Police focus on rural roads for speedsters TRAFFIC cop Barry Judge had been manning the radar gun on Balnarring Rd, Tuerong, for about one minute on Thursday when his first speedster flew by, seemingly oblivious to the 80kph limit. The Somerville Highway Patrol officer was out enforcing police Operation Hisser, whose focus is on reducing speeds on peninsula rural roads with limits of 80kph or higher. Hisser’s first week netted 120 motorists speeding, two drug-affected drivers, four unlicensed drivers, one suspended driver and seven unregistered vehicles. “We get a lot of speedsters who say, ‘But it used to be a 100kph limit on this road’, which it was before being reduced to 80kph,” Leading Senior Constable Judge said. Speed limits on the peninsula’s long, two-lane rural roads have been cut “for a reason.” “If the $1 billion Peninsula Link Freeway, with its rope-wire barriers and two lanes in each direction is a 100kph road, then it is nonsense to suggest that the same speed limit is OK on a rural road where the only thing that’s going to stop you in a disaster is a 100-year-old gum tree,” he said.

Crackdown plan for ‘party’ houses Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has vowed to crack down hard on the owners of rowdy “party” houses – all too common in Rye and Rosebud – whose guests can make weekends miserable for neighbours. Loud music, bad language, yelling and anti-social behaviour late into the night, as well as parking problems in

previously quiet streets and rubbish piled up outside, have had residents up in arms and seeking tougher controls. Environment protection manager John Rankine told last week’s council meeting the shire had 24,000 holiday homes, which included 3000 Airbnb rentals. These had generated 87 complaints from neighbours over the past 12 months. “These [concern] a very small proportion of the Airbnbs but they have a significant impact on our community,”

he said. “We are commencing with a negotiation process and we will speak to the owners. The crux [is] that we are making the owner responsible for the noise – not the occupier at the time because they are transient and it is too hard to take action against them. “We have the cooperation of Airbnb to have the particular property delisted.” Complaints from residents are more frequent during summer. Angry Rye resident Howard Dare told Radio 3AW on Friday morning

that a drunken guest from a nearby party house in February had “threatened to kill me” when confronted about noise. Mr Dare said the house with pool and deck had been used continuously over summer, and one weekend saw 29 cars parked out front. The owners say they stipulate that parties are not allowed, but that was hard to supervise. “One day in February the group there was intoxicated and making lots of noise. I rang the owners and they told the guests who had complained and

one of them came out into the street and said he would kill me.” A 20-year-old woman came out to apologise and admitted there were 20 people inside. Noise from a buck’s party on another weekend continued until 3am. Although quieter in cooler months, the house is active “most weekends” at up to $800 a night, and continuously over summer when the owners can charge up to $1500 a night. Continued Page 11

Family conflict major cause of youth depression YOUTH worker Les Twentyman will be in Mornington next week to speak about his life helping those who “fall through the cracks and the injustice they face”. Twentyman, head of the Les Twentyman Foundation and author of The Mouth That Roared has helped many young people “get their lives back on track”. His visit arranged by Peninsula Voice will reinforce the need to address research findings which show the number of young people on the Mornington Peninsula suffering depression is higher than the state average. The number of young people committing suicide in Frankston and on the peninsula is also causing alarm. The state government has announced funding for the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network to deliver the Lived Experience project designed to “help reduce stigma and promote helpseeking in the Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Dandenong regions”. Roses in the Ocean, an organisation supporting those with lived experiences of suicide, will provide training and mentoring to help people talk about suicide. A 2012 study by Communities that Care commissioned by Mornington Peninsula Shire revealed an estimated 25.5 per cent of students in years seven, nine and 11 with “depressive symptoms”. “The prevalence of students with depressive symptoms, at each year level, appears to have remained stable over the 10-year period since 2002,” family services and community planning manager Louise Wilkins said. “In 2014 Deakin University examined which factors were related to depression symptoms, and what factors would produce the biggest change on depressive symptoms in the shire. Multivariate mod-

elling demonstrated that family conflict was a risk factor that was associated with the greatest odds of depressive symptoms.” Ms Wilkins said modelling blamed family conflict for increasing the chances of depressive symptoms by 70 per cent. Other reasons for depression are seen as being life events; loneliness; loss and grief; bullying; alcohol and drug use; low self esteem and body image; discrimination; and physical health problems. In Hastings and Mornington families have recently attended movie nights (Shed 11 Youth Centre in Hastings and The Corner Youth Centre in Mornington) and discussed the shire’s Take the Pledge campaign. The “pledge” encourages families to focus on positive and clear communication, spending quality time with loved ones and making their homes more harmonious to reduce family conflict. Taking the pledge can include such activities as eating one meal together as a family each week or attending a child’s sporting event each week. Pledge cards are online at mornpen.vic. gov.au/ctc. For details about youth support on the peninsula call 5950 1666 or mpys@mornpen.vic.gov.au. Advice and help is also available from Headspace Frankston, Mentis Assist and Peninsula Health. Les Twentyman will speak at the Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilsons Rd, Mornington, 6.30-8pm Wednesday 9 August. Details from Malcolm Duff, 0438 306 594. For crisis support and counselling call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the suicide call back service on 1300 659 467. Keith Platt

Citizen science at the wetlands THE role that citizen science can play in protecting the environment will be fully explained during a “geo-ecology” tour of the Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, Somers. The 10am-4pm "Science in the Park: Wildlife Counts" tour on Sunday 13 August is part of National Science Week. “One of the most important things in managing our parks is research and monitoring – to understand what we have and how we are going to protect it,” Coolart ranger Jenny Thomas said. “Gathering this information can not only be done by professional scientists but also the community using citizen science, [and the tour] will be a chance for people to see how science is used in our parks and how they can be involved.” Oranisations involved in wildlife counts tour are Swinburne University of Technology’s PrimeSCI!, Parks Victoria, Western Port Biosphere, Birdlife Mornington Peninsula, the Platypus Education Group, Field Naturalists Club of Victoria, Victorian National Parks Association and the Friends of Coolart. The organisations will provide science presentations and handson science activities in the Coolart wetlands. Ian Temby, author of Wild Neighbours, will be a key speaker.

Cruden Farm plans face vote this month

of Dame Elisabeth but not her high-profile son Rupert. Earlier this year, Cruden Farm director Cara Simpson said in a statement that the subdivision revenue would “secure the long-term future of Cruden Farm so that it can be enjoyed by the people of Victoria in line with the wishes of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch”. It has been reported that Dame Elisabeth had envisaged and planned for the land sale. She had planted a row of trees to the south of the house and lake in the expectation the paddocks beyond could be sold for housing. Cruden Farm is open to the public on select days but the trustees have stated that money from land sales would allow the garden to be opened free of charge five days a week, including weekends. Subdivided land is expected to yield $25-30 million. The plan is being opposed by several conservation groups including Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways, which is concerned about loss of a habitat link, and Defenders of the South East Green Wedge, which is opposed to development in the green wedge. Mike Hast

FSA/VICPOL0021/05

PLANS to subdivide part of Cruden Farm in Langwarrin for residential development go to Frankston Council later this month. Councillors are expected to debate and vote on the matter on 14 August. The council is expected to include all documents relating to the rezoning in the agenda for the meeting, the first time all documents have been made public. The vote will be the first step in a process that, if successful, would see 116 houses built on about 15.8 hectares (40 acres) on the eastern and southern edges of the property. Cruden Farm is currently 54 hectares (133 acres) in total. The application will test planning minister Richard Wynne and the state government’s commitment to a permanent Urban Growth Boundary in the recently revamped Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 as the boundary will have to be moved to allow for the subdivision. It would have to be approved by Mr Wynne and ratified by both Victorian houses of parliament. Cruden Farm is currently in a Rural Conservation Zone, which prohibits residential development. It will have to be rezoned to allow creation of 116 lots of between 600 and 800 square metres. Minimum subdivision size in a Rural Conservation Zone is eight hectares (80,000 square metres). Newspaper tycoon Keith Murdoch, father of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch, bought Cruden Farm as a wedding present for Dame Elisabeth in 1928. A renowned philanthropist, Dame Elisabeth died at age 103 in 2012 and Cruden Farm estate was transferred to Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013. Trustees include several grandchildren

Cricket tours can take family toll

Fined for speed

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au KATHRYN Whatmore knows all about the pressures felt by the wives and girlfriends of professionals cricketers – especially when their partners are on tour. “There’s a lot more expected of cricketers these days as they are full time and there is so much travel involved,” the wife of former Test cricketer and now international coach Dav (Davenell) Whatmore, said on Monday from their home in Bittern. “There are many more competitions now; people don’t realise how difficult it is for wives to have their men so far from home and away from their young families.” Players are required to arrive overseas a couple of weeks before the start of a series, meaning a six-week tour is really a nine-week tour. “It’s incredible that some marriages even keep going. The wives are the ones who bring up the children.” Dav Whatmore, 63, is an international cricket coach, now in India, who started his career in Australia where he played seven Tests as a right-hand batsman and slip fieldsman, before retiring in 1989. He attended Mentone Grammar School. Whatmore coached Sri Lanka (where he was born) to a famous World Cup win in 1996, then led Bangladesh to its first ever Test win, followed by coaching stints in India, Zimbabwe and Pakistan. He coached the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and recently signed with Chennai-based

