Up where he belongs Skaters, scooters and BMX bikers will descend on Epping Skate Escape park at Meadow Glen Reserve for round five of the north-western series skate competition this Saturday. The series started last month in Wallan with events hosted every Saturday at skate parks across the region. Temperatures won’t be the only thing tipped to soar as competitors impress the judges with their best tricks in a bid to qualify for the regional finals at Kinglake Skate Park in November. Competitors face off in open men’s and women’s, under 12, 14 and 16-year-old divisions. More details: www.skatepark.ymca.org.au JACOB DE-LEO, 16

Cannabis lifeline a relief By Alexandra Laskie A Mernda family has expressed joy and relief that medicinal cannabis will be grown and sold in Victoria within the next two years. Cassie Batten and Rhett Wallace’s four-year-old son, Cooper, has severe brain damage, cerebral abscesses, hydrocephalus, epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and he suffers from daily seizures unless administered with cannabis oil. Ms Batten says she is overjoyed that the state government will legalise access to locally manufactured medicinal cannabis for “exceptional circumstances” as early as 2017.
The Victorian Law Reform Commission’s report on medicinal cannabis, tabled in Parliament last Tuesday, contains 42 recommendations that address eligibility criteria, the role of doctors, the regulation of manufacture and distribution, and the forms of medicinal cannabis that should be permitted. Premier Daniel Andrews announced the state government would fully accept 40 of the commission’s recommendations, and two in principle. Ms Batten, Mr Wallace, and one other non-government, non-medical professional were consulted by the commission in compiling its report.

Ms Batten said the state government’s announcement was a light at the end of the tunnel. “You can’t change laws overnight and we understand that.” She said the report was in line with their expectations, and she and Mr Wallace were supportive of the commission’s recommendation to have medicinal cannabis made available in the same way as prescription medication, as opposed to a “grow-your-own” scheme. Among the recommendations are for treatment to be limited to only the most gravely ill sufferers of epilepsy; those suffering severe pain arising from cancer, HIV or AIDS, severe
muscle spasms or pain due to multiple sclerosis; and for treatment to go only to people who live in Victoria. Specialist medical practitioners would determine whether a person was eligible for the treatment. In the meantime, Ms Batten said her family had no choice but to procure cannabis oil illegally. “Everyone knows we’re breaking the law, but some chose to turn a blind eye.” The state government says it will introduce legislation reflecting the commission’s recommendations before the end of the year.

Custody officers to free-up cops By Alexandra Laskie
‘‘
It’s a good thing for the local area and for quicker - Paul Tysoe processing …
’’
“It’s a good thing for the local area and allows for quicker processing of offenders.” Before taking over as Whittlesea inspector in May, Inspector Tysoe was station commander at Heidelberg police station for seven years. “I think many commanders have been asking for police to be removed from the supervising of
(Esther Lauaki)
Twenty newly recruited custody officers will be stationed at each of Mill Park and Broadmeadows police stations over the next few years, freeing-up sworn police officers to return to the beat. Four hundred custody-officers-in-training are expected to be deployed to 22 of the busiest police stations across the state over the next three years. Their deployment would follow the passage of a bill introduced to State Parliament last Tuesday which would grant
increased powers to custody officers to manage prisoners in police cells, supervise offenders in police stations, guard offenders in hospital and transport people to and from court. Police Minister Wade Noonan said the Justice Legislation Bill 2015 would give Victoria’s new custody officers the powers they need to manage police cells so that sworn officers can get back into the community to tackle crime. Whittlesea’s Inspector Paul Tysoe said the new custody officers would facilitate the movement of members from custody duty to the front line.
Curras, cars fire up for research aid When the going gets tough, the car and bikeloving Curra family gets going. The family, from Reservoir, and 70 of their nearest and dearest will host their seventh charity car show on October 25 at Bundoora Park to raise money for diabetes and multiple sclerosis research. Together the group is dubbed Team Bella in honour of the Curras’ youngest daughter Isabella, 15 (pictured), who was diagnosed with type one juvenile diabetes five years ago. Her dad Tony Curra was diagnosed with a
progressive form of multiple sclerosis a year later. “Our aim is to raise as much money as it takes to help find a cure for diabetes and new drugs for managing multiple sclerosis,” mum Sophie Curra said. “It was Bella’s idea to raise funds for charity. We have a large family of car enthusiasts. The first shows started off small, but [the event] has grown over the years.” Team Bella has raised about $150,000 for the charities to date. Mrs Curra said a car and bike
show, held earlier this year, drew more than 10,000 visitors. “It’s not just a car and bike show, it’s a great day for the whole family,” she said. The Team Bella car and bike show will include amusement rides, kids’ pony rides, a children’s animal farm, show bags, food and trade stalls, live music, and trophies and raffle prizes up for grabs.

