Call for change of date THE passing of another Australia Day public holiday on Friday 26 January was marked across the Mornington Peninsula by private gatherings of friends, backyard barbecues and a few flag raising ceremonies, but none specifically held by Mornington Peninsula Shire. However, flags were raised at events part-sponsored by the shire. The shire held an afternoon invitation-only citizenship ceremony in Rosebud’s Memorial Hall. At Hastings, the national flag was flown at half mast during a Change the Date event, although not at the direction of the event’s organisers, the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association. “Aboriginal community members and non-Indigenous allies advocated for an alternative date to be chosen for Australia’s national day of celebration, one that was inclusive for all,” the association’s CEO Peter Aldenhoven, left, said. “The consistent message from all speakers at the event [in Pound Road] was that a date celebrating the arrival of the First Fleet and portending all the damaging consequences of colonisation for First Nations’ Peoples must be changed. “Many elders spoke of their sadness and pain on this day and many non-Indigenous allies, including [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors Despi O’Connor and Sarah Race empathised with this heartfelt call for change.” SEVEN-year-old Obi, from Balnarring, noticed the difference in flag heights during Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association’s Change the Date event at Hastings.

Potter sequel at the ballot box Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au WHILE Mornington Peninsula Shire might make box office money from allowing The Briars wildlife sanctuary to be used as a stage and backdrop for a Harry Potter show, it may cost councillors at the ballot box in October. With the Potter shows running from April to July, opponents of the shows are out for revenge and vowing to make sure the nightly shows remain fresh in voters’ memories. The Mornington Peninsula branch of The Greens is organising for protesters to attend the council’s Tuesday 6 February public meeting at Rosebud. The Greens also wants more infor-

mation on the deal, reminding councillors of their recent and repeated commitments to “transparency”. It is understood some councillors have been scrambling to find a way out of the contract but are hampered by fear of costly legal action. “Due to confidentiality obligations, we are unable to discuss the financial aspects of this event at this time,” the mayor Cr Simon Brooks told The News. Without disclosing any details of the financial deal, the shire has stated that it is “excited to have partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Fever and IMG to present Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience”. The shire’s website appears to be part of a

marketing plan, providing online links to ticket sellers. The shire’s Lobbying Policy, in part, states that its purpose is “to promote trust in the integrity of council processes and to ensure that lobbying is fair and does not undermine public confidence in impartial, open and transparent decision making”. “The transparency of council decisions, actions and information is to be ensured.” The shire’s claims that “the footprint of the event is roughly one per cent of the total Briars area and seven per cent of the sanctuary” may also be misleading. While the measurements might encompass the tracks to be trodden by the “audience”, no mention is made of the distance that the sounds

and lights of the show will travel. “The event will unlock significant lasting benefits, both for The Briars and the Mornington Peninsula more broadly,” the shire states on its website. It estimates “economic benefits to the broader region … in the order of $25 - $35 million”. “We care deeply about the peninsula’s wildlife and are committed to its welfare. That’s why we created a wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. We are confident measures we are putting in place will minimise any impact the event may have on wildlife.” A Deakin University-based research team believes the Potter show’s lights and artificial noises “has considerable potential to cause significant impacts on powerful owls (Ninox strenua) and

other wildlife”. The team’s two years of research has found a pair of endangered powerful owls “call The Briars home” and that they are “completely reliant on habitat within The Briars park”. “This particular territorial pair also happen to have successfully used an artificial nest box to breed the last couple of breeding seasons, which is an extremely rare circumstance” The powerful owls’ breeding season coincides with the Potter season and the research team says the use of a nesting box by the owls at The Briars “suggests that this pair are already under great stress from reduced critical habitat options and their use of a nest box must be treated with extra sensitivity considerations”.

