Footy club breaches salary cap
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
CHELSEA Football Netball Club has been fined for breaching the salary cap.
AFL South East communicated to MPFNL clubs last week that Chelsea had exceeded the allowable player payment cap by $7165. A disciplinary hearing upheld the allegation.
Chelsea FNC has been fined $3800.
The Chelsea Seagulls came within a kick of winning the MPFNL Division Two Grand Final last year. They were defeated by Edithvale-Aspendale. The discovery of the breach came after AFL South East reviewed each of its grand finalists.
An AFL South East statement, signed by region manager Jennifer Taffs, read “Following the 2024 Allowable Player Payment Grand Fi-
nalist Reviews, AFL South East had cause to charge the Chelsea FNC for breaching Rule 2(a)(i) of the Community Club Sustainability Program (CCSP) – Player Payment Rule in that the Club exceeded the Allowable Player Payment Cap.”
The sanctions imposed on the club by the AFL South East Player Payment Disciplinary Committee were “the imposition of a monetary penalty on the offending club in the
sum of $3,800” and a direction that “an accredited AFL Victoria Integrity Officer is to complete an Integrity Review of the Chelsea Football Club for season 2025 and the cost be referred for payment to the Chelsea Football Club.
“In announcing the sanctions, AFL South East wishes to acknowledge the Chelsea Football Club’s cooperation throughout the review and hearing process. AFL South East re-
mains committed to the integrity of the Community Club Sustainability Program. With support from AFL Victoria and the MPFNL Board, the region will continue to further our practice of compliance ensuring the integrity of the policy is maintained whilst implementing best practice support for clubs through the provision of education and training.” Chelsea FNC was contacted for comment.

Labor continues road cash splash
THE federal government has promised to spend $10 million upgrading the Western Port Highway.
With the election called by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, campaigning is now in full swing. Federal infrastructure minister Catherine King visited the Western Port Highway last week to make the announcement - she said the money would go towards building road barriers and a centre-dividing barrier.
“We’re fixing roads right across the
state; we’ve doubled our road maintenance funding to local councils, reinstated road maintenance indexation that was scrapped under the former government, and are investing heavily in our regions and cities,” King said.
The money is part of a $1.2 billion “road blitz” paid for by the federal and Victorian state governments, King said. Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus also attended the announcement - he said

Search continues for missing man
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
POLICE searched the vicinity of Gunnamatta Surf Life Saving Club last week searching for a man who went missing from Chelsea Heights in 2023.
28-year-old Sergio Cuesta was last seen on 16 September 2023 - he was dropped off by a friend at Jabiru Drive in Chelsea Heights. He was reported missing five days later.
Last year police investigating the disappearance of the Colombian national charged four people with murder - a 50-year-old Mt Eliza man, a 26-year-old Flagstone man, a 26-year-old Logan Reserve man, and a 24-year-old Flagstone woman were each charged in early 2024.
Last Thursday and Friday, 3 and 4 April, police searched Cape Schanck for Cuesta’s body. They started their search near Gunnamatta Surf Life Saving Club. The News understands they did not find him.
Anyone with information can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Agirtan charged
KINGSTON councillor Jane Agirtan will return to court in June to answer a charge of breaching a personal safety intervention order.
Agirtan faced court over the matter on 25 February. She returned to Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 7 April, where the matter was adjourned until 20 June to be heard at the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court.
At the February hearing, police foreshadowed that they would seek diversion to resolve the matter. At the April hearing they told the Magistrate that they had since taken diversion off the table. Agirtan was elected at the 2024 local government elections. She represents Chicquita Ward. Brodie Cowburn

