Students juggle bus links Romsey residents are concerned they are the “forgotten people” after an almost decade-long push for better bus services. Romsey residents Samantha Boswell and Leanne Frost have been campaigning for better public transport services to their suburb for close to 10 years, but say there has been little progress. “We’re the forgotten people,” Ms Boswell said. “We don’t get a single bus come out on a Sunday, and we have one bus on Saturdays. “And getting to and from work and school [on public transport] during the week on the current service is made very difficult because of the timetabling.” Parents in Romsey and Lancefield choose to send their children to Sunbury Downs College for a range of reasons, Ms Boswell said, including sport, part-time work and friendship groups. Ms Boswell’s daughter pays to catch a Salesian college school bus, which drops her off at Sunbury Secondary College in time to catch a connecting bus, to get her to school at Sunbury Downs College on time. She said her daughter would be late to school if she used the public bus service because its connecting service leaves Sunbury train station at 9am. “That bus is for Salesian kids, so they take priority, and once that bus is full, our kids get left behind,” she said. “As a community, we deserve better public transport for everyone. “Public Transport Victoria have failed to update our bus timetable for more than five years.

“Let’s work together so we can get the message across that we deserve better.” Macedon MP Mary Anne Thomas called for Public Transport Victoria to meet with Romsey residents and hear firsthand what improvements they would like to the Lancefield to Sunbury bus services. “Romsey is a growing community, and it is a very popular place to live for families,” Ms Thomas told Parliament last week.

[Let’s] get the message across we deserve better

- Samantha Boswell “Public transport connections with Clarkefield station and to Sunbury are vital for my community, and Sam and Leanne have been advocating for some time now for better public transport services. “A discussion with PTV [is important] to see how we can get bus and train services working better together, and meeting the needs of my community. “I look forward to PTV representatives coming to Romsey to discuss these issues directly with affected community members, with the aim of finding a solution to this timetable anomaly.” Ms Thomas said recent investments in public transport by the transport department have been well received, including the two extra peak services on the Bendigo line and upgrades to Gisborne, Kyneton and Woodend railway station carparks. PTV has been contacted.

In the box seat for giving Sunbury’s Errel Gray has 1000 empty shoeboxes to fill, destined for disadvantaged children from some of the world’s poorest countries – but she needs help. Operation Christmas Child is an international relief initiative of Samaritan’s Purse, which distributes boxes loaded with clothing, school supplies, toiletries, toys and accessories, to disadvantaged children. Ms Gray says the drive during September and October has grown over the past 12 years she’s been involved. “When I first started, we did about 200 boxes and now I’m filling 1000,” she said.

Sunbury rallies on parking woes By Esther Lauaki Sunbury Residents Association has backed a new petition calling for more parking at the train station. President Bernie O’Farrell said the association ‘strongly supported’ the petition, which has been slow to gain traction after its launch earlier this month, with just 36 signatures so far. Mr O’Farrell believes a greater community effort is needed to solve the town’s longstanding parking problem. “We support the calls for more parking in Sunbury 100 per cent, and we’re willing to

reach out to those groups and work together in getting Hume council and the state government to provide more parking,” he said. Sunbury train driver Stephen Coughlan, who will stand for Hume council in October, said the parking shortfall is one of his priorities. “The station carpark starts to fill up by 7am, and the parking is absolutely chocka by 8am,” Mr Coughlan said. “I’ve driven to Diggers Rest to look at the parking situation, and it’s almost as bad as at Sunbury now. “I think the parking issues arose from parking being sold off to Sunbury Square, around 15 years ago.

“Now we have a shortage of all-day parking. Those carparks are now reserved for Sunbury Square permit-holders only, and a parking officer patrols the area,” he said. Sunbury Business Association has pushed for $10 million from the state government’s park and ride program to fund two levels of a planned multi-level car park in Evans Street. Mr Coughlan said a multi-level carpark could be a suitable solution and needs to be explored through discussions between the community, state government and the council. One commuter, who posted to the online petition, said parking was of great concern to any new resident of the area.

