Bendigo Community Bank A look at what is happening around AFL South East Community Umpire Round This week we get to celebrate the men and women who adjudicate our wonderful games. Each week umpires do their job come rain, hail or shine. The umpires over at SUA, do a fantastic job so make sure you thank them this week and show some appreciation as they are a vital part to both football and netball. On a side note the SUA are looking to recruit some more umpires to adjudicate the FDJFL games. Umpiring is a great way to stay involved in the game, and keep fit. If you are interested in giving umpiring a go please contact the SUA.

Finals Venues SEFNL The AFL South East Commission has announced several of the finals venues for 2017, including Grand Finals.

In what could be a statewide first, the SEFNL Grand Final will be played under lights at Casey Fields on Saturday night September 16. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the quality product SEFNL has to offer. Apart from being able to showcase the product, a night Grand Final also avoids clashes with other Grand Finals such as Nepean and nearby leagues who have Grand Finals on that afternoon In what will be a big day for SEFNL, the netball Grand finals will also be conducted at Casey Fields on the same day. Full details of times will be released in due course.

AFL South East appreciates the assistance of the City of Casey and the Casey Demons in facilitating this initiative.

We can also confirm that the SEFNL Preliminary Finals for football and netball will also be conducted at Casey Fields. A tender process for the hosting rights for weeks 1 & 2 of finals will be conducted shortly.

Women’s Football Commences After what has been a long pre-season I am sure there are many women out there who are delighted that the season proper commences this week end.

AFL South East is managing 3 divisions of South East Womens Football (SEWF). We have 7 teams in SEWF Chisholm Division 1, which includes 2 AFLSE Teams (Cranbourne & Seaford) and 10 teams in SEWF Mornington Racing Course Division 2 which includes 6 AFLSE teams (Beaconsfield, Cranbourne, Edithvale-Aspendale, Mornington, Red Hill and Seaford) We also have 15 teams in the Mornington Racing Course South East Development League, which is a great result for the first year of this league. We also welcome in to our region 4 clubs from Gippsland. Without the co-operation of our Clubs, these girls would not have had a competition to play in. We appreciate there will be some additional travel for some, however for the most part AFLSE Clubs have been very generous in accommodating these extra teams. We hope this will encourage other teams in Gippsland to form their own competition in the future.

Good luck to all the girls playing their first competitive game this weekend.

John Anderson RGM AFL South East

MPNFL In a slight change to previous years, there will be additional Nepean Finals played at Mornington Isuzu Ute Stadium (Frankston Park) this year. Weeks 1 & 2 of finals will have one game at MIU Stadium, followed by the Preliminary Final and Grand Final on the afternoon of September 16.

The Peninsula League will follow a similar path with one final in each of weeks 1 & 2 being at MIU Stadium as well as the Preliminary Final and Grand Final, which will take place on Sunday September 17.

As for SEFNL, the tender process for the hosting of finals in week 1 & 2 for the Nepean and Peninsula Leagues will be conducted shortly.

AFL Vic Country

Bendigo Community Bank 2017 Community Umpiring Round AFL Victoria and the wider football community will pause to acknowledge the terrific work undertaken by our umpires this weekend in the AFL’s dedicated Community Umpiring Round.

Held from May 6 - 8, the initiative is designed to recognise those patrolling the boundary, manning the goal line and controlling the action out in the middle each week, and the huge role they play in our game.

In Victoria alone there are more than 7,000 registered umpires at community level, along with thousands of club-based umpires, who commit their time and energy to allow those chasing the Sherrin the chance to do so safely.

To celebrate the occasion, a host of AFL Umpires will forgo their usual training session and instead disband and travel to community umpiring groups across Victoria to engage with local members and facilitate training sessions.

In addition, six members from each community umpiring group have been invited to develop their skills and knowledge of the game under the guidance of some of the game’s national umpiring coaches at IKON Park.

AFL Umpires’ Coaches Simon Leigh (Boundary), Steve Stirling (Goal) and Hayden Kennedy (Field) will take the fortunate umpires through their paces in an on-field training session and provide an insight to how AFL Umpires are coached.

Across Victoria, huge efforts are being made to attract umpires from all walks of life, with the development of Diversity Umpire Academies and Female Umpiring Academies growing from strength to strength.

If you are new to the game, or your playing days are over, than umpiring is a great way to contribute to community football.

Regardless of your age, gender, culture or ability, anyone can get involved in umpiring and enjoy the many benefits the roles provide.

Not only do you get the best view of the action, but it helps keep you fit, be part of a team and learn leadership skills that you can take with you when you walk off the ground.

For details on how you can become an umpire, visit www.aflvic.com.au/umpiring

WorkSafe AFL Victoria Country Football Manager Jim Cail

Furthermore, four lucky members of community umpiring groups will lead out their AFL counterparts at all of AFL matches in Round 7 and enjoy a taste of an AFL Umpire’s match-day experience.

Community Umpiring Round is also another opportunity to encourage those who want to be involved in the greatest game in the world to take up umpiring.

Football Preview Tough going for Eagles at the Meadows

By Toe Punt Devon Meadows and Somerville looms as the match of the day this afternoon in MPNFL Nepean football.