Sri Ramachandra University to head the Whatmore Centre for Cricket, as well as coach the Kerala Cricket Association. Ms Whatmore said Tina Walker, first wife of former Test legend Max Walker who died last year, and Helen Yallop – wife of former captain Graham Yallop – helped lay down informal guidelines and customs to assist the younger wives and girlfriends fit in and feel comfortable while on tour. “The new wives started to be better looked after and, as they say, ‘happy wife, happy life’,” she said. Ms Whatmore remembers settling at

Bittern after selling the family home in Carnegie a decade ago. “I’d always loved the Mornington Peninsula but was looking at the Port Phillip side,” she said. “Someone suggested we look around Western Port and we loved it. “We were in Sri Lanka when I asked my daughter to take a look at a house for sale at Bittern and she said: ‘That’s the one for you, mum’. So we sold the family home and moved down here and have loved it ever since. “People don’t realise how fortunate we are to live in Australia, she said. “I hear people complain, but we live in

such a beautiful part of the world.” A constant in their married life is that Whatmore has travelled continually, both as a player and coach. “He’s been home once this year but won’t be home again until next year,” she said. “We’ve been married 36 years and I am incredibly proud of him. He is very fit and has no plans to retire. He’s terrific in the way he just gets on with it. “People think he is strict and serious but he can also play jokes. He’s a wonderful man-manager who puts himself last and has great integrity.”

Continued from Page 1 He cited busy rural thoroughfares, such as Coolart, Balnarring, BitternDromana and Mornington-Tyabb roads, as dangerous for even low-level speedsters. “Limits on these roads have been reduced because a driver’s mistake on, say, Balnarring Rd, could have catastrophic consequences.” With no possibility of improving safety characteristics on narrow roads, driving slower is the best strategy. “By reducing speeds we make these roads safer; a driver’s ability to survive a collision at 20kph less is much better,” Leading Senior Constable Judge said. “The aim is to reinforce the message that no speed over the limit is acceptable,” he said. On Sunday, the officer issued five tickets to drivers travelling 10-25kph over the limit, with several also fined for other traffic matters. “We are expected to enforce speeding rules, but all drivers are breathtested and some cars are given roadworthy defect notices, too,” he said. Sergeant Peter Martin, also of Somerville Highway Patrol, said Operation Hisser would continue over the next few months. “Drivers need to be aware of the speed zone that they are driving in and always drive to the conditions,” he said. “Our aim is to decrease the level of road trauma caused by speeding and to challenge the belief out there that even low-level speeding is safe. “We will continue to focus on these roads to ensure that they are safe for all road users.” The name Hisser was derived from High Speed Rural Roads.

Mayor rugs up for homeless night

Hunt continues for sex attacker

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au FUNDRAISING for the third annual Sleep In Your Car event in Mornington on Saturday is in full flight as the shire’s mayor Bev Colomb throws her support behind the cause. Cr Colomb will join others at Mornington Park on Saturday night who are giving up sleeping at home for one night, and she aims to raise at least $1000. The mayor has a way to go to catch fundraising frontrunners, some of whom are halfway to their targets, but no doubt she can find plenty of sponsors among the shire’s 10 other councillors and 1000 plus staff. This is Fusion Mornington Peninsula’s third annual event and this year the organisation aims to raise $30,000 “to continue to change the lives of vulnerable young people on the Mornington Peninsula”, Fusion stated. People pledge funds to support those taking part in the event at Mornington Park, Schnapper Point Drive, which starts at 5.30pm on Saturday 5 August with a community event before sleep time. Cr Colomb said she had “always felt so lucky to have a home. There are so many hardships related to homelessness and we need to do what we can, wherever we can”. Fusion’s housing coordinator Stuart Bell said anecdotal evidence from peninsula support services showed about 2000 people on the peninsula were homeless. “People experiencing homelessness resort to resting in any way they can.

Empathy: Gemma Bell of Fusion, left, and shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb will take part in this year’s Sleep In Your Car to raise money to reduce homelessness. Picture: Supplied

This could include staying in a friend’s garage or couch. It could be sleeping underneath a beach box, in a park or on a building site. “Others may be lucky enough to find emergency accommodation. Some may end up in a boarding house, which could be exploitative and sometimes even unsafe.” Mr Bell said the closure of caravan parks on the peninsula had removed affordable and accessible accommodation. Renting a property on low incomes was difficult, too.

Cr Colomb said she would be joined by members of the shire’s Youth Services Team “who are encouraging families to Take the Pledge”, which had been developed to “encourage families to focus on positive communication and spending quality time together as a family to foster a more harmonious home environment”. People who can’t or don’t want to sleep in a car or under a large marquee can still contribute by coming to the park at 5.30 to take part in various activities, Fusion said.

Activities will include walk in the shoes of someone experiencing homelessness through Fusion’s “The Walk Without Home” simulation; hear about services and support systems; and find out how to support someone at risk of homelessness. There will be an art installation, musicians, and food and coffee on sale. It is a drug- and alcohol-free event. Register at sleepinyourcar.com.au.

POLICE last week were still searching for a man who sexually assaulted a teenage girl in Mt Eliza last year. The attack so traumatised the 16-year-old that she was unable to report it to police for more than a year. Just before midnight, Saturday 7 May, the girl left a party in Mt Eliza – which was not held at Toorak College as previously reported (Man sought over sex attack, The News 25/7/2017) – to walk home with a few friends along Old Mornington Rd. The girl continued walking alone after her friends were collected. Soon after, she heard two men calling from behind. She turned but could not see them in the dark. The girl, now 17, told police she was grabbed from behind and pulled into bushes between Williams Rd and Ti-Tree Lane. She was then sexually assaulted by one man while the other kept a lookout. The men fled after the attack. The first man is described as being Caucasian, 187cm tall, 18-19 years old, fit-looking with a round face, small fea-tures and short dark hair. He was wearing khaki shorts, grey t-shirt and a dark-coloured jumper or jacket with a hood, black socks and black running shoes. He had a deep voice with an Australian accent. The second man was Caucasian with possibly a darker skin tone than the other. He was wearing a dark-coloured hoodie or jacket with a hood over his head and black running shoes. Anyone who can help can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Coping with disease and injury MT Eliza general practitioner Dr Mrin Nayagam has written a book about patients who overcame the odds in the face of serious medical conditions or a traumatic event. Silver Linings: True Stories of Human Resilience from a General Practice contains 22 true life stories depicting poignant moments shared between Dr Nayagam and her patients. Readers will meet people from all walks of life including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kateâ&#x20AC;?, diagnosed with cancer at only seven months old and now in full remission at age 10; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robâ&#x20AC;?, an avid cyclist, bed-bound as a quadriplegic after a horrific accident, who now walks again; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lindaâ&#x20AC;? who weighed 115 kilograms and was suicidal, but found the strength to lose weight and overcome depression. The book has been published by The Bowen Street Press, a student-led publishing house based at RMIT University. Internationally renowned neurologist and academic Professor Edward Byrne (who wrote the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreword) said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr Nayagam takes us on a series of deeply personal journeys covering periods of stress, pain and fear for patients and their families, and showing how ordinary people cope when their health or the health of a close family member impaired.â&#x20AC;? Jay Carmichael of The Bowen Street Press said the collection â&#x20AC;&#x153;highlights the continued importance of the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;patient relationship amid recent federal budget changes to Medicare and healthcareâ&#x20AC;?. Dr Nayagam, who practices at Village Clinic Mt Eliza, said the stories were â&#x20AC;&#x153;true to life and will be an inspiration to readers of all agesâ&#x20AC;?. The stories come from more than 25 years of her practice on the Mornington Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title reflects the beacon of light that people need when their lives are drastically changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in this case by a devastating medical diagnosis or a traumatic event,â&#x20AC;? Dr Nayagam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot carry the world on your shoulders; you really need other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help.

Asking for help does not mean that you are weak. Everyone needs help sometimes and we all need to be shown compassion,â&#x20AC;? says Amy, a patient portrayed in Silver Linings. Sales profits will go to the Silver Linings Charitable Trust set up by Dr Nayagam to support financially disadvantaged Frankston residents. Last Christmas, Village Clinic staff and clients donated more than 5100 litres of non-perishable food items to Community Support Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Christmas collection. The clinic has supported the collection for 11 years. Dr Nayagam is a former board member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and inaugural chair of the Women in General Practice Committee. The book will be launched by Professor Leanne Rowe, former chair of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Victoria faculty, on Saturday 5 August at Frankston Arts Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cube 37. Silver Linings costs $29.99 and is available from Village Clinic Mt Eliza, Mt Eliza Newsagency, Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookshop in Mornington, Robinsons Bookshop in Frankston, Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookshop in Hastings, and Monash University bookshop at Clayton.

