Diwali takes shine to north An Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil comes to Mernda for its second year next month. The Diwali festival of lights is a five-day celebration observed by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains around the world. Mernda and Doreen Multicultural Association president Tom Joseph decided to bring the festival to Melbourne’s north last year, acknowledging the region’s growing Indian population. Whittlesea council records show the three most common countries of birth, other than Australia, are Italy, India and Macedonia. “The festival of lights is an opportunity for members of the Indian community in Whittlesea to celebrate our culture with the rest of the community,” Mr Joseph said. He’s expecting more than 10,000 people to join in at Buttercross Park on October 24. Festivities will begin at 11.30am and continue until 9pm after a colourful display of fireworks. There will be classes in Indian classical dancing and Bollywood styles, belly dancing, fire dancing and Indian drumming, as well as rides, live music and market stalls.

Market trucks hit by ban By Lexi Cottee A night-time ban on trucks using roads in Melbourne’s north-east is causing major delays and cost blowouts for fruit growers and freight companies heading to Epping’s wholesale market. On August 20, nine north-south arterial roads that connect the northern suburbs to the Eastern Freeway – often dubbed the “missing link” of the M80 – were banned to trucks between 10pm and 6am in response to a petition signed by about 600 people. The 12-month truck curfew was an election promise made by Labor MP Anthony Carbines, who now represents the seat of Ivanhoe. He

pledged to appease increasingly vocal residents fed up with truck traffic noise on main roads in the electorate. The popular routes through the north-east were among the few options left to truck drivers making the daily commute between the new market at Epping and the south-eastern suburbs. Victorian Vegetable Growers Association president David Wallace said growers from the south-east were having to detour via the city, adding another hour to their daily trips. “I know of others who wait until the clock strikes 6am to use the roads [in Rosanna and Watsonia],” he said. Luis Gazzola, a Somerville-based vegetable

grower and member of the Vegetable Growers Association advisory board, said the curfew, being phased in over the next few months, was affecting “a lot of people.” “What we need is the eastern Ring Road built; that’s the most important thing,” he said. “It should have been built 10 years ago.” The truck curfew began on Waterdale, Waiora and Rosanna roads, at the western tip of Lower Plenty Road and on the Greensborough Highway last month, and will be extended by November to the rest of Lower Plenty, Ryans, St Helena, Main and Para roads. Mr Gazzola said trucks would be forced onto smaller residential roads when the entire curfew was rolled out.

A long-standing Yarra Valley-based vegetable grower, who did not want to be named, said he was outraged by the truck ban, describing it as “a nightmare”. “It means anyone who would use the Eastern Freeway needs to get onto the Chandler Highway or go all the way [into the city] and use the Tullamarine Freeway,” he said. Sandra Lorenzetto, of Paul Phillips Transport, said the Cranbourne-based company had been forced to increase its delivery charges “by a fair bit” for trips between the south-east and the Epping market, while shadow roads minister Ryan Smith said, “This would not have been an issue if the government had built the East West Link.”

Big does best in booming north By Lexi Cottee

Large homes on big blocks are smashing auction records in Melbourne’s outer north. Each of the three most expensive houses sold in both Hume and Whittlesea in the past year had more than four bedrooms and were on allotments of at least 1100 square metres. Real Estate Institute of Victoria chief executive Enzo Raimondo said well-built, luxurious homes in the outer north were bucking trends for what is considered one of Melbourne’s most affordable property markets.

“While Hume and Whittlesea contain some of Melbourne’s most affordable suburbs, highquality homes on larger blocks are attracting prices well above the median for the suburbs in these areas,” Mr Raimondo said. The top sale in Whittlesea in the past 12 months to mid-September was a six-bedroom house in Manna Way, Mill Park, which sold for $1.36 million in February. Ray White Mill Park’s John Damaskopoulos said the property sold for about $260,000 above the reserve and was bought by a family with older children.

“It’s unique for the area; it’s a very glamorous house,” he said. “It kicked off the market in this area and broke the house price record in Mill Park.” In Whittlesea, the second and third most expensive homes sold were a six-bedroom house at 48 Cameron Way, Bundoora,

NEWS

which went for $1.125 million in June, and a five-bedroom house on Yea Road, Humevale, which sold for $1.1 million in April. A four-bedroom house that sold for $1.4 million in March holds the record this year for the most expensive sale in Hume. The house, at 12 Cameron Court, sits on about 1330 square metres and was sold at auction for more than $125,000 above the reserve. Mr Raimondo said houses in the outer suburbs were usually sold privately, but auctions were gaining popularity due to an increasing demand for larger homes.