“I’m building a house in Sunbury and will be catching the train at 7.30 each morning,” she said. “There are more and more developments going up. “Council revenue must be increasing. What logical reason could there be not to address this issue? It’s only going to get worse.” Hume councillor Jack Medcraft said a multi-storey car park had been earmarked for Sunbury in 2011, with developer Sunbury Central Pty Ltd and the government due to work with the council to deliver the project – but this was abandoned. He called for Sunbury parking plans to be revised. Petition details: http://bit.ly/2bMTps9

CFA gets ready for fire season By Esther Lauaki Gisborne’s volunteer firefighters will get bigger digs, while Macedon’s Country Fire Authority members will tackle emergencies more quickly in their new truck, thanks to the latest round of state funding. The CFA units are sharing in more than $9.3 million from the 2016-17 Volunteer Emergency Services equipment grants. Gisborne CFA gets $53,333 to extend its fire station, while Macedon CFA will use its $47,333 grant for a new field command vehicle.

‘‘

Our trucks are bigger than they were when the station was built - Sam Strang

’’

Under the program, the government commits $2 for every $1 raised by volunteer emergency service groups. Funds raised help buy extra trucks and tankers, watercraft vehicles and trailers, and to

carry out minor upgrades at base stations. Gisborne CFA captain Sam Strang said that being able to extend the truck parking area of the station would ensure it better complied with health and safety standards. “This funding will enable us to extend to the rear of the meeting room, and eliminate the health and safety problems that we’ve been having,” Captain Strang said. “Our trucks are bigger than they were when the station was first built, and we need the extension so that we can fit them in. “This is not only beneficial to the Gisborne

CFA, but it benefits the whole of the Macedon Ranges because it enables us to better assist other brigades in the region.” Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said CFA volunteer brigades in the Macedon electorate would receive a total of $218,134. Glenlyon, Musk, Leonards Hill and Franklinford CFAs also received funding through the program. “These grants will provide a welcome boost to volunteer CFA brigades in the Macedon Ranges, helping them buy the equipment they need to keep Victorians safe,” Ms Thomas said.

It may involve being a runner with water, or coaching and helping with training. “He’s very excited, as are we.”

Blaise O’Brien may have hung up his footy boots last week – but he’ll still be there for his Macedon Junion Football Club teammates. Three years ago, the 11-year-old footballer had surgery to straighten his legs, twisted by cerebral palsy, just so he could play alongside his twin, Tajh. This year, he made his debut in the Macedon Cats under-10s team, and he could have played again, but made the decision to step aside and be a runner for the under-12s next season. Blaise wore a champion’s grin as he ran onto the field as captain through a guard of honour for his testimonial match in the under-10s earlier this month. Team manager Craig Thorburn said Blaise had come to epitomise the “soul” of the team. “He is well respected, expects no favours and is as tough as nails … a top kid,” he said. “It was so nice, the opposition even joined the guard of honor that Blaise ran though.

Help chase a dream A Sunbury teacher is going the extra mile so a talented young boy can live his dream of becoming an elite athlete. Brooke Caulfield first met Elias, 12, last year when she worked as an integration aide at his primary school. Elias left Ethiopia in 2011, aged seven, after the death of his parents, travelling to Australia with his older brother and sister. Extended family here rallied around the youngsters – but life is still a struggle. Elias made both school and Little Athletics State championships last summer with very little experience, then went on to win a silver medal in the 400-metre event. He also qualified for the Victorian junior development squad in six other events. Ms Caulfield nominated Elias for the School Sports Victoria TeamVic 12-year-old boys’ team

Training boost to identify victims Regional health services in Hume and the Loddon Mallee will be set up to respond better to people experiencing family violence. Hundreds of hospital staff will be trained to identify signs of family violence and help patients experiencing harm to seek support as part of a $1.2 million state funded initiative. Training will be offered to help staff at 14 Victorian health services better support their clients. Health minister Jill Hennessy announced that funding for the Strengthening Hospital Responses for Family Violence initiative will increase from $250,000 to more than $1.2 million this financial year. Ms Hennessy said the initiative, now in its third phase, recognises the vital role that health services play in recognising and responding to family violence. “For many people, their doctor is someone they respect and trust,” Ms Hennessy said. “Doctors and nurses may be the first person someone experiencing harm will speak to – or the first person to see the signs of violence.” The new funding delivers on recommendation 95 of the Royal Commission into Family Violence. This requires a ‘whole-of-hospital service model’ be developed to respond to family violence in public hospitals within three to five years. Health service staff will be trained to notice the signs of domestic violence, inquire sensitively, respond respectfully and provide

pathways to specialist family violence support services, with the aim of earlier identification and quicker referral to services. Housing, disability and ageing minister Martin Foley said three new training modules would also be developed, focusing on elder abuse, sexual assault, and rural and remote communities. Separate funding will also support a fourth module focusing on children.

