Rapping to a new beat
(Marco De Luca)
Three years ago, Milad Norouzi was building a new life in Australia and looking for ways to share his writing. He arrived in Australia from Iran 18 months earlier, knowing little English. Recognising he was looking for an outlet, a friend took Mr Norouzi to an Outer Urban Projects performance at Preston, where young artists shared their stories through poetry. After the performance, Mr Norouzi joined the company, signing up for singing, rapping and writing workshops. Initially, the pieces he wrote weren’t in English, so Outer Urban Projects arranged for them to be translated. In late 2015, the singer, rapper and beat boxer took to the stage at the Melbourne Festival to share his story in Outer Urban Projects’ Grand Divisions performance. Mr Norouzi, from Campbellfield, will be working with Hume students over the next 18 months, as part of a program run by Outer Urban Projects and Hume council providing workshops for students at Hume Central College and Roxburgh Park Secondary College. Mr Norouzi will mentor students as part of the rapping and beat box workshops. Laura Michell
Cats prompt health alarm By Laura Michell Hume council has knocked back a request for rubber matting to be installed in the playground of a Meadow Heights childcare centre, despite cat faeces and needles being found among bark covering the yard. The Meadow Heights Education Centre made a submission to the council’s 2018-19 budget, asking for funding to be set aside for bark in the playground of its occasional care centre to be replaced with rubber matting. Director Nader Hanna has to remove cat faeces Meadow Heights Education Centre finance every morning. (Marco De Luca) manager Rhonda Sadovksy said staff were worried its babies and toddlers could catch women and people with compromised immune toxoplasmosis from the cat faeces lurking in the systems. playground’s bark. Ms Sadovsky said two syringes were also The condition is dangerous for pregnant found in the playground.
She said the safety of the playground had been a concern for a number years, with the centre raising the issue with the council on several occasions. “The cats go to the toilet on the bark, toddlers then fall over because they can’t walk properly on the bark, touch the droppings, and pass the infection on. The symptoms of toxoplasmosis are similar to cold and flu so you don’t know if they have it,” she said. “There is the potential risk of toxoplasmosis being passed from the toddlers to pregnant staff members or mothers.” Ms Sadovsky said the centre had offered to pay half the costs of installing the rubber matting. “I feel sorry for the children … we need to get them outside to play, but it is too dangerous.
You can’t see what is under the bark,” she said. A report to a recent Hume council meeting said the risk of children being infected with diseases from contact with cat faeces is low. It said removing feral cats from the area was a better long-term solution. Hume council corporate services director Daryl Whitfort said council officers have begun trapping and removing cats at the Meadow Heights Education Centre. “Council officers are available to meet with staff at the Meadow Heights Education Centre to provide general advice,” he said. “Council is committed to a safe community and works in partnership with local community health services and community groups to promote community safety and education programs.”