Prisons fail on rehabilitation: Ombudsman

Whittlesea council commissioned artist Bern Emmerichs to create a mural in the redeveloped Peter Lalor walkway. (Shawn Smits)

Mural tells epic stories, old and new Bern Emmerichs has spent a lot of time in Lalor this year. The Collingwood-based artist was commissioned by Whittlesea council to chronicle Lalor’s history in a tiled, four-panel mural – from the Wurundjeri-willam clan through to the 21st century – and she has since absorbed the suburb’s particularities, met its biggest characters and watched its residents peacefully coexist, despite almost 65 per cent of them speaking a language other than English at home. When Star Weekly visited her studio, Emmerichs was adding final touches to the fourth and final panel, depicting the period

between the late 1940s – when a group of ex-servicemen established the Peter Lalor Building Co-operative to build low-cost housing for their families on previous farmland – and today. The first panel focuses on the land’s traditional owners, the Wurundjeri-willam clan, and the white settlers. The second tells the story of the Eureka Stockade and references the suburb’s namesake, Peter Lalor, who led the rebellion and was later a member of the Victorian parliament. In the third panel, Lalor’s first European settlers, a clutch of German families and their beautiful farmhouses, Lutheran church and

cemetery, are drawn alongside dry stone walls and 19th century farm equipment. Some of the most interesting characters include a dog with a pizza box in its mouth. “I was told this dog gets sent down to the shops by its owner to pick up their takeaway pizza,” Emmerichs said. Two of the panels have been installed and the final two should be up before year’s end. Each panel represents about 250 hours’ painting on handmade tiles from Spain. Emmerichs also created the huge tapestry hanging in the Northern Hospital’s atrium. Lexi Cottee

A new report from the Victorian Ombudsman has slammed the state’s system of correctional justice for not doing enough to rehabilitate repeat offenders and cut prisoner numbers. Ombudsman Deborah Glass investigated the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners in Victoria and found that, between 2007 and 2014, a quarter of prisoners came from just 13 postcodes and, “even more alarmingly,” 50 per cent came from just six per cent of Victorian postcodes, one of which is Broadmeadows. Ms Glass’s investigation was promoted by a surge in prisoner numbers, concerns about the rates of reoffending, and spiralling costs to the Victorian community. “Victoria’s prison doors are rotating faster than at any time in recent history,” Ms Glass said. Between 2012 and 2014, the state’s prison population grew by 25 per cent, while since 2011 the budget for correctional services has risen by 31 per cent, to $1.04 billion. The links between disadvantage and imprisonment are also clear. HomeGround Service’s deputy chief executive Heather Holst said people without stable housing were at far greater risk of returning to prison. HomeGround offers a ‘justice housing support program’ to give people leaving the justice system access to affordable long-term housing. “We need to support families, ensuring children have access to school, as well as employment services and long-term housing,” Ms Holst said.

Two golfers have scored the ever-elusive hole-in-one this year at Whittlesea Golf Club in Humevale. Baden Bolingas, 21, and John Simmonds, 59, both won trophies for their aces on the eighth hole, a par three, a month apart. While Mr Bolingas has a long golfing career ahead of him, Mr Simmonds (pictured) was thrilled he’d finally filled his scorecard with a ‘1’ after playing the game for 46 years. “I never thought I’d hit a hole-in-one, so when I saw where the ball had landed I was elated. I knew I had hit a good shot but didn’t dare to dream of my first ace,” he said. Since records at the 78-year-old club began in 1965, there have been 164 holes-in-one, with at least one every year since 1979. Whittlesea Golf Club’s Kim Johnson said July was the second-most-productive month “for achieving those elusive holes-in-one”, with 19 in the past 50 years. Lexi Cottee

Hume prime victim of car theft By Lexi Cottee Two cars are stolen every day in Hume, on average. Latest data from the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVRC) shows more cars were stolen in Hume than anywhere else in the state in the 2014-15 financial year. Almost 770 cars were stolen in Hume in the 12 months to June 30. Brimbank was a close second, with 672 cars stolen, Greater Geelong third (649), Whittlesea fourth (560) and Moreland fifth (558).