The Meadows have shown some good form so far this season, which has culminated in two victories in its past two matches. Its percentage of 122 per cent is testament to its solid performances this season.

To be fair to the Meadows, they could arguably be sitting in fifth place with three wins given the controversial end to the game against Pearcedale when the game was calledoff due to the storms.

Against Hastings, Devon Meadows led at three quarter time.

Whilst the club was in the news for all the wrong reasons during the pre-season, given its unprecedented number of departures, its performances have shown a steely resolve of the group and it should be congratulated for this.

The recruitment of Allan Murray has been a masterstroke and he is dominating the competition. Glenn Michie is an attacking coach and when you have a player of Murray’s calibre; it supports an attacking game style.

8

Kyle Salerno had a break-out game last week with five goals and this should be the minimum output from him from this point. Kyle is a gifted footballer who has not realised his potential to this point (not consistently anyway). His best is exceptional and let’s hope we see more domination.

Somerville came crashing down to earth with a thud last week, beaten comfortably by Rosebud.

After giving the Buds a seven goal start, the Eagles were able to go toe to toe with them; however, the damage had been done. It was the Eagles’ first loss though and it just may have given them a reality check.

The Meadows have been very consistent this season and at home, it’s hard to see them getting beaten.

PEARCEDALE will be looking to get back to basics when it hosts SORRENTO today.

The Panthers got the job done with Barry Hall but lost a game it was expected to win against Rye last Saturday – perhaps they got ahead of themselves!

There’ll be no room for complacency against the top of the table Sharks, who have put Dromana and Crib Point to the sword in successive weeks.

It’s hard to get a gig in Sorrento’s seniors at the moment and competition for spots is at a premium. This means that performances are right on. Troy Schwarze was rested last week and you would expect him to come back in. Troy loves playing at Pearcedale!

The Sharks’ many avenues to goal will be hard for Pearcedale to contain and its midfield depth is a concern for any opposition.

We know the Panthers are a better side at home but it won’t be enough to beat Sorrento.

CRIB POINT goes from one tough task to another – Sorrento last week and HASTINGS today.

I’m not sure there has been a darker day in recent times than last week for the Pies, kicking just two goals in seniors and reserves.

We got a false sense of optimism for the Magpies after its round one win against Tyabb. Tyabb’s performances prove that it was no big deal.

Since then, the Pies have been on the receiving end of some hidings.

Hastings was vintage last week against Dromana. The Blues dominated all over the park, starting with Josh Mulheron in the ruck. Luke Hewitt was unstoppable.

We had this match pencilled-in as the match of the day; however, given recent performances, we ditched it.

The Blues will take no mercy on their neighbour and dishout a can of whoop this afternoon.

You’ve got to ask the question – what is going-on at DROMANA?

www.nepeanfnl.com.au

Football Preview The Tigers have been belted by Sorrento, Frankston and what it dished-up against Hastings on Saturday was putrid.

It doesn’t get any easier today against ROSEBUD, a team that was in a mood early last week and are sure to be again today.

The Tigers were expected to be an improver this season but we’re having conversations about them in the same vein as Tyabb and Crib Point.

Dromana is a proud club but at the moment is in danger of becoming irrelevant, which is a far cry from any year of the past 10 years.

Rosebud is one of those teams fighting it out for fourth or fifth and it won’t let a game like this one slip.

RYE should be congratulated for their effort against Pearcedale last week, although it was no surprise to the Godfather of Rye, Scott Beel, who predicted the win on the RPP Footy Show.

Rye have unashamedly gone down the youth path and with any new team of kids, things are going to take time.

On Saturday, the Demons were challenged by Pearcedale but answered.

Things don’t get any easier in this competition though and FRANKSTON BOMBERS is the hardest gig to overcome right now.

www.nepeanfnl.com.au

Football Preview The Bombers were challenged last week but as all good sides do, they pushed through, made the most of their opportunities and came away with the all-important four points.

The Bombers love playing at RJ Rowley Reserve and will be far too strong for the Demons today.

RED HILL will be looking to bounce back against TYABB at the pond.

The Hillmen had their chances against Frankston but didn’t take them. The defence worked hard and the forwards couldn’t capitalise. Good sides make opposition pay.

Tony Blackford will no doubt use this game to rest a player or two who may be a little sore. It’s a long season and player management is paramount.

Tyabb has proven that it is not competitive, which is unfortunately a step backwards from last season. It’s not fun stating it and it doesn’t do anyone any good stating it, however, reality is reality and footy, even at local level, is a tough business.

Let’s hope that the Yabbies find something in the coming weeks, however, it still wouldn’t be enough to beat Red Hill today.

Club Notes

It was a tough day last week against Sorrento with only 1 or the 3 football sides getting taking home the 4 points. The 19’s dominated the play early but didn’t convert on the scoreboard. After a spray from Coach Andrew Wisken the boys lifted and played some good team footy to win comfortably. Will Larkin was best on while Joseph ‘Joey Jo Jo’ Smith, Daniel Henry, Aaron Whitford, Nick Rutherford and Dylan Van Ruyven all played key roles in the win.

