Police operation targets illegal bikes

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

A VICTORIA Police operation is tar geting monkey bike riders.

Operation “Rolling Boulder” began at the start of the month, with police pouring more time and resources into catching riders of illegally modified bikes.

Carrum Downs Victoria Police senior sergeant Alan Courtney said that the op eration was important as monkey bike riding can have deadly consequences.

“Riding illegal dirt or monkey bikes on our streets and through our parks is never harmless fun. Our communi ty is rightly sick of it and police have zero tolerance for any activity that threatens the safety of our communi ty,” Courtney said. “We know all too well the devastating consequences of

illegal dirt bike riding, from signifi cantly damaged parklands to the cata strophic loss of life that can occur.”

In 2015, a mother was killed out side Carrum Downs Shopping Centre after being struck by a monkey bike.

Courtney said that Operation Roll ing Boulder had “already sent a strong message to anyone owning or riding illegal dirt or monkey bikes, with police arresting a 23-year-old Frankston man on the first day of the

operation.”

On 2 September this year, police in vestigated a community report about a man allegedly riding an illegal bike in Frankston. Frankston Highway Patrol members later interviewed a 23-year-old Frankston man, and say that he will be charged with unli censed driving, owning unregistered vehicles, and failure to wear a helmet.

The police operation will see local officers work alongside the highway

patrol, divisional intelligence unit, drone unit, and tasking unit to catch riders of illegal bikes. Victoria Police also hopes to work with Frankston Council and Parks Victoria to gather intelligence, identify offenders, and impound and destroy bikes.

Anyone who has information on illegal monkey bike riders can con tact Crime Stoppers confidentially at crimestoppersvic.com.au or call on 1800 333 000.

Heritage hopes for train station dashed

A PUSH to have the Parkdale Station building heritage pro tected has failed.

Kingston Council had been advocating to have a heritage overlay placed over the station in the Kingston Planning Scheme. In a statement, council confirmed that the state gov ernment had turned down the request.

The state government is building skyrail to replace two level crossings at Warrigal Road and Parkers Road. A new Parkdale Station will be built as part of the project.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said that council had wanted to place a heritage overlay over the site to “protect impor tant historic buildings and irreplaceable trees”. Councillor Tim Cochrane called the decision to reject the heritage push “deeply troubling”.

“In a community survey on the project more than 60 per cent supported council’s request for the Victorian Govern ment to preserve and relocate the heritage station buildings,” Cochrane said. “Our community is already deeply concerned about the impact that the level crossing removal works will have on the village atmosphere of Parkdale. This decision is deeply troubling, and casts further doubt on whether Park dale’s unique character will be taken into consideration dur ing this major project. The Level Crossing Removal Project has a responsibility to be aware and respond to local char acter, particularly in such a sensitive location as Parkdale.”

Kingston Council says that it contacted the planning min ister asking for permission to begin the heritage overlay pro cess in April. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, the body overseeing Heritage Victoria, was contacted for comment.

At a 4 August meeting the Heritage Council of Victoria, a separate independent body to Heritage Victoria, decided that Parkdale Station should not be included on the state’s herit age register because it “is not of state-level cultural heritage significance”. That followed a recommendation in May from Heritage Victoria’s executive director that the site not be in cluded on the register.

The Times asked the LXRP what it plans to do with the old Parkdale Station building. LXRP program director Anto nia Buckland said “we’ve carried out extensive community consultation which is helping to shape the project, including how we will incorporate the existing Parkdale Station build ing into the designs.”

In June the LXRP released its preliminary plans for the Parkdale Station precinct. Kingston Council has drafted its own plans for the rail redevelopment. It has asked the state government to build a new shared use path and refurbish the train station building (“Council presents plans for Parkdale skyrail”, The Times, 3/8/22).

See sea shell sculpture at shopping centre

A NEW sculpture has been unveiled at the Karingal Hub Shopping Cen tre.