Police are particularly urging owners of Nissan Pulsars manufactured in 2000 to keep their cars in a garage or parked in a safe spot. NMVRC’s figures reveal that this particular make and model was the most popular car targeted by thieves. In Hume and Whittlesea alone, as many as 86 were stolen in 2014-15. Holden Commodores, Nissan Patrols, Nissan Skylines, Toyota Corollas and Hyundai i20s were also popular vehicles of choice for thieves. Hume experienced a 7.4 per cent increase

in cars stolen in 2014-15 compared with the previous 12 months. In Whittlesea, the statistic dropped by almost six per cent, from 594 stolen cars in 2013-14 to 560 in 2014-15. Three out of every four cars stolen in Hume and Whittlesea are later dumped, and the cars recovered. The rest are stolen for profit. Hume police’s Acting Inspector Shane Kerley said most cars were stolen for the daredevilry of it or to gain an alternative, albeit risky, form of transport. “More or less for the thrill [of it] or to get

transport to another location,” he said. “I don’t think boredom is one of the reasons; sometimes it’s just convenience.” The Hume Criminal Investigation Unit has a specialist vehicle crime reduction unit at Broadmeadows, a team dedicated to tackling car and number plate thefts, and thefts of personal belongings from cars. Crime Statistics Agency data shows more than 80 per cent of offenders who stole a car last year were male (83 per cent) and more than half were between the ages of 15 and 24, with most of those aged 15 to 19.

Girls stay in for cancer Lydia Petrie was just 21 when she was diagnosed with a rare cancer on her ovaries. The Epping woman was told she had immature ovarian teratoma, a type of germ cell tumor that originates in women’s egg cells. Six years later, Ms Petrie has undergone five surgeries and is scheduled for another next year. Despite having had the cancerous cells in her body removed, the 27-year-old has numerous benign tumors and must have check-ups every six months. “I feel like the journey is still going,” she said. “It affects my day-to-day life. I experience pain and discomfort a lot, and I have my ups and downs. Today it was all right, but maybe it will flair up next week.” Next month, Ms Petrie will host her fifth ‘Girls Night in for Cancer’, a Cancer Council initiative designed to encourage women to celebrate their friendships and raise money

for cancer research. “My cancer isn’t that well known, so I hope that some research from the event is going towards it,” Ms Petrie said. Cancer Council Victoria is encouraging women to get together for a ‘night in’ to support local women diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancers. This year, about 3700 events will take place around the state. Some are sleepovers, others movie nights or ‘pamper parties’. Cancer Council spokeswoman Barbara Charan said that while the number of women diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancers continues to grow, five-year survival rates for breast cancer have increased to 90 per cent from 73 per cent 20 years ago, thanks to investment in research, prevention and support.

Blind, but vision’s clear Terry Carlson grew up in a raucous house full of children, one of nine siblings all of whom enjoyed a bit of rough and tumble and old-fashioned fun. It was no different one particular Sunday, when Terry, then five, was playing with his mate Trevor from next door. His father was setting the table for Sunday lunch. “If you don’t stop mucking around, you’ll bring this table down,” his father bellowed. Terry had pinned Trevor to the ground and the pair tumbled in a tangle of flying limbs. “I grabbed the table cloth,” Terry recalled. “And down came the meat fork and it fell into my face.” The fork prongs landed in Terry’s left eye, and he was pronounced legally blind in that eye shortly afterwards. His parents decided the best course of action would be to get him out of Tasmania, where they were living, and off to a specialist school for the blind in Melbourne. At age 11, Terry boarded an aircraft and found himself at St Paul’s School for the Blind and Vision Impaired at Kew. “My independence from then on really blossomed,” Terry says. Despite the obvious obstacles, a young Terry began to play AFL for the St Kilda reserves before losing his sight completely at 16 when a football was kicked into his right eye. It was then that he started running competitively. The self-described “sports fanatic” began with marathons and went on to break the world record for a blind runner for the distances of 75, 220, 300 and 440 yards at professional athletics meetings. In 1971, aged 22, Terry married his sweetheart, Anne Campbell, who was 26 at the time and also blind. The Melbourne University arts graduate was an assistant librarian at