THE Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has members from business and not-for-profit groups. Picture: Supplied

Hear candidates over breakfast TWO of the candidates for the Saturday 2 March Dunkley byelection will speak at the next breakfast meeting of the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula on Thursday 1 February. The meeting from 7.30am at Commonfolk Mornington will be the second breakfast meeting for the newly merged group, which provides “strategic leadership, advocacy and influence to help attract government support and investment in the regions”. The two Dunkley candidates are Labor’s Jodie Belyea and Liberal Nathan

Conroy, the mayor of Frankston. CEO Josh Sinclair said the committee’s new not-for-profit member, Fusion Mornington Peninsula, will make a presentation about youth homelessness in the region. Fusion provides accommodation and support for young people experiencing homelessness between the ages of 15 and 21. “They have a special presence in our Frankston and Mornington Peninsula community, and the committee will be supporting Fusion where we can throughout the course of this year,”

Sinclair said. The event will provide an important opportunity for businesses and community leaders to learn more about Fusion’s work and what the community can all do to support their efforts. Sinclair said the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula was planning a full calendar of meets for 2024, including a Future Forum on 16 April to discuss with industry and civic leaders what Frankston and the peninsula “looks like” in two decades time.

Cricket club scores a century and a half FLINDERS Cricket Club will celebrate its 150th birthday on the weekend of 17 and 18 of February with a special round of matches, cocktail party and a family day. Mornington Cricket Club is the only club on the Mornington Peninsula that can boast about being older, having been founded in 1863. On Saturday, the seniors will be at home for the second match of the day with longtime adversary Balnarring. During the evening teams of six decades will be announced, culminating in the unveiling of a champion team. Flinders Cricket Club owes it origins to the Eastern Extension Cable Company, which made a link between the mainland and Launceston. This was completed in 1869 and employed a number of Englishmen who missed playing cricket. In 1874 the club was born, playing its first games where the 13th green on what is now Flinders Golf Course. John Barker jnr and his brother Richard were the first two presidents, and owned the land on which the early games were played. Descendants of their families and of other founding families will be attending over the weekend. A family day on Sunday 18 February will round out the weekend when the women’s team will show its skills. This will allow members and visitors to view an historical display in the clubrooms and will be an opportunity for team recipients or their representatives to receive their pennants if they cannot attend the previous evening. The club has already announced a team which encompasses the period between the beginning of the Southern Peninsula Cricket (SPCA) in

1922/23 and the start of World War II. That team consists of Bill Matthews, George Smith MBE, Herbert and Albert Cairns, Neil Challis, Yanna Mirabella, Bruce Bennett, Alf Murray, Gordon Inglis, Charles Delaney, Walter Cleave and Sir John Holland. A second SPCA which started with the resumption of cricket in 1947/48 and finished with the merger of the SPCA and its northern counterpart in 1965 to form the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association (MPCA) has also been selected. Members are Matt Edwards, Harold Smith, Keith Buchanan, John Lawson, Grahan Peck, Kevin Torney, Russell Cairns, Tom Lamb, Len Moon, Don Milligan, Peter Patterson and Stewart Bartel. The first decade team starts with the formation of the MPCA in 1965 and runs until 1975. Subsequent teams follow this pattern embracing the 2023/34 season. Former Australian player Shaun Graf and former MPCA general manager Jason Nagle will host the festivities. For more details call Clint Munday on 0404 359 506 or the president Dwayne Field on 0417 392 900.

Scones are back THE Scones on Hastings events restart this year at 10am on 2 February. All are welcome. The scones mornings have been held each month at Hastings Bowls Club since December 2021 and include morning Devonshire teas and coffee to help bring people together. It costs $2 for tea or coffee and scones with jam and cream with profits being donated to help students at Hastings and Wallaroo primary schools and Western Port Community House.

Strength from sadness helps others Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

QUINN Story was a happy youngster whose death year’s later at The Pillars, Mount Martha, was the catalyst for Mornington mother Monique Story to reach out to other young people. Picture: Supplied

IT IS impossible for most of us to imagine anything more painful than losing two children in their prime, but for one mother, reaching out to others has given her the strength to honour her sons and turn her grief into something positive. For Monique Story, the experience of losing her beloved son Quinn in 2021 at 16, and then a couple of years later her older son Hunter at almost 23, was paralysing. But inspiringly, that pain became the Mornington mum’s motivation to make sure young people struggling to fit in, or struggling to navigate the world in general, were supported in their journey. Story says the challenges of understanding who they are and where their future lies can be suffocating for young people, add to that the experience of COVID lockdowns, school stresses and mental health, and you have a crisis. Her much-loved, vibrant and intelligent son Quinn drowned at The Pillars in Mount Martha in 2021. A Coroner’s report in mid-2023 confirmed his death as being accidental but left many unanswered questions. Meanwhile, rather than letting herself be swept away with grief, Story focused on ways to help others. She started Quinn’s Place, a “hang out” space for young people to meet friends. There are activities - X-box and computers, free entertainment, chess, and free food and refreshments from local businesses - but there is also no obligation, some young people just “chill”, play computer games or jam on donated musical instruments. “I started this place because I know that young people often feel like they don’t fit in,