The Reserves were embarrassed by a slick and experienced Sorrento side and only managed 1 point for the day. Maffew Sloper wound back the clock with a brilliant performance at FB. Jacob ‘the big show’ Cook made his comeback and added a touch of class to Crib Points defence while Elliot Avis battled hard all day in his first game for the black white and teal.

It was the same story for the Seniors with Crib Point getting outclassed and outplayed on every line. Saturday was always going to be a tough game against the quality of Sorrento, especially since their Captain and spiritual leader Mitch ‘Pud’ Stansborough is out with a foot injury. Riley bowman stood up in his first game for the senior club and didn’t look out of place. Zak Dekleuver battled hard on ex AFL player Chris Dawes while Ben King worked tirelessly in the ruck.

Football can be a tough game at the best of times and coming off 100+ beltings makes it even tougher. Crib Point need to bounce back and what better way to do it than against cross town rivals Hastings

Club Notes

Two wins out of three for the Blue boys on the weekend against Dromana.

The thirds were a bit disappointing against the young Dromana team, and it is probably a game the young blues let slip, but with a young emerging group you do get some inconsistancys, and no doubt the Thirds will be back on the winners list soon.

The Reserves had a comfortable win against their opponents, while the game wasn’t pretty, and our game style was lacking, it was a good win, and as the ressies find a bit of form, they will get better.

The Seniors had their best start to the game for the season with a 7 goal opening term, and from there they did not look back, a lot of players found a bit of form that had been missing this year, as the Powerful Hastings unit recorded a strong 101 point win, it was a great 4 quarter performance and hopefully a start of things to come as the seniors look to defend their title.

Don’t forget to book your tickets for John Coleman/ Hall of fame lunch.

May the 13th 12 pm start $65 per head, 3 coarse meal including beer,wine soft drink, Guest speaker Michael Roach, comedy relief by the Nelson Twins.

Club Notes

Good to be back in the lovely tree-lined, green surrounds of Glover Reserve again this week as we welcome the Somerville Football Netball Club to our lovely part of the world. Spirits are high after our second win on the trot, and our sights are set on the hat trick today. Reasonable day out for the club at Tyabb last week with the mixed bag of a draw, loss and a win for the day. The Budgie Show was out in full force with a 9 goal haul and a travelling fan club going end-to-end at Bunguyan Reserve to cheer on every major. Took an hour of footy to shake off the nipping Yabbies, but a big second half saw us take the choccies by 70 odd points. From all reports our Vice President Kingy did eventually make his way back across the paddock and hosted a big night in Tyabb’s hottest club - Sportsbar del Kinga. Photos from the night may be found on the dark web if you know where to look. Plenty to play for this week, and with a 14 day break coming up we are looking at a big day of competitive, hard footy from all sides. Stick around after the game for a drink or 2 in Flano’s Bar, always a good atmosphere as we have a meat raffle and present awards to the best players along with scores from around the grounds and a comprehensive netball update. See you there! Upcoming Function - 3rd June - DMFNC 40th Birthday celebration - Put it in your diary!

Go Meadows!

Club Notes

Our terrible run of losses in our top 2 grades continued last week down at Rosebud. It will have to be another year when the 1s and 2s break their hoodoo at Olympic Oval. The U19s played extremely well, got away to a flyer and then kept Rosebud at bay for a ripping 5 goal win. This has set their season up nicely. Great effort lads! The 2s were terrible. Their season is hanging by a thread and if they don’t start to pull their finger’s out soon, their season will be over. Yes injuries have played apart, but there are to many passengers and not enough guys on the track putting in. They must turn it around this week!

The 1s continued their poor starts at Rosebud. Once again, Rosebud were switched on from the first bounce and smashed us around the contests to kick 8 goals to 1 in the first quarter. For the rest game we kept pace with them but the game was over at quarter time. We just don’t seem to bring our ‘A’ game when we go to Rosebud. Whether it is the conditions, ground size or too far from home, we never seem switched on.

It cant happen today! We have extremely tough game against Devon at Devon, where anything less than 3 from 3 will put some of our teams seasons on the line.

With a couple of key outs we need to cover for them and bank the points before the bye. Don’t forget our first Social event tonight - Back To School is the theme.

The Business Lunch is on May 12th at the club - see Ben or Matt Page for details. It is always a great day!

Club Notes

Our sponsors for this round against old rivals Rosebud are Foodworks Dromana and Laneway Espresso Today’s Senior game is played for the Matthews Shield and prior to the game the Matthews family will officially unveil the ‘The Colin Matthews Wing’ signage.

Our U19s showed how much they have improved over the last few games by comprehensively defeating fourth placed Hastings and moving into the five.

Our Reserves, struggling to field a consistent team, matched with Hastings until halftime but fell away after the break. The Seniors struck a Hastings side that was solid all over the park and were never in the hunt for the four points.