Epping reserve scores revamp By Laura Michell Ovals, cricket wickets, practice nets and tennis courts will be upgraded at Epping Recreation Reserve as part of a $5 million masterplan for the site. Whittlesea councillors endorsed the plan last week, paving the way for upgrades to the 9.3-hectare reserve. The reserve, which borders High and Miller streets and O’Herns Road, is used by the Epping cricket, football and tennis clubs and
currently has two football and cricket ovals, a pavilion and changerooms, six tennis courts, playground, public toilets and barbecues. Under the masterplan, oval one will be redeveloped, with lighting, drainage, cricket wickets and coaches boxes to be improved. Minor upgrades will be made to the scoreboard and coaches boxes on oval two. Two of the existing tennis courts will be redeveloped and cricket practice nets upgraded to include five bays. A new fitness circuit and basketball/netball court will also be created.
‘‘
Epping Football/Netball club is looking forward to … - Lawrie Cox the netball court
’’
The plan includes an expansion of the pavilion forecourt to include a central plaza with spectator seating, shelters and picnic and barbecue facilities. A report to council said the plan would guide the future use and development of the reserve.
“Given the rapid population growth of the area and the increased participation in a range of sports across the precinct, the review of land use and existing facilities will ensure it continues to function as a safe and accessible open space destination for both the local and visiting communities,” the report said. Cr Lawrie Cox said he welcomed the masterplan. “I know the Epping Football/Netball Club is looking forward to using the netball court, which is an addition to the reserve,” he said.
Arterial road fight goes on Yuroke MP Ros Spence has vowed to keep fighting for upgrades to Mickleham and Somerton roads. The busy arterial roads were left out of a $2.2 billion state budget pledge to upgrade 13 arterial roads across the northern and south-eastern suburbs, with the government instead spending money on Craigieburn, Sunbury, Epping, Childs and Bridge Inn roads. A new petition began circulating last month, calling for the government to prioritise the duplication of Mickleham and Somerton roads because of “increased traffic volumes and ongoing safety issues”, while another petition is scheduled to be tabled in Parliament by Ms Spence when MPs return from their winter break. Latest traffic counts reveal that Mickleham Road, north of Somerton Road, is used by about 24,000 vehicles each day. In 2015, it was used by about 21,000 vehicles daily. Somerton Road between Magnolia Boulevard and Roxburgh Park Drive is used by about 28,000 vehicles daily, up from 27,000 in 2015. Ms Spence said she had already presented six other petitions to Parliament calling for the roads to be duplicated. “As a Greenvale resident, I am a regular user of Mickleham and Somerton roads and I know they need to be fixed,” she said. “I will continue to advocate for the need to duplicate these roads until we get the projects funded.” Traffic and safety on Mickleham Road has long been a concern for Greenvale and Craigieburn residents, as well as Aitken College staff and parents.
Our groomer is top dog Bridget Canals is a champion dog groomer. The Petbarn South Morang salon manager recently won first place in the salon freestyle open section at the Pet Industry Association’s annual grooming competition. Ms Canals had two hours to make four-year-old Bichon Cross Poodle Nala look her best, competing against dog groomers from around the country. The judges made their decision based on creativity, technical work and aesthetic elements. Ms Canals credits Nala with her win. “I think Nala set me apart from the others. She is a very pretty looking dog and takes advantage of her cuteness,” she said. Ms Canals, who has been a dog groomer for about seven years, said she loved getting to work with dogs every day. “I have always been a dog lover,” she said. “I got into the industry when I was 17 and so it is all I have done. Every dog is different and every day is different.” Laura Michell

Victorian ice hockey player Dylan in his backyard. (Marco De Luca)
Skating to success Dylan Brookes is strapping on his skates and getting ready to represent Victoria at hockey The 10-year-old from Mernda has been chosen to represent Victoria at ice hockey and in-line hockey at the upcoming national championships Dylan has been skating since he was three years old, and took up ice hockey at five, following in the footsteps of his mum and grandfather. He began in-line hockey almost three months ago. Mum Ruth said Dylan was passionate about the sport. “He gets himself up at 5.30am every Saturday to go to training at Oakleigh,” she said. “He trains Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday at Oakleigh
for ice hockey and then Monday and Tuesday at Sunshine. “Since the new ice rink opened in Reservoir [on July 1] there is only one day that we haven’t been.” Mrs Brookes said Dylan wanted to pursue a career in America’s National Hockey League, either as a player or coach. “If he shows determination, we could send him to Canada or America. He would be placed with a family and would go to a hockey academy,” she said. “If you want to play ice hockey, you have to go overseas.” Dylan will represent Victoria in the under 13 championships at the O’Brien Group Area in Docklands in August, before heading to South Australia in September as part of the under 11 in-line hockey team.