‘‘

For many … their doctor is someone they respect - Jill Hennessy and trust

’’

“We are working with our healthcare workers to ensure they have the right skills to equip them to provide the best care and response to elderly Victorians who are experiencing family violence,” Mr Foley said. As part of the project’s second phase, a free tool kit was developed by the Royal Women’s Hospital and Bendigo Health, in partnership with advocacy group Our Watch, to improve responses of health service staff in preventing, identifying and responding compassionately to people experiencing family and domestic violence. It features resources such as presentations, policies, procedures and guidelines that assist healthcare workers to identify and support people experiencing family violence, and refer them to the most appropriate services.

CAMILLE KOCH

Wound work rewarded Camille Koch has reaped the rewards of going that extra mile in her work. The registered nurse from Macedon Ranges Health took home the individual distinction award at the Health Employees Superannuation Trust Australia (HESTA) aged care awards in Canberra earlier this month. The awards recognise those in the aged care sector who make exceptional contributions to improving quality of life for older Australians. Ms Koch was awarded for her role in improving wound management. She established a multi-disciplinary wounds resource team at Gisborne Oaks residential aged care facility. There were 14 national finalists celebrated at the August 4 awards ceremony, where the three

overall winners were announced. They share in a $30,000 prize pool provided by long-standing awards supporter banking group ME, with each winner receiving $10,000 towards further education or team development. Macedon Ranges Health chief executive Don Tidbury congratulated Ms Koch on her efforts. “Macedon Ranges Health is extremely proud to have Camille’s contribution to high quality resident care recognised at a national level,” he said. “It is a great reflection on the commitment, care and support our people provide to our residents and clients on a daily basis.” Esther Lauaki

9 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 23, 2016

NEWS STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

MY PLACE Fiona Corke has gone from Ramsay Street to rescuing animals in the Macedon Ranges. She talks to Esther Lauaki about her greatest passions.

What brought you back? I had been living in Melbourne since I was 18. We wanted to get out of the city and, as I have always loved the area, we decided to move here – and very glad we did! We have been here for 14 years. What’s your work with Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network. I was a co-founder of the Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network back in 2007 with other local wildlife carers and rescuers. Our aim and our work has been to raise awareness of the plight of our local wildlife, to provide a support network for our very busy local rescuers and carers, to liaise with council and community in emergencies, such as bushfires, where we also commit to large and ongoing search and rescue efforts to locate fire-affected wildlife, which is a massive task. Also, the ongoing work of our network rescuing and rehabilitating injured or orphaned wildlife on a daily basis. What is your current role? Currently, I am vice president of the Australian Society for Kangaroos, a national organisation, and have been for the past eight years. Most of my time is now concentrated on raising awareness of the horrific cruelty involved in the culling/shooting of kangaroos under government permits on public and private land,

and the kangaroo industry. It’s something most Australians don’t know about. I didn’t, but was so appalled, I just had to do something about it. If people are outraged at the cruelty involved in greyhound racing, live exports, bashing of seals and whaling etcetera, then they should be equally outraged and concerned about what really happens to our kangaroos. People may recognise you from Neighbours. What’s your fondest memory from that time? Lots of memories, too many to list! It was an amazing time but my fondest memories are of the people I worked with, and the support we all gave each other because no-one expected it to be as huge as it was. Do you still act? I did take some years off due to a bad skin cancer on my face, but yes, I recently did some Winners and Losers – it aired a few weeks back. I am also currently working on some of my own projects for the future. What’s the best thing about Macedon Ranges? I love the country, the mountains, valleys, creeks and, of course, the incredibly diverse wildlife that lives here. I also love the sense of community. There are so many amazingly committed and dedicated volunteers doing all sorts of incredible work, it’s really very inspiring and heartening.

(Joe Mastroianni)

What’s your connection to Macedon Ranges? I grew up in Chewton near Castlemaine, so I have travelled up and down the Calder my whole life. I’ve always loved the area, and worked in the region for a number of years.

What would you change if you could? I wouldn’t change anything, that’s the thing! Let’s look after it, let’s try and keep the natural heritage of the area and protect our bush.

