Rejected council alliance causing tension
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A REJECTED partnership between Frankston Council, the Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Kingston Council is causing friction between Frankston Council and the Shire, The News understands.
Frankston Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire will send representatives to Canberra to meet with MPs later this month. Frankston mayor
Kris Bolam says he is “uncomfortable” about the ratepayer-funded trip.
The interstate trip comes amid growing tensions between Frankston Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The News understands that a proposal for a partnership between Frankston Council, the Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Kingston Council was recently rejected by the Shire after Kingston and Frankston councils came to an agreement.
The Canberra visit, scheduled for 25-26 August, has been facilitated
by the Committee For Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. Bolam said he is cautious about council’s ties to the advocacy group.
“I am not comfortable participating in a delegation led by what is, in effect, a lobbyist organisation,” Bolam said. “I believe the city council should maintain an appropriate and professional distance from special interest groups to ensure impartial decisionmaking.
“Although I have reservations about the optics, as mayor I remain commit-
ted to respecting the majority view of the city council. I also acknowledge the efforts of Jodie Belyea in arranging several meetings with senior politicians, and will therefore attend - albeit reluctantly.”
Frankston Council is currently a member of the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula at the highest tier, paying about $15,000 per year. In 2021 Frankston Council ceased its membership with the Committee for Greater Frankston, only becoming a member again after
the Committee for Greater Frankston merged with the Committee for the Mornington Peninsula in 2023.
Frankston councillors voted to send Bolam to Canberra at their most recent public meeting. The mayor was the only councillor who did not vote in favour of the trip.
Attendees on the trip are scheduled to meet with federal minister Clare O’Neil, and shadow ministers Andrew Bragg, Bridget McKenzie, Anne Ruston, and Angie Bell.

Nepean Highway high-rise approved
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
AFTER more than two years in the pipeline, a multi-storey building has been approved by Frankston Council for 438-444 Nepean Highway.
The approved proposal at the former Frankston Cinemas site is for a 14 storey mixed-use building with 144 residential apartments. The building will also house one shop, two food and drink premises, a wellness centre, and a gym.
The permit for 438-444 Nepean Highway was approved almost unanimously. Cr Emily Green abstained, and the remaining councillors voted in favour. Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “council’s newly adopted FMAC Structure Plan is giving greater confidence to investors that Frankston City is a proven investment hot spot with an optimal strategic planning framework for success.”
“The final successful application from Pace is an impressive reflection of our community’s expectations and a great alignment with our structure plan. This is yet another development that will help guide Frankston City’s ongoing transformation,” he said.
“When you look at the current list of approved and recently completed projects, Frankston City has a $506 million price tag of private development. Not to mention the additional 770 residential dwellings that will contribute to our housing targets. The transformation to our urban beautification,
local economy, vibrancy and overall reputation from these award-winning developers and architects is going to be insurmountable.”
Work on the project, which is overseen by Pace Development Group, is expected to last from 2026 to 2030 and cost around $91 million. Pace Development Group managing director
Shane Wilkinson said “with the council’s valued support, Pace is proud to be playing a leading role in helping to shape the transformation of Frankston by delivering new homes, jobs and retail opportunities for the Frankston community.”
Council officers recommended approving the permit, but noted in their report “the building is proposed to have a maximum building height to the roof level of 45.2 metres and to the top of the roof services of 48.2 metres. This exceeds the preferred height of 41 metres nominated in the Activity Centre Zone, however, is generally consistent with the heights of two buildings approved at the direction of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal at 424-426 Nepean Highway and 446-450 Nepean Highway, Frankston.”
The plan has been in the works since 2023, and has undergone multiple changes. A proposal by Pace Development Group for a 16-storey building at the site was sent to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in 2023the developer applied to send the proposal straight to VCAT, but Frankston Council still noted its disapproval of
PLANS for 438-444
the planned height. In mid-2024 VCAT rejected the proposal, and in early 2025 the developer discontinued a planned appeal to the Victorian Supreme Court. It submitted revised plans to Frankston Council shortly afterwards (“Green light for new heights” The News 22/4/2025).
The approved 438-444 Nepean Highway proposal includes 20 one bedroom apartments, 70 two bedroom apartments, and 44 three bedroom apartments. A three-level basement car park with 202 spaces accessible from Nepean Highway will also be built, resulting in a car parking reduc-
tion of 19 spaces.