Whittlesea gets new wave pool By Laura Michell
A beautiful opportunity
(Joe Mastroianni)
The first outdoor wave pool in Victoria is on its way to Whittlesea. Whittlesea council voted last Tuesday to approve an application for a wave pool and cafe to be built at Funfields. Funfields owner John Verga said the wave pool was being added to the Plenty Road fun park in response to a patron survey. “By and large, people were asking for a body of water they could chill out in,” he said. “We drilled that down further through further surveys and the preference was for a pool or wave pool.” Mr Verga said he expected the pool to be open on December 1, with the new attraction and cafe set to create 15-20 jobs. Before the pool can be opened, Funfields will need to build sound walls along the northern side of the pool and along the northern site boundary, along with a 2.4 metre sound wall along the park boundary which will be tapered at the eastern and western ends. Landscaping will also have be carried out on council land to the north of the park, at a cost to Funfields. An acoustic report must also be submitted to council to monitor noise levels. Councillors included the conditions in their planning permit for the pool and cafe in response to concerns from Funfields’ neighbours. The application received six objections, mainly around noise levels. Cr Tom Joseph said Funfields was important to the municipality. “It is a business that is beneficial to the entire municipality and as a fun park, it is important for them to bring in new attractions,” he said. “These types of conflicts will be there but we need to manage them taking into consideration the concerns of residents and the interests of the owners.”
Tullamarine’s Amber Ghent is a step closer to one day owning her own beauty salon after receiving a scholarship from L’Oreal to study beauty therapy at Kangan Institute. Ms Ghent is one of four recipients of the inaugural L’Oreal Beauty for All Scholarships, an initiative of the beauty company and Kangan. The scholarships help people facing hardship to pursue a career in the beauty industry by covering education expenses. Ms Ghent said the scholarship would hopefully help her get a foot in the industry’s door. “I think that just the name L’Oreal will mean something to future employers,” she said. “Hopefully, they think I received it because I show potential and they will give me chance.” Ms Ghent’s interest in beauty started when she was much younger and often tried out different beauty techniques on her friends. A few years ago, she became a qualified hairdresser, but decided to go back to TAFE to study beauty therapy and pursue her dream of being a beautician. “I love it,” she said. “I think make-up and tanning enhance people’s features. “With make-up and contouring, you can enhance someone’s face and with tanning you enhance their body shape. I think it helps make people even more beautiful.” Laura Michell

Whittlesea budget block fails By Laura Michell Whittlesea council’s 2018-19 budget has survived an attempt to rescind and amend it. A motion was put to last Tuesday’s council meeting by Cr Ricky Kirkham to rescind the budget, after it was adopted by councillors on June 26. The motion failed to gain the support of a majority of councillors, meaning it stands as adopted last month. Cr Kirkham said he wanted to rescind and amend the budget because he was concerned about the council’s decision to include $100,000 for an inter-cultural officer when the position
did not have the support of council officers. He also raised concerns about the council’s plan to separate rates and waste charges from July 1. The council says the total revenue collected through rates and the waste charges will be within the 2.25 per cent rate cap set by the state government for this financial year. But Cr Kirkham said he was concerned the waste charge would push the council above the rates cap in future years. “We have to be very clear and open and honest with our residents,” he said. “I believe this organisation takes enough money from ratepayers. I believe our residents believe they pay for waste as a core service of council.”
‘‘
We have to be very clear and open and honest … The budget includes an $88.8 million capital works program, including $12 million to start the redevelopment of the Mill Park Leisure Centre, $3 million to construct a pavilion and carpark at Harvest Home Road in Epping and $2.4 million to redevelop the Main Street pavilion in Thomastown.

On the road to success By Laura Michell Part of Cookes Road will be upgraded to make it easier for trucks to transport produce from Mernda’s Costa Mushroom Exchange to market. The state government has provided $300,000 to upgrade the road as part of its Roads to Market Program. The grant, along with co-investment from Costa Mushroom Exchange, will help Whittlesea council to widen and seal a section of Cookes Road.