In a quiet neighbourhood with views of Mt Macedon, this freshly painted and renovated house on about 3177 square metres partners with a sleekly decorated, detached studio with adjoining double garage. The house has four bedrooms, three of which share a smartly updated bathroom with Caesarstone vanity unit; the main bedroom has an en suite, and all have wardrobes. The L-shaped lounge-dining room sits under a cathedral ceiling of painted boards and beams, and connects with a timeless kitchen with walk-in pantry. A rear sunroom, with adjoining storeroom, takes in garden views. An Arrow wood heater and split-system ensure climate control, while the grounds have established native gardens with mature trees, a tennis court and plenty of room for adding a big shed. Town and tank water are included, the roof and fencing are new, and the village is within a walk.

Equidistant from Trentham and Daylesford, this 1960s farmhouse sits on 1.21 productive hectares of ‘God’s own country’ where wine, good food, fresh produce and scenery are on the doorstep. The house hunkers down in its leafy setting and, with close to 20 squares of living space, it has plenty to offer a country-loving family. A large, open-plan living zone has a lounge area with fireplace, billiards room, meals area with wood heater, and a kitchen with ’80s timber-trimmed cream cabinetry, chocolate subway-tiled splashback, 900mm electric cooktop and dishwasher. The laundry incorporates a shower and second toilet. Four bedrooms (one very big with original ’60s robes/dressing table arrangement) share a bathroom with separate shower and tub. Pretty gardens have plenty of spots to pull up a pew, and there’s a carport, separate garage/workshop and 12x12-metre shed.

Summit Place, comprising about 5.22 hectares of undulating land – of which about 1.6 hectares are fenced and treed – was formerly an income-yielding protea farm. There are superb views and a classic, beautifully presented homestead-style residence reached via a circular driveway. There are two living zones – a carpeted lounge-dining room with bay window, and an expansive, slate-tiled family-meals area with wood heater. The updated kitchen has loads of blackwood soft-close joinery. Three bedrooms include the large main with built-in wardrobes and en suite. There’s also a study or fourth bedroom. A split-system and gas wall furnace ensure climate control. Outdoor features include verandahs, delightful gardens, five fenced paddocks, two dams, two water tanks, a double carport, powered sheds and stables – all within a short drive of schools and cafes.

Across the road from Romsey Recreation Reserve and around the corner from the primary school, this is a place likely to tempt a young family or retirees wanting to store their caravan on the side-accessed block of about 1600 square metres. The well-presented house has a carpeted lounge-dining room with a wood heater, and a north-facing family-meals space with split-system and gas (natural) heater. The galley-style kitchen has abundant storage, wall oven and dishwasher, and there’s a mud room to go with the laundry. Three large bedrooms, each with wardrobes, share a sparkling bathroom. Lots of storage is a feature and the extended double garage is integrated. A back verandah faces an enormous backyard dotted with trees and shrubs, and there’s space galore for adding a shed.

One of the mob of resident kangaroos was an escort on the trip down the long driveway when reviewing this fine property – well and truly buttressing the countrified credentials of its land of about 1.22 hectares. The ’roos, just as a family would, no doubt find the open “lifestyle” spaces, guarded on three side by dense cypress plantings, an appealing place to call home. A few well-fenced paddocks provide grazing, there’s a dam as watering hole that ponies, alpacas or other critters won’t mind sharing with the natives.

Private sale

The spacious, solidly built residence has a generous entry foyer where slate floor tiles begin. They continue into a sprawling living hub where an Archer wood heater and a wood nook are set in an exposed brick wall. Ducted heating and cooling are also on tap. The kitchen has the timeless appeal of blackwood cabinetry, black granite benchtops, cream splashback tiles, walk-in pantry, Bosch dishwasher and a 900-millimetre cooktop and wall oven. Double doors open from the hub to a beige-carpeted sitting room that has a wide bay window dressed in holland blinds. It’s

a space that could equally serve as formal dining or rumpus room. The main bedroom, off the entry foyer, has a bay window, TV connection, a fitted dressing room and a period-styled en suite with dual vanity basins, corner spa and enclosed toilet. Three more bedrooms (each with four-door wardrobes) are down a long, slate-tiled hallway, as is a kids’ lounge room/TV snug that could be a fifth bedroom. Sharing the hall are the blue-and-white main bathroom with a spa; a separate toilet; the laundry with

lots of storage and bench space; and double-garage access. A third bathroom is externally accessed from the back bullnose verandah. Along with the circular driveway at the front, there’s a second driveway to the property’s rear where a Colorbond shed is a handy inclusion – as is a 130,000-litre tank providing water to the house, the tank constantly supplemented with town water. A chook house, orchard, vegie garden and raspberry canes are further treats. Carole Levy