The proposed design of the development will be a dual-tower configuration, with each tower having a maximum width of 23.8 metres. The towers are planned to be connected by a central glass corridor.

Breast care nurse celebrates milestone
A BREAST care nurse working across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula is celebrating 25 years in the healthcare industry.
Jenny Macindoe has been a breast care nurse for 25 years. For the last eight years she has been with the McGrath Foundation, working out of Peninsula Health hospitals.
Macindoe said that an experience with a high school teacher helped set her on her path. “One of my favourite teachers from my high school years was diagnosed with breast cancer, and while I was doing my training in Sydney, she came to Sydney for treatment,” she said. “I went and visited her. She was a very inspirational person, and I remember at that point being quite taken by the experience of people with breast cancer and what they had to go through.”
Over the last two decades, Macindoe says that treatments are improving. “Their treatments are
so much more complex and there are many more options now than there used to be, so people are living a lot longer,” she said.
“We’ve got an ageing population on the peninsula, so our numbers are going to increase and people need support for longer because the outcomes are so good now.”
Macindoe said that working with fellow McGrath Foundation nurses Giselle Ciavarella and Georgina Molinari is one of the most rewarding parts of her work. “I’d like to say how thrilled I am to be working alongside Giselle and Georgina,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed working here and I enjoy the camaraderie and support of a team. For me, at this point in my career, having started and developed the McGrath Cancer Care Nurse Service at Peninsula Health, knowing the service is growing is extremely satisfying.”

I, JACK WRIGHT
An outstanding ensemble drama, this series proves that where there’s a will, there’s a family. It’s not long after the titular businessman (Trevor Eve) apparently commits suicide that his many wives and children begin clamouring for their share of his estate. You might need a chart to keep track of everyone: John Simm, Daniel Rigby, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Gemma Jones, Zoë Tapper, Sabrina Bartlett and Nikki AmukaBird portray the extended Wright clan. As the bombshell contents of Jack’s recently made will bring out the worst in everyone, the saga catches the eye of DCI Hector Morgan (Harry Lloyd, pictured), who opens an investigation into Jack’s suspicious death.
MONDAY THE BLOCK NINE, 7.30pm
Keeping a secret on The Block is no mean feat – for one, the houses aren’t yet entirely enclosed spaces. But for four weeks now, Adelaide best mates Robby and Mat (pictured, left to right) have managed to keep a lid on plans for a giant hole in their backyard (slated to become a game-changing underground wine cellar). With another Domain Open for Inspection in tonight’s episode, and a clandestine cavern the size of a small home hiding in plain sight, will the “whole” truth come

Electrification of Mornington line refused
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
FOR a considerable time the people of Mornington have been buoyed up under the impression that there was every likelihood of the line between Frankston and Mornington being electrified, and rosy visions of future progress and prosperity were indulged in, but on Thursday last the Railway Commissioner-in-chief paid Mornington an official visit, and was waited upon by representatives of the Mornington Shire Council and Progress Association, who laid before the Commissioner a strong plea for the electrification of the line, based upon the rapid material progress of Mornington during the past two years.
The Commissioner, in reply, said: “You are not in the wood,” a piece of Americanism that plainly intimated that in the Commissioner’s opinion, there were other places that had greater claims for consideration in this respect than Mornington, and added the electrification of the line would not pay at this juncture.
It remains to be seen what this community will do under this setback; whether they will in a fatalistic way accept this decision as a dispensation of providence, or gird their loins for a further effort.
The following statements were laid before the Chief Commissioner for Railways: The annual valuation for 1924 was £31,650; the annual valuation for the current year is £57,451; the assessment for 1924, £1440; and for this year was £2500.
During the last eighteen months
sixty private dwellings and shops have been erected, valued at £59,000, and 3000 allotments have been made available from a number of subdivided estates, and the Council has borrowed £6500 for the purpose of improving the streets.
And some stress was laid upon the marked progress that has been made by the golf, bowling, racing, tennis, and croquet clubs during the past twelve months.