Sound Shell was revealed to the public on 21 September. The artwork is 2.5 metres tall and also features a soundscape element.

The sculpture is the work of Morn ington Peninsula resident Christabel Wigley. She said that the piece was inspired by “the beauty and evocative nature of a seashell”.

“The pattern has been hand-craft ed and carved from a giant block of polystyrene, with plaster sculpting ridges and nodes applied to produce the Turbo shell. I hope the final result will spark discovery and interaction, probing memories of place and con nection to nature,” she said.

Karingal Hub Shopping Centre manager Richard Devlin said the sculpture is “the perfect centrepiece for our Town Square precinct and the first piece of commissioned art as part of Karingal Hub’s Art Trail, transforming Karingal Hub into a lifestyle destination as much as a leading shopping centre in Victoria’s south-east.”

Audio for the shell sculpture’s soundscape was recorded in local Bunurong language by Uncle Mik Edwards and N’arweet Dr Carolyn Briggs AM.

Safety first when riding boards

SURFERS, paddlers, and other aquatic board and craft riders are being urged to prioritise their safety around water after new research from Life Saving Victoria showed the activities were a leading cause of drownings.

Last summer dozens of incidents involv ing stranded water users were recorded on the Mornington Peninsula by water rescue opera tors, including LSV, the SES, water police and the coast guard.

In January, two teenage paddle boarders had to be rescued at Mount Eliza after being blown nearly five kilometres offshore, and a 12-yearold boy at Frankston had to be rescued after he was unable to paddle to shore.

According to the data, men are at particular risk while surfing and aquatic board riding, making up 96 per cent of all related fatal inci dents since the year 2000.

LSV manager research and evaluation Dr Hannah Calverley said there were simple but important measures surfers and aquatic board riders could take to keep themselves safe in the lead up to spring.

“Many Victorians will be eager to take advan tage of warmer weather after a cold winter, but it is important to remember your skills and fit ness may have regressed since your last swim, surf or other aquatic board activity,” Calverley said. “Before you go to the beach or inland waterway to surf, paddle or windsurf, be sure to check the weather, being aware that conditions can change quickly and without warning, and always head out with a friend.

“Historically, a quarter of Victorian drown ings occur in spring, making it the second deadliest season after summer, so the risk is very real.”

Surfing Victoria CEO Adam Robertson en couraged beginner surfers and paddleboarders to start with lessons and to know and stick to their limits.

“Surfing and stand up paddleboarding are a fantastic way to enjoy the water, but it’s im perative that you do so safely, and that includes learning from the professionals who can pass on vital safety tips to ensure you make it home,” Robertson said.

“It is important that you are familiar with aquatic risks such as rips and other currents, as well as etiquette, while surfing or paddleboard ing. When you’re ready to head out without a guide, surfing with an experienced friend is the safest transition.

“If you find yourself in trouble in the water, stay with your board as it will help to keep you afloat while you wait for help.”

LSV and Surfing Victoria agreed that swim ming regularly throughout the year was key to maintaining aquatic skills and fitness, and could improve safety outcomes for surfers, paddlers and other aquatic board riders while recreating in the water.

Surfing Victoria also encouraged surfers to get trained up in CPR and board rescue skills through the Surfers Rescue 24/7 program at surfingvic.com/surfersrescue247

Protections for, and from, wildlife

WARNINGS have been issued to be wary of wildlife on land and at sea for their protection and to avoid personal injury.

The Conservation Regulator wants visitors to keep their distance from whales following as videos of dangerous interactions increase on social media.

Videos of swimmers, surfers and people in boats getting too close to whales posted on social media encouraging behaviour which threatens the animal’s health and welfare.

Investigations are being made into nine reports of boats being too close to whales this season as well as individuals seen in several videos posted online.

Water patrols are being carried out this month as part of the Conservation Regulator’s Opera tion Calyx to make sure people is keeping their distance from whales, dolphins and seals.