Mould is a wake-up call

‘‘

Minor signs of damp indicate a far more serious - David Hallett problem

’’

To rid your house of mould, use a household cleaner. Any sources of moisture, such as condensation, rising damp, leaking roofs and pipes, need to

(iStock)

If it looks strange and smells strange, then it probably is. If a room or enclosed space has a mouldy or musty smell and you can see dark staining on the walls or ceilings, it could be mould. Mould should not be taken lightly and can be a health hazard, triggering allergies, asthma and respiratory disorders, eye/nose/throat irritations and skin problems. Mould grows wherever it can find food and water, and can be caused by diverse factors, says David Hallett, Victorian state manager of Archicentre. “As food sources are abundant in buildings, mould growth generally indicates the presence of excess moisture, which may be due to leaking water pipes, flooding and condensation,” he said. Moulds are organisms that reproduce by releasing spores into the atmosphere, similar to mushrooms and other fungi. “Seventy per cent of mould problems are due to condensation coming from wet areas, like bathrooms and laundries, while 30 per cent come from rising damp, which may be evident in winter, but not always detectable in summer.” And mould isn’t only seen in old places. It’s also rearing its unwelcome head in newer abodes, where there’s a lack of adequate ventilation in washing and drying areas. “Even minor signs of damp indicate a far more serious problem, as rising damp can cause increased room humidity, encouraging vermin, such as cockroaches, silverfish and dust mites,” Mr Hallett says.

be repaired. Improving ventilation by opening windows can also help. “Repairing leaking plumbing or improving sub-floor ventilation can

help, but it’s wise to have a thorough assessment of the level of the rising damp and its damage to the building.” Source: www.archicentre.com.au

SPORT Too close for comfort, but Cannons are in the finals Calder Cannons held off a determined Western Jets to enter the TAC Cup finals on a winning note. It was a hard-fought slog at Highgate Reserve, both teams having to contend with a strong wind and, at times, rain. In a game where little separated either side, one team would kick a couple of goals in a row before the other responded. Scores were level in the dying minutes before a point by best-on-ground Ben Ronke put the Cannons in front. They were then able to find Jean-Luc Velissaris free and his conversion, and third goal, was the final major in the Cannons’ winning scoreline: 10.10 (70)-9.9 (63). Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said it was pleasing to see how his side responded to the Jets’ attacks. “At the end of the day, it’s about effort, not

whether you’ve got the talent; it’s about fighting it out, which our blokes did in the end,” he said. “In those conditions it’s always going to be a bit of a slog. So for our boys to dig in, especially when [the Jets] got their last goal to draw level, then get away with a win was pleasing.” The Cannons struggled early, being unable to get a clean ball into their forward line. Once they found time and space, they were rewarded, especially late in the match. “After the first half we spoke about not being clean with our ball use. If you’re clean and having some good contested ball, it gives you a chance to get the ball forward,” Johnston said. “We needed to be cleaner. I put the question to them at half-time about what they thought contested ball was. I think we were better in the second half.” Jack Hannett, Jacob Bygate and Lachlan Brown all debuted for the club.

The Cannons have this week off, before facing Oakleigh Chargers in an elimination final. After sharing the captaincy all season, Jaidyn Owen will lead the side during the finals campaign. Johnston says the team will likely get back Mitchell Lewis, Aidan Tilley and Liam Middleton for the finals, having missed Saturday’s win due to school football commitments. “We’ve earned the right to be in the finals. How far we go, only time will tell. “To at least get there and expose the 17-year-olds to the experience … it will be invaluable.” Tara Murray Calder Cannons’ Jackson McDonald is put under pressure to get the ball away.