***
Great interest is being taken in the “bal masque” (plain and fancy dress) which is to be held on Thursday, August 27, in the Mornington Mechanics’ Hall. The arrangements, which are in the hands of the secretary (Mrs. Webster) are being carried out with a view to afford the greatest pleasure and comfort to the dancers.
Many visitors around the district are expected. The musical programme will be carried out by Mr. Davies’ splendid orchestra of Frankston. Prizes will be given for the best costumes.
The tickets, which are at popular prices (ladies 2/6, gentlemen 3/-) are selling well. Dancing will start at 8 pm and continue until 2am.
The refreshments are in the hands of the Mornington ladies.
Tickets and masks may be obtained from the secretary – the latter if ordered in good time.
Gentlemen are warned to be very careful what ladies they make conquests of before supper, when the unmasking will take place. ***
Road Reports – Peninsula Roads
Praised
Through the courtesy of Mr. J. A. P. Ham, Shire secretary, we have been supplied with a copy of a journal published by the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria.
The paper under notice contains road reports supplied by the Touring Department of the Club, and the following extracts will prove interesting to Peninsula readers:—
During the past few weeks the system of reports upon the state of the roads throughout the State has been initiated. Branch secretaries from the various country centres have been communicated with and gladly supply any local information that is likely to be of service to the Tourist Department in the publication of these reports.
Five have already been issued and have proved a source of usefulness to motorists in their travels. So far the following have been published:
There is no gain saying the fact that the general condition of roads in the State is worse today than for many years.
There are some notable exceptions respecting specific roads which the Country Roads Board has reconstructed, and where these are maintained by the board the conditions are good.
The best area for roads within easy reach of the city is the Mornington Peninsula, but there is one drawback in that to gain the arterial highway – the Point Nepean road – there is a very rough section from the sixth to
PUZZLE ZONE
the ninth mile posts.
Beyond through Moorabbin, Mordialloc and Carrum to Frankston the road is excellent.
From Frankston two roads diverge, one to each side of the Peninsula (a) through Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento to Portsea; and (b) through Somerville, Hastings and Shoreham. to Flinders; the two arteries being connected by a cross-road linking up Cape Schanck, and striking Point Nepean Road between Dromana and Sorrento, at a point about 50 miles from Melbourne.
The roads leading to the Mornington Peninsula – to Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento on the one hand, and to Somerville, Hastings and Flinders on the other – are still among the best in the State, and continue to attract scores of motorists. ***
Mr. Moore, fruiterer and confectioner, of Playne Street, Frankston, has opened a branch shop in Plowman’s buildings, Bay street, next door to Stell’s garage. The new shop has been nicely fitted up and well stocked with fruit, vegetables, confectionery, etc. Afternoon tea is provided. ***
HASTINGS
The Railway Commissioners paid their annual visit to this district on the 13th inst., and were met by a large deputation of tradespeople and, residents.
Several requests were put before the Commissioners, many of which were freely granted by Mr. Clapp,
who was in his usual good humour.
Cr. D. Hoban thanked the Commissioners for the many favours granted to Hastings.
Unless rain soon comes there will be many residents short of water, and there are many water holes for stock which are not quarter full.
Cr. D. Hoban has again been elected unopposed to the Council as representative for the East Riding, and with Crs. Unthank and Alden will make an inspection of various roads which require attention, on the 7th of next month, accompanied by the Shire engineer (Mr. Munts). ***
PERSONAL
Mr. W. Priest, of Young Street, who has been on the sick list for some days, is now about again.
Mrs. Richard Wells, we regret to report, has been laid aside with an attack of influenza, and has been in bed for the past week.
Mr. J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, has been confined to his home, “Avondale,” for the past week with an attack of pleurisy. We wish him a speedy and complete recovery to health.
Mr. W. H. O’Grady, J.P., of Frankston, has just returned from a fortnight’s holiday. The genial and smiling Mr. O.G. appears to have greatly benefited by the change. This is the first holiday he has been able to take for many years.

Bulldogs claim women’s premiership
MPFNL
By Brodie Cowburn
WOMEN’S DIV ONE
MORNINGTON are the MPFNL Womens Division One premiers.
Mornington played Warragul Industrials in the Grand Final at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The two sides have been evenly matched all season - in the
first final Mornington narrowly beat Warragul by five points.
It was a different story on Saturday, as Mornington was in control for most of the day. After a goalless opening term the Bulldogs took the game by the scruff of the neck.