Sunday protest to save strays Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ANIMAL lovers demonstrated outside the shire’s Mornington offices, Sunday 23 July, over what they say is secrecy surrounding the number of unwanted animals being put down at the community animal shelter in Watt Rd. Save Mornington Pound Animals organiser Rosy Fischer said the rally was a success. “More than 70 people braved the cold and rain to stand for the animals, along with their dogs – even a cat made an appearance,” she said. Protesters brought their pets and dressed up as their favourite animal for the protest, which comes just weeks before the shire prepares to unveil $900,000 in changes to the shelter, in Watt Rd, Mornington.

The group wants to stop cats and dogs being killed and for the shire to increase its efforts to find new homes for strays. Meanwhile, the shire is talking up the shelter’s adoption program, which it says aims “to find the perfect home for thousands of dogs and cats”. “The Community Animal Shelter and Pound prides itself on working with more than 50 rescue groups [in] adopting animals out to the public to ensure as many unwanted pets as possible have a chance at finding their ‘forever’ home,” a shire news release says. “These groups are volunteers who work tirelessly to find homes for vulnerable pets on the Mornington Peninsula.” In three years, the shire says homes have been found for almost 2000 animals, with peninsula residents given free registration for their new pet.

It says more than 400 pets found homes last year through rescue groups, while 77 were adopted out through the PetRescue website. The shire “encourages people who are thinking about adopting a pet to approach a reputable rescue group”. At last week’s council meeting, Rosebud resident Malcolm Campbell said: “The rescue groups which take most of the unclaimed animals from the shelter are fed up ... The only meeting they have had with the shire was in February and their suggestions were ignored.” The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine said he had “every intention of meeting with those groups on a regular basis”. He was “disappointed” to hear that there may be concerns from the groups “because they do an outstanding job in rescuing and rehoming animals from the animal facility”.

FoI goes missing MYSTERY surrounds the progress of an $1100 Freedom-of-Information request to the Mornington Peninsula Shire made by the Save Mornington Pound Animals group on Monday 19 June. The group is seeking details about animals held at the community animal shelter over the past 12 months, including vets’ bills for euthanising animals; where pets have been rehoused; how many cats and dogs are registered with the shire; the fate of 54 cats; and the shelter’s budget. Last week, the shire’s FoI officer Kate McNab said she had not received the FoI request – despite the Save Mornington Pound Animals group producing a receipt for $554.10, which is half the $1100 needed to lodge it and get things under way.

Ex-soldier regains â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sniperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rifle

Amnesty for guns,weapons AN amnesty which runs until September aims to take illegal guns, ammunition and other weapons out of harms way. Gun owners have three months to surrender unregistered and unwanted firearms, ammunition and weapons, to licensed firearms dealers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the police â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without fear of prosecution. Police Superintendent Paul Millett said the amnesty was well timed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been more than 20 years since there was a national amnesty and almost five since the last amnesty in Victoria when about 2500 weapons and firearms were handed in,â&#x20AC;? Supt Millett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the community to help keep everyone safe by reducing the availability of unregistered firearms and illegal weapons to those who clearly do not want them for lawful purposes.â&#x20AC;? In previous amnesties firearms, including imitation and antique guns and rifles, swords, homemade weapons and hunting knives, were surrendered. Unwanted or unregistered firearms, ammunition or weapons can be surrendered to licensed firearms dealers without fear of prosecution. Licenced gun owners may surrender guns for destruction, registration or sale, while those not licensed can surrender them for destruction. They will not have to give their details unless they intend to register or sell them. Details: firearmsamnesty.ag.gov. au or police.vic.gov.au

A SNIPERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S rifle has been returned to the man who captured it while fighting the Japanese in Bougainville in March 1945. Former Corporal Duncan MacKinnon was last week reunited with the rifle he took from the dead sniper at the battle for Slaters Knoll and brought home after the war for display at an RSL. Mr MacKinnon had landed with Australian troops at Torakina, Bougainville, in 1943. It was occupied by the Americans. His 25th Battalion established its base close to where the Puriata River converged with Buin Rd at Slaters Knoll. The Japanese were dug in along the Buin Rd, and the Australians took part in lengthy battles all the way up the coast to Buka Island and back. The 25th Battalion crossed the Puriata River on 4 March 1945 and soon ran into heavy Japanese resistance. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; company advanced along Buin Rd but was surrounded and persistently attacked for three days. The 25th Battalion attacked on a two-company front on 19 March and forced the Japanese from their positions into an extensive system of pill-boxes at a road junction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This action is only a small part in which we were involved fighting the 40,000 Japs on the Island,â&#x20AC;? Mr MacKinnon recalled. The sniper was hiding in a foxhole and difficult to see. Mr MacKinnon threw in a grenade and suffered minor injuries from the outward blast when it exploded. But he got the rifle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an Arisaka type 38 of 6.5 calibre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was sent to Anzac House when Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tougher gun laws came into effect in 1996. It then â&#x20AC;&#x153;vanishedâ&#x20AC;? for more than 20 years. Mr MacKinnon approached friends and associates to help him find the weapon, but the search proved fruitless. Then, as a committee member of the Western Port Oberon Association, he spoke to its president Max Bryant who, after â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lengthy investigationâ&#x20AC;?, found the rifle at a former RSL armoury at Lakes Entrance. Fortunately, Mr MacKinnon had carved his name on the stock so the rifle was able to be identified by armoury manager Rob Ferguson. It was then taken to Miallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gun Shop, in Playne St, Frankston, where it was recorded and registered to a licensed gun holder for safe keeping. One day the rifle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and its history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be on show in a museum, but until then remains locked in a safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I handed the gun to Dougie you could see his mind travelling back all those years to the battle for Slaters Knoll,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bryant said. Stephern Taylor

BIRTHDAY SALE

Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy: Unicorn Foundation CEO Simone Leyden and Health Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt at the funding announcement. Picture: Supplied

PROUDLY LOCALLY MADE IN OUR FACTORY

Federal grant for Unicorn THE Mornington Peninsula-based Unicorn Foundation has received $280,000 from the federal government to support people diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). The foundation was formed in 2009 by NETs patient Kate Carr, her brother Dr John Leyden and sister Simone Leyden. Ms Leyden said that as Kate went through the process of consultation, diagnosis and treatment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we saw a complete lack of resources available to patients. We felt an enormous need to bring together resources to provide more and better informationâ&#x20AC;?. Ms Carr had been diagnosed with a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer in 2005. She fought a five-year battle before succumbing in March 2010 aged just 34. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you develop an uncommon cancer such as NETs, you have only a 40 per cent chance of surviving five years, compared with a 90 per cent chance of surviving five years with breast cancer. These odds have not changed for decades,â&#x20AC;? Ms Leyden stated in an online cancer forum. Health Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt said Unicorn would use the funds to â&#x20AC;&#x153;help patients diagnosed with the condition, no matter where they live in Australia, to access information either by phone or online, helping them understand the challenges and treatment options availableâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neuroendocrine tumours form when specialised cells in the neuroendocrine system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which helps regulate basic functions like digestion, respiration, heart rate and blood pressure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; undergo changes, causing them to divide and grow,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Tumours often develop in the gastrointestinal system, but can appear in other parts of the body including the lungs, skin, ovaries, kidneys, stomach, liver and glands. About five to seven Australians are estimated to develop neuroendocrine tumours per 100,000 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a government, we are determined to continue to provide support for fighting horrible cancers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both common and rare,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hunt said. Simone Leyden said NETs were â&#x20AC;&#x153;usually diagnosed late and have long been overlooked and misunderstood by the medical professionâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 90 per cent of all NET patients are incorrectly diagnosed and initially treated for the wrong disease,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If caught early, NET cancers can usually be cured with surgery.â&#x20AC;? She said the most common symptoms included abdominal pain, flushing, diarrhoea, wheezing, chronic cough, recurrent lung infections, bloating, heart palpitations, skin rash, heartburn, and weight changes Unicorn Foundation is Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only not-forprofit medical charity focused on NETs. Based at Blairgowrie, it runs patient support groups in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane, and lobbies for better resources, improved education and cheaper medicine. NETs affect more than 10,000 Australians, with 1800 new diagnoses each year. Simone Leyden is CEO of the foundation following a career in advertising and marketing. John Leyden is Unicornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman as well as chairman of World NET Cancer Alliance. Dr Leyden graduated from Monash University and works at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney.