prisoners for some time and I supported that.” Acting Senior Sergeant Cameron Keily said the interviewing process for custody officers at Broadmeadows police station would begin in the next few weeks. He supported the state government’s initiative, saying it would give the station commander leeway to get more officers patrolling the streets. Custody officers would not take up duties at Mill Park until next year, when construction on the station’s holding cells is complete. The officers would be employed as public servants, not as police officers, and would not use Tasers or guns.
Drivers caught in footy blitz Assistant Police Commissioner Doug Fryer voiced his concern last week about the number of drivers tested for drugs or alcohol who returned a positive reading during an AFL grand final long weekend blitz. In Whittlesea, police detected six unregistered vehicles, four drink-drivers, two disqualified drivers, one unlicensed and one not wearing a seat belt. In Hume, police stopped six unregistered vehicles, two drink-drivers, one speeding driver, one disobeying a traffic control, and three on their mobile phone while driving. Mr Fryer said one in nine drivers, or 218 of the more than 1900 who were tested, was found to have traces of illegal drugs in their system. More than 121,000 drivers underwent preliminary breath tests and 286 recorded a blood-alcohol concentration over the legal limit. Mr Fryer said: “With grand final celebrations being held across the state we knew people would consume alcohol and unfortunately take illicit substances. “It’s extremely disappointing to see more than 500 impaired drivers on our roads,” Mr Fryer said. “Each one is lucky we caught them before they killed themselves or someone else.” During the long weekend, more than 2000 people in Victoria were caught speeding and 368 were stopped for using their mobile phone while driving. No booze or drug buses were set up in Hume or Whittlesea. Instead, local police set up their own random breathtesting sites. Alexandra Laskie

Human trafficking isn’t often the topic of polite conversation, but Craigieburn-based Salvation Army captain Peter Brockshaw, pictured, says the sheer scale of abuse and exploitation of women migrant workers in South East Asia is an alarming issue Australian men need to be aware of. The United Nations reports about 10 million people are victims of forced labour in the Asia Pacific region, and total illegal profits from the use of forced labour globally are about $160 billion a year. Mr Brockshaw and his wife and fellow captain, Jo, want to encourage men to “man-up” and talk about the issue. So they’ve decided to have the conversation over a 24-hour Ping-Pong-A-Thon at the Salvation Army’s base in Interlink Drive, Craigieburn. Two tables will be set up for 24-hours on October 23, from 6pm. Details: peter.brookshaw@aus.salvationarmy.org. Alexandra Laskie
Fawkner Embona Taskforce detectives are appealing for help after a 20-yearold man was robbed in Jacana last month. Acting Sergeant Anthoula Moutis said police had been told the man was walking home on Sunset Boulevard when three men on BMX bikes approached him about 9.30pm on Thursday, September 24. One of the men produced a knife, demanded his briefcase and took his mobile phone. All three offenders fled the scene and were last seen riding west along the boulevard.

Obesity: scourge of the north By Alexandra Laskie One in four Hume residents is obese. A new health snapshot for the north-western Melbourne region revealed the grim statistic, among a host of other health indicators that have Hume medical practitioners worried. Neil Cowen, chief executive of Broadmeadows-based not-for-profit health provider Dianella, said the figures did not come as a surprise but reinforced the magnitude of the health service provider’s workload. “There are no surprises because Dianella