Magpies take sixth spot By Tara Murray It was heartache for the finals hopes of Lancefield and Sunbury Kangaroos in the Riddell District Football League. The two sides entered the final round of the season, along with Wallan, all fighting for that sixth and last finals spot. But Wallan clinched the finals’ berth. All were equal on points, with percentage only separating them, so results and margins were important. The Magpies had the easiest match on paper, facing winless Rockbank. But they also had the lowest percentage entering the match. The Magpies were ruthless en route to their 49.28 (322)-4.8 (32) win against the hapless Rams. This saw their percentage jump nearly 24 per cent, pushing them above the Kangaroos, which had pulled off the upset of the season. Facing undefeated ladder-leader Diggers Rest, the Kangaroos had the hardest task of all three clubs. And they rose to the occasion, defeating the Burras, only to eventually miss out on finals anyway on percentage. The Kangaroos led at every break and held on to win 10.7 (67)-7.9 (51). Matt Welsh and Ryan Pretty kicked two goals a piece for the ‘Roos, with Mitch Streiff named best on ground. The Kangaroos were left rueing the loss of both points and percentage from their round one victory against Romsey. This had been stripped from the club after it fielded an ineligible player. If the club had kept this win, it would have played finals instead of Wallan. Lancefield had a disappointing final round to the season. It entered the round with the highest percentage of all three clubs and needed to beat Romsey to have any chance of sealing a spot. Instead their arch rival got one over them, with the Redbacks winning 13.6 (84)-11.4 (70). Redbacks’ Nathan Rayment kicked five goals in a best-on-ground performance. While three sides fought it out for sixth spot, Broadford won the battle for third over Riddell. The Kangaroos proved too good for Melton Centrals, to record their 12th win of the year and moved above Riddell, which slipped to fourth after a second successive loss. They will now face Rupertswood, which won on Saturday for the second week in a row. The sides will do battle in an elimination final this weekend. Broadford will play Wallan in the other elimination final, while Diggers Rest and Macedon will face off in the qualifying final.

Lions tune up with good win Sunbury Lions got a dress rehearsal for their Ballarat Football League elimination final – and they are hoping the real thing brings the same result. The Lions and Darley faced off in the final round of the season on Saturday, with the third-placed Lions coming out on top and extending their winning streak to six games. The Lions had a less then ideal start to the day, with skipper Andrew Duhau pulling out on the morning of the game. Ben McInneny pulled up sore in the warm-up, so Patrick MacDonough came into the side at the last minute after already playing in the reserves. The Lions started slowly but were a point in front at half-time. The game changed after the main break, with the Lions kicking 15 goals to six for a 20.13 (133)-11.10 (76) win. Lions coach Rick Horwood said he thought the side had one eye on finals in the first half, but was pleased with how the players stepped up after half-time. “We played a lot better in the second half, kicking eight goals in the third quarter,” he said. “There was a real even spread and the back seven were pretty good. Things are panning out well.” Jack Landt and Jesse McInneny kicked five goals each, while Alik Magin contributed four. Magin was named best on ground for the sixth week in a row. The Lions will face the Devils in an elimination final on Saturday, luck falling the Devils’ way with the final scheduled for their home ground. Horwood said they would have almost a full squad from which to pick. “Besides Jack Sheahan and James Rizk we have a full list,” he said. “Grant Valles, Duhau and McInneny should all be available.” The Lions have been knocked out in elimination finals in the past two years, the Devils doing the damage last year. “Finishing in third spot on the ladder, it’s a highly regarded spot,” Horwood said. “Hopefully, we play like we did in the second half this week. I’m pretty happy … not over-confident, but confident. “The young blokes have had the experience of the last two finals campaigns … they have the experience.”

Jets ride rocket home By Tara Murray Championship glory is within reach of the Sunbury Jets after they stormed into the Big V division 1 women’s grand final series. After an impressive game one in the best of three series against Mildura Heat, the Jets were even better on Saturday night, if that’s possible. Playing in front of a home crowd, the Jets led early and set the tone for the rest of the night. They extended the margin in every quarter, to win 86-57 and take the semi-finals series 2-0. Jets’ coach Kennedy Kereama said it was a pretty good performance against a side that has been up there for many years. “I think we are excited, but everyone’s pretty reserved,” he said. “They want to save it for when it counts. “We deserve to be there, based on our performances and consistency,” he said. Game two was a classic example of what the Jets have done so well this season. On the defensive end, they shut down Heat’s two main scoring options. Having restricted Big V legend Vanessa Power to 15 points in game one of the series, they completely shut her out of the match in game two, restricting her to just one point. “We kept the same match-ups from the first game,” Kereama said. “Emma [Mahady] went five from six from behind the line, and did a great job at the other end of the court as well. “Alli Gloyd scored 14 points, and Vanessa one point. Their support cast didn’t trouble us too much. “I think everyone made life hard, and it was great team defence. “It was everything we expected from the girls all season, and to have them still doing it at this point of the season is important.” At the other end of the court, the Jets shared the scoring around, with Jess Bygate, Mahady and Courtney Duever all reaching double figures. Monique Stevens, Alex Darby and Sharon Plichta also provided handy contributions, as every player got court time. The Jets now face Geelong in a best of three grand final series. It’s the first time the Jets have made the grand final since 2009. On that occasion, they lost 2-0 to a Werribee side led by Sharon Plichta. The Jets enter this grand finals hot favourites, having not lost a match all year. “I think, if we play our best basketball, I don’t think many teams can match us,” Kereama said. “Not sounding cocky, but if we play our best, we are hard to beat. The grand final doesn’t change anything for us, we see it as another game – business as usual. “We need to play to own expectations and standards.” The Jets will host game two, and game three if needed on September 3 and 4.