Understanding the surprising benefits of desexing
by RSPCA Victoria
FOR many pet owners, desexing their pets is an expensive decision. However, the truth is this relatively simple procedure offers a wealth of benefits that may not be immediately obvious but are crucial for your pet’s health and well-being.
Desexing not only reduces the risk of certain diseases—such as urinary infections, mammary and ovarian diseases in females, and perineal hernias, testicular, and prostate cancer in males— but it can also bring about behavioural changes which make a significant difference in your pet’s quality of life.
Desexed cats are also less likely to roam, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Many local councils offer lower registration fees for desexed pets to encourage pet owners to make the decision.
Perhaps most importantly, research shows that desexed pets often live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
The cost-of-living crisis means many pet owners face difficult choices every day and, unfortunately, this means pets are missing out on the health benefits of desexing.
However, organisations like RSPCA Victoria are offering support through Community Outreach programs at the RSPCA Peninsula Animal Care Centre in Pearcedale. Their team is delivering a desexing service where cats can be desexed and microchipped for $99 per animal. If you want to desex your pet but are worried about the cost, help is available. To learn more about the benefits of desexing or to book an appointment, visit rspcavic.org/lowcostdesexing org/lowcostdesexing for more information.

Car thieves use new technology
POLICE across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are targeting tech-savvy criminals that are using reprogramming devices to steal popular cars with push-start systems.
Police said their intelligence suggested that certain makes and models with electronic push start technology were increasingly being targeted, as no ignition key is required.
“Once inside a vehicle, this device can be plugged into the cars on board diagnostic port to override the security system and start the engine,” Victoria Police said.
Police believe this methodology is well known among criminal circles and being used extensively.
Various models of Holdens, Toyotas, and Subaru cars have seen the most thefts where reprogramming devices were used, police said.
Victoria Police Frankston and Mornington Divisional Commander Melissa Rodgers (pictured) said while officers had found many of the devices during search warrants, they had also seen several in or near vehicles following botched theft attempts.
“This indicates to us that some offenders are either getting disturbed in the act, or they are unable to gain access inside the vehicle,” she said.
“However, we know that up to 20 per cent of cars are stolen using these reprogramming devices, so owners are advised not to become complacent.”
Rodgers encouraged car owners to think about buying an immobilising

device to prevent the devices from exploiting car electronic security systems, noting that “thieves go to great lengths in order to steal cars, so anything that can restrict them further is a good thing”.
“Police across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula will continue to target car thieves who selfishly think they can take what’s not theirs,” she said.
According to the latest official Crime Statistics Agency data, 362 vehicles were reported stolen in 2024 in the Mornington Peninsula local government area – up 45 per cent, while in the City of Frankston, 504 vehicles were stolen compared to 329 the year before, marking a 34 per cent increase.
While it is not known how many of the car thefts involved reprogramming devices, police have identified several cases where they had been used includ-

ing one left at a scene when a Holden Commodore was stolen from a property in Mornington on 7 July last year. Further incidents saw a device left at the scene after an attempted theft of a vehicle in Frankston between 28 February and 1 March. No arrests have been made, with police making enquiries.
On 10 January, a 34-year-old man was arrested after allegedly stealing a Holden Commodore which he dumped at the Karingal Hub in Frankston.
Victoria Police’s Vehicle Crime Squad has been working with impacted manufacturers, as well as insurance companies on the issue. However, in a statement, police said “without technological remedies or target hardening measures, such as the installation of on board diagnostic port locks, it’s anticipated the number of car thefts will continue to increase locally”.
Theft investigated
A MAN is wanted over the theft of jewellery and other personal items from a Frankston property.
Police allege the man broke into a property on Parwan Court in Frankston at around 12.50am on 22 February. They say he stole “several personal items, mainly jewellery.”
In a statement, Victoria Police describe the offender as “having a Caucasian appearance, aged mid to late 30s with dark hair and a thin build.”
Police have released an image (left) of a man they wish to speak to about the burglary. Anyone with information can assist investigators by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submitting a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
Motorcycle impounded
A MAN has had his motorcycle impounded for a month after being caught driving unlicensed in Carrum Downs.
Police pulled over the bike on 31 March, They say the 20-year-old Carrum Downs man driving was unlicensed, and that the registration for the bike had expired.
In a statement, Victoria Police said the motorcycle was “impounded for 30 days, and the rider is expected to face court at a later stage.”
“Operation Boulder continues to target recidivist offending, unregistered motorcycles and hoon behaviour throughout the Carrum Downs and Frankston areas. Help us to help you - to report illegal monkey bike/hoon behaviour please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000”.