The Arthur Rylah Institute’s Whaleface project has this season reported 125 sightings of southern-right whales along the Victorian coast, including seven cow-calf pairs in the south-west.

Swimmers and surfers must stay at least 50 metres away from whales, while boats must keep at least 200 metres - or two soccer fields - away and jet skis 300 metres away.

Wildlife crime can be reported to Crime Stop pers on 1800 333 000.

Meanwhile, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) warns that spring means swooping native birds, such as magpies and masked lapwings.

Senior wildlife projects officer, Katherine Whittaker, said some native birds swoop to defend their eggs and young for the six to eight weeks until they leave the nest.

“Swooping is basically a scare tactic to warn people and animals not to come near their nest ing young. Birds may swoop people or animals, so be mindful of your dogs too,” Whittaker said. “However, not all birds swoop to protect their eggs and young during the breeding season, so don't be concerned simply because there are magpies or other common swooping birds in the

area.”

Whittaker’s tips to avoid being swooped: know your local swooping hotspots; avoid the area if possible; move quickly, but do not run; cover your head with a hat, helmet or umbrella, but don’t wave it around; do not harass or feed birds.

To miss known swooping hotspots or to report a swooping incident on Victoria's interactive swooping bird map, visit wildlife.vic.gov.au/ managing- wildlife/swooping-birds

Trees help koalas move on in life

THE Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation 2022 project is well underway, with more than 14,000 trees planted this year around Balnarring and Merricks, and another 6000 scheduled for planting by the end of October.

This year marks the project’s third year to establish vegetation corridors linking fragmented populations of koalas. Thousands of trees were planted at Arthurs Seat, Somers and Balnarring during 2020/2021.

Group president, co-founder and 2022 Morn ington Peninsula Shire Citizen of the Year Dirk Jansen said the project had received support from property owners providing land for tree planting, and volunteers.

“We would love to welcome more of the com munity to join us at our planting days throughout September and October,” he said.

“Many hands make light work. It is very satis fying to be a part of a group of keen volunteers and plant five hundred trees in just two to three hours. It is a lovely way to start the weekend.”

Jansen received the citizen of the year award for his work in establishing the MPKC. What

began as a Facebook group to share concerns about the decline in numbers of koalas on the peninsula, has now grown to a 300-member Landcare group s.

He said the loss of indigenous vegetation was the main reason for the decline of koalas on the peninsula.

“More than 70 per cent of koala and wildlife habitat on the peninsula is on private property. Therefore, it is not good enough to expect Parks Victoria or the government to do more to save our wildlife, it is a community issue and needs a community effort,” he said.

Jansen said providing indigenous vegetation links between habitat pockets meant koalas would be less likely to be injured or killed cross ing roads, caught in fences, or being attacked by dogs.

“We have so many opportunities for volunteers to make a real difference to our environment and provide shelter and food for koalas and other species. As a community, we are stronger when we work together,” he said.

GOOD WITH WOOD

SBS, 7.35pm

Former Great British Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc (pictured right) brings her unique brand of wideeyed wonder and cheeky commentary to this hands-on reality competition series. The calibre of Giedroyc’s timber-based puns is a joy to witness as 10 British woodworking enthusiasts enter the Welsh woodland workshop for the first time in tonight’s second-season premiere. On this episode they create dining tables inspired by a country of their choice.

Comedian Tom Gleeson (pictured) doesn’t try to rewrite the wheel in this somewhat old-fashioned stand-up routine. The Quiz host and Gold Logie winner doesn’t waver from what he knows best, keeping things simple and straightforward with a steady stream of jokes and observations that probably strike a chord with an older audience. That’s not to say his routine, which includes ruminations of reusable bottles and high blood pressure, won’t be amusing to younger folk. There’s no bells and whistles here, and perhaps that’s what makes Gleeson a pleasure to watch.

Frankston Cycling Club organise road race

***

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A VERY successful meeting of the newly-formed Frankston District Cy cling Club was held last night when it was decided to hold the first road race on Saturday, October 21, over a course of 15 miles, on the Cranbourne Road, starting from Wheeler’s corner and finishing at about the cricket ground site.