’’
knows that people living in Hume have very poor health outcomes compared to the Melbourne average,” he said. “Obesity rates correlate to the social determinates of health, such as a person’s income or level of education.” The health snapshot was the first report
released by the federal government’s new North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (PHN), one of 31 that were set up to replace the now defunct Medicare Locals. The PHNs are designed to work with doctors and other health providers, like hospitals, to ensure better outcomes for patients. The City of Hume snapshot reveals that 26.1 per cent of women and 26.9 per cent of men are obese, compared to the state average of 17.2 and 17.4 per cent respectively. More than 19 per cent of residents smoke, and 21.8 per cent reported their health
status as fair or poor. The fact sheet gave the municipality’s rating for chronic disease prevalence, disability, lifestyle risk factors, reported dental health, reported health status, premature mortality and child and mental health as “negative”. In Hume, there are 7.3 diabetics per 100,000 people, compared to the Victorian average of 4.7. Dr Cowen described diabetes as an epidemic in Hume. “We’ve got a diabetes crisis, and it leads to a whole range of other complications like blindness and amputations.”
Canning the sugar crave You’ll struggle to find a can of Coke or bottle of Sprite on display at school canteens in Whittlesea at the end of the month. For Children’s Week, between October 24 and November 1, Whittlesea council has asked primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, supermarkets, gyms and offices to remove soft drinks from view to help parents buy healthier options for their children. Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham said families were barraged with creative marketing of sugary fruit juice and soft drinks, making it difficult for parents to refuse pleading children. “We’re not telling parents what to buy for their kids, we’re simply asking food outlets to allow parents to make choices without the added pressure of ‘pester power’ from kids at the supermarket or ‘in-your-face’ marketing,” Cr Kirkham said. Parents at South Morang Cricket Club have already jumped on board, offering kids
only water post-training and on game day. According to council statistics, 47 per cent of children between two and 16 drink sugary drinks every day, costing parents about $1095 each year. Cr Kirkham said there was evidence that consuming soft drinks contributed to significant weight gain. According to council data, 55 per cent of the community is overweight or obese, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes – which can be prevented by maintaining a healthy weight and diet – is one of the highest of any municipality in the state.

Skate, bike boon for Whittlesea By Alexandra Laskie Skateboarders, mountain bike and BMX riders are in for a treat over the next decade following a commitment from Whittlesea council to upgrade the city’s facilities. Councillors agreed last week to invest about $1.4 million over the next 10 years in mountain biking, BMX, road racing, skateboarding, roller-skating and scootering in a bid to get more people outdoors and exercising. According to council research, cycling and skating are the most popular sports in Whittlesea. Participation data reveals about
‘‘

’’
- James Lake
47,000 residents skate, scoot or cycle, and that figure is predicted to rise to about 70,000 by 2025. Whittlesea’s leisure planner, James Lake, said in a council report that for a relatively limited investment, cycling and skating could deliver substantial physical and mental
health benefits to the community. “They provide an outlet for self-expression, physical challenge, exhilaration, social interaction and environmental appreciation,” Mr Lake wrote. The council plans to spend $500,000 redeveloping the Sycamore BMX track, dirt jumps and pavilion. Construction is due to start early next year. About $220,000 will be spent planning, designing and upgrading the Epping Skate Escape and about the same amount will go to upgrading Laurimar Skate Park, while $660,000 will pay for a new skate park in Mernda. Recurrent funding of $4000 will
also be used to run regular clinics and demonstration sessions. Northern Park BMX Club president Terry Nicholls said the club’s 120 members looked forward to hosting races at the track once it is upgraded. BMX Australia has refused to approve the track for official meets because it has fallen into a state of disrepair. “We haven’t had a race there for three years because of the condition of the track,” Mr Nicholls said. The council consulted Mr Nicholls as well as neighbouring councils and primary school children, and it conducted surveys at skate parks as part of the review.
Bands say ban violence A group of secondary school students have decided to tackle the state’s dire domestic and family violence statistics head on. Students in years 9, 10 and 11, who are part of Whittlesea YMCA and Whittlesea council’s Youth Services Engage program, are asking their peers to draw a line in the sand against family violence by buying a wristband with “stop the violence” printed on it. The wristbands will be released at Bands4Bands, a music festival that will feature five young, local bands performing at Epping Memorial Hall on October 16. Whittlesea youth worker Blair Colwell says all proceeds from the sale of the anti-violence wristbands will go to the Luke Batty Foundation. He says the teenagers wanted to raise awareness about something they feel passionate about.
“And they chose the Luke Batty Foundation because it works closely with young people.” Mr Colwell says the students are hoping more than 300 people will come along on the night. All secondary school students are welcome. Entry costs $15 and the event will be fully supervised, with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs not permitted. The Bands4Bands charity music event is on Friday, October 16, from 6.30-10.30pm.

Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.
1180512-PB16-15
“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says.

Dr Tony Stubbs’ Collins St Practice Coates Building, Suite 2, Level 2 20 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria, 3000 Tel: +613 9650 8044 Fax: +613 9650 8099
A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.� No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir goes back to basics – Sunday lunch at a great local Sunday roast lunches at pubs – $10, $15, $20, $25? Do you get what you pay for? As far as we know, the Spottiswoode Hotel continues to offer a grand $10 deal on Sundays. Others we know of in the inner ‘burbs deliver $20+ offerings. This Sunday, Bennie gives up on his desire for Vietnamese tomato rice in the face of his dad’s determination to go roast. We head first for a certain Williamstown pub we believe now has $15 roast lunches on the menu but, on arrival, we discover they will not start until the following weekend. Plan B is return home, park the car and walk to our local, the Railway Hotel, which has been advertising $18.50 Sunday roasts – sort of a middle ground, price-wise, with two kinds of meat on offer. Will it be worth the extra dollars? We pay, get our number and wait. Bennie chooses the pork. I try a mouthful. Perhaps not surprisingly, it’s dry but – good stuff – tender enough. And it is full of strong, good piggy flavour. The crackling is a tad salty but all of it is crisp and a joy to eat. One pub manager has told me it’s simply impossible in regards to power bills to serve roast vegies at these sorts of prices. That I don’t mind. The spud is roasted and herbed and very good.
RAILWAY HOTEL Address: 35 Anderson Street, Yarraville Phone: 9687 2034 The beans, broccoli and carrots may be steamed but they are wonderful – cooked more than al dente and perfect. I select the roast beef. It’s fabulous. It appears to be smothered in good gravy. But as it turns out there is just enough gravy – and only just enough – to support the meat. I am served three slices that are just shy of half an inch thick. The meat is tender and tastes grand. It breaks apart in strands that I’m more familiar with from dining on brisket at barbecue joints. This is new and wonderful territory for me when it comes to roast beef. There is so much of it, I keep offering Bennie hefty chunks even as I close in on the final slice. I am on a serious food high as we skip down the street for some sugar and spice from our fave ice-cream joint. The Railway Hotel Sunday roasts have convinced me that sometimes, at least, you do get what you pay for. And it’s still a bargain. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

SPORT Craigieburn soaring after season filled with finals Grand final day didn’t bring the results Craigieburn Football Club wanted, but it showed the Essendon District Football League club is moving in the right direction. The Eagles’ senior and under-18.5 teams both played off in division 1 grand finals, losing both, while the reserves side also made finals. Eagles president Brian Hall said the season proved the club was on the right track, after coming close to relegation last year. “We were very happy with the results of having three sides in the finals,” Hall said last week. “When we started to recruit players for the season, our goals changed. Our journey really
began three to four years ago when we started rebuilding. “We were looking for a good year this year, which is what we got.” Hall said the goal now was to make further development and, hopefully, return to premier division. “We’re hopeful that we can go one step better. That was our goal when we started to rebuild the club.” The first step was retaining this year’s playing group, and coach Peter Budgen was reappointed in the lead-up to the grand final. Former AFL players Jason and Cameron Cloke have signed on again, as have Jeremy
Page, Josh Young and David Courouzou. The five joined the club this season and were all selected in the EDFL division 1 team of the year. “Everyone we have who wanted to sign, we have signed,” Hall said. “We’d heard a number of rumours that other clubs had wanted them [the Cloke brothers], but we were always confident they would recommit to us.” He said the club was on the lookout for a key backman and wanted to add a bit of speed to the side. While the recruits took a lot of the spotlight, the Eagles’ under-18.5 and junior sides
continue to grow and develop. “Definitely, in the next two to three years, all those players will be coming through into the seniors,” Hall said. “We had two under-16 players in the under-18.5 grand final and two or three under-18.5s in the senior grand final. “At certain stages, we had about 90 players on the track for our senior teams, which is saying people want to play for us.” Meanwhile, premier division side Greenvale has signed Northern Saints’ stars Fort and Nat Caruso for next season.