Female footy teams axed
FEMALE footballers at Seaford Football Netball Club have been left devastated by the club’s decision to axe its senior women’s sides just days out from the start of the season.
On 30 March, players were informed that the club’s women’s teams would not compete in 2025. The shock decision comes off the back of a successful 2024 season onfield for Seaford FNC’s women - the division one side made finals and the division three side finished runners up.
An ex-player at the football club, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the two senior women’s coaches had exited at the end of 2024 and the situation was not resolved. Players soon began to leave for other clubs.
“No effort was made by the president to help the remaining women with recruitment. It was communicated there would only be one team, Division One. With that a lot of the reserves team felt like they didn’t belong to the community team,” she said. “On 30 March at the Seaford FNC season launch it was announced that there wouldn’t be any women’s football team for 2025. Reasoning for the fold was due to lack of numbers for a competitive Division One side.
“No attempt was made with the MPFNL to ask for help. The club has gone from fielding two sides in 2024, approximately 67 women across the season, to nothing for 2025.”
Seaford FNC’s home ground, RF Miles Reserve, received a $9 million upgrade in 2021. A new pavilion was constructed, with money for the project coming from all three levels of government. The former Seaford FNC player said “while there are now female-friendly facilities, there was no longer a culture that supported women”.
WALL TO WALL FESTIVAL
“None of the women who played football at the Seaford FNC are paid players. While the men’s team are paid individually different amounts each game.”
Seaford FNC was contacted for comment.

Councillors debate childcare
A KINGSTON councillor says the exclusion of caring for children up to 16 years of age from the Councillor Support and Reimbursement Policy will discourage women from running for council.
Although councillors are still eligible to have childcare costs reimbursed through the Local Government Act, Kingston councillor Tess Law was hoping to see the measure enshrined in council’s own policies.
At Kingston Council’s most recent meeting, Law proposed that the phrase “primary care includes the caring of children up to 16 years of age and other dependents as defined in the Carers Recognition Act 2012” be added to the definition of carer in the Councillor Support and Reimbursement Policy. That move was narrowly defeated - Crs Law, Kirralee Ashworth-Collett, Tony Athanasopoulos, Chris Hill, and Hadi Saab voted for it, and Crs Jane Agirtan, Georgia Erevnidis, Chris Howe, Sarah O’Donnell, and Caroline White
voted against.
Law said “we should be setting a standard practice otherwise we are failing women, parents, and carers responsible for young children, family members with disabilities, elderly parents, loved ones in extended hospitalisation, or who have debilitating injuries or chronic illness.”
“We are responsible to the community under the act and also guidance written by the Department of Health and Human Services to follow the best practice,” she said. “With a majority female council we should be leading the way – not hindering it for our future generations.”
Later during that meeting, councillors unanimously voted to “receive a report no later than June 2025 outlining options for women’s breakfast, gatherings, networking opportunities for women and girls in Kingston to continue to build on the success of Kingston’s Women of the Year Awards.”

FRIDAY SHERWOOD
ABC TV, 8.35pm
THURSDAY MURDOCH MYSTERIES
7TWO, 8.30pm
A bit of clever programming – or perhaps pure luck (this writer suspects the latter) – has timed author Margaret Atwood’s guest-starring role in this long-running Canadian detective drama to coincide with the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale. Atwood (pictured) plays amateur ornithologist Loren Quinnell, who helps crack the case tonight in “Murdoch and the Treasure of Lima”, after a treasure hunter approaches Detective Watts (Daniel Maslany) about a trove of stolen Incan gold.
A Nottinghamshire native, James Graham wanted to explore the difficult subjects that defined his hometown when creating this working-class crime drama. In the second season, tempers are running high amid a proposal for a new colliery when a senseless murder threatens to revive historic turf wars. David Morrissey (pictured) returns as Detective Ian St Clair, while widowed Julie Jackson (Lesley Manville) is still in town – but is unsure if she’s sticking around.