Badminton brings out best Competitors travelled from across Australia for a morning of badminton at Sunbury Ladies Badminton annual tournament earlier this month. The tournament at Boardman Stadium attracted more than 60 women for a morning of fun, exercise and some light-hearted competition. Regular Sunbury players were joined by counterparts from Queensland, Charlton, Bendigo and Geelong, as well as surrounding areas. Competitions were played across eight courts, with each court having a winner and runner up. Fiona Carroll defeated Bronwyn Pokorzynski, Donna Nowlan was too good for Claire Cherubin, Lyzza Thomson beat Heather McInualty, Wendy McKenzie defeated Lina Wu, Carol Dodiles beat Vicky Franks, Sandy Peterson, was the winner over Siobhan McGrory, Nancy Zhao beat Louise Bell, and Flora Whittingham was too good for new Sunbury player Claire Tarr. The club’s Cheryl Ward said the event had been very successful, and players stayed around for lunch and a chat afterwards. She said the club had been supported in a number of raffles, with goods donated by local businesses including Masters, Chemist Warehouse, Country Style and O’Shannassy meats. The club, which has been going for more than 30 years, is also looking for new players, both for social and competition badminton. “Beginners are most welcome, and we have racquets and basic coaching available,” Ward says. “Competition is on Mondays, while on Thursdays it’s more social with different levels on each court.” Racquets, basic coaching and child minding facilities are available.

Sunbury’s Bygate back with Boomers Sunbury Jets’ Jess Bygate will get a second crack at the Women’s National Basketball League after signing with the Melbourne Boomers. Bygate, who spent last season with the Adelaide Lightning, was last week announced as one of the Boomers’ final signings for the coming season. The New Zealand international is thrilled to get a second chance at playing in one of the world’s premier competitions. “I was basically invited to try out for the development team and they dangled the carrot that there could possibly be one or two spots available on the senior list,” she said. “I went through a trial process, a three-phase trial. They cut people at the end of each one and I was lucky to get selected. “The WNBL is such a competitive league, and with the guidance of Guy Molloy and the Boomers’ coaching staff I hope to develop my game and play with some of the best in the business.”

The 23-year-old knows her time playing with the Lightning and the Tall Ferns will hold her in good stead. Last season, she averaged 3.3 points and 1.7 rebounds per game for the Lightning and, early on, was named in the starting five. Since the season ended, Bygate has spent most of her time on the basketball court. “I know what to expect going into this season and want do so much more, including all the hard work to be part of the WNBL,” she said. “I’ve been involved in a lot of basketball since the last WNBL season. I played with New Zealand then with Sunbury. The last six months I’ve continued to improve.” It’s been an up and down six months, though, with Bygate missing out on selection for the Tall Ferns Olympic qualifiers and suffering a knee injury in her second game for the Jets. Since returning from New Zealand midseason, Bygate has found form with the Jets and helped them reach the grand final.

She’s been a key part of the Jets’ line-up this season, averaging nearly 10 points and five rebounds. “It was a tough beginning when I injured my knee in the second game,” she said. “It was about getting that right, and we have great girls in the team who can still get the job done. “Kennedy [Kereama] understood that resting my knee was beneficial for me to be fit at this time of the year. “We have the dream of going through undefeated and winning the championship. It’s getting closer and closer.” Tara Murray

Thunder wonderkid bags a ton for the season At the age of 19, East Sunbury’s Jaxon Mobilio has joined the 100 goals in a season club. Playing in Essendon District Football League’s division 2 under-18.5s competition, Mobilio kicked his 100th goal in the final game of the regular season. Going into the game having kicked 86 goals, Mobilio didn’t think he was a chance of getting to the 100 mark. Luck went the Thunder’s way, with Westmeadows just one player off having to forfeit the match. “I walked in and thought I would kick a few goals and maybe have a bit of fun,” Mobilio said. “All the boys kept kicking it to me and I still didn’t think I would get it.” He said that when he had five goals at quarter-time, coach Daryl Cartwright urged the Thunder players to make him their target. “I had 10 at half-time and kicked the four in the third quarter,” he said.