About 1000 people packed St Luke’s Catholic Church at Lalor to commemorate the life and death of Italian saint Padre Pio at the weekend. The suburb’s large Italian c o m m u n i t y BIAGIO PATTI gathered first for a mass and then followed a huge golden statue of the saint around St Luke’s Primary School’s grounds. It was the fourth time La Festa di San Padre Pio has been held in Lalor. The festival began when Bundoora couple Biagio and Carmela Patti commissioned a statue of the saint from an artist in Padre Pio’s home town of San Giovanni Rotondo in southern Italy. The couple shipped the statue back in 2000 and gifted it to St Luke’s Church, where it now has pride of place in a shrine off the main nave. The Patti family moved from Sicily to Bundoora in 1959 “for a better life”. Mr Patti is a Lalor-based shoemaker. Parish priest Luigi Sabbadin said the festival provided an important connection to their homeland for people who migrated here after WWII. “This saint … tells you these people are connected to their faith and where they were born.” Lexi Cottee

Planet on the syllabus As a child, Ryan Shaw would sit on the veranda of his parents’ family home in the Yarra Valley and, using a field guide to Australian birds as a reference, would note down every bird he saw. Bird lovers like Mr Shaw (pictured) are often called ‘twitchers’ in the United Kingdom, but at primary school he was simply called Bird Boy. Now a Mill Park Secondary College teacher, he says he has always loved animals and his pathway to teaching came about while studying a bachelor of science, majoring in zoology, at the University of Melbourne. He then completed a masters in environmental science. It was while researching effects of climate change and population growth on the environment that he realised scientists couldn’t slow the effects of global warming as effectively as teachers.

“I realised that the overarching things impacting the environment were humans.” On a friend’s recommendation, Mr Shaw enrolled in Teach for Australia, a two-year program for academics that had him teaching in disadvantaged schools while undertaking teacher training at Deakin University. He now works at the college’s Epping senior campus, teaching science, environmental science and outdoor education. The 26-year-old has introduced ‘mindful meditation’ into most middle-school years and started yoga and tea ceremony groups at the senior campus. And he challenges students to think critically, beyond the syllabus. His contribution will be marked at next Monday’s World Teachers’ Day. Lexi Cottee

“Awareness, understanding and acceptance of dementia is so important, but we want to take it a step further and put this understanding into practice,” Mr Warner said. “We assist businesses with changing their systems in regard to communication, lighting, signage and environment – all of which can have a huge impact.” The program offers free 30-minute training workshops with Home Instead Senior Care educators, who teach employees and employers how to safeguard a dementiafriendly environment. Sessions cover how to identify someone with dementia and how to communicate and support them. Eleanor Tabone

SPORT Walker takes the award By Tara Murray Roxburgh Park’s Matt Walker hoped his teammates had done enough in the final round of the Essendon District Football League season to ensure he would win the division 2 best-and-fairest award. Walker led the medal count by one vote going into the final round but missed the round against Jacana because of injury. The only player who could beat him was Jacana’s Beau Naim. But with the Magpies shutting down Naim and winning by 80 points, Walker won his first division 2 B&F. He finished on 24 votes, one clear of 2013 winner Naim. Jaguars’ Michael Evans was third on 17. “I was pretty surprised,” Walker said after winning the award. “I missed the last two games so wasn’t sure I

was going to hang on. We won by 80 points in the final round and I was hoping my teammates would get the votes.” Walker’s victory came even though the 17-year-old was still eligible to play in the under-18.5 competition this year. “No way did I think I’d win it at this age,” he said. “I didn’t even think I’d be playing seniors at this age. “I was in under-16s [in 2013] and was playing decent footy and had done a preseason with the seniors. The coach saw what he liked and gave me a few games during the year. I played all of last year in the seniors and continued this year.” Walker, who finished fifth in the goalkicking with 49, said there was a big adjustment going from juniors to seniors. “Physically, it’s a lot different, a lot quicker than juniors,” he said. “I got used to it pretty quickly, but [dealing with] the bigger bodies is

hard sometimes. I play half-forward and on the wing, but mostly half-forward. “I definitely want to go into the middle. I want to put on a bit of size and make the move to the middle.” While Walker has tasted individual success, he’s hoping to have team success next year. The Magpies were knocked out in the preliminary final this year and lost the grand final last year. “Hopefully, have a bit more experience under our belt and go further next year,” he said. Walker was also named in the division 2 team of the year as were Roxburgh Park teammates Jayden Walker and Ricky McGill. Jacana’s Dylan Wolfgramm, Paul Cluney, Michael Evans, Chris Johnson, Bryce Kimulitas and Naim were also named in the team.