Warragul had a tough day at the office, failing to score a goal.
Mornington claimed the win 5.4 (34) to 0.5 (5).
Elizabeth Muir, Jessica Stepanavicius, Lucy Grocock, Eliza
Snehotta, and Alex O’Kelly were named in the Bulldogs’ best.
WOMEN’S DIV TWO
RED Hill/Balnarring Thunder are the premiers of Division Two after besting Edithvale-Aspendale in the Grand Final.
The Thunder finished the season on top of the ladder, and came into the season decider as favourites. After a shaky start, the ladder leaders took
control and ran away with the game.
The final score on Saturday was 2.1 (13) to 7.4 (46). Josie Brent booted two goals for the premiers.
Jayde Pudney, Josie Brent, Olivia Laity, Eve Price, and Ruby Bohan were named the Thunder’s best.
WOMEN’S DIV THREE
A STRONG defensive display helped Chelsea claim the Division Three premiership at Kinetic Stadium last
Saturday.
Chelsea played Crib Point in the Grand Final. The Seagulls looked comfortable all day - Crib Point only managed to record two shots on goal for the game.
Chelsea beat Crib Point 4.1 (25) to 1.1 (7). Olivia Kelly, Frankie Shepard, Emma Mackenzie, Summer Magri, and Bridget Hanrahan were the Seagulls’ best.

ON 3 JANUARY 2023
The Supreme Court of Victoria has ordered Quaker Houghton Australia Pty Ltd to publish this adverse publicity notice.
The Supreme Court of Victoria has ordered Quaker Houghton Australia Pty Ltd (QHA) to pay a penalty, compensation and legal costs totalling $300,000 for two contraventions of the Environment Protection Act 2017 (Vic) (EP Act) that occurred on 3 January 2023.
This total penalty has been ordered due to:
• QHA’s failure to comply with its general environmental duty under section 25 of the EP Act;
• QHA's deposit of industrial waste into the public stormwater drain network in contravention of section 133 of the EP Act.
On 3 January 2023, an incident occurred whereby the sight glass level indicator on an above ground storage tank that contained oleic acid product (a non-hazardous, versatile fatty acid) detached and fell outside the bunded area. This occurred during a time when the site was unmanned during a scheduled holiday shutdown.
This allowed approximately 28,133 litres of the oleic acid product to flow from the tank via the sight glass, and into an adjacent stormwater pit. The oleic acid then travelled into the public stormwater drainage network.
The public stormwater drainage network is connected to the Elster Canal and Elwood Canal. The stormwater that is collected by the drainage network is discharged into ocean waters proximate to Elwood Beach and St Kilda Beach.
This meant that, in the days that followed, the oleic acid product was deposited into the Elwood Beach and St Kilda Beach waters. The deposit caused an oil layer to develop in the ocean waters, with white clumps and white sludge observed on the beaches. Several dead toad fish were also observed among the white clumps and sludge.
The penalty ordered by the Court was $260,000. The Court ordered that QHA pay the costs of the cleanup of the deposit at the beaches ($21,054), which was managed by the Department of Transport and Planning at the time. The Court also ordered that QHA pay the EPA’s legal costs incurred in commencing the action (amounting to $18,946).
This was the first time QHA has been found to contravene Victoria’s environmental laws since commencing operations at the site in 1958. QHA has expressed remorse for its contraventions, and it is to be noted that this incident was not as a result of intentional or reckless conduct. Since the incident, QHA has taken substantial steps to ensure that the risk of a similar incident reoccurring is minimised, so far as reasonably practicable.
Further information about the incident and the Court’s orders can be found in the Court’s judgment (accessible at www.austlii.edu.au) and on the EPA’s website (www.epa.vic.gov.au)

MPFNL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN’S DIV ONE
MT Eliza, Dromana, and Langwarrin are locked in a tight race for the top five with one round left to play in the home-and-away season.
After Saturday's games, Mt Eliza and Dromana occupy the final two spots in the top five.
Langwarrin is sixth with a significant percentage disadvantage.
Mt Eliza earned a hard-fought win over Frankston YCW last weekend to put themselves in pole position for finals.