Entries close on October 14, at “The Standard” office; entry fee, 2/-.

Three place prizes and a prize for the fastest time unplaced will be awarded.

Mr. Beeson, the League handicap per, again attended and submitted a set of rules which were adopted in their entirety.

Several city firms have promised trophies to be run for, and these will be decided at a later date.

The colors of the club are to be the same as the Frankston Football club (red and black).

A great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused amongst the cycling fraternity of the Peninula in the formation of this club, which promises to be a great success.

It will help to restore this healthy form of sport to its former prestige, and create that feeling of comradeship that is so well known amongst cyclists generally.

***

A MEETING of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Electric Light Committee was held at the Municipal Chambers, Frankston, on Wednesday night.

The Shire President (Cr. W. Armstrong, J.P.) presided. Crs. W. P.

Mason, F. H. Wells, W. J. Oates, J. B. Howell and H. J. McCulloch, with Messrs. D. J. Quartermain, Stewart, and John E. Jones (Shire Secretary) were also present.

In reference to consumers in Kars Street, it was decided to approve of the extension on condition that the 25 extra consumers were signed up before work started.

On the motion of Crs. Mason and Wells, Mr. Quartermain was in structed to canvass Mornington Road residents for new consumers.

Acting on the suggestion of Crs. Oates and Wells, Mr. Stewart was instructed to meet the McCulloch and Albion Sand Companies to see what the requirements may be at the sand pits.

Crs. Armstrong and Howell moved that Contractor Warren be asked to clear away tree tops cut and left on Point Nepean Road; failing the work not being done within seven days, same to be done at his expense.

It was resolved to request the Railways Department to have the subway at Frankston supplied with more improved lighting facilities, and that Station Street, Seaford, be given improved lighting.

It was likewise resolved to place extra electric light at the bend near Mr. Dickenson’s residence.

Dr. S. S. Cameron lodged a com plaint re lighting, and it was decided to leave the matter in Mr. Quarter main’s hands to settle.

On the motion of Cr. Wells, the Shire Secretary was instructed to notify all councillors upon receipt of information reference to Mr.

Kermode’s’ visit of inspection of the Kananook Creek improvement scheme.

***

MR. H. Teasdale, who is now in charge of the National Bank at Frankston, was presented, with a valuable travelling rug, as a parting gift from the sporting bodies with which he was connected at Dande nong, at the Cricket Club dance in the Dandenong Town Hall, on Thursday evening last.

Mr. A. Branston made the presen tation, and in doing so, referred in complimentary terms to Mr. Teas dale’s sporting activities, the latter briefly acknowledging the gift, which he said he valued all the more coming as it did from his sporting friends in Dandenong.

***

MISS Nellie Clements, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Clements, of “Forest Lodge,” Baxter, was success ful in winning a half scholarship at the recent examinations held by the Metropolitan Business College.

Miss Clements attends the Baxter school, where Mr. Sorrell is the pre siding genius.

***

MR. C. Hunter, who has been compelled, owing to ill-health, to relinquish his position as president of the Seaford Progress Association, held that office for four years.

He was exceedingly popular with members, and exerted every means in his power to advance the interests of that organisation.

He took a prominent part in all movements calculated to benefit the

district, and was the moving spirit in bringing city cricket teams to Seaford at least once a year.

A LUCKY escape from a serious accident was experienced by Mr. J. White, of Windsor, about 10 o’clock on Sunday evening.

He was returning with his wife from a day’s outing at Frankston, and the stearing gear of his Bayard car became disconnected when he was half-way between Aspendale and Edithvale.

Fortunately there was not much traffic on the road at that hour, for the car swerved while traveliling at the rate of 25 miles per hour, and, ploughing through the soft earth at the side of the road, narrowly missed a tree–guard and a telegraph pole, and by a quick application of the brakes was brought to a standstill on the foothpath within a few inches of the fence.