Clubs block Blues move
Brad Mitchell was the standout in his first game as captain.

Skipper leads the way By Tara Murray Plenty Valley started the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association the same way it ended last season – on top. The Bats had a convincing first-up win in the north-east division against Noble Park on Saturday. Resuming on day two of the match at 1-9 and needing 175 for victory, the Bats controlled the tempo and the scoreboard, chasing down the total with 27 overs to spare and finishing at 5-180. Bats coach Michael Sheedy said: “We were playing against a team that I think will be a very competitive finals side. “The fashion [in which] we got the win made a strong point.” New captain Brad Mitchell was the standout, finishing 62 not out. “He came in at 4-84 when we were in a precarious position,” Sheedy said. “The boys were going but just not making the most of it
‘‘
We weren’t at our best, but we still managed to get - Michael Sheedy it done
’’
on the scoreboard. Brad really knuckled down and it’s pleasing to see him play a skipper’s innings. He’s a natural leader and has really blossomed.” Englishman Will Wright also showed glimpses of his talent in his first game for the Bats. “Extremely excited with what we saw, as we hadn’t seen much of him before this,” Sheedy said. “We had a void in an opener’s role with Kamalesh Murugsan not coming back. “Will will only get better the longer he’s in Australia.” Sheedy said that despite the convincing first-up win, there was still improvement to be
had, especially with the bowling. Sean Ayres was the best of the bowlers on day one, taking three wickets. “We weren’t at our best but still managed to get it done,” Sheedy said. “We need to get better consistency with the ball and we spoke about getting it better against Preston. Preston began its season with a shock win over Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows in their one-day clash. Sent in, Preston set the Falcons a difficult target after making 7-190 off its 45 overs. Anthony Noto, in his first senior game for the Falcons, was the best of the bowlers, taking three wickets. It was a case of batsmen getting starts but not going on with it for the Falcons. The top eight all made double figures but no one passed 35, Daniel Patrick top-scoring with 32. The Falcons were dismissed with 14 balls remaining. This week, they play Brunswick.
Kilmore’s future remains in limbo after fellow Riddell District Football Netball League clubs voted against the Blues’ proposed move to the Northern Football League. Following a recommendation by the RDFNL board, club representatives voted overwhelmingly at a meeting last week against the Blues’ application to leave the league. Kilmore president Dave Milne said the club would not survive if it stayed in the RDFNL. “We pretty much expected the decision,” Milne said. “I offered them [the RDFNL] the keys to the club since they think they know what’s best for us. “I’d spoken to five or six presidents before the meeting and they said they supported our decision. “No players want to sign contracts and nobody wants to join the club. It sounds as if about 12 players will go, as will the coaches and half the committee.” Milne said it was good to have the support of all Northern Football League clubs and board. “Speaking to [NFL boss] Peter McDougall it’s very heartening; nobody wants to see the club no longer around,” he said. “For us to really kick on and prosper, we need to be in the NFL.” Rod Ward, general manager of AFL Goldfields which manages the RDFNL, said the decision wasn’t unanimous but most teams opposed Kilmore’s bid to leave. “Clubs identified that Kilmore is in a precarious position and they had concerns the move to the Northern Football League would fracture the club,” Ward said. “The netballers would play on Friday nights and the under-19s would likely play in a combined division 1-2 competition. “That would see an increased number of volunteers needed and a reduction of gate and canteen takings and it could put them in a more precarious position.” Ward said the league would give Kilmore a great deal of support to stay in the league to ensure the club did not fold. “I’d encourage players to get behind the club and sign on whichever league the club is in,” he said. The RDFNL and Kilmore will put submissions to AFL Victoria by October 17. AFL Victoria is expected to make a decision within seven to 10 days after that on where Kilmore will play in 2016.