Lynch best of the best in premiers’ vote Aberfeldie’s Mark Lynch joins some of the greats in the Essendon District Football League after winning his second Dick Reynolds Medal on Saturday night. Lynch won the EDFL premier division best and fairest award with 17 votes, two clear of Pascoe Vale’s Ben Ross and Gorillas’ teammate Josh Cubillo on 15. Lynch hit the front of the count in the second-last round with three votes, to sit two votes clear of Ross and three clear of Cubillo and Greenvale’s Addam Maric going into the final round. With Ross having missed that round due to injury, Lynch was guaranteed to at least tie for the medal. Cubillo polled one vote in the final round to join Ross on 15 votes, while Lynch and Maric failed to poll. Lynch previously won the medal in 2012 while with Essendon Doutta Stars. He almost had a Northern Football League Frank Rosbrook Trophy to his name from his time at Heidelberg. After originally being named joint winner of the 2013 division 1 best and fairest trophy with Cameron Cloke, the league stripped Lynch of the medal five months later due to an “administrative error”. Maric, in his first year back at his junior club after time in the AFL and VFL, finished third in the Reynolds Medal and was also named in the premier division team of the year. Jets teammates Nick Lower (who finished fourth in the medal count), Daniel Campisano and Matthew Smith were also named in the team of the year. In division 1, Doutta Stars’ captain, Shylo Smith, capped off a perfect season with the Bill Hutchison Medal. Smith, who was best on ground in his side’s premiership win, was the runaway winner with 22 votes. He was nine votes clear after 14 rounds and, despite not polling in the last four rounds, won by six votes. Rhys Bloomfield finished second on 17 votes, while Craigieburn duo Brent Gordon and Cameron Cloke were third on 14. Westmeadows’ Tamer Abdallah finished fourth on 13 votes. Gordon and Cloke were two of the Eagles’ five players named in the division 1 team of the year. Josh Young, Jason Cloke and David Courouzou were the others so named. Westmeadows’ Daniel Willcocks, Bilal Allouch, Abdallah and Robbie Mullen, and Tullamarine’s Jack Burns and Justin Marcy also made division 1’s team of the year.

In other awards, Jacana’s Aaron Austin was named rising star of the competition; Roxburgh Park’s Robert Nedelkovski won the division 2 reserves best and fairest; Westmeadows’ Clayton Campbell was runner-up in the

division 1 under-18.5 best and fairest award; and Greenvale’s Chris Kent was runner-up in the premier reserves’ best and fairest. Tara Murray

Renewed Falcons ready for take-off Roxburgh Park is buoyantly confident of having a successful season in the Victorian Sub-district Cricket Association. After making the north-west grand final last season, the Falcons are looking to go one further this time in north-east division. Falcons’ president, Ben Wood, says it’s been a positive pre-season ahead of Friday’s opener. “We’ve picked up half a dozen players from first or second elevens,” Wood said. “One or two of them were most impressive in a practice match; they showed more than I’d expected. Those players are now pushing for first 11 spots when I thought they may have been seconds players.” The loss of last season’s captaincoach, Mitch Johnstone, is the only major exclusion from last season’s team. Vanuatu internationals Simpson Obed and Patrick Matautaava return to the club, while Englishman Lloyd Lambert has been recruited and will have a major role in junior development. Despite talks with a former Australian Test player to come on board for some games, they have failed to come to fruition. “We’re looking at building things at Lakeside for the longer term,” Wood said. “A lot of people don’t get that, but you have to look at how you want things to look in five years’ time. “We want to develop home-grown talent and put that investment in youth, which is why we’ve brought out Hannah Courtnell and Lloyd. “We’ve teamed up with TNF cricket [run by Plenty Valley coach Michael Sheedy] to send two boys to India on fully funded scholarships.” Wood said the transition from former coach Johnstone to Adam Yates had been an easy one. “The relationship between the coach and the playing group has changed,” he said. “There’s been a shift in how Adam operates from how Mitch operated. “Mitch is an elite coach, who is the best coach in ‘subbies’, with strong career aspirations. “Adam has a different slant on things. His view is about the whole club, and that some cricketers aren’t there to better themselves but just have fun.” Roxburgh Park will field six senior sides on turf this season, including a second Sunday social side. One of the Sunday teams will be coached by former Victorian Premier cricketer Jody Hutchison. “It’s great for Jody to come back to the club,” Wood said. “We’re catering for everyone. “Former Premier cricketer and subbies star Heath Pritchard, former Hatch medal winner Eric Ruuska and Falcons club life member David Lawson are all part of Jody’s team. “This team, at its best, would rival any sub-district team.” Tara Murray 13 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 29, 2015