The car was towed to a local garage next morning, and the gear was repaired.

THE first schnapper of the season to be caught off the local shores was landed by “Skipper” Cameron and his crew in their motor boat, “BMC” on Sunday last.

It was a beauty, weighing 14½. lb., and as the party had gone out without a gaff Frank Albery “yanked” the fish into the boat by the tail.

Amazing Feets In A Soccer Shocker

By Stuart McCullough

IT’S been a while. In fact, it’s been so long that I was not so much a little rusty as completely demolished by the elements. For decades, I’ve success fully avoided anything that might be described as ‘organised sport’; prefer ring, instead, the more disorganised kind. But there was nowhere to hide other than the boot of my car. And just like the boot of my car, there was no getting out of it. I was going to play soccer.

I’ve been watching soccer all season. More specifically, I’ve been watching a nine-year-old play each week and have experienced the unforgettable highs and best-expunged-from-yourmemory lows as I’ve felt every pass, goal and kick of the season. Each week, without fail, I offer to take the field if I’m needed. And, each week, without exception, the nine-year-old informs me they’re not that desperate.

This, however, was different. Whereas I’d been baying at the side lines for weeks, the official season was now over and all that remained was a ‘Family Fun Day’, the highlight of which was a ‘Parents versus Kids’ soccer match. Despite being repeated ly advised that this was occurring, my body refused to believe it and I was ambling along in a state of Saturday morning stupor. That was all about to change.

I have a history of not being se lected. In primary school, my depth of my primary athletic ambition was to be selected second last. There’s noth ing worse than watching your more gifted peers pause as they try to decide

between you and the wheelie bin for their team. I had assumed ‘Family Fun Day’ would follow a similar format.

Potential players would be considered before being ushered off in the general direction of the bench. I was prepared to accept my fate.

But things took an unexpected turn. I arrived and was advised that I was ‘needed’. By that I inferred that so

few adults were willing to risk life and limb with a hoard of rampaging nine year olds, they were willing to take anyone. I then began to wonder if the other adults knew something that I did not. Exactly what level of danger was I exposing myself to? But within mo ments it became clear – it’s not that they were accepting anyone. It’s that they were accepting everyone.

As I understand it, in soccer each team is only allowed to field a certain number of players at any given time. This rule does not apply to a ‘Parents versus Kids’ soccer match. Instead, there were about thirty children on the field, all of whom came up to my rib cage, and around fifteen adults. We were outnumbered but had a distinct height advantage. As the whistle blew and all hell broke loose, it occurred to me that I had no real understanding of the rules, despite having watched numerous matches. ‘Offside’ has been explained to me on multiple occasions but remains as mysterious and confus ing as the multiple-dimension Spider man-verse.

There were people everywhere.

My primary aim was to ensure that I didn’t totally ‘Boris’ a nine-year-old by knocking one over. More than any thing, I didn’t want to injure a child and have to apologise to their parents.

As the ball flew across the pitch, I took off like a shot.

A couple of things became very obvious, very quickly. Firstly, run ning up and down the pitch wasn’t a problem because I run pretty much everyday. This contrasted with some of the adults who, having started off strongly, were soon reduced to plant ing their hands on their hips and turn ing a deep shade of puce as they tried to draw breath. The second thing was that I had absolutely no ball skills at all. In fact, the first time the ball came anywhere near me, I fell over.

I used to fall over all the time as a kid. Then, suddenly, you reach an age where falling over is a really big

deal. With the assistance of another adult and a small crane, I returned to my feet and kept running. I took some shots at goal (I missed) and managed to intercept and make a few passes. I was having a great time until the inevi table happened – I had to go toe to toe with my nine-year-old. Unfortunately, ‘toe to toe’ in this instance means we kicked each other.