Work will also be done to improve left and right turns at the intersection of Cookes and Bridge Inn roads. Costa Mushroom Exchange, which is Australia’s largest grower of pre-packed mushrooms, regularly uses the intersection and will be one of the major agricultural businesses to benefit from the work. Yan Yean MP Danielle Green said the upgrade would provide a safer surface for heavy vehicle ranging from 12 to 68 tonnes and allow for better maneuverability at the intersection. “Agriculture is one of this state’s most important industries and to get produce moving more efficiently we need the right infrastructure – that’s why we’re backing this upgrade to Cookes Road,” she said. “This investment in Whittlesea’s road network will boost the productivity of farm businesses and their supply chains, putting

The Cookes Road upgrade is one of 39 projects, worth $13.44 million that will be funded this year in a bid to improve connections from the farm gate to arterial roads, receival points and markets.

Mernda gets ready for new Ambo station Mernda’s first ambulance station is a step closer after a builder was appointed for the project. The $3.2 million station will be built on Plenty Road between the Bridge Inn Hotel and Bunnings by Commercial Industrial Construction Group. It is expected to be completed by November. The station will have four ambulance bays, training facilities, rest and recline rooms, a kitchen and staff car parking. The 24-hour station will be home to a crew of 15 paramedics who are already working out of the Diamond Creek Ambulance Victoria branch. Yan Yean MP Danielle Green said the new station would give paramedics the facilities they needed to ensure patients in Mernda and Doreen get the fastest possible emergency response. According to Ambulance Victoria data, the average code one response time in Whittlesea between January and March was 11.45 minutes, down from 12.22 during the same period last year. Paramedics responded to 81.1 per cent of code one emergencies in under 15 minutes, up from 77.6 per cent the year before. “Mernda is growing as more and more families choose to live here. It needs its own ambulance branch to meet soaring demand and we are getting it done,” Ms Green said. Laura Michell

MY PLACE Peter Brookshaw has been the captain of the Craigieburn Salvation Army for close to six years. He speaks with Laura Michell. What’s your connection to Craigieburn? My family has lived in Craigieburn for nearly six years. My wife and I have the privilege of leading the work of The Salvation Army in this region. What do you like about Craigieburn? I love Craigieburn. Take, for instance, ANZAC Day, when the SES, the police, politicians, faith communities, schools communities, councillors, etc join together in solidarity to reflect on our past. Take, for instance, Craigieburn Festival or Hume Carols, where the community gathers together. Take, for instance, the spaces that continue to be developed that better enhance our community. I just love Craigieburn. What, if anything, would you like to change?
(Dennis Manktelow)
If I had one prayer that could be answered I would eradicate family violence from our society. Too many families have been hurt, almost irrevocably damaged by deep-seated pride and anger at the heart of some individuals. How long have you been involved with the Salvation Army? I have been a Salvation Army Officer for nearly 10 years and first began this journey in a little church community in the western suburbs. I first became involved because I witnessed a group of people living out their faith in Jesus in a real and authentic way. Faith with the sleeves rolled up. That caught my attention and has driven me to do what I can to lift people and encourage them to live the best life they can.
Why do you think it is important to get involved in the community and give back? Some say volunteerism has declined over the years and one may put that down to our hectic, complex lives. But I live with a mantra that says, “If you want to change the world, you have
to get off the couch”. So I choose to turn off the Netflix (but finish my chocolate) and go and do something to make a difference. If we all spent two hours a week volunteering, imagine the change in our society. What is your favourite place to spend time?
Friends laugh at how many coffee cards I have in my wallet. When I get the chance, I do the rounds. Waterside Cafe, Coffee Club, Ferguson Plarre, Jamaica Blue … you get the gist. Some of these cafes even have hollandaise sauce and cracked pepper. Now we’re talking. Craigieburn is a great place to live.

It tells the stories of 24 people, such as Behind the Wire’s Aran Mylvagnam, who are in offshore detention or who have been released into the community Hume mayor Geoff Porter said exhibition featured stories that were extraordinary, devastating and inspiring. “In this exhibition, you will hear first-hand
from people who have sought asylum in Australia and from those who were and are still detained by the Australian government under its mandatory detention policy,” he said. “Most importantly, [the exhibition] will shine a light on the voices that are so often absent from public discussion and allow us to gain an important glimpse into what it is like to seek asylum in Australia.” The exhibition is at the Gee Lee-Wik Doleen Gallery, 75-95 Central Park Avenue, until August 5.