Club Notes

Our district football league engages a number of nearby communities, providing our competition with a wealth of “local derbies” and “traditional rivalries” played with competitive spirit and significantly enhancing our community football culture! This week we challenge traditional rivals Dromana – on their patch, for the Matthews Shield, named in recognition of the wonderful contribution made to local Rosebud/ Dromana footy by the Matthews family. Last week’s convincing win over the then undefeated Eagles saw a recognisable return to a hard at it brand of football, featuring hard running, good ball movement & relentless tackling. Our leaders were up and about early in the game & consistent throughout – Jack (acting Captain), Jackson, Keegan (7), Big Time, Peggy & Sean were excellent in a high performance team effort. Our backline were also instrumental to the result. Well done also to Reid Nanscawen on making his senior debut.

Our Development Squad, a much younger version of our 2016 Premiership team, have really started to gel as a team under Luke’s direction and completely controlled their game. Benny G, Schutlzy (7), Fabulous Phil, Daniel C, Mewy & Mitch were standouts. The U19’s were overrun by a more experienced, bigger bodied opposition but did not give-up trying. Joel H, Aaron C, Captain Nathan, Mitch S, Benny J and Izaac D-C fought on manfully. Today at Dromana we put the win – loss ratio on the positive side of the ledger.

GoBuds!

Firstly apologies for the lack of notes last week. The pigeons have had a stern talking to and they know the feathers will fly if it happens again. Speaking of feathers, Eggs were evidently ruffled by the lack of notes maybe a quick scramble might be on the menu in the future Egg. Like the story of the Old Italian Fisherman jigging for squid on the Rye Pier that was the one that got away last week. That ground and that mob seem to have something over us, time to change that next time around. Might also be time to get someone from the Umpires down to clarify the rules with us as well?

Today we welcome the Mothers, Wives, Girlfriends, Sisters, Grandmothers, Aunts and a couple of dodgy blokes who like dressing up to Ladies Day. Enjoy the afternoon. Partake in some of Chris & Maria’s Baxter Valley Wineries Finest. Come over to the carpark and browse the stalls set up with great gifts for Mother’s Day which is just around the corner. Supporting the Jane McGrath Foundation.

We also welcome the Sharks of Sorrento who have no doubt dusted off the moleskins, RM Williams Shirts, Scarves & Corduroy Jackets complete with leather patches on the elbows for their annual trip to the country. Let’s turn it on both on and off the field and give the Sorra a taste of old fashioned country footy and some unique Tractor Park spirit.

Don’t forget:Round 7 Sponsors and Past Players day.

Let everyone know to come to the Dales for a fabulous afternoon V Red Hill.

Club Notes

Last week we headed over to Crib Point to take on the Magpies and while the Seniors and Reserves continued their unblemished start to the season, the Under 19s were overcome by the stronger opposition.

In what was a fitting celebration for Ben ‘Junior’ McCormack’s 250th game, the Sharks easily accounted for Cribby by over 24 goals in a really dominant display.

Ben has been a long-serving champion of the club and it was great to see him achieve that milestone in such triumphant fashion.

The reserves also had a really strong win in which they restricted Cribby to one point. The Under 19s held in there for most of the game, but were eventually overcome by the more experienced opposition who ran away with a 5-goal win.

This week we take a trip up the other end of Western Port Bay to take on Pearcedale. On paper this is another great opportunity for the Sharks to notch up three wins, but we all know that it won’t just happen so our boys have to turn up with the right attitude and ready to play their role for the team.

One of the factors that can make the difference between a good and great year is making sure you turn up with the same attitude regardless of who the opposition is. Let’s hope we can do that this week.

Club Notes

With a few changes to the senior side our expectation was high against Devon. The first half showed we are capable of pushing our opponents all the way, a goal down at the break could have easily been a goal up.

The second half was in contrast to the first and was so disappointing. Congratulations and well played to Bradie Boer on his first Snr game at Tyabb a terrific effort by him. Each week we see improvement let’s take another big step today with 4 qtrs of football.

After coming off three wins in a row the development squad were keen to continue this run and came out in the first quarter all guns blazing. A three goal to nil scoreline had everyone up and about. However as the ball got heavier and wind increased scoring slowed with both teams failing to kick a goal in the second quarter. A tense struggle ensued in the second half with our boys able to hold a two goal advantage for most of the last term and a goal to Dyl Burstall in his 50th Club game sealed the fourth win on the trot.

Best wishes to our Women’s Footy Team who take the field at the completion of the seniors match in their first game for Tyabb. We will all celebrate a great day of footy and netball at our first function AUSSIE ICONS tonight.

Three games- six teams-15 points difference at the end-what an exciting day’s football on the Hill last Saturday.

The unders were chased home by a determined opposition to fall in by four points, and remain undefeated.

The two senior teams lowered their colours, but only after two major arm wrestles. They are both 2/2, and look to improve their records today at the “Pond”. Our netballers inflicted first losses in both A and B grades on the Bombshells to tilt bragging rights a little in our favour.

Friday May 12th is shaping up a big day on the calendar. Our Annual Golf Day at Flinders G.C with pre-game BBQ, green fees, post game drinks at the Yacht Club with nibbles all for $80. On line booking at the trybooking.com website.

We have our fingers crossed that at least one of Jockers, Jonah or Hughsie will be picked to play Geelong District at the “G” later on the same day.

Mums, Wives, Girlfriends, Grandmas and any other interested females are invited to our LADIES DAY Luncheon on May 20th (Hastings home game) .