He was the goalkeeper. I was near the goals when the ball arrived. Both of us charged at the ball and sunk our boots in – to each other. A shooting pain ran up my foot as we collided. The agony was so intense that I feared the limb was in danger of falling off al together. I looked down at my meagre sneaker and then at his football boot and realised that I had come off sec ond, if not third or fourth best. In addi tion, he wasn’t crying at all whereas I was a human puddle of tears.

It’s my first time playing in a ‘Par ents versus Kids’ soccer match. You could put it down to a lack of skill but, truth be told, it’s probably because I’m not a parent. But I’m something. Even though we were on opposing teams, I could hear the nine-year-old yelling out messages of encouragement to me as I played. It meant a lot. And even if playing a soccer match in which you kick a nine-year-old doesn’t sound like the most responsible thing, there was no place I’d have rather been. The following day my foot was aubergine purple, but it was worth it. I felt, if even for a few moments, like I was part of something. And that, of itself, was amazing.

Foster returns, Nardino arrives

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

BAXTER shot-stopper James Fos ter last week re-signed for a sixth straight season and will be officially joined this week by Frankston Pines goalkeeper Jarrod Nardino.

The pair will go head-to-head for the prized No 1 spot in a senior squad reshaped by first-time senior coach Stephen Fisher.

Foster’s junior career involved stints at Langwarrin, Caulfield Co bras, Peninsula Strikers and South Eastern Piranhas and his senior clubs have been Langy and Baxter.

His full senior debut for Langwar rin was in the derby cauldron at Dal las Brooks Park against Mornington and the then teenager acquitted him self well.

Now 24 years old he has been a walk-up start as Baxter’s first choice throughout his time there but faces competition next season.

“I was 50/50 about not playing again but I’m confident that the new coaching crew will be good for us as a team going forward,” Foster said.

That’s a reference to Fisher, assis tant Hayden Taylor and new goal keeping coach Chris Jones.

“But I’m not there to be a fringe keeper,” Foster added.

Neither is Nardino.

The 25-year-old started as a junior with Mornington then played sen ior football with Peninsula Strikers, Springvale White Eagles and Pines.

He made five appearances in NPL2 East with White Eagles in 2019 and last season was second choice keeper at Pines.

“I had a good relationship with ‘Dos’ (Hayden Taylor) so I followed him over (to Baxter) and I liked the way ‘Fish’ described everything to me and how it was going to work,” Nardino said.

“Plus I thought there was more of an opportunity to play senior football week-in week-out.

“It’s exciting. I was in the reserves last season and there was no competi tion there while it was hard to get into Pines first team.

“The one year I had proper compe tition as senior keeper was at Strikers and it was probably one of the best years I’ve had.”

Foster and Nardino will be under the watchful eye of former South

Jones was Foster’s last goalkeeping coach when the pair were at Lang warrin while Nardino has never met Jones but “has been told all about him.”

Jones admits that he couldn’t say no to Fisher when first approached and he’s keen to start work at Baxter Park.

“It’s just really good to see the club move forward and there’s a huge buzz around the place with the player signings,” Jones said.

“To be honest I haven’t seen these guys (Foster and Nardino) play for a while so it’s going to be a fresh start and I’m really excited about it.

“Obviously we’ll be training really hard and I’m looking forward to see ing what they have to offer.”

Current and prospective players will get their chance to listen to and ask questions of the new coaches at a meet-the-coach evening on Thursday

at Baxter Park.

One of the attendees will be little known Dylan Murchie, announced this week as a new arrival at Baxter Park.

The 24-year-old played two games in Pines’ reserves towards the end of last season and former Pines senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor de scribes him as “a bit of a coup for Baxter.”

“His movement was good and he’s played at a high level,” Taylor said.

“He probably would have been in Pines senior squad next year had I been there.”

Murchie can play up front or as an attacking midfielder.

He grew up in Pretoria and has played in both his native South Africa and in Spain.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin is ac tively pursuing a number of signings from other NPL clubs but won’t con tinue its interest in crack striker Alex Fiechtner from Brisbane Lions.