like they have no place to go, and they become isolated, unsupported and anxious, but when they come here there are people to talk to, no judgements, and plenty of do,” Story said. While still mourning her younger son, Story’s grief was compounded last year with the death of Quinn’s older brother, Hunter. Hunter had been taking medication for bipolar disorder but, after deciding he didn’t need it anymore, his depression and erratic behaviour returned, and he lost the battle with his demons and the will to live. Story is now more determined than ever that Quinn’s Place remains an inclusive, welcoming and supportive place for young people. “We get young people who find it hard to talk to people, or just want some space from the world, and that’s fine, but I do find that after a while they often come out of their shell enough to make friends and feel comfortable,” she said. “That’s what I love to see, I’ve seen kids blossom, and that’s what tells me that young people need support and when they get that support, they can shine. “Sometimes it has taken a lot of courage for them to actually walk in the door, but because of the friendly, relaxed vibe, they usually come back.” As another way of dealing with her grief and helping others, Story has published a book, The Quinn Story, a brave and honest account of Quinn’s battle with PTSD, peer pressure, the trials of being a teenager, and psychosis. It is available at Farrell’s book store in Main Street, Mornington, and Wickety Wax in Mornington. Quinn’s Place has been closed for the summer break, but opens again on Friday 2 February, at 8 Drake Street, Mornington, from 6pm to 10pm.

Shame councillors As the secretary and active member of the Mornington Peninsula Schools Environment Week for many years, I would like to add my expression of alarm and absolute amazement at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s recent deal with Warner Brother’s Harry Potter Show at The Briars. The current shire councillors have totally disregarded the claim to be an environmentally sensitive council and certainly lack credibility now when it comes to promoting the peninsula as an environmental model in Victoria. What were they thinking when they signed this secret agreement? It has to be related to money grabbing or some grand idea that it would be promoting our shire. The Briars is a special asset for the peninsula and the natural setting as such should be preserved. Our Environment Week teachers and many voluntary helpers were so pleased and proud to be able to run the activities at a special location like The Briars. Over the years we helped students from all schools on the peninsula who benefitted from the many experiences during Environment Week in such a setting. At the time our shire representatives were very involved in the program and appreciated our efforts to promote environmental awareness in the wider community. Our councillors, as a whole, should be ashamed of themselves over this issue and let us hope that they will be more thoughtful when next confronted with an issue that involves a commercial venture conflicting with environmental issues. Terry Boyce, Mount Martha

Review revenue A few months ago, quite rightly, and with considerable community support, Mornington Peninsula Shire rejected an application to develop a theme park on private property in the hinterland near Cape Schanck on Boneo Road as being inappropriate. In complete contrast, we find the shire, in sworn secrecy behind closed doors, last year agreed to multiple sound and light show night events in the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. Apparently, it

was thought pathways through a fenced off forest setting would be an ideal location. This council-approved event will go on every night for two months from April with expected numbers of around 3000 a night. Terrified wildlife which can die from fear, traffic jams at the dangerous Point Nepean/Uralla Road intersection, soil compaction which takes years to recover, are all inevitable - not to mention the nightly disturbance to locals living around The Briars and their equally traumatised pets. Whether you are a rare powerful owl, a wallaby or an elderly retiree in the neighbourhood with a shitzu scared of thunderstorms - fancy having a New Year’s Eve fireworks and light show going off every night for 60 days? The community and many volunteers worked for years in good faith to establish The Briars as a wildlife sanctuary. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money was spent on consultants for a management plan and a financial feasibility study - both presumably in operation but now disregarded. Understandably, this decision is a slap in the face. If the shire is in financial trouble, a review of internal operations, pay rates commensurate with performance, contracts and decisions about spending our rates dollars is warranted – not a money grabbing, opportunistic fire sale of a unique and important wildlife sanctuary and community asset like The Briars. Esther Gleixner, Flinders