Students Elsa, Celeste, Julian, Lucas and Adrian choose their next books. (Joe Mastroianni)
Challenge accepted Pupils at St Carlo Borromeo Primary School are hitting the books for this year’s Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge. More than 45 students at the Greenvale school have completed the challenge, which began in February. The youngsters have read a total of more than 2600 books between them. Children in prep, grade one and two must read 30 books to complete the reading challenge.
Pupils in grades three to 10 are required to read 15 books or more. More than 2.5 million young Victorians have read more than 45 million books since the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge was launched in 2005 – enough books to fill almost 11 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This year’s challenge will finish on September 7. Details: www.education.vic.gov.au Alesha Capone

SPORT Broncos need to fire if they’re to make the finals
Coach Kelvin Bowers is disappointed after losing some close games. (Shawn Smits)
Hume City Broncos’ finals hopes are hanging by a thread in the Big V men’s state championship. Sitting outside the top six, the eighth-placed Broncos need to win their remaining three matches and everything else to go their way. The Broncos’ task got a lot harder on Sunday when they lost to Waverley Falcons. A poor second quarter cost the Broncos, as they scored just eight points and trailed by 25 points at the main break. In the end, they lost 89-47. Speaking before the match, Broncos coach Kelvin Bowers knew their season was on the line. He had been hopeful of playing the basketball they had for most of their game against top side Ringwood Hawks. “The cards are drawn,” he said. “We’ll see what we are made of. There is self
belief in my team that they can play well for the rest of the season. “In the Ringwood game, we shot well, played good defence and should have won.” Bowers said if they missed out on playing finals, it would be a disappointing outcome for the season. He said it’s a case of what might have been, with the side losing five games by 10 points or less. “I would be lying if I said otherwise,” he said. “We’ve lost so many games that we should have won. The game against Knox and a few others we should have got the win. “We shouldn’t be in this position. We wanted to finish in the top four. “We know that the potential is there, we need to show it. We’ll never give up on ourselves.” For a second straight year, the Broncos
haven’t been helped by injuries to key players, but Bowers won’t use that as an excuse. The Broncos finish their up and down season against Casey Cavaliers (sixth), Eltham Wildcats (second) and Corio Bay Stingrays (bottom). Bowers said it will be a good test for them. “If we want to make finals, we have to beat these teams and we can’t stray from that. “There is three winnable games left and all three games are winnable. “I’m confident we’ll be able to go out there and perform.” The Broncos’ women’s side had an 80-69 win against Bulleen Boomers on Saturday night. Sophie Byrnes, who played all 40 minutes, top scored with 23 points. Tara Murray
Cannons fire in the wind By Tara Murray The Calder Cannons handled the windy conditions on their way to an impressive win against the Western Jets in the TAC Cup. After an even first half on the scoreboard, the Cannons kicked eight goals to one in the second half to come away with a convincing 10.18 (78)-3.4 (22) win. Cannons coach Ross Smith said the game was played in really tough conditions. “It was very windy and the wind was going straight across the ground,” he said. “The ball spent most of the game on the grandstand side. “We handled them better. We did have a couple of training sessions during the week, which helped. “We were able to control the game. We took 75 marks which is rare.” Smith said they didn’t go in with the intention of chipping the ball around, but it was the way it turned out. He said their dominance with the ball was reflected on the scoreboard. “We had a lot of the ball in our half, and had repeat inside 50 entries and plenty of scoring opportunities.” The Cannons could have won by a lot more had they kicked straight. While the wind did play some part in that, Smith said goal kicking had been an issue for them. “We had a number of set shots in the first quarter that were blown away by the wind,” he said. “It was nice to eventually get a few goals.” Tye Browning and Harrison Minton-Connell kicked two goals apiece for the Cannons. Daniel Mott was named the Cannons’ best for a second straight week. Smith said the match gave them a chance to look at a few of the younger players and players coming back from private school football. Lachlan Johnson, Minton-Connell and Harrison Jones were among them. He said Jones, who is undersized, had to shoulder the ruck load on Saturday. Smith said this week’s selection would be the hardest of the season. The Cannons’ players who have been part of the Vic Metro team are available for selection. Smith said the next three weeks would test where the side was at as they play the top three teams. The return of the Cannons’ Vic Metro representatives comes on the back of some good personal performances for the players. Smith said it was pleasing to see them perform at a higher level. Prospective father-son pick Rhylee West was named in the All-Australian team. “It’s really pleasing for him and for us,” Smith said of West. “It underlines his talent and doesn’t do his draft prospects any harm. “Curtis [Taylor] played good as well and Lachlan Sholl played some good games.
Last-Tear Poa top scored for the Whittlesea Pacers. (Mark Wilson)
Pacers cement top four spot Whittlesea Pacers left the best to last as they overcame the Werribee Devils in overtime in Big V women’s division 1. The Pacers and Devils traded blows throughout the game, with the Devils off to a fast start before the Pacers hit back. After trailing by six points at quarter time, the Pacers led by one point at half time. The two teams traded baskets in the second half and finished 75 points apiece. The overtime period was all the Pacers, as they outscored the Devils 15-5 to win 91-81. Youngster Last-Tear Poa top scored for the Pacers, scoring 22 points, coming off the bench. She was one of four Pacers players to score double figures. The Pacers then backed it up on Sunday, defeating Camberwell Dragons 91-76. A 31-17 third quarter from the Pacers proved to be the difference in the result. Poa was again the top scorer for the Pacers, scoring 20 points, as four Pacers scored double figures, showing their spread. The wins are important in the context of the season, helping cement their spot in the top four. The Pacers men’s side also had a good weekend, defeating the Sunbury Jets in division 1. It was a high scoring first half for the Pacers, who scored 66 points for the half. Despite losing both the third and fourth quarters, the Pacers held on to win 104-90. Dominic Bruno top scored with 32 points. Daniel Mott, who is holding off three opponents, starred for the Calder Cannons on Saturday.