Rivergum sticks to title formula By Tara Murray When you’re on a good thing, stick to it . . . Rivergum will use the same model this season which has won the last two premierships in the North Metro Cricket Association’s Jika Shield. While many clubs have already been in the nets for a couple of months, Rivergum captain-coach Gary Bell said he his side was only just stepping up the training. “It has been pretty quiet and we haven’t done too much training,” Bell said. “Quite a few have still been playing footy, so we look to have an extended break. “As we won the grand final we played deep into March and we don’t want to burn out our players. “It’s my 10th year as captain-coach so I have a good grasp of what works for the team.” Bell said that with football over it would be full steam ahead from now on. “I spoke to the group last night and told them we had to start training harder now,” he said on Wednesday. “I hope it will help us stay fresh for the season and to be there at the business end of the season.” Scott Morley is the only player of last season’s premiership side not returning. Matthew Kiely, a former Rivergum junior, returns to the club after playing thirds and fourths in Premier Cricket. Bell expects the top-order batsman to help the club with training standards. “We still have a bit of youth at the club and

had all our sides play finals last season,” he said. “It will be a similar group and I’m expecting improvements to come from within. “We have a few players away early in the season and some players will get more opportunities.” He highlighted Kasey May and David Young as two players to watch this season. “Kasey batted at number eight last season and at times will be given the opportunity to bat higher this year,” he said. “I hope he can take the chance at the top of the order. “Daniel is only 22 but it feels as if he’s one of the senior players he has been around for so long. “He can keep improving and become the best bowler in the competition.” Despite coming off two successive premierships, Bell said the motivation for a third was still there. “When you win you might think you are satisfied with that one, but once you get a taste you want to stay on top,” he said. “It’s satisfying if you get the result. You can’t get complacent if you want to win three in a row.” Rivergum starts its season against Keon Park on October 10.

It’s finals: for Hume, the rewards mount Hume City players are making the most of their finals opportunities to put their presence on a national stage in the FFA Cup. As City graduated to the final four of the Australia-wide tournament on Tuesday night, beating Oakleigh Cannons 3-2, its players again won the attention of other clubs. City coach Louie Acevski said he thought several players in his squad could play A-league or at a higher level overseas next season. Goalkeeper Chris Oldfield’s hot form with the gloves has already put him in a trial game with Central Coast Mariners against Melbourne Victory in the past month. “They called the club and asked for permission to play him against Victory,” Acevski said. “It’s only a matter of time before we lose him to a

bigger team. Once his permanent residency comes through early next year, I think more clubs will speak to him.” Acevski said he didn’t think Theo Markelis would be far behind Oldfield. Markelis, who scored two goals in City’s win against Oakleigh Cannons, joined Hume City midway through the season from Greek-side Veria. The midfielder has previously played with Melbourne Victory. “He’s been exceptional, with 13 goals in all forms in half a season,” Acevski said. “I wish we’d had him at the start of the season. “He’s one of the main reasons we are through this far in the FFA Cup. “He deserves the opportunity to have another

go at the higher level.” Acevski said skipper Nick Hegarty leads the list of other players who could also be asked to step up, given their performances recently and throughout the season. “Our captain, Nick, was unbelievable and played a typical captain’s game on Tuesday night,” the coach said. “He could quite easily step up. “Marcus Schroen and Jai Ingram are two others who could easily make the switch, too.” Tara Murray Theo Markelis is on the radar of A-League clubs.