Once the milestone was out of the way, the focus went back on the game, which the Thunder won by 260 points. “Once I got it, Daryl brought it in and the focus was all on finals and structures,” Mobilio said. “I sat on the bench for a while after it – I was knackered.” The 100-goal achievement comes despite missing five matches through other sides forfeiting and playing three matches in the East Sunbury seniors. He kicked four goals in the senior matches. Mobilio was quick to praise his teammates for the role they played in helping him reach the milestone. “Over the off-season, they did a lot of recruiting and picked up a lot of players,” he said. “A lot of effort has gone into being on the track. “Last year, I kicked a lot [63 goals], but this year the team really clicked.”

Among his teammates this season is his brother Corey Mobilio, who moved across from Sunbury Lions. “I had been at Lions, but we played all our junior football here [East Sunbury],” he said. “My mates decided to get an under-18s team running at East Sunbury and I came back to play. Corey came across this year.” Mobilio, who plays more a half-forward or forward flank role and prefers to kick running goals, says the focus remains where it has always been this season – on winning a premiership. The Thunder went through the regular season undefeated before losing their semi-final to East Keilor by 10 points on Saturday. The Thunder will play Roxburgh Park this weekend in the preliminary final. “I’ve said it before – I would trade it all in for a premiership,” Mobilio said. Tara Murray

Too far to claw back

Sports shorts Bendigo FL

Gisborne scored its third win of the Bendigo Football League season, by 26 points over Maryborough on Saturday. The Bulldogs set the win up in the first half, and held the Magpies in the second half, to win, 17.9 (111)-13.7 (85). Skipper Jarrad Lynch kicked four goals, while Pat Trotta was best on ground. Kyneton suffered a 15.16 (106)-3.10 (28) loss to Golden Square.

By Tara Murray Lancefield is rueing a poor first quarter against Romsey that left its Riddell District Netball League finals hopes in tatters. The Tigers needed a win in the final round to finish in sixth position and hold off Diggers Rest, but they got off to the worst possible start. A 17-6 first quarter in favour of the Redbacks meant the Tigers had a lot of hard work ahead. They won both the second and third quarters to reduce the margin to four goals at the last break. Scores were level late in the final term as the sides went goal for goal. When the final siren went, the Redbacks were in front, 48-47. Tigers coach Alan Watson said the result summed up their season. “It was always going to be hard after a bad first quarter,” he said. “We didn’t play well and gave up a sizeable lead. “I kept saying to them they had to try and win every quarter after that. “We got level, but they ended up being in front when the siren went. If it had gone a couple more minutes I think we would have won.” Watson said it was frustrating to get so close to the win and, ultimately, finals. “We had our opportunities. “We had 11 players to choose from and we kept rotating until we found the right combinations.” After making finals last season, the Tigers looked at adding more talent to the side and brought in Victorian Netball League players. Watson said that in hindsight they probably brought in too many players, unsettling the group. “A lot of weeks we had four or five players out due to VNL,” he said. “In those games we had players who didn’t know each other, let alone played with each other. “After they had played together we were competitive. I’m sure we would have finished top four if we’d had them every week.” Diggers Rest benefited from the Tigers’ loss, moving into sixth place with a win against Sunbury Kangaroos. For a second week straight, it was shown how close the top three sides were, with Riddell and Rupertswood separated by just one goal. Macedon beat Rupertswood by the same margin last week. The Cats, who beat Woodend-Hesket, move into second spot and will play Riddell this weekend in a qualifying final. The Sharks, who have slipped from first to third in the past two weeks, will play Diggers Rest. Romsey will play Melton Centrals in the other elimination final.

Ballarat NL

Sunbury Lions suffered an upset loss in the final round of the Ballarat Netball League. The Lions needed a win to finish third, but lost to Darley 43-31. Lauren Woodgate and Alex Maher scored 11 goals a piece in the loss. A Lake Wendouree win against Bacchus Marsh saw the Lakers move above the Lions on the ladder on percentage.