Continued from Page 1 Gary Mulcahy, also of Rye, said he and his neighbours had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;having trouble with party houses for years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real problem for usâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had our houses egged, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had cars roaring up and down the street, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve copped abuse.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulcahy said short-term rentals should not be allowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bylaw says you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run a business in a Residential 1 zone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they are breaking the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The party houses are businesses and probably owned by three or four people. They should not be allowed to do it.â&#x20AC;? The council meeting backed efforts by shire officers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;enforce the provisions of relevant legislation to address complaints of anti-social behaviour from short-term accommodationâ&#x20AC;?. The shire is planning a forum where those affected by the party houses can get together to â&#x20AC;&#x153;develop a co-operative approach aimed at preventing anti-social behaviour from short term accommodation occupantsâ&#x20AC;?. Rosebud resident Stuart Morton asked the meeting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does council have, or intend to have, regulations to control unsupervised short term rental accommodation facilities?â&#x20AC;? Mr Rankine said the shire was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not intending to put in place specific regulations which would need to be a local lawâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are of the view that we have sufficient au-

thority under the Planning and Environment Act and the Public Health and Wellbeing Act to affect change in those party houses that are creating a nuisance,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had several successful cases of late that have demonstrated to us that we can take action successfully.â&#x20AC;? Roslyn Morton, of Rosebud asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could council please advise if a residence in a residential area can become a boutique hotel?â&#x20AC;? Mr Rankine said a hotel was a permitted use in a residential area if it had a planning permit. The report to councillors said reducing the number of occupants was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pivotalâ&#x20AC;? in policing party houses as fewer occupants produced less noise, less rubbish and less parking congestion. Owners would be advised that a planning permit was required to run an accommodation business in a residential area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This approach has been effective in gaining voluntary compliance from owners,â&#x20AC;? the report stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also a practical response to an emerging problem as it provides an incentive for owners to voluntarily comply and enables conditions to be put in place to control the activity on the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, some [landlords] advertise fivebedroom houses that will accommodate 30 people or more. These will be targeted initially to reduce the advertised accommodation capacity back to two persons per bedroom.â&#x20AC;?

LAP up the magnificent views of Port Phillip Bay and the peninsula hinterland in supreme style and comfort from this astounding architect-designed residence, set on a superb 2120 square metre parcel of land. This is the luxurious Red Hill escape you have been dreaming of with fine views by day and all the boutique cafes and wineries of the area within a short drive, then to cap it all off, a dazzling night light show come the evening. The bright and spacious interior is accentuated by the curved ceiling with celestory windows that bath the formal lounge room in natural light.

A vast kitchen presents in as-new condition and boasts a full complement of quality stainless-steel appliances and an excellent amount of bench and cupboard space. From the adjoining family meals zone you can practically dip your toe in the water with a timber deck overlooking the superb solar heated in-ground pool, and from the formal lounge is a delightful alfresco dining area sheltered behind a glass balustrade. Come the warmer months, this will be a fantastic space to sit and enjoy good company as the peninsula comes to life at night. The elegant master

bedroom also enjoys the view through double glass sliding doors, and a palatial ensuite features a corner spa bath, double vanity and a large frameless glass shower. Stylish plantation shutters feature to two more bedrooms which each have a walk-in robe. There is the main bathroom and a separate powder room for guests. The flat block has been well-landscaped and outbuildings include a garden shed in the north corner. Shielded from the road by a stand of established trees, the home has a paved driveway that provides off-street parking in addition to the double garage.

OBITUARY

Vale Dorothy Seller – family and orchard, Brownies and first aid By Peter McCullough IF you were fortunate enough to have been a member or the Tyabb Brownie pack in the 1980’s you would have known Dot Seller (a.k.a. Brown Owl). If you were perhaps not so fortunate and required the attention of the Western Port First Aid unit you would most likely have had any damage repaired by Dot Seller. These were just two of her many community contributions. Dot passed away peacefully on 17 July after a short illness. She was aged 75. Tobin Brothers Funeral Chapel in Mt. Martha was packed beyond capacity for her funeral service on 20 July with celebrant Kerry Holgate officiating. Kerry was responsible for the eulogy and a tribute was given by long-time friend. Marg. Woodlock-McLean. This obituary is based on their comments. *** DOROTHY Joan Issell, always known as Dot, was born in Geelong on 8 May, 1942 to parents Graham and Clementina. Graham worked at the Ford Motor Company and Dot had a younger brother, Leigh, who died two years ago. When Dot was four the family moved to a farm in Baxter where they grew flowers and vegetables, kept poultry and sold eggs. There her mother formed a friendship with their neighbour, Joan Lindsay, the author of “Picnic at Hanging Rock”. Dot loved the outdoors and her childhood on the farm was a happy one. She honed her skills with the slingshot and could beat all of the boys. In latter years she often told of the occasion when her father cut the head off a chicken which then chased her around the wood heap! Dot attended Baxter Primary School, and then boarded for a number of years at Mentone Girls’ Grammar School. Etched in her memory from that time were the meals. She was made to sit at the dining table until everything was eaten, including any fat on the chops. This ensured that, for the rest of her life, any meat served up by Dot to her family was ruthlessly trimmed. Towards the end of her schooling Dot was torn between her interests in medicine and horticulture. In the end she attended Burnley Horticultural College where she attained her Diploma. She was proud of this achievement and used her knowledge of plants throughout her life, not only in selecting plants for her own garden, but also in assisting others. Later, on the orchard, her horticultural knowledge was a great asset. In her late teens Dot played tennis on Saturday afternoons at the Frankston Methodist Church and she attended the church youth group. On the court one hot mid-summer day she encountered a young man named Derek Seller; they began courting and were married on 25 August, 1962. After boarding in Frankston for a time, the young couple decided to build their home on the Seller family apple orchard in Stumpy Gully Road, Tuerong. With Roger and Mavis (Derek’s brother and sister-in-law), they established “Seller Brothers Orchards” where they lived and worked for fifty years until their retirement about five years ago. For many of the orchard years Dot could be found in the packing shed, grading and packing apples. Derek and Dot’s daughter, Fay, was born in 1964, and son Richard in 1966. As the children grew up they enjoyed the freedom of the outdoors, riding motorbikes around the property with their cousins. An annual ritual took place at the end of the pruning season when an enormous bonfire

would be ignited. Dot would wrap potatoes in foil and bake them, and marshmallows would be toasted. During their years as orchardists Derek and Roger attended the annual conference of the Australian Fruit Growers’ Association. These were held all over Australia and Dot and Mavis found them most enjoyable; they would go off on coach tours while the men were stuck in the conference hall. When the children were young the family had a memorable holiday camping at Penny Saddle in Gippsland. Transport was an old Austin truck with a “tarp” rigged over the top. Over the following years there were many more holidays including one to Cairns where Dot soon made friends with the other campers resulting in shared BBQ’s of the coral trout caught on fishing trips. However on finding scorpions on the floor of the tent Dot delivered Derek with an ultimatum: a caravan was required! Subsequently, Tathra on the Sapphire Coast became a favourite holiday destination as they were able to park the caravan on the beachfront and watch the surf. All of the family loved surf fishing, and Dot was particularly good at it. As the children grew, Dot became very involved in their activities: school, swimming and Brownies. When the role of assistant was vacant at the Tyabb Brownie pack, Dot stepped in. Soon she became Brown Owl, leading the pack for a decade or so. In this role she was a great influence on many young girls. She was passionate about it and these activities played a large part in her life. Dot was always proud when, in later years, she would come across her Brownies, grown up, and with children of their own. When she retired from her responsibility as Brown Owl three of the girls gave her owls as presents. This led to a passion for collecting them and the house was soon full of owls. Dot was very community minded; she was a member of the Moorooduc branch of the CWA, a Pink Lady at the Hastings Bush Nursing Hospital, and helped with Meals on Wheels. She also played tennis with Moorooduc Tennis Club for many years.

Dot and Derek were members of the Tyabb Uniting Church and the Moorooduc Fire Brigade. She particularly enjoyed attending the annual Fire Brigade ball as the barn dance gave her the chance to have a quick word with everyone. To assist her with her role with both Brownies and Guides, and deal with minor mishaps on the orchard, Dot did a First Aid course and was encouraged to become an instructor with the Red Cross. She loved this work, attending posts and instructing with the Western Port First Aid Unit for over thirty years. But she was more than an instructor as she conducted regular first aid classes for the general public. She visited primary schools, ensuring that the students knew about artificial respiration (now known as CPR), and baby health centres to teach baby resuscitation. Requests came in regularly from businesses and fire brigades for update courses for staff and members. All of this work was done with great enthusiasm and an insistence on the highest of standards. To a certain extent the name Western Port First Aid Unit was misleading for under Dot’s leadership the unit covered about 140 functions each year. Many of these were on the Peninsula and ranged from polo at Point Nepean, the Rye Gift, the Mornington market, Western Port Festival, and the many cycling events held on the Peninsula. But there were also the Berwick and Dandenong Shows, the San Remo Channel Challenge, and polocrosse at local, state and national levels, travelling as far as Warwick in Queensland. Even the Murray River Canoe Marathon was attended by the team for twenty years. However, above all, Dot was devoted to her family. She spent many hours at Frankston station waiting patiently for trains bringing Fay and Richard from their schools in Mentone. She was a good family cook and her pavlovas, sponges and roasts were specialties. Dot loved the magic of Easter and Christmas and always rang Fay and Richard early on Christmas morning, and on their birthdays. With the sale of the orchard Dot and Derek retired to their home inn Somerville, but their love of caravan-