Craigieburn women ready to build for next season Craigieburn will need a minor miracle to make finals in the first season of the Essendon District Football League Women’s competition. After starting the weekend’s round sitting in eighth, the Eagles slipped to ninth with a loss to Westmeadows 9.5 (59)-15. (11). It leaves the Eagles four points outside the top eight, ahead of a clash with ladder leaders Pascoe Vale in the final round. Speaking before the match, Eagles team manager Mandy Frost said while they would like to make finals, it wasn’t what will define their season. “It’s not a failure not making finals,” she said. “Its about learning the game and they’ll still walk out there with a smile on their face. “To get where they are is fantastic.” Frost said they had made massive inroads in just their second season as a side. She said everyone who had taken to the field had taken steps forward. “We’re doing really well and have a really
strong side,” she said. “Everyone gives it their all every week. There’s some really good sides out there and we do our best to try and keep up. “There’s been massive improvement.” Frost said they had added six to seven new players this season and they had fitted in perfectly. “There’s a range of ages from 16 to about 36,” she said. “There’s a good range of ages and the girls are playing a lot better and know how to compete. “They know how to play with each other.” Frost said Samantha French, Breana Jenkins, Breanna Meadows, Shawna Cooke and Kayla Glazebrook were some of the standouts for the Eagles this season. Meadows is the youngest player in the Eagle’s side at just 16. Johnny Albrecht has again coached the side, and continues to push the side to that next level. The women’s side is one of two female side’s
at the club, with the club fielding an under-13 team. That team is sitting second on the ladder. Frost said they were already looking at expanding the female presence at the club next season. “We’re looking to have four sides, under-13s, under-15s and youth league sides next season, to go together with our women’s side.” The win for Westmeadows keeps them sitting fifth heading into the final round. Other winners on the weekend were Aberfeldie, Strathmore, Sunbury Kangaroos, Sunbury Lions and Burnside Heights. Tara Murray