City wants Victory clash By Tara Murray Hume City is through to the semi-finals of the Australia-wide FFA Cup, where they would love to play A-League champion Melbourne Victory. But City had to work hard to get to the final four, with a goal in the last two minutes of extra time sealing the 3-2 win over Oakleigh Cannons in Tuesday night’s quarter-final at ABD Stadium. It was the second time in three cup matches that Hume had scored the winning goal in the dying minutes of extra time. City coach Louie Acevski said making the semi-finals of the event entered by 648 clubs was beyond expectations. “It’s a great feeling and the boys are reaping the rewards for their hard work,” he said. “We’re becoming specialists in heart-inthe-mouth moments. “It’s not necessarily good for us, but it’s good for the crowds watching. “The boys have a never-say-die attitude and

believe they’re good enough to come back from anywhere.” The Cannons scored first through Sean Rooney after only three minutes. Theo Markelis hit back for City in the 17th minute, before Oakleigh scored again through Dean Piemonte after 34. Acevski said he didn’t change anything at half-time; he just backed his boys to do the job. “I told them to believe they can do it,” he said. “It wasn’t about tactical decisions or sticking to the game plan, it was about wanting it more.” City responded and equalised again through Markelis in the 84th minute, before Marcus Schroen scored the winner in the 118th. “We created a number opportunities to kill off the game but didn’t convert,” Acevski said. “We were comfortably the better side. “It’s always a lottery with penalty shoot-outs and we were hoping to get a goal in extra time. “Hags [Nick Hegarty] got a shot off; the keeper fumbled and Marcus was on hand to put the ball into the net.” City will find out its semi-final opponent

after the completion of quarter-finals this week. Melbourne Victory is also through to the final four and will be joined by the winners of Heidelberg United v. Melbourne City and Perth Glory against Asian champions Western Sydney Wanderers. “It’s a great opportunity for our players,” Acevski said. “I think the rule is that if an NPL side plays an A-League side, the NPL club will be at home. That will be another bonus for us. “I’ve said from the start that if we could play Melbourne Victory, the A-League champions, that would be phenomenal.” Acevski paid tribute to the club’s supporters who have turned out in force for the past three cup matches, including 1500 of them against the Cannons. “For us, ‘amazing’ is an understatement to describe them,” he said. “We normally have 100 to 150 people at an NPL game. “The crowds are an inspiration with their really loud cheering and singing. It definitely helps the boys.”

Winning a premiership was Jacana’s first milestone. Now the club needs to ensure it continues to build at a new, higher level. After ending a 42-year premiership drought last year, Jacana will play this season in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s North A1 grade under the eye of new coach Brett Jensen, who replaces Praneeth Jayasundera. “I’ve pretty much played most of my life at Jacana, though I had short stints at Torquay and Keilor,” Jensen said last week. “I’ve always had the passion to coach and I want to help kids with ability to realise their potential.” Jensen, who is also an opening batsman, was 12th man in the Jaguars’ premiership win. He said changing the way training was run was the first thing he’d done. “Footy has held a few people back, which is not an ideal start to the pre-season. I wanted just a little more purpose and structure at training “It’s a bit of a culture change. Getting people to commit hasn’t been our strength. “With senior training, it’s about coming to training for some purpose, and to learn.” It will be a different playing group for the Jaguars after the departure of some key players. Premiership captain Shannon Bennett and Casey Whelan have retired, while Jensen says it’s likely Telge Peiris will play elsewhere. But a massive bonus has been the news that Jayasundera will return to play this season. Jayasundera won the North B1 best and fairest award last year, and only arrived back from Sri Lanka last week. “We’ve lost a few to retirement, but we’ve got a few others who are keen to come back to the club,” Jensen said. “Hopefully, we’ve been able to replace the talent we’ve lost. We spoke with a number of different players and hope to have a few younger guys step up and play big roles this season.” Ashley Bradford is returning, while Lachlan Bradford, who played in the premiership, looks set for a full season after playing only the last six games last season. Another former player, Rhys Brown, will also return after several years’ absence. Jensen says the goal is to be competitive in the higher grade. “The first goal was to make sure we set a good culture. We want to be competitive in this division and go from there.” Jacana starts its season on October 10 against Avondale Heights. Tara Murray 15 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 29, 2015
