted the side ahead and that’s where the Pumas stayed throughout the first afternoon of the season. Endeavour Hills joined the winners list with a 11-point shootout victory over Ashwood. It boiled down to the final term, with the sides separated by three at the last change, but in the end the Falcons soared on the back of Mitch Whatman (four goals), Cedric Legrand (three)
Thunder rises over Goulburn Valley Suns By JARROD POTTER NPL 2 EAST AND STATE LEAGUES DANDENONG Thunder continued its merry march towards the top flight with a 3-2 win on the road against Goulburn Valley Suns. The road-trip to Shepparton didn’t halt the Thunder’s 2016 goal-spree, especially after import striker Brandon Barnes (44’ and 70’) opened the accounts just before the half. The Thunder let Hakeem Alaraibi get loose at the back though - as the former Bahraini junior shone for Goulburn Valley. At every turn Alaraibi dogged the Dandenong defence as he kept the margin from getting out of hand. But Dandenong had too much firepower at the front as Amir Osmancevic (56’) doubled the margin early in the second half. That was before Barnes added a second to cap off another strong showing for the Englishman at his new club. It was left to Alaraibi again to bring the gap back, which he did as he slotted one past Fraser Maclaren with a few minutes left, but the Thunder doused the Suns’ last-ditch efforts to bring the victory back to Dandenong. A plus-17 goal difference leaves Thunder well and truly on top with an unbeaten seven-game winning streak. Sitting five points clear of Kingston City, Thunder heads into the first-versus-third superclash against Brunswick City on Saturday night aiming for eight on the trot. Springvale White Eagles failed to flourish against Box Hill United, but did enough to take a point in a 1-1 draw after Damir Stoilovic (91’) came off the bench to make the last-ditch goal and salvage the tie. WNPL side Southern United faced Heidelberg United on Sunday after the Journal went to print while Dandenong City travels to Kingston City on Monday night in its round 7 clash. In Round 8, Dandenong City hosts Eastern Lions while Springvale White Eagles battles Nunawading City away on Sunday afternoon. In FFV State League results, South Springvale was thumped 1-5 by FC Clifton Hill and Noble
and Shane Peake (three). Byron Hoe picked up where he left off last year alongside Daniel Strom and Ben Swift in the best. Doveton Eagles thrashed Sandown 22.7 (139) to 5.7 (37). Peter Dye (seven goals) was unstoppable up forward alongside Darren Ramsdale (four). Big number 66 Jarrod O’Neill was best afield for the Eagles while Jake D’Atri, Scott Jackman and Michael Edwards were the best of the Cobras’ attack. Dandenong bucked the winning trend though; downed by 72 points as Moorabbin proved far too mighty. Luke Harvey, David Barrie and Dale Jose were best afield for the Redlegs. Eastern Football League kicked off emphatically as Noble Park defeated South Croydon 16.9 (105) to 11.8 (74) on the back of a huge bag from forward Shayne Allan. The Bulls’ forward maestro booted seven for the afternoon, with lace out delivery coming from the likes of Kyle Martin and new recruits Ben Giobbi and Mitch Gent. The Bulls stormed ahead with a seven-goal opening term, but the Dogs never died down and kept the match interesting throughout the day. The win puts Noble Park into third after the opening round before its first 2016 clash at the Bullring, taking on Knox from 2.10pm Saturday. In VAFA results, Masala struggled to match pace with North Brunswick in the Division 4 season opener. The Tigers could only muster 8.12 (60) to the Bulls’ 19.12 (126). There are promising signs for the boys from Turner Reserve though, as they outscored the visitors in the final term with a sixgoal-four term. James Logan booted two while Matthew Decarne, Furkan Erkal and Alex Adamopoulos were best afield. St John’s had a bye in Division 2 and will face Yarra Valley Old Boys in its season opener.
Dandenong goes one and one By JARROD POTTER
White Star Dandenong’s Conor Haher slides in against Pakenham United’s Liam Picture: JARROD POTTER McCafferty. 152666 Park United fell 0-2 to Old Scotch, but the lower grade sides shone. In an all-Dandy derby, Dandenong South was way too powerful for Lyndale United winning 5-0. The Thunder’s community affiliate was beyond unstoppable at it smashed its way to victory on the back of goals to Malik Sulemani (two), Billal Sulemani, Vendurim Mustafai and Ricardo Castro. Springvale City was too good for Keysborough SC, defeating the hosts 2-1. Arnel Zahirovic and Armin Kerla booted Springvale City clear, despite the best efforts of Keysborough’s Alexander Tang to keep the scores level. Rounding out State League 4 South, Endeav-
our Hills Fire continued its extrodinary time on pitch in 2016 after defeating Bayside Argonauts 4-0. The FFA Cup qualifiers have been kind to the Fire and so has the regular league as the Power Reserve lads smashed in goals via a brace from the captain David Schulberg and singles to Bujar Thaqi and Mathew Durand. Harrisfield fell to East Brighton in a 3-4 shootout while Noble Park SC and Hampton Park rounded out the victors in State 4 with wins over Endeavour United, and Skye United respectively. Pakenham United and White Star Dandenong split the points 3-3 - with Gyzegorz Niemczyk, Abu Seidu and James Rasool scoring for the visitors against the State League 5 South debutants.