The Redlegs raced out to a lead in the second quarter, and held on for the rest of the day. Mt Eliza beat the Stonecats 12.8 (80) to 10.8 (68).
Finlay Bayne, Jasper O’Neill, Fraser Phillips, Will Bravo, and Finn O'Neill were Mt Eliza’s best.
Dromana sit fifth after a defeat on Saturday against ladder leaders Rosebud.
Dromana were competitive against Rosebud, but fell just short. Rosebud won 13.4 (82) to 13.13 (91).
Langwarrin kept its finals hopes alive with a 33 point win against Red Hill.

Somerville would need to beat the Bombers to remain a chance of making the top five. The Bombers have been nearly unbeatable this season, losing just once before Saturday.
After a tight opening term, Somerville led by seven points. A nightmare run for the Bombers in front of goal followed.
Frankston Bombers scored a whopping 12 behinds without scoring a goal after the quartertime break. Somerville took advantage of their opponent’s struggles in front of goal, going on to claim a 30 point win 8.13 (61) to 3.13 (31).
Corey Battams booted two goals for Somerville. Jack Moroney, Luke Burton, Mitch Mantell, Lochie Fewster, and Lachlan Haskett were named in the best.
Crib Point’s clash with Chelsea proved to be an early elimination final, with the winner of the match joining Somerville in the top five. The Magpies hosted Chelsea in what proved to be a thriller. Both sides were evenly matched all day, with Crib Point heading into the final break ahead by 10 points.
After a scrappy final quarter, Chelsea snuck into the lead. The Seagulls held on to break Crib Point’s hearts, winning 6.14 (50) to 7.12 (54).
Chelsea, Somerville, and Crib Point each finished the season on 48 points, with Crib Point missing the top five by 1.5 percent. Devon Meadows also finished on 48 points - the Panthers ended up third on percentage.
Devon Meadows beat second-place Pearcedale by 11 points on Saturday to secure their finals spot.
Seaford beat Bonbeach by three points and Tyabb beat Hastings by six points in the other highlights of the round. Rye closed out the afternoon with a 21 point win over Karingal.

Five-star Stinson’s golden run
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHELSEA’S ace
predator James
Stinson grabbed his second five-goal haul of the league season as his side hammered Sandown Lions 6-0 at Ross Reserve on Saturday.
The former Sunderland youth striker is in his second year at Edithvale Recreation Reserve and has turned this season’s State 4 South Golden Boot award into a one-horse race.
Stinson played for English Universities in the 2017 Home Nations tournament in Scotland and arrived in Melbourne in September 2022 only to be sidelined through injury in 2023.
In 2024 he joined Chelsea and was scoring for fun during pre-season.
Nothing changed when the league started and it’s now customary to see him listed as a scorer after a Chelsea game.
Last year he scored 17 goals and has doubled that count this season.
It was no contest by half-time on Saturday as the teams went into the interval with Chelsea 3-0 up.
Stinson opened the scoring in the 18th minute and Daniel Lewis made it 2-0 five minutes later.
The pick of Chelsea’s goals came in the 27th minute and it broke Sandown’s resolve.
It came from a sweeping interpassing movement involving half-a-dozen Chelsea players and ending with Stinson finishing past helpless Sandown keeper Rowan Crinall.
In the 53rd minute Stinson made it 4-0 and in the 79th minute his wellplaced header from Adam Bartosy’s pinpoint free-kick made it 5-0.
Thankfully for the home side the onslaught ended in the 84th minute when Christian Murray’s through ball enabled Stinson to strike his final blow.
The big battle in State 4 is the race for a top-six finish although we learned little from last weekend with fifth-placed Rosebud, sixth-placed Somerville Eagles and seventhplaced Baxter all winning.
Baxter’s 1-0 away win over league leader Endeavour United was the pick of the bunch.
The killer blow came late in the first half when Keegan Myatt’s superb cross found Charlie O’Connell at the back post and his header proved to be the home team’s undoing.
Baxter is on a nine-match unbeaten streak and has Rosebud and Somerville looking over their shoulders.
Of the trio Somerville faces the worst run home having to play En-
deavour United, Baxter then Chelsea. However Somerville’s first step towards the finish line was positive when it downed Lyndale United 3-0 on Saturday at Westernport Secondary College.