Turn to safety It has taken the Briars Potter show to again highlight the urgent need for improvement at the dangerous intersections of Nepean Highway with Uralla Road and Forest Drive, Mount Martha (Road risks warning over Potter shows. The News 23/1/24). Where is the sensible thought or concern by the state government and or Mornington Peninsula Shire? Do we need fatalities, statistics, to have something seriously done? More than five to six years ago a survey was undertaken by the authorities asking for input to formulate a strategy to improve these intersec-

tions. Nothing has happened - maybe a few white lines were painted at the time. That was progress. As for the Uralla Road and The Briars intersections, if only left turns out of these roads were implemented, with some nailed in place kerbs to prevent right turns, this would alleviate gross and dangerous incidents. Still allow right turns from Nepean Highway into these roads. Some delineation with kerbing, as these intersections both ways are at the bottom of quite steep hills change the speed limit to 60kpm, and actively enforce it. None of the above is hard to do or costs a lot of money. I firmly believe it will make those area safer until a more permanent solution is implemented which, at the current authorities’ pace, could be light years away. Do it now. The inconvenience of only being able to turn left is a very small imposition to making an intersection safe. Gerard van de Ven, Mount Martha

Parking revenue So now we have to pay to enjoy some time at Mornington Park and at the pier (Fines find their mark at foreshore car parks, The News 23/1/24). Some people are paying but many are going elsewhere. The bus loads that came to the area for a day out and bring business to the Main Street shops won’t happen anymore as buses have to pay as well, and the driver will have to pay for that out of his own pocket. Over the months of December and January, $178,000 in fees and $20,000 in fines have been collected. Where will this money go? Here’s an idea: Put all this cash towards a set of traffic lights so people can enter and exit The Briars without playing the dangerous game of Russian roulette from cars coming down the hill from both directi ons. Greg Cooke, Hastings

Mornington Peninsula roads safer, there has been much public support and many reports to me about our most dangerous local roads (Don’t limit speed cuts - Gill, The News 16/1/24). The answer to improving roads may be a community advocacy campaign to the state government and local MPs who ignore any discussion about speed limits and roadwork funding, especially when in government. All public roads are controlled by the state government, even council designated roads. Council must have government approval for speed changes and all works. This often takes years. In the meantime, the state’s 2023 road death toll was the highest in 15 years. David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council

Poo result I’ve seen this many times. Some dog walkers pick up their dog’s poo in a plastic bag. Considerate. Good. But they drop the bag beside the path. Why? Do they think there’s a dog poo fairy who picks it up later? I suggest they train the dog to put the bag in the bin. Why do I write this? Dunno. Will they read it? Nope. Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

‘Slow learners’ What an interesting article quoting Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway on battlers struggling to pay fines (Unpaid fines add to ‘disadvantaged’ fines, The News 16/1/24). The quoted “average fine debt” is $13,000. This equates to exceeding the speed limit on 34 occasions and, I believe, gives the lie to Ms Galloway’s claim that her clients “want to do the right thing”. The time to do the right thing is when you’re behind the wheel. Doing the right thing is not endangering others, not putting lives at risk, not imperilling kids on bikes. PCLC’s clients must be mighty slow learners if they don’t get the message after the first couple of fines. Do the crime, pay the fine. Andrew Gibson OAM, Pt Leo

AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR

TEN, 7.30pm

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

For its ninth season, Australian Survivor is back in Samoa, after two instalments filmed domestically, and heading back to its roots. You will not have spied a famous face in either of the two tribes, with 24 brand new players and “ordinary, everyday Australians” making up the Titans and Rebels. The Titans are overachievers and leaders in their field while the Rebels are those used to forging their own paths, who aren’t scared of breaking a rule or two. Host Jonathan LaPaglia (pictured) is again guiding the players through challenges and tribal councils, while, back at camp they are creating alliances, while individually aiming to “outwit, outplay and outlast” the others.

ABC TV, 7.35pm

Can you believe Gardening Australia will be celebrating its 35th season this year? A staple of the ABC’s Friday night lineup, the infectious energy and glorious beard of host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) has ensured the past few seasons have been among the very best of the show, with a successful spin-off for kids (Gardening Australia Junior) launched last year. Season 35 kicks off with Costa heading north to tour the grounds of Queensland’s incredibly popular Woodford Folk Festival.