Jaguars tough it out By Tara Murray Jacana’s playing group continues to stick together despite a tough Essendon District Football League division 1 season. The Jaguars are the only team without a win and have been on the end of some big losses this year. Jaguars coach Robert Fletcher said despite the results he was proud of the playing group. “There’s been a lot of tough days,” he said. “The boys have stuck together, whereas some other clubs self destruct in the same position. “We’re just not going the wins.” It was a tough day on Saturday all round for the Jaguars, as both their reserves and seniors had big losses. The reserves team started the game with just 14 players, with a few having to double up in the seniors. The seniors then ran into a hot Craigieburn, who won 20.20 (140)-4.2 (26). Fletcher, who was previously an assistant coach at the Eagles, rated the opposition highly. “We had 12 of our best 22 not playing, but that’s no excuse. We weren’t good enough. “We played one of the best sides in the competition. They’ve got great leaders out there like Tuckey [Brent Gordon] and Christian McErlain. “They’re a massive chance to win this year and go back up and have another crack.” Fletcher said for his side a couple of the younger guys like Zac Hill and Dean Robinson were the standouts along with Jason Cloke, who provided a contest. For the third-placed Eagles, Dean Limbach kicked seven goals, while Nathan Perrone was named best on ground. The Jaguars sit bottom, three games and 35 per cent behind Westmeadows. While mathematically still a chance not to finish bottom, Fletcher said they were resigned to the fact they would finish last and be relegated. Fletcher said they were unlikely to get many of their missing players back in the run home. “The club has a plan and we’re trying to get under-19s up and running,” he said. “Our hands are forced and we’re having to throw guys around anywhere. “We don’t think we’ll get players back, so we’re stuck with what we have. “There’s 22 blokes going out there and having a crack, which is all the coach can ask for.” In other division 1 matches, Westmeadows suffered a 10-point loss to Oak Park. The Tigers led by 22 points at quarter time, but kicked just four goals from that point, losing 10.5 (65)-7.13 (55). Tullamarine had the bye. In premier division, Greenvale defeated Glenroy, 13.12 (90)-10.7 (67). 18 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 10, 2018

The Roys were in touching distance all day, but a six goal to four final quarter sealed the win. Addam Maric kicked three goals for the Jets, while Nick Maric was named best on ground.
The Jets sit third, percentage behind second placed Keilor. The closeness of the competition means there’s just eight points behind top and fifth.
Ranges strike to avoid the relegation zone Whittlesea Ranges climbed further away from the relegation zone with a strong win against Ballarat City in National Premier League 2 west. Sitting second and third last on the table respectively, the match was a perfect opportunity to put more of a gap on bottom side Sunshine George Cross. It was the higher ranked Ranges that got the job done, winning 2-0. The Ranges opened the scoring in the 11th minute, before scoring the sealer late as the result of a counter attack. The win is the Ranges fourth in five matches, as the team settles under new coach Tony Ciantar. While the Ranges stay in eighth spot, they are now six points clear of Ballarat City and nine points clear of Sunshine George Cross. Ranges this week face Brunswick City as they look to continue their good form. In NPL, Hume City suffered a 1-0 loss to Bentleigh Greens. Looking to continue their good run of form, Hume pushed the ladder leaders right to the end. It took until late in the second half for the teams to be split, with Matthew Thurtell scoring in the 85th minute for the Greens. The solitary goal was enough to seal the win for the Greens. Speaking at the club’s press conference, coach Nick Hegarty said they thought they were in the game in the second half. He said the Greens scored off a counter attack, which was disappointing. He said there was a lot of positives to come out of the game and shows where they currently stand. The result halts Hume’s rise up the ladder and keeps them in the relegation mix. Hume sits in 10th spot, with 19 points, six points behind sixth placed Melbourne Knights. At the same time, they sit just four points clear of bottom side Northcote City and Bulleen Lions. Hume this week faces the Lions, giving themselves the chance to increase the gap. Tara Murray