Tyabb warbird takes flight at Avalon International Airshow
Brendan Rees brendan@baysidenews.com.au
A VINTAGE aircraft from Tyabb has taken to the skies at the Avalon International Airshow, with a young Mornington Peninsula-based pilot showcasing its timeless beauty.
The De Havilland Tiger Moth bi-plane, which is part of Judy Pay’s collection of old warbirds at the Old Aeroplane Company in Tyabb, flew as part of the “Frozen Five” Tiger Moth formation team in front of thousands of aviation enthusiasts on 28 March.
Originally designed in the 1930s, Pay’s Tiger Moth was built in 1941 for England’s Royal Air Force, before later being used for “barnstorming” to entertain crowds at airshows and joy flights.
Pilot Heath Wittmer, a 25-year-old passionate aviator since childhood, was at the helm of the biplane at the airshow for the first time in what he described as a privilege and unforgettable experience.
“I worked at Avalon when I was younger, every single time it was on, so seeing it from above was just something special,” he said, adding the atmosphere of “seeing all the planes lined up” as he taxied down the runway was electrifying.
A plumber by day, the Crib Point resident said the opportunity to perform at Avalon was “pretty exciting – we are very lucky”.
While windy conditions sadly called off the Frozen Five’s chance to fly at the airshow’s weekend display, Wittmer said being able to perform on
the Friday before the main show was still a great thrill.
“It was a big step forward for our Tiger Moth group, we were pretty stoked to do it,” he said.
Wittmer first flew solo when he was just 18 before going on to attain his pilot’s licence two years later.
As a kid growing up in Tyabb, he would “run down to Judy’s hangar after school every day,” where he started volunteering at about aged eight – which he said no doubt sparked his dream to fly, and beginning a friendship with Pay.
Wittmer said he was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to fly Pay’s Tiger Moth, noting the “whole aspect of the Old Aeroplane Company definitely got me into flying for sure”.
Pay, a respected pilot of more than four decades and renowned restorer of vintage aeroplanes across Australia, said four of the Frozen Five Tiger Moths (which was named after the freezing temperature exposures of an open cockpit) were based at Tyabb with the other based at Moorabbin Airport.
“It’s an interesting old thing,” she said of her dark bottle green coloured Tiger Moth, which has a top cruise speed of about 70-75 knots (just under 140kph).
“It doesn’t fly well, but there’s something about it, you come back with a silly grin on your face,” she said.
“I guess it’s like an early vintage car; they don’t handle all that well by today’s standards, but they are just a lot of fun.”

No apology - Mr Bruce displeases Rev Albiston
Compiled by Cameron McCullough SPEAKING at the annual meeting of the Frankston branch of the Protestant Federation last Friday night, the Rev. Walter Albiston indicated in a very decided manner his disapproval of the Federal Government’s action in permitting aliens to enter Australia.
“I know,” said Mr. Albiston, “that Mr. Bruce is your local member, but I am not going to apologise for what I say on that account.”
He then proceeded to “deal it out” to the offending Prime Minister and indicated that at an early date he would let Mr. Bruce know that his “sugar coated pills did not go down.”
Mr. Albiston agrees that Australia wants increased population, “but,” he disclaimed, amidst applause, “let us take all our own people first.”
When the resources of Britain have been exhausted in this connection, it is time enough, in the opinion of Mr. Albiston, to encourage the foreigner to our shores.. ***
Frankston High School. The field of sport
On Friday last the Frankston High School Cricket Club visited Mordialloc to play the return match.
On the three previous occasions Frankston had very gratifying victories, so the lads were naturally anxious to maintain their reputation.
The day was gloriously fine, and this probably led to the fine display given by the youngsters.
Mordialloc won the toss and sent Frankston in to bat.
L. Legge and the popular skipper (Flanagan) opened. After making 10,
Flanagan was brilliantly caught in the slips.
L. Legge continued to bat attractively until when 29 he was easily caught.
J. Bowes batted very well for 26, and S. Peters, in making 20 (not out) showed he was equally at home with bat or ball.
E. Bond 10 was quickly and merrily made. Frankston concluded with the excellent total of 109.
Mordialloc made the total of 57.
Govett was the only hope to show any form. He played merrily for 24.
Peters was the most successful bowler for Frankston, taking 6 wickets at a small cost. Flanagan also performed well, in taking 3 wickets.
Frankston can be heartily congratulated on their splendid fielding.
To this their splendid victory was greatly due.
Mordialloc played a splendid sporting game, and although defeated they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The game ended with cheers for both sides, and thus the fine fellowship between the schools was further cemented.