SATURDAY

DARBY AND JOAN

ABC TV, 7.30pm

As laconic and laidback as a mystery series could be, Darby and Joan has proven a tremendous showcase for stars Bryan Brown (pictured) and Greta Scacchi, who play retired detective Jack Darby and English nurse Joan Kirkhope. The pair join forces to solve a range of baffling small town mysteries in rural Queensland. Tonight, even a fun occasion like New Year’s Eve turns into a crime to solve for Jack and Joan when a huge blaze breaks out in a pub.

SATURDAY

THE FIFTH ELEMENT

NITV, 8.30pm

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Overhanging trees on road a danger to traffic Compiled by Cameron McCullough “SAFETY first,” is what Mr. M. Jacobs, cab proprietor, believes in. The remark originated owing to the question of cutting the overhanging trees. The matter will come up for discussion probably at the next meeting of the Council. Yesterday Mr. Morris Jacobs, the well known Frankston cab proprietor, called at “The Standard” office and invited the Editor to spare 10 minutes to take a drive along Melbourne Road. Mr. Jacobs’ request was not prompted by anxiety to give the Editor a “breather” from the grind of office routine. He simply wished to demonstrate that cause existed for the complaint he has been voicing for some months past, that the scrub overhanging the highway in question renders vehicular traffic unsafe, and constituted a menace to the general public. Mr. Jacobs was driving his large covered-in cab, and after passing the Honor Avenue, it soon became evident, from a position on the front scat, that the encroaching scrub in places badly required attention. The limbs of some of the trees overhung the road to such an extent that it was impossible to drive Mr. Jacobs’ high-hooded vehicle on that particular side of the road. Mr. Jacobs stated that very frequently he found himself placed in a very awkward and dangerous position owing to the motor traffic. The approaching motorists expected him to give them their fair share of the road, and it was not always possible to do so, owing to overhanging trees. The hood of his vehicle bore many

signs of rough usage, caused by contact with ti-tree. A dangerous spot on the Frankston side of Mile Bridge was noticed where the scrub obscures a proper view of the road. Another dangerous point exists at the junction of Gould Street and the main road. While traversing Gould Street Mr. Jacobs was fortunate enough to meet Cr. Mason, who was out with his motor car. Cr. Mason, while promising to bring Mr. Jacobs’ complaints before the Council, warned him that there would probably be strong opposition on the part of the residents to any proposal to cut back the ti-tree in Gould Street. Mr. Jacobs said that the motor traffic in Gould Street, particularly on Saturdays, was heavy, and the narrow roadway, and vehicles passing at certain points, did so only at the risk of serious accident. Mr. Jacobs indicated that his motto was “safety first,” and he was not at all pleased that the Shire Engineer – to whom he had complained – had not taken action to remove many of the overhanging trees. From what Cr. Mason said, the matter of cutting back the trees will come up for discussion at the next Council meeting. *** MR. Murray, contractor for the fine additions to the Frankston School, was unable to have the rooms ready for occupation at the beginning of the school year. The delay was due to a shortage of special materials, over which Mr. Murray had, no control.

It is expected that the building will be completed early next week. *** AT the Frankston school assembly, after the holidays, the head-master presented the prizes donated by Mr. Robert Fairnie, for dux of grade 6, to Miss Clara Holt. These consisted of a fine gold medal brooch and a valuable Morocco bound volume of A. L. Gordon’s poems. Hearty cheers were given for Mr. Fairnie for his liberality and public spirit, and to the clever winner. *** IT is with deep regret that we as certain that our highly esteemed citizen and friend, Captain S. Sherlock, J.P., recently met with a very serious accident. He had been attending a sick horse, which was well on the road to recovery, when by some means or other the worthy vet received a severe kick, which was both painful and dangerous. We understand, however, that he is making good progress towards recovery. This paper extends its sympathy to him, and prays for his speedy recovery, as we know do all those with whom the kindly disposed gentleman comes in contact. *** THE many friends of Mr. Tom Lawrey, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, will be sorry to hear that he has been suffering from a very severe attack of ptomaine poisoning. We understand, however, that the worst has been passed, and that he is now on the mend. We wish him a speedy restoration to health.