ning continued. They travelled as far and often as they could, all over Australia. They loved the challenge of free camping, sitting around the campfire, and cooking a meal on their “piglet”. In retirement Dot also had more time to devote to her other interests such as photography and music (particularly ballet). From the time he was born, Dot loved spending time with her grandson, Nick, and watching him grow up. She made sure to spoil him as often as she could. More recently, Hayden and Zoe, her great grandchildren, have come along. She would light up when they visited, raising a chuckle or an uplifted eyebrow. Dot Seller provided wonderful service to the communities of Moorooduc, Tyabb, Hastings and the Mornington Peninsula in general. Her motivation came from a belief in the values expressed in the guide/

scout movement: honesty, reliability, loyalty, helping others and encouraging them to be the best that they can possibly be. She particularly believed that if you lived in a community you should participate and contribute your skills, expertise, philosophies and values to help create a better way of life for all. Dot adhered to the guide/scout motto: “Do a good turn for someone every day.” In concluding her tribute, Marg. Woodlock-McLean quoted a few lines of verse of which Dot was fond and which expressed her view of life: We journey through this world but once and have a short time to stay. Whatever good we mean to do had best be done today. For such another chance we may await in vain; Now is the time, for we shall not pass this way again.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Private A. G. Baker awarded the Military medal Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR Joe Baker of Lyndhurst South (Skye) has received word that his son Private A. G. Baker, who has been on active service for two years, and has been wounded on two occasions, has been awarded the Military Medal in France and is, we believe, the first from the Peninsula to receive the decoration. We extend our hearty congratulationa to Mr and Mrs Baker and to the recipient. *** THE general meeting of the Seaford Progress Association was held on Saturday last. The following officebearers of the ensuing year were elected - President Mr . Howell, vice-president, Mr Hoar, secretery and treasurer, Mr Downs. *** THE general meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association will be held on Monday next August 6th at 8 p.m. in the Mechanics’ Hall. Business—Nomination of officers for ensuing year. Further consideration of Fruit Pool (most important), etc etc. *** THE sale of Mr A. W. Taylor’s motor garage and effects will take place on the premises at 3 o’clock this afternoon. As Mr Taylor has enlisted with the A.I.F. and is going to the front he is thus compelled to dispose of a profitable business. *** ON Sunday next at the Frankston Methodist Church Rev E. Tonkin will begin a series of morning addresses on “The Transfiguration of

PAGE 26

Christ.” In the evening there will be a special service of Intercession for Our Empire and Allies, and their brave defenders. Reference will also be made to the Third Anniversary of the Great War. *** THE Red Cross workers of Mt Eliza were invited to meet Lady Spencer at Glen Shian last Thursday. In a short address she congratulated them on the amount of work done and emphasized the necessity for its continuance. Visitors were asked to contribute sixpence towards the Red Cross Funds, which resulted in £1 11s 6d being handed in. *** AT the Council meeting on Thursday last, general regret was expressed by the Councillors when the resignation of Cr Plowman was received and it was unanimously expressed that in losing Cr Plowman they were losing a good man and on who had during his term of office done a deal of hard work for the benefit of the ratepayers. *** A RECEPTION to returned soldiers was held at Clarendon House, Frankston, ion Friday evening 27th July, under the auspices of the Australian Club. Notwithstanding the rough nature of the weather about 40 guests assembled and passed a most enjoyable evening. Cards were played for about an hour when refreshments were brought in, which were much enjoyed.

Western Port News 1 August 2017

The capacious room was then cleared for dancing, which was indulged in till about 2am, the accompaniments being played by Mr Briery. A number of songs were sung at intervals during the evening, which helped to enhance the enjoyment of those present. *** A JUMBLE Fair at Somerville, under the auspices of the local Red Cross, to be held this afternoon and evening promises to be as successful as any of its predecessors. The hon. sec. (Mrs G. Shepherd) has, as usual, the work well in hand, and given fine weather, they will doubtless be able to add considerably to the funds of the Society. *** IN Mr Sambell’s (the Shire Engineer) report at Thursday’s meeting of the Council, he eulogised the work just carried out by Mr Bradbury in making turn off opposite the Fernery. He said the work would be of immense value to the travelling public by easing the congestion of the road by motor cars and acting as a safety valve at that place. If the work had not been done by Mr Bradbury, the council would have had to do it for the safety of the public. He estimated the value of the work done at £50. *** NOMINATIONS for the annual elections for the Shire of Frankston and Hastings must be received on or before 4 o’clock on Thursday next. The only riding in which there seems a likehood of a contest is in

the East Riding, where Mr Alden (the retiring councillor) will be opposed by Mr Hodgins a former councillor of the Shire. In the Centre and North Ridings Cr Murray will likely be returned for the former and Cr W. J. Oates for the latter, both being unopposed. For the Extraordinary vacancy in the North Riding, caused by the retirement of Cr Plowman, Mr W. P. Mason is the only candidate who has announced himself so far and from all appearences he is likely to have a walkover. *** AMONGST the visitors to the Fernery during the past week was the Prime Minister, Mr W. M. Hughes and Mrs Hughes and Mr Justice Hood. Mr. Hughes, in the course of a few remarks, described his visit while in England, to the glass houses of the Duke of Portland, one of which was as large as the Fernery. He said all the lawns, parks, and gardens were being cut up for growing foodstuffs. He paid the proprietor a compliment by stating that although the private ferneries were splendid he did not see a public Tea Room in all his travels, to come up to The Fernery. *** AT Bendigo Mr Hughes declared that Ministers will, if necessary, take drastic measures with those who are attempting to stay enlistment. The Trades Hall Council is supported by those who prate of a “sordid trade War”, by suffragettes who advertise harangues on such catchpenny subjects as “Shall we support the tottering Empire”, by

politicians who damn recruiting with the faintest of faint praise. In victory and in defeat alike the extremists are noisy. It is a mistake to oppose a mob of loose talkers with silent contempt. If we would impress those who are indifferent to politics, we must drown the clamor of the disloyal minority. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason have received from Mr G. Upton, of Langwarrin, two half cases of Rome Beauty apples, to be disposed of for the benefit of the “Wattle” Club. The secretary also acknowledges 10s donation from Mrs H.Robertson. *** OWING to the bad state of the weather it has been decided to postpone the procecession and patriotic display which was to have taken place in Frankston to-day, till Saturday August 11th. A meeting to make arrangements will be held in the Hall this (Friday) evening, when everybody who is interested, (and it interests everybody) is expected to attend. It must be understood by all thinking people that this is not taken up in a spirit of rejoicing, – far fromit. It is giving expression to our loyalty and to show that after three long years horrible war we can still say “it is OUR FLAG and we are still determined to fight for it. Make it your business to come to the meeting tonight. and see how you can assist in this patriotic display. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 August 1917

VERA BLUE HEADS TO THE GRAND Following the release of ‘Private’, which scored over two million streams worldwide, incandescent singer-songwriter Vera Blue has released her arresting new single, ‘Mended’ and announced dates for a major national album tour this July through September. Her three previous Australian headline tours all sold out and tickets to the upcoming ‘Mended’ tour are expected to go just as fast.

The nakedly honest ballad was premiered yesterday on triple j’s Drive show with Veronica and Lewis, and details the aftermath of an intense relationship. ‘Mended’ was penned with longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak (Boy and Bear, Winterbourne, Bertie Blackman) and marks the beginning of a new sonic and personal journey for Vera Blue. “‘Mended’ is a very special song,” she says. “It was about a relationship that I

had a few years ago. It had been a little while since we’d ended it and we hadn’t made amends, said we were sorry. It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.” Vera Blue will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Wednesday 9 August.

The race is on for top spots PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE competition for a place in the MPNFL Peninsula Division top three and final five is well and truly on after the completion of Round 15. After looking gone about seven weeks ago, Edithvale-Aspendale has been one of the best performed teams in the competition and are is now equal third with Pines on the ladder after belting the Pythons to the tune of 43 points on Saturday. The Eagles are on the same amount of points as Pines (40), however; they still remain 23 per cent behind the Pythons. Bonbeach is in second place on 44 points and Frankston YCW is now two games clear on top of the table. While there’s a nice battle going on at the top of the table, there is also a lot going on in the battle for fifth and sixth. Mt Eliza had a chance to go eight points clear of Seaford on Saturday and looked to be travelling okay at half time with a lead of eight points. However, the home side booted six goals to one in the third quarter to open up what turned out to be a matchwinning 20 point lead. The Redlegs rallied in the last quarter with the aid of the wind and booted three goals to one, however, it wasn’t enough to prevent a 10.15 (75) to 8.13 (61) loss. Seaford coach Ben Murphy said before the game on the RPP Footy Show that his leadership group had taken

Picture: Scott Memery

control in the past couple of weeks. “We’d lost some confidence and I felt like I was doing a lot of the talking, so I threw the reigns to the leadership group to take charge,” Murphy said.

“I thought we did a hell of a lot right against Frankston YCW the week before and only went down by four points. The spirit is back and the boys attitude is spot on again,” Murphy said.