Club Notes

This week we welcome our 2007 reserves premiership side to their 10-year reunion day. Coached by Scott Beel, captained by Kyle Jennings, they knocked off Langwarrin by 31 points. It was the reserves 3rd straight grand final and after losing 2005, and being beaten in 2006, on the last kick of the day, after the siren, 2007 was a just reward. Thank god they won that one, Beelie still hasn’t got over that umpiring decision in 2006.

Didn’t last week go to plan, Ben Winters-Kerr’s 200th game, backs to the wall win in the seniors, the reserves winning and the U/19’s also having a great win. 3 wins from 3 games in the footy, the first time that’s happened since 2012.

Congratulation to Dekodda Thomson – Irwin, who made his senior debut last week and also to Peter Hampton on his first senior game for Rye, well done.

3 of our top 6 best players, all 17 years of age and Nick Rowson being named BOG, in his 4th senior game and 16 years of age, the future looks bright.

Great games by Rowso, Leigh Morse, Harry Whitty, Kyle Lynch, Kalani Ryan, Joel Wills, Benny Trivett and the skipper Adam Kirkwood.

This week, we take on Frankston, and if play with the same intensity and attitude over 4 quarters, there is no reason why we cant repeat another 3 wins.

Legends Luncheon, next Friday May the 12th. Rye RSL. $120 per head, 2-course meal and drinks included. Kevin Bartlett, Terry Daniher, Neale Daniher, Paul Vander Haar and special guest 2016 Australian Boxer of the year Jayde Mitchell.

Club Notes

History in the making tomorrow as our Bomber women’s footy team plays its first game at Bomber HQ at noon. Under the guidance of coach Brett and led by skipper Sarah the team has had a great preseason & strong practice match form. All of the family are welcome to support our newest team with $4 schooners from the comfort of the deck.

Three games of tight footy last week as we got the choccies in 2 of the 3. The under 19’s got a footy life experience playing on the chip as the rain, drizzle & mist swirled over the ground. Red Hill were sharp in the first half & held a 5 goal lead at half time. The 2nd half was the complete opposite as our boys lifted and willed themselves into the contest before falling short by 4 points. Bomber colts to stand out were Will, Riggers & Tyson.

Plenty of pressure all through the Ressies game as both teams slugged it out in slippery conditions where scoring was at a premium. Effort was the order of the day as the Red & Black opened a lead and were skillful & desperate to score a 3 point win.Loved the goal saving tackle of Ben Sharman in the last quarter and the performance of Bedders & the Treasurer.

Great win for the seniors against a side that will most likely play finals again in 2017. Every game is important & games against potential finalists can prove to be crucial in our final ladder position, the old 8 point game!

Well played to our blokes in this big game, in particular Chappy, Rowdy & Digger.

From Where You’d Rather Be...

A game of football is an exciting event. Moments that are memories for the ages. Sky scraping hangs, miraculous snaps, barnstorming comebacks, bone crunching tackles and anything else you can think off. Some players can make the impossible look easy, some are just purely spectacular to watch.

Droves and droves of interested onlookers flock through the gates week in and week out just to get a glimpse of it all. Parents and partners watching their loved ones have a run around to mates heading down for the weekly chinwags over a beer or two. Heating blasting the car to keep the frost bite away along the fence line to swarms of vocal locals perched on the hill hurling constructive words they hope are heard over the other side of the painted white line. The footy’s a place for everyone and anyone with views from anywhere and everywhere. But…at the end of the day there’s only one place to be to get the perfect view of everything (please note this is from an aesthetic perspective…not referring to the contentious calling of decisions that are always wrong) …and that’s smack bang in the middle with a whistle in one hand.

You’re getting a good ol’ chuckle out of that…we can here ya. But think about it, keep an open mind and read on. We’re smack bang in the middle of the action. Could you possibly get any closer? We’re looking straight up at the hangs with no one in our way, hearing the bone crunching bumps, seeing every little intricacy of the aweinspiring miracle makers, hearing the deafening roars of the crowd that send tingles up one’s spine and lining up alongside the all time greats. Could anyone possibly ask for such a privilege? We are at the centre of it all.

No the game doesn’t revolve around...even those some of the mugs around struggle to get their head through the change room door. We’re just like a player, club member or spectator...just another small part of a great spectacle that means so much to so many. But who’s got the best seat in the house?

So ask any umpire this weekend where they are when they cross that white line. You’ll only hear one response...”From where you’d rather be...”

Guess the umpire In the upcoming weeks, I will be introducing guess the umpire from a photo provided (hopefully baby snaps). I would like some input and some photos for those interested.

Get Involved SUA are always on the lookout for those crazy individuals who want to become umpires. It takes a certain type of person to want to umpire, but those people who take the brave step, often benefit greatly from all umpiring offers. If you love the game and you want to keep fit, learn life skills, meet new friends and earn some money then umpiring is for you.

Netball Preview

Bendigo Community Bank Nepean Netball Preview – Round 5 2017 Devon Meadows v Somerville Devon Meadows will be disappointed with last weeks results. The panthers were looking to advance further up the ladder but have ventured the other way for now. Lucky for them it is only the start of the season and plenty of time to regain momentum. Somerville have picked up from where they finished in 2016 and probably improved slightly as well. The Eagles are undefeated and looking to stamp their authority on the competition. This week will be a win to Somie but the score line will be closer than others think.