City kids on right track By Tara Murray A greater focus on technique and coaching is among the main aims for Whittlesea City Little Athletics Centre this season. The centre started its season on Saturday morning and even a little rain could not dampen the children’s enthusiasm. The centre’s Narelle Cullen said the Whittlesea City centre was looking to improve on last season’s standout results. “We have focused on coaching and I don’t think we’ve ever had as many medalists at regions and state events,” she said. “The president and competition director have spent a lot of timing refining the program for a better balance of events. “There’s a bit more focus on longer running events and the field events, not just sprints. “We are hoping to give the kids a variety of events.” This season the centre has introduced turbo javelin for the under-10s and the ‘on track’ program for the under-six and under-sevens. “The turbo javelin is about preparing kids for proper javelin in the older age groups. “The ‘on track’ program teaches techniques by using games. “It uses hula hoops, beanbags and witches’ hats and we’re hoping it will assist in the training and coaching of the kids,” Cullen said. She said the improved focus on coaching and technique was aimed at trying to get more children participating in region and state events. She said there had been good numbers at the first session of the season and they were hoping to have about the 450 member-mark again. Australian athletes Brooke Stratton and Eleanor Patterson will visit the centre in the coming weeks.

Footy coaches locked in Two Northern Football League clubs have appointed new coaches and a third has reappointed a premiership-winning coach. Jim Atkins will replace Brad Dean at Whittlesea, while Heidelberg assistant coach Dean Grainger will take over from Craig Lambert at South Morang. Atkins said he was looking forward to coaching the division 2 premiers. “I’ve been here for a year as a player and two years as an assistant coach,” he said. “After being under Brad for the last two years I know where the club is going. It’s a big challenge, but we’re where we want to be, in division 1.” Grainger said South Morang’s emerging young list was what attracted him to apply for the Lions’ senior coaching job. “I’m really looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s a professional club which has a group of young players with a couple of experienced players as well. “They have a strong junior program and all three senior sides finished on top of the ladder.” Improving on last year’s grand final appearance is the goal for Grainger. “Obviously you want the club to improve and win premierships and get the club into the division they believe they belong in,” he said. Meanwhile, Bundoora has reappointed Phil Plunkett, who led the club to the 2013 flag, as senior coach.

Washout foils premiers By Tara Murray Rivergum and Lalor Warriors were praying for rain to go away and come again another day during their North Metro Cricket Association matches on Sunday. After winning their opening matches on Saturday, both were on track to make it 2-0 starts to the season in Sunday’s round two. That was until the rain came, causing their matches to be abandoned and declared draws. Reigning premier Rivergum was just 15 short of victory when rain halted play against Northcote United on Sunday. After bowling United out for 94, Rivergum was 5-80 when stumps were drawn. In Saturday’s match against Keon Park, Rivergum left off where it finished last season. Sending Keon Park in to bat proved a good decision as only captain Steve Nicholson (25) passed 20 in a total of 104. Rivergum reached its target of 105 with six wickets and almost six overs to spare. Lalor Warriors began their season with a win against Northcote United on Saturday. Batting first, the Warriors fell for a modest 147, with 45 from Brad Turner rescuing an innings that had slumped to 5-55. The target proved to be too much for United, the Warriors’ bowlers spreading the load as Northcote succumbed for 92. Themi Tilkeridis took 3-0 in the one over he bowled. The Warriors’ chances of making it two wins in as many days were ruined by the Sunday rain. The Warriors batted first, making 172 against Keon Park with Turner again the star with 72. Keon Park was 4-75 when rain caused the match to be abandoned. On Saturday, North Brunswick/Rosebank fell five runs short of victory against Holy Trinity, while Olympic Colts defeated Darebin Chargers. Olympic Colts and North Brunswick/ Rosebank’s match on Sunday was also abandoned because of rain Holy Trinity made it two wins in as many days with victory over Darebin Chargers after easily chasing down the Chargers’ 178. On Sunday, with rain causing havoc, matches in the Quick Shield suffered the same fate as the top division. All four games were drawn as rain prevented results. In the opening round, Preston Druids, Northern Socials, Bundoora Park and Heidelberg West were on the winners’ list. Northern Socials’ Dushan Wickramarathna was the standout performer in the opening round against Cobras, making 114 in a total of 8-241. Cobras made 119 in reply.