Well, it paid dividends. The Tigers got their season back on track and with a strong, healthy list, can make a really good run at finals. Mt Eliza is the puzzling one. The Redlegs recruited extremely well in the off season and many predicted they would be the number one challenger to YCW in 2017. They have had their injury concerns throughout the season, but so has every club. The Redlegs are holding on to fifth place for dear life now but the draw is well and truly on their side. They finish the home and away season with games against Karingal, Mornington and Langwarrin. Seaford has Pines this Saturday at Eric Bell Reserve, then finish with Edi-Asp and Bonbeach. Regardless of the favourable draw, the Redlegs better find some good form quickly to ensure they hit the finals with some momentum. Pines lost its third straight match on Saturday 16.15 (111) to 9.14 (68). The Pythons kicked with the wind in the first quarter but could only manage two goals from its 12 shots (2.10 to 1.2). By half time, scores were level. Edithvale restricted Pines in the third to trail by just five points at the final change before booting seven unanswered goals in the last to win comfortably. The busy and unpredictable Edithvale forward line was at it again with Will Flavelle booting three majors

while Michael Bussey and Matt Clark dominated. Langwarrin made it two wins in a row after coming from behind to beat Mornington. Down by 15 points at three quarter time, the Kangas booted four goals to one in the final quarter with the aid of the wind to win a thriller, 7.10 (52) to 7.7 (49). Kieran Albanese was sensational for the winners with four match winning goals while Matty Naughton made a significant difference to the leadership of the team. Gerard Brown and Shane Paterson are stars of the competition and the footy club and led the way on Saturday. Frankston YCW got out of jail again on Saturday, this time against Karingal. The Stonecats were restricted to just two goals and trailed the Bulls by 26 points at three-quarter time. However, the champions booted 7.2 to one goal in the last quarter to record a 12-point victory. Christian Ongarello and Craig Nankervis were catalysts in the win while Riley Hodson continued his outstanding season. Michael Burke and Jake Kelly with two goals each were the best of the Bulls. In the battle of the neighbours, Trent Dennis-Lane booted nine goals and Shane McDonald three in Bonbeach’s 19.9 (123) to 11.6 (72) win against Chelsea.

Hillmen are staying alive NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt “WE’RE still alive”. They were the words that came from the end of the phone at 5.47pm on Saturday night from Red Hill coach Tony Blackford after his side got the job done against Dromana. The equation was simple for Red Hill. They beat Dromana and regain their place in the top five, or, lose and fall eight points behind and kiss their season goodbye. Leading by just six points at three quarter time, Red Hill kicked against the breeze in the final term. However, rather than trying to defend their lead, the Hillmen continued to play attacking footy and extended the final margin to 13 points, winning 8.11 (59) to 6.10 (46). In the end, the Tigers looked cooked. It’s hard now to see them regain their place in the top five now. Playing two months of do or die football has finally taken its toll. Dromana faces Somerville this weekend before playing Pearcedale and Rye in the final home and away games of the season. Red Hill tackles Devon Meadows this weekend at the Panther’s den, before finishing with a match against Crib Point and Tyabb. If Somerville can beat Dromana this weekend, they finish with games against Tyabb and Crib Point. There is just three per cent separating the Hillmen and Tigers, while Somerville is also on 32 points but 21 per cent behind Red Hill. After being well beaten by Dromana

PAGE 30

earlier in the season, the Hillmen were keen to play accountable footy. Jonah Siverson was given the biggest job on the ground and that was to run with Dromana’s Sam Fowler. Siverson went with Fowler wherever he went and destroyed him. Michael Mock had the job on Ethan Johnstone, a player that tore up Red Hill the first time. Blackford said the win was a great reward for effort for his players. “I’m really proud of the boys,” Blackford said. “We have been up against it a bit in the past few weeks but the boys have really stuck together and worked hard to turn things around in our favour again. “At this stage of the season and being two games out of the five, it would have been easy for the boys to throw it in. “We’ve given ourselves every chance now and need to win the last two games to assure ourselves a spot in the five. Getting the eight points in the next two weeks is all that matters now. Frankston Bombers coach Beau Muston was a last quarter casualty in his side’s 9.14 (68) to 6.7 (43) loss to Sorrento at Greg Beck Oval. Already strapped from head to toe, Muston went down with what appeared to be a high hamstring injury in the final quarter of the match. It wasn’t the difference in the result though. Despite kicking with the wind in the final quarter, Frankston could not penetrate the Sorrento defence often enough to strike. Sorrento was able to boot 2.5 to Frankston’s 3.1 in the final quarter to record a solid victory.

Western Port News 1 August 2017

Frankston Bombers had arguably its best side in for the season while Sorrento was a long way from fullstrength. Playing at home also, this was Frankston’s best chance to beat them. One wonders now whether it is at all possible. Rosebud celebrated the reappointment of coach Adrian McBean for another season and did a number on Pearcedale, having 43 scoring shots to 13 and winning 19.24 (138) to 8.5 (53). Keegan Downie was back for the Buds after a long spell off with injury and he finished with five goals, while a further 11 players contributed on the scoreboard. Ryan Spooner was outstanding in his 200th game while Sean Downie too was superb. Ben Trivett booted five goals in Rye’s impressive 19.12 (126) to 6.8 (44) win against Tyabb. Looking for two wins on the trot, the Yabbies were blown away in the third quarter as Rye booted 10 goals to three after half time. Somerville kept its season alive on Saturday when it beat Devon Meadows by 38 points. Five Eagles booted two goals each while Tim McGenniss played arguably his best game for the season. Allan Murray was sensational for the Meadows with half a dozen majors while Steve McInnes was also outstanding. Hastings bounced back from its narrow loss last week to smash Crib Point 20.12 (132) to 3.10 (28). Nathan Gray and Paul Rogasch booted four each for the winners and Mark Devereaux and Stevey Robb dominated.

AFL South East – Club heavyweights call meeting By Toe Punt AFL South East is still no closer to handing down its decision for the future structure of football in the region in 2018, despite meeting with three league heavyweights last Thursday. Former Frankston YCW president John Coburn, Mt Eliza president Mick Dunne and Sorrento president Bernie Balmer met with AFL South East Chairman Roger Hampson and General Manager John Anderson at 5pm last Thursday at the Frankston Park headquarters. Despite not knowing the agenda of the two-hour meeting, it is believed

that the MPNFL representatives enjoyed a robust discussion with AFL SE. The meeting was called after a group of MPNFL presidents, secretaries and key stakeholders got together many weeks ago to ensure they were in the best possible position to make a recommendation to their members clubs, regardless of the decision handed down by AFL SE. The general feeling was that MPNFL Clubs wanted to be best prepared if AFL South East presented a three-tier structure including the South-East Football Netball Club

(SENFL), which AFL South East has made no secret in saying is its preferred position. The large majority of MPNFL Clubs have maintained throughout this process that they are not interested at all in being part of any competition that involves SENFL clubs, which include dominant forces Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Berwick and Beaconsfield, as well as struggling clubs including Hampton Park and Tooradin. The MPNFL working party has been very busy gathering information and investigating alternatives to

present to clubs if and when the AFL SE decision is handed down. The meeting of Coburn, Dunne and Balmer wasn’t had on behalf of all clubs, it was simply part of the fact-finding mission they are on to ensure they are best placed to support the MPNFL Clubs with relevant information. Remarkably, it was the first time AFL SE had agreed to meet a collective of MPNFL club representatives. It was no surprise to hear that there was some progress made and that AFL SE were now much more knowledgeable and understanding of

the MPNFL clubs’ plight. Perhaps this should have been considered in February this year, instead of the divide and conquer approach through a faceless on-line survey process. Regardless of the meeting, given the lop-sidedness and disengagement of the SENFL Clubs collectively, there is a still a strong feeling that a three-tier structure including SENFL will be presented by the commission – maybe not in 2018 but certainly beyond that. If that’s the case, AFL SE is just not listening to MPNFL clubs.