Dromana v Rosebud A refreshed Dromana team will be prepped and ready to take on Rosebud in the local derby this weekend. Both sides have shown improvement and it will be a cracking game of netball to watch. The last time Rosebud got a touch up the came out the following week firing on all cylinders. Could be the same case for this game, and Dromana will have to be ready for the challenge ahead. Rosebud to win by the smallest of margins.

Pearcedale v Sorrento A draw between Rye and Pearcedale last week was a great win for the Panthers, of course the 4 points would have been handy, but it is a step in the right direction for Pearcedale.

Sorrento continue to develop their crop of future stars and their time in the light will come. The Panthers are slightly ahead and will get their first win of 2017.

Tyabb v Red Hill Tyabb have made it two in a row now, and things are looking back on track at the pond. The yabbies will be please with their win last week end will look to continue their form this week. Red Hill were the surprises packet win of the round with a 21-point win over Frankston. It might be the win they needed to kick start their season. Not sure what the margin will look like at the end but Tyabb should come away with the points.

Rye v Frankston Big turnaround for the Rye so far, this season. After 3 games the Demons sit third on the ladder and will be running around the court with plenty of confidence. Last week’s draw was probably not what they ordered and they will be looking to make sure they get the four points this week. Frankston had a shocker last week after a week off, and after a stellar start to the season it will be a game the Bombshells want to forget. Frankston will be fired up and not wanting to let this one slip, should be a brilliant game, hard one to call, but Rye to just get over the line.

Bye: Crib Point

Netball Notes

Bendigo Community Bank

Rosebud Buds

A-Grade – Somerville were a difficult opponent with pressure all over the court. Defensively our girls worked really hard and stayed disciplined through the match.

Good contesting and good effort. Awards – #1 Darci, #2 Beth B-Grade – Playing the 2016 premiers last week we knew we would be in for a hard game. We were able to keep Somerville under their game goal of 60 points, a huge achievement. Our defence was worded hard, Jess Smith & Leshelle played huge roles and earnt their player awards. The first wet game for the season put our court work and passing to the test. Spirits are high and we look forward to our game against Dromana hoping to put another win on the board. Awards – #1 Leshelle, #2 Jess.

C-Grade – Coming into last week’s game we knew it would be tough. Somie are always a strong opponent.

First quarter we fell behind and couldn’t recover from there. We set ourselves quarter by quarter goals and we nailed them as a team. We can do anything as a team if we believe. Let’s get back to the drawing board and fight back against Dromana this week. Awards – #1 Ash, #2 Fish Under 17s – Bye Make sure everyone gets to our Wild Wild West Function at the Clubrooms on Saturday 20th May (Devon Meadows at home). See the Club App for more details.

Rye Demons We had mixed results against Pearcedale winning 2, losing 2 and a draw in A grade. The 17’s started off well with scores level at quarter time. All girls gave 100% but the wet and windy conditions didn’t help and we went down by 5 goals. Katelyn and Emily were great in the mid court.

Jasmyn worked hard all game in GA scoring some great goals. BOC was Jasmyn. D grade had a great game against Pearcedale. With some new players and 17’s making up the team. The girls all worked well together to come off with a good win. Ellie had a great game in defence and Miranda and Jasmyn worked well in the mid court. BOC was Miranda. C Grade was a very strong and physical game. Samara had a great game in the centre court, with support from Jade also playing well. Defence was tight all game, but unfortunately we couldn’t get the win. BOC was Samara. B grade was our best win for the day. Defenders Eliza and Hayley are working better together each week, having some great intercepts and rebounds. Ingrid had another awesome game in goals, with support from Shell and Ruby. Thanks to Katelyn for filling in and playing half game in WA and WD. A great effort, well done! BOC was Eliza. A grade started off strong and had the lead most of the game. Defenders fought hard with Bianca having another strong game. Olivia played a terrific 4 quarters in centre. Pearcedale came out strong in the last, all girls fought hard to the end but just missed out on the win, with a draw. BOC was Bianca.

Tyabb Yabbies

Last round we came up against the always competitive Devon Meadows. Their experience was evident in the D grade match with our young players unable to push through the strong defence. Once again Mayra worked tirelessly despite the overwhelming score line & continues to pump up her teammates each week.

Through the work of Jayde & Darcey, C Grade demonstrated some excellent passages of netball. It’s important that the girls begin to make the most of their opportunities & finish off well as they could be strong contenders this year when at their best.

B grade continues to show improvement & were able to put together their best game of the season to date. The girls allowed the intensity to drop off in the last quarter which will be a key focus today. In her 100th club match, Lenny was best on with her relentless running through the mid court.

Sarah Hose rotated through WD & GD for A Grade and showed her outstanding ability to get hands to balls & read the play. Despite the wet conditions & being an indoor court specialist, Keira Wills was a dominate force in attack, scoring 40 of the 48 goals. Today we welcome Red Hill and expect them to bring a fast pace & strong start in all grades. We’re looking to settle into the matches & finish off strongly.