*** DR. Torpy, of Brisbane, who is on a visit to Victoria, visited Frankston this week. In conversation with a friend, whom he met here, he declared that before leaving Queensland he had been told to make a special trip to the “Fernery,” at Frankston, whilst in Victoria, as it was certainly worth while. Therefore, added the doctor, I came, and am indeed delighted at having done so. As my friend correctly said, the visit was worth while. *** MR. and Mrs. W. Cattanach have been staying at the Tower Golf House, Frankston, have now returned to their home. *** VISCOUNT Leverhulme, of Lever Bros. Ltd., England, who is at present visiting Melbourne, was one of the guests at the “Fernery” on Monday last, on the occasion of the annual picnic of the office staff of J. Kitchen and Sons, Melbourne. The distinguished visitor was loud in his praises of the beautiful surroundings, which even the inclement weather could not mar. *** A DEPUTATION from the Frankston Shire Council waited upon the Chair man of the Railway Commissioners today, to endeavour to get some relief for the passengers who travel by the 5.50 p.m. down train, a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** DURING the rain storm on Saturday a large iron tank, on the premises of Mr. W. H. O’Grady, burst with a loud explosion. Fortunately no one was near it at the

time, and the only damage done was to the tank and its immediate surroundings. *** ON Monday last people about the Mornington Road were startled by the sound of a loud report, and in these days of unusual happenings, they at once wondered what had occurred. However, upon inquiries being made, it turned out to be nothing worse than a bad blow out of someone’s back tyre. *** A DEPUTATION from the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council waited upon the Minister for Water Supply today, with the object of getting some modification of the load borne by the settlers on the Carrum Swamp. At the time of going to press no report had come through, and it will therefore have to be held over for our Friday’s issue. *** FRIENDS of the Ragged Boys’ Home on Oliver’s Hill will, learn with delight that Mr. Minton has received a great gift towards his work, which will enable him to build one dormitory.

PROVINCIAL

A MATCH-winning century from Simon Dart proved the difference as Red Hill wrapped up a thrilling final over victory last weekend. Red Hill played Baden Powell at Red Hill Recreation Reserve in oneday cricket. The visitors were sent in to bat first, and put 215 runs on the board. A knock of 91 from 88 deliveries by Rhys Elmi was the highlight of Baden Powell’s innings. Opener Travis Kellerman also scored 66 from 87 before being dismissed by Dart. After Red Hill fell to 2/33, Simon Dart came in and dominated. He scored an unbeaten 106 at a run a ball. Time was working against Red Hill, but they managed to stay in contention. A late knock of 34 from 24 by Glenn Collett and a boundary by vicecaptain Brent Martin helped drag them to victory. Red Hill hit the winning runs with just one ball left to spare. Langwarrin’s 168 runs proved enough to beat Heatherhill last weekend. Heatherhill’s run chase got off to a poor start when opener Neil Barfuss was dismissed for a golden duck. The wickets of the top three batters were taken off the bowling of Trav Campbell. After 40 overs Heatherhill ended up on 8/150. Sorrento scored a 28 run win at home against Pines on Sunday. Old

101 deliveries and first drop batter Wilson scored 124 from 98. Dromana scored 259 from their 40 overs. The Tigers were valiant in defeat. They managed to put 207 runs on the board, but were eventually bowled out. Bobby Wilson backed up his batting with figures of 3/28. Somerville were dominant nine-

A BRAVE knock of 91 by Blake Hogan-Keogh wasn’t quite enough for his Crib Point side to get the win over Carrum. Carrum batted first on Sunday and made a big impact. Off the back of half-centuries from openers Josh Dent and Shaun Foster, Carrum went on to score 3/223. Crib Point worked hard, but couldn’t complete the run chase. Blake HoganKeogh and Tyler Wilton did their best, but ended up falling 38 runs short. Carrum Downs bowled brilliantly to defend a total of 158 on Sunday. The Cougars bowled Balnarring out for 92. Around the grounds, Seaford were

seven-wicket winners over Flinders at RF Miles Reserve and Main Ridge bested Delacombe Park at Ditterich Reserve.

They wrapped up the win by bowling Boneo out for 144. Mt Martha took just 17 overs to chase down Frankston YCW’s target of 113 last weekend.

Hastings beat Pearcedale by 53 runs away from home to close out the round.