Alessio Izzo opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a strike in off the crossbar and Marcus Anastasiou made it 2-0 in the 38th minute.
Izzo grabbed his brace in the 65th minute converting the penalty awarded after Joe Simmons was felled inside the box.
Rosebud made it back-to-back wins as they overpowered Mentone away from home on Saturday.
Two goals from Connor Wharton along with strikes from Barney Johnson, Mark O'Connor and Luke Tsantefskis saw the visitors run away with the points after a 5-2 win.
Frankston Pines lost 5-0 to Monash University at Monterey Reserve last weekend.
In VPL1 Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Western United on Sunday in the penultimate round of the league season.
Youngster Mark Deacon scored for Langy.
In State 1 Mornington maintained its promotion push with a gritty 1-0 away win over Doveton on Saturday.
It was a scrappy contest with the decisive moment coming straight
Sudoku and crossword solutions
from the second-half restart.
Doveton’s Liam McCormick gave the ball away to Ziggy Razuki who passed to James Kelly and his low shot proved too strong for Doveton keeper Adam Di Domenico who got a hand to the ball.
The result sets up Saturday’s cutthroat Dallas Brooks clash with second-placed Bayside Argonauts.
Mornington sits third three points behind and with three games to go so a win is a must for the local side.
In State 2 Peninsula Strikers struck a road hump on their promotion journey when drawing 1-1 at home to Berwick City while Skye defeated home team Mooroolbark 2-1 at Esther Park to record its first win over the Barkers since joining State 2 ranks in 2019.
Strikers blew a host of chances on Saturday.
They could have put this one to bed at half-time instead they went into the interval 1-0 down.
After blowing a one-on-one in the dying moments of the first half they quickly found themselves defending only for keeper Faraz Zenoozi to make a fine save that struck Jaiden Madafferi and went in for an own goal.
Straight after half-time it was 1-1 when Matt Harrington buried his chance from close range.

For the remainder of the match the list of missed opportunities continued to mount mirroring the frustration of the home team’s players, coaching staff and supporters.
Skye and Mooroolbark played out a tough physical encounter in the first half which ended scoreless.
But straight after the break the hosts went ahead with Danny Aye lashing home a loose ball in the box.
Five minutes later the visitors drew level after a clever ball from Jason Nowakowski to the far post was met by a diving header from Daniel Attard.
Enter super-sub Alex Van Heerwarden on the hour and the big man didn’t take long to make his mark.
In the 73rd minute he latched onto Emmanuel Scarlett’s through ball and delicately chipped it over the advancing Barkers’ keeper to give Skye all three points.
In State 5 second-placed Mount Eliza maintained a four-point buffer over Seaford United and set up a blockbuster derby on Saturday between these locals outfits.
Last weekend Mount Eliza hammered visitor Cleeland United 7-0 at Emil Madsen Reserve while Seaford dished out a 5-0 thumping to visitor Pakenham United.
Mount Eliza had this one done and dusted when it led 3-0 at half-time
through goals from Josh Luca, Fraser Keon and Angus Nath.
The momentum didn’t change in a second half highlighted by a Ray Amiri hat-trick and a goal from Callum Drysdale.
Seaford had Pakenham on the back foot in the 2nd minute of their clash when a Blake Hicks’ corner was headed in by Conor Mcfall.
Seaford extended its lead when a goalmouth scramble led to a Pakenham defender putting the ball into his own net.
In the 34th minute Seaford talisman Dylan Waugh got on the scoresheet with a low shot from inside the box.
When Backy Barakzoi scored with a well-struck half-volley after Pakenham failed to clear a Blake Hicks long throw in the 42nd minute the home team was in complete control.
In the second half Tristan Stass was at the back post for a tap-in from a Mcfall corner that completed the scoreline.
Mount Martha went down 3-1 at home to Aspendale on Saturday which ended a horror run of six straight losses for the visitor. It took a world class strike from Kailan Smith in the 21st minute to break the deadlock in a scrappy game. Aspendale came out firing in the second half and scored twice a few minutes apart.
Dean Mamos was played in by Felix Hampson to make it 2-0 and shortly after it was 3-0 when Smith pounced on a defensive mistake. Mount Martha hit back through Mitch Hawkins and put the visitors under pressure but Aspendale keeper Tom Carter was up to the challenge.