Four for McKenna, Langwarrin’s hot Currie SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FOUR goals from league leading scorer Rhys McKenna has powered Southern United’s under-13s to a seven-point lead on top of Victoria’s elite junior girls competition. Southern’s 4-0 win over secondplaced Calder United at Monterey Reserve on Saturday was impressive. Two minutes into the contest Talia Palmer sent Candice Kilderry down the left and her cutback was controlled inside the area by McKenna who turned and struck a low shot inside the far post to make it 1-0. A defensive mixup in the 5th minute set up McKenna for a tap-in then Charli Phillips sent McKenna through in the 25th minute and the league’s leading scorer slotted the ball past Calder keeper Keara Calafiore to secure her hat-trick. McKenna’s fourth came 12 minutes into the second half after central midfielder Alessandra Davis played the ball in from the right and McKenna sent a curling high strike into the top corner to complete the scoreline. Davis and Southern’s Alex Jones have been selected in the Victorian under-12 schoolgirls squad to contest the national titles in Adelaide in December. Jones has been selected as a goalkeeper albeit that she is a central defender in Southern’s all-conquering under-13s and is the daughter of former South Melbourne, Peninsula Strikers and Langwarrin star keeper Chris Jones. Another local product, 11-year-old prodigy Alana Murphy, also has been picked in the schoolgirls’ side. Murphy is a former Langwarrin junior and the youngest member of Victoria’s National Training Centre under-15 squad which has clinched the NPL girls title with five games remaining. Murphy is an outstanding prospect and is the NTC’s leading scorer. Southern’s senior team went down 3-1 to championship contender Calder United with Candela Ferreyra Bas scoring for Southern. The under-15s defeated Calder 2-1 with a double from Anastassia Pusca while a depleted under-18s side lost 10-0. An Aaran Currie hat-trick has sent Langwarrin seven points clear in the race for the State 1 South-East championship. Langy’s 4-0 away win against St Kilda on Saturday has re-established Gus Macleod’s men as clear title favourites. A Connor Belger free kick in the 16th minute put Langy 1-0 up and Currie’s stunning strike from 25 metres in the 32nd minute sailed over the head of St Kilda keeper Daniel Coughlan to make it 2-0. Currie conjured up an even more

spectacular strike in the 44th minute with a 30-metre free kick that effectively put St Kilda out of the contest. The Scottish teenager completed his hat-trick in the 65th minute after being sent through by Mat Luak. Mornington grabbed second spot in State 1 South-East on goal difference from Caulfield United Cobras after a 2-1 away win over South Springvale on Saturday. Sammy Orritt’s goal spree continued and the English import grabbed a double, the first coming three minutes into the second half when he was played in by Wayne Gordon and struck a half-volley into the top corner of the South Springvale goal. The home team levelled in the 80th minute but two minutes later Orritt grabbed the winner. Gordon again put him through and he slotted it past the opposition keeper. “You’d have to think that Langy’s probably home. They’re too good a side to slip up from here,” said Mornington boss Adam Jamieson. “But we’ll keep concentrating on what we have to do and see where that takes us.”

Frankston Pines leapfrogged Peninsula Strikers on the State 2 SouthEast table courtesy of a 1-0 win in their derby showdown at Centenary Park on Saturday. The long wait for a clearance for Mauritian international striker Christopher L’Enclume ended last week and his 5th minute strike settled the issue. Strikers had gone into the contest without injured trio Aziz Bayeh, Chris McKenna and Troy Williams and had lured veteran Cameron Leopold out of retirement. In the final analysis a mistake from central defender Aisake Tikoilabasaice proved decisive. He tried to drag down a high ball instead of clearing it allowing Munib Mohamed to win the ball and send L’Enclume through and he finished neatly past Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack. Strikers forward and club president Trevor Johnston, who had worked for over five hours the previous day to remove water from the ground and make it playable, was sent off for violent conduct in the 59th minute but three superb saves by McCor-

mack in a five-minute period of the second half to deny Cedric Permal, L’Enclume then CJ Hodgson kept Strikers in the contest. Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale took three attempts to gather a mistimed defensive header that threatened to loop over him in the 68th minute and featured in the final act of a hard-fought affair when he was able to tip Sam Scott’s glancing header over the bar in the 95th minute. Pines signed ex-Bentleigh Greens striker Jayden Zahra from Berwick City last week and he came off the bench in the second half. The result leaves Strikers third bottom just two points above the relegation zone. It may be time for Seaford United to hoist the white flag after Saturday’s 8-1 hammering from Mazenod United, a result which firmly anchors the local side to the foot of the State 2 South-East ladder five points from safety with a crippling minus 28 goal difference. Mazenod led 6-0 at half-time and Seaford’s meek response came from substitute Conor McFall in the 71st minute five minutes after coming on. Skye United maintained its tenuous grip on second spot in State 3 South-East with a come-from-behind 2-1 away win over South Yarra on Saturday. The deadlock was broken in the 58th minute when Abdelhadi Deroune opened the scoring for the home side from a direct free-kick just outside the box. Skye gaffer Billy Armour rolled the dice and threw on Wumjock Jock who made an instant impact. In the 74th minute a Mark O’Connor free kick was met by Jason Nowakowski and the ball dropped to striker Daniel Attard whose touch fell in the direction of Jock who made no mistake from close range. In the 90th minute Marcus Collier picked up a loose ball and played it into Attard’s feet. With his back to goal the lanky striker flicked the ball up with his right foot and tucked it away with his left much to the delight of the travelling Skye faithful. Skye remains one point ahead of

Brandon Park which narrowed the goal difference margin with a 6-3 away win over Collingwood. State 4 South outfit Baxter won 5-3 away to bottom team Endeavour Hills Fire which has lost every league game this season. Rosebud Heart featured in a goal fest at Coomoora Reserve on Saturday as it ran out a 5-4 winner over Keysborough in their State 4 South fixture. Heart broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when a superb Blake Hicks free-kick found Cory Osorio who hit a first-time volley past Keysborough keeper Son Vu and doubled the lead just before half-time when a free-kick from Mikey Turner saw the keeper fumble and Dave Greening reacted quickest to bury the rebound. In the 49th minute a long Hicks throw was flicked on by Daniel Hodge to Greening who headed home to grab his second. Keysborough got back into the game in the 51st minute when Mert Sakranlioglu smashed a long-range drive into the far corner but Greening made it 4-1 in the 65th minute when he was played in by Turner and skinned a defender to grab his hattrick and 25th goal of the season. A minute later Sakranlioglu’s well hit shot was parried by Sean Skelly and Nicolas Jacque bundled the ball home. A Beau Sharpe own goal made it 4-3 in the 72nd minute and Deni Tintor equalised in the 82nd minute following a goalmouth scramble. Two minutes later Sharpe went from villain to hero after playing a one-two down the left then striking an unstoppable volley that proved to be the decider. Former Langwarrin and Baxter midfielder Tony Orr made his debut for Heart. Somerville Eagles were on the wrong end of a 6-0 drubbing from Dandenong Warriors in a State 5 South clash on Saturday.

Family ties hit the ring with dad-daughter team By Ben Triandafillou A FATHER and daughter fought on the same card for the first time in Victorian boxing history, according to Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amada. Peninsula Boxing took a team of three boxers to the Reggio Calabria Club in Brunswick on Sunday 23 July which included father and daughter, Scott and Tyla McDonald. “It’s the first time in Victoria that we’ve had a father and daughter fight on the same night,” Amada said. “We’ve been trying to organize it for a little while but it’s not quite that easy to do. “Tyla, [now a national champion], is quite hard to find fights for and the Masters like Scott aren’t the easiest to come by either, so it took a bit of planning.” Tyla faced the 2016 national champion, Tameriah Barney-Sandy, for the third time in her career. Barney-Sandy has faced Tyla in the final of the national championships for the past two years, with Tyla getting the upper-hand in April, when she was crowned the national cham-

pion of the ‘Schoolgirls Division’. Queenslander, Barney-Sandy, was victorious at their latest encounter last Sunday in a fight which was “50/50” said Armada. “We lost a fight but, I know it’s a

cliché thing to say, but when we lose fights we learn from them,” he said. “The nerves and her own performance anxiety in knowing she’s at the top and the one everyone wants to beat probably got the best of her.

Former Southern umpire celebrates century By Ben Triandafillou IT has been a long journey for former Southern Umpire Association boundary umpire, Andrew Leggo, but on Saturday 5 August he will celebrate his 100th Senior VFL game at Etihad Stadium. Leggo, 31, started his career at 15-years-old where he juggled boundary umpiring and playing football for Frankston until he was 20-years-old. “My dad always had faith in me and my umpiring, and he saw a bit of potential but I never took it up seriously until I was 20,” he said. “It’s probably one of my biggest regrets as who knows where I would be now if I had started earlier.” “I’ve never been a natural athlete so I have had to try and get the best out of myself by putting in the hard yards.” Leggo said that fitness was the main barrier holding him back but he has just continued to work hard and stay committed. “Fitness was never my strong point and when I first went up to the VFL they were a bit reluctant as I had this perception that I was more of a social person,” he said. “They were a bit short on um-

pires in the VFL at the time so they took up a lot of young guys. “I was able to throw the ball in quite well which probably kept me on but at the end of the second year they said I really needed to work on my fitness if I was to stay. “I had always been a bit naive and never realised how important pre-season training was until I did some preparation with the Frankston Dolphins. “I’m now one of those people who don’t like to sit around and this year I was able to set a new personal best in my fitness tests. “My dad, who was my number fan, passed away in 2010 and wasn’t able to watch me umpire a senior’s match but he has been a huge inspiration for me. “I saw how hard he was doing it towards the end and that has changed me and motivated me to improve and get better.” Leggo runs about 15-20kms per game as a boundary umpire and has run in the past three Melbourne Marathons. Leggo has been umpiring seniors VFL for the past six years and he said he is now at a stage where his main focus is to just enjoy each game of umpiring.

“We won’t make k the h same mistakes i k again and will work on her mental wellbeing, visualization and prepare her for next time. “We are moving on and have organized another rematch with her up in Queensland next time. No family, no pressure, and no one saying that you’ve beaten this girl before, you can beat her again. None of that added pressure that she doesn’t need as a young aspiring athlete.” Scott’s fight suffered a setback and was looking unlikely to go ahead with his original opponent withdrawing earlier in the week. “I rang some of the trainers and we managed to get a guy from South Australia who was ready to go,” Amada said. “Then Scott got in the ring and did what Scott normally does.”