Rain pours cold water on thrilling finish Rain ruined a nail-biting clash between Bundoora and Rosanna in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association’s Barclay Shield on Saturday. Bundoora needed just two wickets, while Rosanna needed three runs when play was called off for the day. Batting first, the Bulls batsmen struggled and gave away wickets too easily to finish their innings at 9-93. Adam Sing (35) and Andrew Fairchild (34) were the only players to reach double figures. It was a similar case in Rosanna’s innings with only two players making double figures as their innings closed at 8-90. Jason Kaminski took three wickets for the Bulls. Bulls coach Mark Maxwell said both sides had their chances to get the win. “It was a pretty even contest with rain interrupting play,” he said. “We didn’t bat well, getting out too easily. “They had their chances, too. There were
times when they were going along really well and then lost wickets. “You play cricket to get results so it was disappointing not to get a result.” The game was the first in charge for Maxwell, arguably the Bulls’ most decorated player. “It’s good to be back at the club and it’s rewarding,” he said. “We’re a younger side than last year and there’s a good crop of players coming through. “Our three junior sides all won on the weekend and we have some good under-16s.” Maxwell said Thomas Cesaro, Kunal Minhas, Callan Jones, Nicholas Caracella, Cooper Gunn and Lachlan Smart were some of the upcoming players at the club. English import Thomas Cummins, 20, is another youngster to watch. “It’s very exciting,” Maxwell said. “Getting younger players back gives the club a good feel. “The players are organising a club event for this weekend and are enjoying each other’s company.”
In other matches, Epping beat local rival Mernda. Epping’s Nilakshan Abeyratne was the star when his side batted first, scoring 81 out of 7-163, while Ben Gorski took three wickets for Mernda. Mernda’s innings never got going, and only Ashley Williams reached double figures, with 33 in an all-out total of 76. Marcus Murphy and John Kulikowski took three wickets each for Epping. Bundoora United beat Old Paradians/St Francis, opener Mathew Ross making 78 in United’s total of 9-177 from the 40 overs. Gavin Teague took 5-32 for the Wolves. The Wolves were bowled out for 155 with one over left, Nicholas Stevens taking 4-27. Lalor Stars, Heidelberg, Lower Plenty, North Eltham Wanderers and Eltham were the winners in the Money Shield. The Mill Park-Hurstbridge match was abandoned because of rain and declared a draw. Tara Murray

Craigieburn cruises to win for new coach Ian Blanchett’s coaching career at Craigieburn got off to the best possible start with victory over Westmeadows in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association. Blanchett moved from Airport West St Christopher’s in the off-season with the aim of lifting Craigieburn up the divisions. In Saturday’s north A1 match, Westmeadows was bowled out for 176 in the last of its allocated 40 overs. Craigieburn finished its overs at 5-187. Speaking before the match, Blanchett said the move to Craigieburn had so far been satisfying. “It’s always hard coming to a new club and not knowing anyone,” he said. “It’s a great challenge … I don’t shy away from that. “I wanted to make an impact at a lower level and help them get back up the ranks. “It’s been further to travel but worth it so far.” Blanchett said there was a good attitude among the players and a willingness to learn. “There’s definitely some young talent and I’m looking forward to working with them,” he said. “Some of the older guys might learn a few things, too. I want to help everyone progress with their cricket.” The core of last year’s side, which narrowly missed the finals, has returned. Brad Penaluna, who played for Brunswick’s second XI in sub-district cricket has joined, as has Tim English, who joins his brother at the club. “They have employed me to reach finals and I think we can reach them with the squad we have,” the coach said. “A few players have gone overseas and there’s always some coming and going, but we’ve kept the nucleus together. “We’ve had a whole team come across to the lower levels from Avondale Heights, and I’m looking forward to working with them.” Jacana came up short against Avondale Heights in its first game back in the north A1 division. Avondale Heights batted first and made 5-232. The Lions finished on 8-200. In other results, Greenvale Kangaroos defeated Tullamarine in the senior division. Needing 158 for victory, the Kangaroos made it with ease, finishing on 6-182. Openers Tarek Moughanie and Matthew Innes top-scored with 47 runs apiece. Chathura Darshana was the pick of the Kangaroos’ bowlers earlier in the day, taking four wickets. In Premier Cricket, Greenvale Kangaroos remain winless after three rounds. The Kangaroos came within five runs of victory against St Kilda on Saturday. After being sent in, St Kilda looked on track for a big total after getting to 2-99, before Sunam Gautum (6-14) hit his straps to help restrict St Kilda to 155. The Kangaroos were bowled out for 151 in reply. On Sunday, the Kangaroos fell well short of the 6-244 target set by Footscray Edgewater. The Kangaroos were bowled out for 148.