Major makeover at Monterey SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie IT’S the largest senior squad makeover on the peninsula and the Donn Delaney revolution at Frankston Pines continues apace. The former Peninsula Strikers head man has confronted a huge player exodus at Monterey Reserve and has responded with a recruitment drive the size of which is rarely seen in local ranks. So far 19 players from other clubs have been brought into the senior squad and there will be more. “The squad is by no means finalised,” Delaney said. “But I’ve been really impressed so far and the club has been very welcoming and inclusive of everyone who has come here. “Lee (Davies, club president) is very keen to start something sustainable and community focused and it’s a joy to be a part of it. “I’m feeling the pressure to do this club proud.” One of Delaney’s biggest signings so far is 23-year-old striker Ardi Ahmeti who has an impressive NPL background at both junior and senior levels. His CV outlines his four seasons as a junior with South Melbourne. Of Kosovan background Ahmeti has trained with the Kosovan under16s and in his late teens went to Portugal where he signed a contract with AD Oliveirense. A loan spell with FC Boca Gibraltar followed until COVID hit prompting his return to Australia. He signed a one-year deal with Eastern Lions before stints with Dandenong City and North Sunshine Eagles. Ahmeti took time off from the sport to go on holiday last year until close friend Deniz Karabadzak convinced him to give Pines a try. “I was sceptical at first because I didn’t think Pines was in a good position as a club but I trust Deniz and he explained that there was a good environment there and there were good people at the club which is the most important thing. “I went down there and from the first session I liked it.” So much so that Ahmeti convinced goalkeeper Kadir Puric, defender Alan Fogel and midfielder Mehdi Hussaini to join him at Monterey Reserve. Hussaini, 27, was with Rowville Eagles last season having previously played with Brandon Park and Hume United.

And for Pines fans wondering how the club will fare following last season’s relegation to State 3 Ahmeti has very encouraging news. “I have full belief that this club can get promoted and I have full belief in Donn,” Ahmeti said. “I think we only need a couple more recruits then what happens this season will be in our own hands but I’m very confident that we can do well.” Here is the current senior squad (new players have their most recent club in brackets): GOALKEEPERS: Kadir Puric (Waverley Wanderers), Enzo Spinelli (Mount Eliza). DEFENDERS: Marcelo Burgos (Keysborough), Deniz Karabadjak, Brody Varas, Alexis Andrade (Alianza Petrolera FC, Colombia), Alan Fogel (Port Melbourne Sharks), Bryce Ruthven (Mount Eliza), Tom Kandilas (Kingston City), Gabrielle Duque, Joshua Koncha. MIDFIELDERS: Calvin Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Samuel Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Callum Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), David Popa (Mount Eliza), Yodish Jagatheson (Mount Eliza), Jack Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), Junior Mpota (Peninsula Strikers), Reshad Nahimzada (Mazenod), Medhi Hus-

saini (Rowville Eagles). FORWARDS: Cassius Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Abraham Koul (Peninsula Strikers), Ardi Ahmeti (North Sunshine Eagles). Pines lost 3-1 to Chelsea at Monterey Reserve last week as the State 4 visitors continued their impressive pre-season form. Ahmeti and a few of his teammates were recovering from injury and sat this one out as Chelsea’s English striker James Stinson continued to impress with another double. He’s now scored five goals in three pre-season games. Jake Ross, another recent recruit, also scored against Pines who replied through Sam Delaney. Teenage Chelsea winger Kirsten Murray really caught the eye. A product of the club’s junior program Murray played wide on the right and was effective. “He’s only 16 and he’s got tremendous pace,” Chelsea head coach Gus Macleod said. “I’m encouraging him to take people on and he’s definitely one for the future.” In VPL1 news Langwarrin has released midfielders Jin Jeong and Carlos Abboud while Kameel Khan, Owen

Murphy and Allen Dzemidzic have been promoted to the senior squad. Khan and Murphy were in the under21s last season. Dzemidzic left Langy and joined Oakleigh Cannons last season where he took out the league’s Golden Boot honours at Under-21 level. In State 5 news Rosebud has resigned star defender Dougie Cunnison. The former Keilor Park captain and Clifton Hill player is expected to form a central defensive partnership with Billy Painting who was recruited from Skye United. Last week the draw for round 1 of the 2024 Australian Cup was live streamed on Football Victoria’s Facebook page. The preliminary rounds of the national competition have been renamed the Dockerty Cup in Victoria and round 1 involved State 3, 4 and 5 teams with ties to be played on the weekend of 10/11 February.