Best wishes to our Women’s Footy team in their first match of the season, if you look closely you’ll spot a few of our netballers out of field.

FUNCTION TONIGHT - AUSSIE ICONS

Red Hill Hills Well it seems that finally our season is coming together and the efforts at training are starting to pay off.

After having a week off D grade were feeling fresh and ready to go, but from the start Frankston were strong.

We took this game as a good opportunity to try different combinations. It was great to see u/17s - Grace Upton Jones and Asha Cook step up and play well in goal. Heather Taylor was strong in the centre court and created many turnovers. Our girls kept fighting all the way to the end but Frankston were just to strong.

We knew C grade was also going to be a tough hit out. The girls were focused and had a great start with Abbie King and Annie Cumming strong in goal. Jessie F had a great game and lead in the centre court taking many intercepts, feeding beautifully into the goalers. Our girls played a great game and came away with the win!

B grade continued on from last week with a strong win against a sharp Frankston outfit! Our young girls worked hard to convert opportunities into goals and eventually all that effort started to pay off! A close one but we finished in front playing a strong, clean, determined team game!

A grade showed the depth our club has going into the future with more players getting a run and performing extremely well. A solid game with neat, clean play. Red Hill as a club are committed to investing in our youth both as players and umpires! Our umpires are young yet show great poise and confidence. Well done girls.

Netball Notes

Bendigo Community Bank Devon Meadows Panthers

It was tough day against tyabb on Saturday as we battled the rain and freezing cold.

The d grade girls once again came out firing and achieved another win, 29 to 6. The girls had outstanding defensive pressure right across the court and held up at every pass.

Our shooters were off to a rocky start in the first quarter but managed to compose themselves and come out on top. They are coming together very nicely as a team!! Boc Kylie hameetaman.

C grade girls are starting to form some really good team play for 4 quarters. The girls started on par with Tyabb but with consistent turnovers and pressure the girls lead by 14 at 3 quarter time, winning 16-34 . Each girl is starting to win there position on the court, which is pleasing to see. Hard work pays off. BOC Susie It’s a shame that we didn’t play like we did in the 2nd & 4th quarters for the entire game and that when we clawed back the deficit we let it slide again, but that said it showed character to dig deep in the last & reduce that margin, it could have gotten really really ugly but it didn’t, it looked controlled, steady & organised. Once we get our new side playing as a team, it’ll click and we will be off! BOC Ella.

We had a slow first quarter I think we took a while to adjust to the inclement weather. Our game was very patchy and we were soundly beaten by a better team on the day. To the girls credit they continued to fight to the end. We had plenty of ball, just need to show more control. Boc Kate may

Frankston Bombshells

Hastings Blues

A wet slippery start to the day against the Dromana Tigers.

The D grade girls had great patches of play against strong opposition. However there were a lot of missed opportunity to finish off and convert into goals, hence the game ending in a loss.

The group continue to strive and to train and improve.

Best on court went to Fiona Kain, Rianna Smallacombe and Jess Hendrick.

C grade girls played a competitive game today and kept focused. The passing into the goalers was a lot better and therefore goals were converted. The C grade team need to work on our closing in on the rebounds and keeping ball side of their player in defence to see improved results. A good contest but couldn’t get their first win for the 2017 season. Best players were Grace Williams, Grace Ord and Jess Reid.

The B grade girls got off to a very strong start leading at the first break and continued on throughout the match with strong driving in attack to finish with their second win of the season.

Emma Smith dominated in the goal shooter position and ended the match shooting 39 goals.

The team as a whole are improving with every match.

Tash Green in the Wing Defence position had her best match for the season so far, returning to our club after having a break during the 2016 season.

B grade finished with a great win by 9 goals.

Local rivals Crib Point will be our next challenge at their new home courts.

Thank god for D grade! While they were notching up yet another win the rest of the squad was tossing up between the nausea of Red Hills’s increased altitude and the red red wine headaches.

George ‘Clarko’ Hocking was an absolute thief in GD picking her opponents pocket like a lady boy in Thailand. And Whitey having a run in centre was spectacular feeding our goalers like they were starving children. Evidently they were hungry, helping themselves to 43 goals and an easy win.

Message to C grade: its not about winning or losing, its how you play the game – understandably only losers and parents say this but it does have some merit when you only lose by a goal and fight till the end. Well done to Lozzie who ran her legs off all day and Zen running the ball out of defence was outstanding.

Unfortunately B grades start to each and every quarter was about as effective as trying to baptise a cat. In a game with very little rhythm Jenny from the block fooled us with the rocks that she got. Rocks being goals and she got plenty.

BOC by a country mile.

A grade did not appreciate playing on concrete and were none too pleased about the home court advantage. Well done Rubes-great-talk-Hodge who kept her teams heads up. Lesson learned umpires are like emotional girlfriends, once they make up their minds there is no point in arguing.