A successful function
The euchre party and dance held last Saturday night in aid of the Hastings Football Club was a great success in every way, £5/16/- being taken at the door, which is considered very satisfactory for a Saturday night’s entertainment.
A wicker pedestal, kindly donated by. Mr. Fred Unthank, which was drawn for during the evening, realised £3/16/6, resulting in a total of £9/12/6.
As this was the winding-up entertainment for the past season, we are
pleased to state that the club will show a small credit balance of £4 odd to start off for the coming season.
The ladies’ prize in the euchre tournament was won by Mrs. H. Haddock, whilst Master Marabella (the local post boy) carried off the gent’s prize.
The pedestal was won by Mr. Ron Unthank.
The music for the dance was supplied by Miss Vera Romeo in her usual capable manner, while Mr. Fred Davis kindly officiated as M.C.
The supper arrangements were left in the hands of Mrs. Smith.
The secretary wishes to thank all those who helped With the supper, especially thanking Mrs. Smith, and a word of praise is due to this lady for her great assistance to the club, as she is always ready to lend a helping hand, and it must be said that the club is very fortunate in having such a great supporter.
The secretary also wishes to thank Messrs Bert Le Huray and Jack Campbell, jun., for their great help rendered during the evening.

Better
Roads
Speaking at the Red Hill Show luncheon recently, the Hon. Alfred Downward, M.L.A., referred to the necessity of building roads in the country, thereby giving ready facilities for people to send their produce to the nearest and best market.
It was only by good roads that people could be induced to settle on the land, and it was by this means only that the high percentage of the population now settling in the cities could be combated.
The men who were guiding the
PUZZLE ZONE
destinies of this State had long ago realised that the capital obtainable out of revenue was insufficient to build and maintain, and keep abreast of the advancing population of the State.
An equitable means had been in operation for some time, and that was to borrow money, and for this generation to pay the interest on the capital borrowed, and likewise have a sinking fund, and let the next generation take up and carry along the burden, for they will get substantial assets in the shape of good roads, and the country will be steadily opened up as population advanced.
Good roads in the country was the only sure means to prevent undue congestion of the cities.
Mr. Tyner, speaking in support of the toast of the State Parliament, dwelt upon the imperative necessity for good roads.
He stated when English settlers arrived with the intention of making their homes in the country they were amazed at the primitive character of the country roads here, and added:
“Can you wonder at their amazement when you consider that there are no country roads in the world that can compare with those of England, and the great task of the future was to build the best possible roads throughout the country. ***
A Sunday morning accident. Motor car crashes into fence.
About 5 o’clock on Sunday morning last, a motor car, conveying a party of young men from Melbourne, and while the driver was negotiating the corner at Mile Bridge, Frankston, he misjudged his calculation at the turn-
ing near Gould street, and crashed into the fence.
At the final minute every endeavour was made to rectify the error of judgment, but it was too late.
Fortunately none of the occupants was injured by reason of the sudden impact with the fence, but the car was damaged to the extent of a bent axle and radiator, etc.
The car was taken to the popular Peninsula Motor Garage in Bay street for repairs, by Mr. Stell, the proprietor.

MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN’S DIV ONE

AFTER falling just one kick short in last year’s Grand Final, Chelsea has started its 2025 campaign with a win.
It has been a tough week for Chelsea - the Seagulls copped a fine during the week for breaching the salary cap. On the field it was business as usual for last year’s runners up.
Chelsea hosted Crib Point on Saturday. The two sides were evenly matched for three quarters, before Chelsea put their foot down in the final term.
The Seagulls ran out 27 point winners over the Magpies - 15.10 (100) to 10.13 (73).
Nicholas Stamatis booted three important goals for the victors.

Tyabb picked up a hard-fought win over Hastings away from home last weekend.
After a tumultuous 2024, Hastings was looking to start their 2025 season
on the right foot. The Yabbies proved too strong early on though, racing out to a four goal lead at the first break. Hastings got the game back within its grasp, but couldn’t overcome the early deficit. Tyabb held on to beat Hastings 9.12 (66) to 11.10 (76).
Matthew Clark and Kyle Hurlstone each booted three goals for Tyabb.
A five-goal haul from Jai Block helped Frankston Bombers grab a big win over Bonbeach on Saturday. The Bombers won 17.9 (111) to 7.7 (49).
Pearcedale beat Devon Meadows by five goals away from home last weekend. Seaford smashed Rye, and Somerville comfortably beat Karingal to round out the winner’s list.

Perfect season start for Chelsea
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHELSEA’S winning start to its State 4 league campaign continued with a 3-0 derby win over Baxter at Baxter Park on Saturday.
The result leaves Gus Macleod’s men on top of the league with three straight victories. It took just three minutes for Chelsea to find a way through the Baxter defence.
A long free-kick from Adam Dunsford wasn’t properly cleared and from just outside the area Dylan Scott’s sweetly struck shot gave Baxter keeper Suliman Fazel no chance.
Goal ace James Stinson seemed certain to put the visitors further ahead in the 25th minute when he rounded Fazel and shot towards the empty net but a superb sliding clearance from Aiden McKenna saved the day.
That proved to be just a temporary slowing of the momentum of the contest and lasted just five minutes.
Lachlan Davies and Matthew O’Neill combined to tee up Liam Burford whose firm low strike beat a diving Fazel and went inside the far post.
Chelsea continued to boss the ball while Baxter struggled to make Chelsea keeper Luke Wilson earn his wages.
The game should have been put out of Baxter’s reach in the 40th minute.
Stinson got clear on the right and put the ball low across the face of goal but a sliding Burford somehow managed to sky his attempt sending the ball harmlessly sailing over the bar from close range.
Despite having more of the ball in the second half Baxter still struggled to create clear-cut chances Baxter’s attacking options Daniel Bancroft and Keegan Myatt came off the bench in the 55th minute but the contest was over 10 minutes later.
Stinson and substitute Daniel Vella combined before Stinson’s left-foot strike was deflected and looped over Fazel and into goal to seal the home team’s fate.
On Saturday evening a fantastic crowd at Olympic Park was treated to an enthralling game as Rosebud overcame Somerville 3-2.
Rosebud had the majority of the ball in the first 10 minutes and looked in charge until Joe Simmons hit a peach of a left-foot strike into the top corner.
The closest Rosebud came to levelling in the first half was a thunderbolt free-kick from 25 metres by goalkeeper Colin McCormack that hit the bar.
Rosebud kept knocking on the door in the second half and the breakthrough came in the 56th minute when a brilliant ball from Alfie Harris set Sean Smith free and he finished in style. Somerville had a strong appeal for what looked like a foul on Nick Simmons but it fell on deaf ears and Rosebud took the lead when a soft Ben Schmidt backpass was seized upon by the energetic Smith who slotted home his second.
But Somerville hit back in the 74th minute.
Ethan Hunt was caught napping when a ball looked to be going out of play allowing Marcus Anastasiou to drive into the box and his closerange effort made it 2-2.
Rosebud coach Stuart Johnston brought on Ashton McMahon and Kori Weetch in what were to prove decisive substitutions.
In the 87th minute McMahon and Weetch combined with a defence splitting ball for Weetch to show his class with a composed finish.
A match highlight was the debut of Rosebud recruit Marcus Collier who had a significant impact in midfield.
On Friday night fellow State 4 outfit Frankston Pines suffered a third straight loss going down 3-0 to Noble Hurricanes at Monterey Reserve.
In VPL1 Langwarrin led until the 66th minute but eventually lost 3-1 to promotion candidate Melbourne City at Casey Fields on Sunday.
In the 13th minute Langy broke down the right and Brad Blumenthal’s cross saw Tom Youngs take a touch before hitting the mark.
Langy’s lead lasted until the 66th minute when three fine goals in a seven-minute burst gave City the ascendancy.
In State 1 Mornington maintained its perfect start to the season and is on top of the ladder after three rounds.
But it was the late, late show and a brilliant Kieren Dover strike that settled the issue against Mazenod at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.
The win was made more meritorious given that the home side had been reduced to 10 men after Jay Davies was shown a straight red by referee James Milloy just before half-time.