SEABL - ROUND 2 IT’S tough to lose on home-court; it’s agony to lose there by just one point. The Dandenong men’s team was left to lick its wounds after a nail-biting 76-77 SEABL loss to Brisbane on Saturday night. Spartans duo Isaih Tueta (25 points) and CJ Bruton (19 points) created nothing but headaches for the Rangers, but the hosts stayed strong despite Brisbane rushing to the front by the final change. With eight seconds left, the Rangers had squeezed the margin back to one but Darren Perry’s charges couldn’t rouse the victory as Brisbane’s defence held strong in the dying moments. Lucas Walker (29 points) was exceptional in his return to the roster while Andrew Harms (10 points) and Chuck Long (nine points) were serviceable for the Rangers. The Rangers’ women on the other hand had no troubles dispatching the Spartans 85-77 in the first match of the double-header. Dandenong’s powerhouse talls Chloe Bibby (27 points, eight rebounds) and a monster double-double from Lauren Scherf (24 points, 19 rebounds) dominated both ends of the floor to combine for 51 points. Clare Papavs (15 points, seven rebounds, six assists) got it done at both ends of the court as well to send signals through the league that the Rangers are still solid even with their big list of off-season departures. There was plenty more to celebrate as Aimie Clydesdale (four points, six assists) notched her 100th SEABL game. Dandenong hosts Kilsyth on Saturday night at Dandenong Basketball Stadium. Keysborough’s senior men and women faced Geelong Supercats and Altona respectively on Sunday afternoon after the Journal went to print. The Cougars’ ladies battle Mornington on Sunday afternoon next week while the Men travel to Melton on Sunday as well.

By JARROD POTTER TRADING Noble Park for New Zealand, junior slugger Mohi Kahui will take the field at the upcoming IBAF 15U World Baseball Championships. Earning his inaugural Diamondblacks jersey, Kahui, 14, from Noble Park was one of 20 players selected in the final under-15 side for the championships, held in Japan this August. Kahui admitted it was pretty exciting to get his chance to play for his homeland and show what he’s capable of in the black and silver strip. “Going to be playing for New Zealand and we’re going to Fukushima,” Kahui said. “Had to go to New Zealand and try out for the team - it wasn’t too bad. “It was a bit different - most of the boys that were at the trials had played softball instead of baseball and didn’t know how to play properly, so I tried to help them out as well.” As a bit of a baseball all-rounder, Kahui loves to rattle off the fast balls but is just as happy fielding at second base or short-stop. To improve his batting Kahui has undertaken a rigorous practice schedule - striking 200 pitches a day to ensure he would be up to standard at the championships.
His Diamondblacks will take on the likes of Australia, America, Mexico and Japan among others at the championships and, regardless of the result, Kahui is just out to have fun. “It’s pretty cool as I’m the first Kahui to make it into a New Zealand team,” Kahui said. “I want to have a great time - doesn’t matter if we lose because it’s still good that we got to go up there and tried our best.” It caps off a strong summer on the diamond for Kahui after he made the Victorian under-16 White team for the Baseball Australia National Youth Championships in January and was impressed with his side’s performance to surprise many other teams. “The white team is the development team and we went up there and came fourth,” Kahui said. “No one expected us to come fourth, I think they expected us to come last. “My pitching and outfield was good great plays in the outfield ... and I took six catches in one game.” He’s on the hunt for sponsorship to help him get across to the championships, so if anyone is interested in getting behind Kahui, he can be contacted by email at AusNZBaseballU15@hotmail.com.
Mohi Kahui is ready to slug a few homers for New Zealand after he was selected in the under-15 world Picture: JARROD POTTER championships team. 151837

LEADING the Dolphins into the 2016 VFL season isn’t something newly announced captain Jason Pongracic will take lightly. Pongracic, 21, from Cranbourne, has been a mainstay at the Dolphins for the last three seasons and has been thrust into the top echelon of the club’s 2016 leadership group. The club’s internal ballot revealed a lot about what his team mates think of the former Dandenong Stingrays captain and their belief in his leadership capabilities. “Pretty stoked, obviously a massive honour to be given the captaincy,” Pongracic said. “The most important thing is what the team mates think and getting voted in and given the role by them is pretty special.” Taking the captaincy won’t change Pongracic’s actions though he wants to lead by example as usual and not let it get in the way of his on-field responsibilities. “I don’t think much will change - I won’t change because of being given the title,” Pongracic said. “Go about things the same way I have before - lead the way in how I act. “I don’t expect anyone to do what I wouldn’t do.”
Newly announced Frankston skipper Jason Pongracic is ready to Picture: JARROD POTTER lead this VFL season. 141966 What he does best - the inside roving work - hasn’t been easy at Frankston Park during Pongracic’s VFL time, but he believes the side is trending upwards this time around especially with a list of high-calibre inclusions. “I’m not too sure how we’ll go, but I’m pretty excited about what we can do this year,” Pongracic said. “We’re coming from a fair way back last year, after not winning a game, but I think we’ll be more competi-
tive and pinch a few games along the way. “We’ve got a good mix of young guys who have a bit of experience and we’ve added in a couple of important players into the side. “Really excited about what we can achieve and keen to get the season underway and change the perception of Frankston.” The Dolphins inclusions for season 2016 are led by Andrew Mc-
Innes, from Devon Meadows by ways of Carlton and Norwood in the SANFL, as well as Josh Bennett and ruckman Michael Sikora. Add to that debuting VFL prospects from the Stingrays - Pearcedale’s Harry Prior and Daniel Capiron - and Pongracic thinks the side is on the right path for 2016 and beyond. Just as important as the ins are usually the outs at Frankston ... but this time around there hasn’t been an exodus. The Dolphins list from 2015 is full of inclusions and lacks the usual loss of players that has dogged the side in recent campaigns. “We had a massive turnover at the start of last season when Goose (Simon Goosey) left and Patty Hill came in - but last year to this year we’ve only lost two or three,” Pongracic said. “We lost our captain Shane Hockey to the WAFL and Josh Tynan off to Port and apart from that we’ve kept the top 30-40 together and kept the senior group together.” Frankston’s season begins on Saturday night at Casey Fields when they battle local rivals Casey Scorpions from 7pm.