The 23-year-old NPL Queensland

Golden Boot winner scored 24 goals in 19 games last season.

Striker Ryan Paczkowski, dumped by Langwarrin before the last match of last season, will return to Lawton Park next year – in the colours of Preston Lions.

The former Mornington, Bentleigh Greens and Oakleigh Cannons player agreed terms with this year’s NPL3 champion last week.

Paczkowski’s fiancée, Rachel Stir ton, already plays for Preston and was the VPL Women’s Golden Boot winner this year as her club clinched the championship and Grand Final double and earned a place in the ex panded NPL Women’s competition for 2023.

Another ex-Langy player – goal keeper Fraser Maclaren – might also be back in action at Lawton Park as he is believed to have been made a contract offer by relegated NPL club Dandenong City.

In State 1 news Mornington was blindsided by the departure of assis

tant coach Gerry McDonagh who last week was appointed senior coach of NPL3 club Doveton.

Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson is meeting with a prospective re placement this week and is expected to shortly announce the club’s new reserves coaching set-up after the recent departures of Jason Symonds and Scott Morrison to Peninsula Strikers.

In player news Ziggy Razuki, signed last season from Eastern Li ons, has agreed terms for next season.

In State 2 news Frankston Pines has re-signed captain Ryan Ratcliffe, Daniel Taylor and keeper Thomas Hull with more player announce ments expected from the Monterey Reserve outfit in coming weeks.

Hull is a clutch signing as rumour linked him with NPL3 and State 1 clubs and given that back-up keeper Nardino has left it was important for new coach Trevor Johnston to retain the big English shot-stopper.

Stingrays secure premiership glory

HOCKEY

A FRANKSTON Hockey Club stal wart’s epic scramble to score in a sud den death penalty shootout has seen the Stingrays secure premiership glory in the men’s Vic League Three grand final.

After missing his initial chance early in the shootout, Brendan Taylor’s pen alty goal gave the Stingrays a 3-2 lead in the shootout. Scores were tied 1-1 with RMIT at full-time in last week end’s grand final at the State Hockey Centre.

Frankston’s Nicholas Nixon scored early in the second quarter, with the Stingrays overall dominating the first half.

In the second half RMIT played quick counter-attack hockey and evened the scoreboard in the fourth quarter with only seven minutes re maining.

The first shootout, with five players from each side having eight second to beat the goalie, resulted in one a piece. Andy Mills scored for Frankston. The subsequent shootout was a sudden death elimination.

RMIT’s leading goal scorer for the year Thomas Pollock went first and confidently scored.

Frankston and the league’s leading goal scorer Andy Mills went next and snuck one past the keeper to even the ledger.

RMIT’s second penalty failed to beat Matthew Tang in goals for Frankston, opening an opportunity for Taylor.

Taylor’s initial shot on goal was saved by RMIT’s keeper, but scram

bling to follow up, Taylor dove back wards and nudged the ball over the goal line – earning the victory and a broken collarbone.

Taylor, who celebrated 400 first grade games played with Frankston earlier this year, said the break was worth scoring the winning goal.

“It was extra special for me after re turning from retirement in 2016 and an

ACL reconstruction in 2019,” he said. “I would do it differently and maybe score that first one. I did feel the pres sure but hearing the crowd as I lined up fired me up to do something special for the team and club.”

Stringrays mens coach Andrew Haining said it was exciting to have ended the premiership drought. “This was the result of the work the boys

have put in over a number of tough years and I’m so proud we got the win,” he said. “As many other com munity sport clubs have experienced, dealing with constant player unavail ability due to COVID and other ill ness was a significant challenge for the club.

“We’d regularly have a full team unavailable across the men’s section

and it’s a testament to our depth we’ve built that we’ve remained competitive across all the grades. With promotion into Vic League 2 in 2023, I’m looking forward to seeing this group meet the challenge.”

The men’s firsts had finished the season undefeated with 14 wins and two draws. They scored 70 goals and only conceded eight.