Lalor breaks the ice with second win of the season
There was plenty of smiles for Isaac Edgar and his Lalor team mates on Saturday. (Damian Visentini)
There were plenty of smiles on players faces as Lalor broke through for its second win of the Northern Football League division 3 season. Having defeated Reservoir in round one, it’s taken another 10 matches and a second match-up with the Mustangs to get win number two. Bloods coach Dean Grainger was thrilled to finally return to the winners list, with the side winning 9.18 (72)-5.10 (40). He said they were quite confident of getting the win, having been competitive against the top sides for large periods of time. “It’s always good to get a win,” he said. “It was good to see the smiles on the faces of the players as they were walking off. “It’s been a trying 12 weeks, so there’s plenty of joy after getting the four points.” It was the Bloods who were the better side in the first half and it showed on the scoreboard, as they led by 21 points. The Mustangs hit back in the third quarter and reduced the margin to less than a kick.
“Reservoir came back at us in the third,” Grainger said. “It was very windy conditions and made kicking the footy hard. “I challenged the guys at three quarter time ... The guys really dug deep and they showed us the character of the Lalor Football Club.” Grainger said while the margin on Saturday could have been larger, they were just happy with any win. Timothy Murphy, Demetrios Constantinou and Daniel Moore were among the best for the Bloods. Murphy, Moore and Luke Kelly kicked two goals each. Grainger said the win was a reward for the effort the players had put in each week. He said the aim was to try and play consistent football for the rest of the season. First, they have a bye this week. “Against Heidelberg West we were good for three quarters,” Grainger said. “We’re looking to challenge the top sides the
City’s efforts fall short By Tara Murray Craigieburn City fell just short against ladder leaders Lalor United in FFV state league 4 north. Third placed Craigieburn was looking to test itself against the best in the competition and showed it was no pushover. Craigieburn was in the match until the final whistle and had some good shots on goal. But a goal to Lalor’s Igorce Kolevski proved to be the difference, giving Lalor its 12th win of the season. Craigieburn coach Michael Loche said credit had to be given to Lalor and its coaching staff on the day. “It was a good effort from the boys,” he said. “We just fell short. “It was pretty windy conditions. We had the wind in the first half and they had it in the second. “We had a couple of chances late in the game with headers that went wide. “To be honest they were the better team and they deserved the win.” Loche was quick to praise his keeper, Cameron Salik who played a blinder of a game and kept the scoreline respectable. Craigieburn remains in third spot, four points behind second placed Darebin United. Loche said had you told him at the start of the season they would be sitting in that position he would have taken it. He said injuries had meant they were short on man power at times. “Jordan [Connerton] is still out,” he said. “He’s only played five full games and still is the leading goal scorer in the league. He’s a massive loss for us. “The boys have adapted really well and they fight from the first whistle until the last.” Loche said they were hoping to get Jordan Connerton, who he rates as the best player in the division, back in two to three weeks, which would be a big boost for the side. Sitting in such a good position, Loche said they were keen to try and finish in the top two and earn promotion. He said it would be massive for a club which is still in its infancy. “It would continue to kickstart where we’re going,” he said. “Our new facilities will be ready in September and women’s participation has increased from 20 to 60 from 2017 to 2018. It’s a massive growth area and things are going well.” In other results, fourth placed Greenvale United had 0-0 draw with Marcellin Old Collegians, while Plenty Valley Lions lost to Melbourne University, 6-1. In state league 2 north-west, ladder leaders Whittlesea United had a 2-0 win against Diamond Valley United. Hume United had a 1-0 win against Mill Park. In state league 3 west, Epping City had a 3-0 win against Heidelberg Stars, while Upfield lost to Moreland United. La Trobe University had a 0-0 result with Williamstown.

The Lions now sit in third spot, percentage ahead of the Demons. In division 1, Bundoora is up to fourth on the back of four straight wins. Whittlesea suffered a big loss to Greensborough.