At just his third boxing fight, Scott stopped his opponent with a knockout in the first minute. “That was only Scott’s third fight and his opponent had had a handful of kickboxing fights and about seven boxing fights,” Amada said. “No one has made the distance with Scott so we don’t know how he’s going to go over three rounds because he’s never had to go that far.” Amada said the McDonald’s are great to have around the gym and are both genuinely easy to coach. “I don’t have to force them to train, I don’t have to force them to do anything, and they are both very receptive to new ideas, criticisms and improvements.” “They both know what they have to do to improve which makes my job a lot easier.” April Franks, an assistant at the Peninsula Boxing gym, also joined the team in the ring at Brunswick and won by unanimous-decision to defeat a gutsy opponent. Following her victory, Franks headed to the Australian Elite Golden Gloves in Western Australia which was held over the weekend.

Learning the ropes: Wheelchair basketball players join in the first clinic on the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: supplied

Wheelchair basketball starts up By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON District Basketball Association hosted the first wheelchair basketball clinic on the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday 23 July. Eight eager wheelchair basketball players attended the clinic all giving more than positive feedback, said Mornington District Basketball Association representative, Ella Linton-Smith. “All the kids were beaming and had a great time,” she said. “One of the parents sent me an email afterwards thanking us and explained

that the kids were exhausted but couldn’t wait to come back again.” A Basketball Victoria representative helped coach the first session alongside Ted Stammers who was on hand to share his many years of experience as being a basketball player, coach and referee of almost 50 years. The clinic will continue to run every Sunday for an hour starting at 1pm. While the clinic was attended by mainly kids under the age of 18, Linton-Smith said it was completely a coincidence and that anyone is welcomed to come along.

Mixed bag for Crib but seniors suffer a big loss CRIB POINT FNC By Jacob Collins THE under 19’s opened the day with a strong performance against Hastings. Crib Point adapted to the wind early and proved that they weren’t going to let the conditions impact on their effort and enthusiasm towards the ball. This consistent effort saw a five goal lead at the half blow out to a 10 goal win for the pointers. Aaron “Saus” King and Harri Dekleuver were prominent all day swapping through the middle of the ground and up forward, each finishing with four majors to their name. Ryan “stix” Regan also played well controlling the wing and providing drive into the forward line. This week looms as a very important game for the unders campaign as

third placed Crib Point will be looking to get the wood over Rosebud. The reserves side were slow to start the game against Hastings but a couple of miraculous goals allowed them to pinch the lead at quarter time. In windy conditions Hastings took it away from the Magpies, slowly building a lead in the second and third terms. The pointers were unable to provide the run needed to stem the play of Hastings in the last quarter and the margin blew out to 42 points to conclude the game. A few familiar faces in Mat Wappett, Dan Wise and Cal Holt took the field for the reserves side for the first time this year all of whom provided good efforts. Joel Monger and Jake Bromley also provided strong efforts for the duration of the game throughout the

middle of the ground. The reserves will be hoping they can run the game out better this week when they face Rosebud. A reasonable start for the senior side fell away this week when they were unable to match it with Hastings after quarter time. Inaccurate kicking for goal in the first term allowed Hastings to gain the ascendency and they took full advantage building their way to a 104-point victory in blustery conditions. Young gun Aaron Whitford stepped in for his first senior game for the club and played well across the backline. Ned Shannon and Mitch Chopping also played well for the Crib Point side down back and up forward respectively. This week the side will be hoping

that they can bring a stronger performance against another team near the top of the ladder in Rosebud. *** It was not a day for netball last week at Hastings with winds blowing a gale but we pushed through. D grade started the day off with a very tight game. It was neck and neck all game with the windy conditions making it hard to convert but our girls remained steady. It was a long battle but when the final whistle blew it was Hastings that came away with a one goal win. BOC went to Kirra for her best game of the season by far in GK against a much taller opponent. C grade rallied through the day with a 20 goal win. A few illnesses during the week didn’t stop the girls from putting in a convincing effort and

remaining strong all day. BOC went to Stacey for a ripper game in defence getting tips and intercepts all day. Well done to Laura for slotting into the team well have having a great game! B grade kept the spectators on the edge of their seat for most of the game being five down at half down to come back after a great third quarter to win by three. It was a great team effort that rallied together. BOC went to Alicia who only came on in the second half but golly did she have a positive impact plucking tips and intercepts out of the air. This week we’ve got Rosebud at home, let’s finish off the last bit of the seaon off strong with three wins! Go Crib!

Hastings far too strong for Crib Point HASTINGS FNC WELL what a big and successful day it was yesterday for HFNC. The whole day was a great example of local sporting rivalry at its best in both football and netball against our neighbours, Crib Point and our Womens Football team against Frankston Bombers. To think that “our” league (AFLSE) is currently conducting a review that appears to be determined to re-structure our league in such a way that will totally destroy the fantastic local rivalry that currently makes our league so unique and successful is beyond belief. The highlight of the day was with our D Grade Netball girls for recording their first ever win with an exciting one goal victory. It was a fitting reward for all the work that Taylah and the girls have put in since the start of the season. Congratulations to Jake Hewitt on playing his 50th game. Everyone at the club is extremely proud of how Jake has turned his life around and has developed into a fine young man and outstanding sportsman. With finals now just a month away maybe the big 104 point win by our senior boys and the 42 point win by the reserves will hopefully act as the catalyst for what we hope could be another exciting time for our club.

It was also a very successful day for the club off the field with the very popular annual Ladies Day in the function room and our Past Players Day in the members bar during the afternoon. A big thank you to Emma and Leah and to Kevin Miles for all the hard work you put into organising and ensuring the outstanding success of those two functions. Thank you also to all our valuable sponsors. We really do appreciate your continued support to our club with a special mention this week to Lisa and Wilma from ROBERTS & GREEN REAL ESTATE for being the weekend’s “Match Day Sponsors” It was certainly a day that made you feel proud to be privileged to be part of this amazing club. Well done to everyone involved! *** Important Dates to lock into your Diaries 1. Presentation Night- Saturday 23rd September. 2. AFL Grand Final Breakfast Saturday 30th September Further details of these functions will be provided once finalised. *** Seniors Report Very proud of the way the boys applied themselves on Saturday against our local rival Crib Point. We played

a terrific brand of team orientated football in very trying conditions. Our ability to the move the ball quickly was outstanding. Our switch was back and our run was certainly there for all to see. To win by 100 points was terrific result, especially in front of our past players. Our next game against Rosebud at Rosebud is going to be a great test for the club. We now have to be ready for this next challenge. We hope we can get a good crowd there to support the boys. Reserves Report We played Crib Point in a must win game to keep hold of our position. We had a great preparation; probably the best for the season. The guys were really switched on and there was a great feeling before the game. We started the game pretty slowly; second to the footy and the Crib Point boys just wanted it more. I gave the boys a bit of a bake at quarter time. To the guys credit the guys responded well really putting the pressure on and putting the score on the board. We came into half-time with a 18 point lead. The third was a bit of a slog with the wind really keeping the ball on the dead side of the ground. We held our lead into the last with that 18 point lead. I asked the guys to really make sure

we go out there and give it our best shot. We did, The guys ran out 42 point winners. We sit third on the ladder with four games to go. We have our destiny in our own hands. Best players. Josh Ward who is having an outstanding year in the ruck, really giving our mids first use. Dylan Paarberg who is playing some unbelievable footy. And also Simon Clancy who put himself back into form with a solid four quarter effort. Our next two games are massive, playing first and second respectively. It will be a great test for our young team and we really look forward to the challenge in playing these teams. Under 19s Report Another hard-fought game against Crib point on the weekend. Always a great contest against our local rival. We started well winning centre clearances thanks to great work from Joel Taylor, Peter Megee and Ben Paalberg. Unfortunately we once again didn’t capitalise on early opportunities. Crib Point lifted and kicked goals due to some loose checking in the backline and started to pull away. We held them for the rest of the day and maintained the margin we gave away early. Overall a good perfor-

mance from the boys. Best on the day Joel Taylor Michael Tanner Peter Megee. Netball Report C grade had a reasonably good day. Despite losing the match, they challenged the Crib Point girls at every stage. The most pleasing part of the result was that have to dramatically improve the result from the first time we played them. Coach Nicole Marasco was very pleased with their effort and their never give in attitude. B grade was great display of hard fought netball with neither team taking a backward step. The Hastings girls got off to a great start in the first quarter taking the lead. The Crib Point girls kept chipping away at the lead, drawing level during the third quarter. There was plenty of opportunity provided from the defenders in the last quarter but with the wild windy conditions the attack end couldn’t convert. In the end Crib Point got over the line by three goals. *** A big thank you to Crib Point for playing each match an hour earlier so we could have our Ladies Day function which was a great success.