With time running out Dover came up with a wonder goal to get the points for Adam Jamieson’s men.
In the 92nd minute he received the ball on the half-turn before sitting his defender down and unleashing a long-range strike into the top bin.
In State 2 Peninsula Strikers hammered North Caulfield 6-0 on Sunday.
It was the local club’s opening win of the season and a game highlight was Kye Eichenberger’s hat-trick.
Recruited in the off-season from Langwarrin Eichenberger was making his first appearance in the starting line-up.
Campbell Steedman got a double and Matt Harrington also scored.
Skye lost 2-0 away to Chisholm United on Friday night.
In State 5 Mount Eliza heads the league ladder after Saturday’s 1-0 home win over Pakenham United.
The home team had to wait until the 71st minute for the winner.
A long clearance was backheeled by Jackson Tossavainen into space and Josh Luca won the 50/50 with Pakenham keeper Isaac Mcgill and scored.
Pakenham blew a great chance to level late in the game when a penalty attempt was sent high and wide and in the last few minutes the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Yameen Laghmane was red carded.
Aspendale downed visitor Bunyip District 2-0 last weekend.
The home side broke through in the 33rd minute when a well-guided header by Felix Hampson fell into the path of Kailan Smith who slot-
ted it home.
Aspendale was dominating play and nearly went further ahead when Ben Garside was denied by the post.
The second half was quite scrappy with Bunyip resorting to long balls.
This nearly caught out Aspendale only for keeper Tom Carter to save the day on several occasions.
In the 80th minute Aspendale nabbed its second when Lewis Marco was on hand to poke the ball home after a scramble in the area.
Seaford United and Endeavour Hills Fire drew 2-2 at North Seaford Reserve last weekend.
Early in the first half a reckless Luke Murray lunge earned the visitors a penalty and captain Jonathan Theodore converted.
Just a few minutes later Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks fell victim to a wonder strike from Driss Sakho that left him stranded and Seaford scratching their heads.
A formation change solidified Seaford’s midfield and the game began to shift with Seaford becoming threatening.
The home side was rewarded in the 38th minute when a diagonal ball found Naseer Mohammad one-on-one with Endeavour keeper Howard Andrews who parried into the path of Dylan Waugh.
The big striker tapped home and the sides went in 2-1 at the break.
The second half was all Seaford who pushed and scrapped for an equaliser but it looked unlikely after Wisey Barakzoi was sent off after kicking out at an opponent and was shown his second yellow.
But with the last kick of the game a Conor Mcfall corner managed to sail over Andrews and go straight in to steal a point for the home side.
Mount Martha went down 4-2 at home to Casey Panthers last weekend and “were never at the races” according to head coach Charlie Platt. Mitch Hawkins and Jaden Taberner scored for the home team.