But we needn’t worry this year we’re like the herpes zoster virus – not that easy to get rid of. Can’t wait for the rematch in round 12 when we play 7 on 7

Sorrento Sharks

Pearcedale Panthers

CONGRATULATIONS to Jemmah Gregory for played 100 senior games at Sorrento. What an outstanding achievement. C grade had a tough game against Crib Point. The girls put in a good effort but wasn’t enough to bring home a win. Brooke played an amazing game in defence getting many rebounds and intercepts. All round good effort to the girls. The B grade girls played a great game against Crib Point. It was a wet game and they were a very tall side, It was tough in our goal end but our shooters Emma and Anna played a great game trying to push there goals in. All the girls together worked hard to get the ball down the goal end. Jen was amazing in defence with her height helping her to get an advantage on the shooters, ruby played well in the centre court helping pick up dropped balls through out the match.

The A grade girls had a very very hard game against Crib point but never put their heads down. Despite the score it was a great game of netball, with our girls working hard on game plays and taking this game as something to learn from. At the end of the day every girl should be very happy with their performance! Bring on next week.

Go sharks. Massive thank you to Bendigo Bank for their continuos support every year.

Last week really showcased the Improvement in both individual players and as a team right across the board. It was Panthers vs. Demons on this drizzly day and yet the rain did not stop supporters from getting behind their gals.

17s kicked off the day in only their second match of the season, and were eager to make an early impact despite being slightly short handed in numbers. A hard fought game, the girls did well to take the W & remain undefeated for the regular season.

D Grade looked strong again, however struggled against a much taller Rye shooter and a slippery wet court & ball.

Despite all that, they pushed hard and only lost by 4 goals- excellent effort!

C Grade came out hot and only stopped when the game had finished. Their defensive pressure, voices and general comradeship were all factors in putting pressure on Rye and taking home their first official win for the season.

B Grade was highly competitive and close from start to finish. With some strong direction on court by the seasoned players, the girls seemed to find their feet and stay with Rye the whole way only losing by 2 goals.

A Grade was an absolute nail biter with momentum changes left right and centre. Panthers did a great job to keep their heads in it and not succumb to the pressure, ending up with a 50/50 draw as result.

With no game lost by more than 4 goals for the day, the girls can’t wait to get back out on the court and try for wins all round agains Sorrento this week.

Somerville Eagles

Last week was a great week for Somerville Netball, we came away with 3 good wins and lots of positives from our combinations. The C team worked beautifully together and have really gelled and developed as a strong team.

There were some great passages of play and the ball was fed well into the circle. The B girls had another convincing win. They are continuing to unite and improve as a team, showing great signs early in the season. The A grade also had a win, the defenders took plenty of intercepts and that was reflected in the score. This week we take on Devon Meadows. It is always a tough clash with close games. Don’t forget we have our ‘Back to School’ function tonight at the Nest. We look forward to seeing everyone dressed up and ready to hit the dance floor.

GO EAGLES!!!!!!

Netball Notes

Bendigo Community Bank Dromana Tigers

Round 4 saw another week off for our U/17s and also a break for our A grade, leaving B, C and D grade to take on Hastings.

D Grade- Saturday was another impressive win for our girls, making it 2 of 3. A strong start to the game saw us take a 12-4 lead by half time and a final result of a 12 goal win. Best for the day were Hayley Joyce in GA and Eliza Pittard in defence. Great job girls!

C Grade- The girls showed a big improvement to last weeks slow start with an impressive 11 goal first quarter.

The momentum continued with the team taking a 16 goal win. Award winners for the day were the defensive line up of Brodie Bond and Melissa Ashton.

B Grade- Another tough match for the girls that again saw us come close with a 9 goal loss. We struggled to match Hasting’s height in attack in the first two quarters, which saw us go into the half time break 7 goals down.

We turned it around in the second half, however sadly failed to convert on the many turnovers out of defence.

The team are working really hard and are confident the wins will start to come in the next few games. Best on Saturday were Laura Vidotto in the mid court and Rivvy Walter in defence.

Round 5 sees U/17s, C, B and A take on Rosebud. It’s always a good match up in all grades, so expect us to come out firing on Saturday hungry for 4 wins.

Crib Point Magpies

It was a day of mixed seasons down at Crib last week with rain, wind and to top it off sunshine.

D grade had a scratch match against Sorrento’s U/17’s.

The girls had a good hit out in the wet preparing for a clash against our rivalry; Hastings.

C grade were in control all game not giving Sorrento a sniff. The defenders pressure was incredible creating many turnovers that the goalers converted, winning by 43 goals. BOC went to Rachel for an amazing game in goals shooting at 91%.

B grade jumped Sorrento early and pushed on from there winning by 40 goals. The attacker’s defensive pressure was spot on in the game creating intercepts for the defenders left right and centre. Alecia receives BOC for a strong game in defence and for reading the play well pulling in many intercepts.

A grade continued their strong season winning by 80 goals. A bit slow to start but there was no stopping them once their roll was on. BOC went to Dionne for another polished game in C and GK. Congrats to Casey on coming up to A grade and playing an awesome half! Goals and movement; slotted in well.

This week we welcome Hastings to the nest. There is always a huge rivalry between our two clubs; expecting nothing but the best from both clubs on court. No A grade this week but let’s hope C and B can continue their undefeated streak!

Everyone back to the club for the first function of the season! #flapflapswoopswoop
