Dogs homeward bound Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LOST pooches will be quickly reunited with Kingston municipality owners who nominate a second and third contact for registered pets. Kingston councillors at the 23 July public council meeting unanimously
backed a move to have wandering pets picked up by council rangers returned to owners’ workplaces or emergency contact addresses. Lost pets were previously often taken to Cranbourne’s Lost Dogs Home for collection later by owners. ”Our officers will now be able to drop the dog at the owner’s workplace or to an emergency contact if they are avail-
able to take the dog within 30 minutes,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said. “This change will save dog owners time and money as they will no longer have to travel to Cranbourne and pay a release fee to the pound. “You can also nominate two alternative contact people for council to return your dog to if you are not available.” Lost and damaged dog tags will also
now be replaced by council free of charge for registered animals. “For several years council has been able to successfully reunite 100 per cent of registered lost dogs with their owners, so I encourage all owners to have their animals registered,” Cr Staikos said. Council will also introduce a firsttime warning notice that will be issued
to owners of registered dogs found wandering at large. “Pets can make a positive contribution to our community and Council wants to make it easier for Kingston residents to be responsible pet owners,” Cr Staikos said.

Fests face council cuts
Saints plan way ahead
RISING recycling costs may mean the party’s over at some festivals hosted by Kingston Council. Councillors voted in May to pass a $25 rise in recycling fees to each Kingston household as China’s ban on nearly all recycling materials previously exported from Australia begins to bite. At the time council said a further $6 rise per household would be absorbed in council’s budget but $400,000 in annual savings would need to be found elsewhere. It has now emerged that festivals may take a financial hit to save money. “In order to save $400,000, council will be making changes to our annual festivals program,” Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said. “We’ll still be presenting our signature events — the Mordialloc Food, Wine and Music Festival, Carols by Kingston and our Australia Day breakfast for the community to enjoy and making these events even bigger and better. “However our less attended events in Carrum and Clayton will not proceed this year and we will also make savings by combining a number of smaller-scale events.” The Carols by Kingston event will be held at Bicentennial Park in Chelsea this year as part of the changes to the festival bills. “Our annual carols event is muchloved and I’m sure South Ward residents will embrace the event in their neighbourhood this year,” Cr Staikos said. The amended festivals program will be trialled over the next 12 months and then reviewed for future years.
ST Kilda Football Club has lodged plans for the second stage of the Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment. Plans can be viewed at Kingston Council’s website online and council will consider submissions before assessing the permit application. The AFL club’s stage two plans include: n new AFLW change rooms, a treatment room, and an expansion of existing administration facilities to accommodate women.s football league at Moorabbin Reserve, which will begin in January 2020. n an eastern building extension for a second indoor sports court. n a western building extension along Linton Street for a new aquatic facility, including a 25-metre lap pool and a hydrotherapy pool. The facilities will support player training and recovery but when not used by the club will be made available to the community and school groups. n The oval will be retained in its current configuration with the addition of a new 1,000-seat grandstand on its western side, adjacent to Linton Street. At its southern extreme, an enclosed space would provide additional storage. n The existing car parking facilities will increase by 36 spaces plus an additional 48 spaces located between the proposed grandstand and Linton Street while 12 existing spaces next to the dog park would be removed to accommodate the additional indoor sports court. See kingston.vic.gov.au/Propertyand-Development/Planning/AdvertisedPlanning-Applications online or call council on 1300 653 356 for details.

Lights, camera …
CREDIT cards stolen from a man’s wallet were used to buy gift cards and food at petrol stations in Carrum Downs and Cranbourne, 5am-6am, Sunday 22 April. Detective Senior Constable Andrew Hodgson, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the man, above, police are looking for has a distinctive tattoo on his right calf. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or Detective Hodgson 5978 1424.
HOLLYWOOD came to Frankston, Wednesday 18 July, when members of Somerville Highway Patrol ran Operation Hollywood in the south-bound lanes of Peninsula Link. Over six hours police used an automated number plate recognition van to scan the plates of passing vehicles for anomalies, and pulled offenders over further down the road. Those nabbed included seven suspended drivers, drug driver, drivers of 29 unregistered vehicles, two unlicensed drivers, speeding driver and one driving an unroadworthy car.
NEW lighting will be installed for the Aspendale Stingrays Jack Grut Reserve after being granted a joint $190,000 from the state government and Kingston Council. This new funding has become available after the Labor state government doubled The World Game Facilities Fund (TWGFF) from $2.5 million to $5 million. “This lighting will provide us an additional 15 hours per week of training and will double our current access to flood-lit grounds,” Aspendale Stingrays committee president Derrick Berends said. “Aspendale Soccer Club was formed only 12 years ago by a dedicated group of parents looking for an opportunity for their young children to play soccer in the local
area. In that short time, the club has grown to over 450 members across 40 teams, which is an amazing effort.” The funding couldn’t have come soon enough as the clubs rapid growth has seen many new potential members being turned away, simply for the fact that they did not have the facilities to keep up and cater for a greater number of people. This predicament has been very disappointing for the club. “The growth in members includes the growing number of girls playing soccer and although we have had to restrict growth at the club in recent years we have always actively encouraged new female player to join,” Mr Berends said. Victorian Sports Minister John
Eren visited the Stingrays on Monday (30 July) to announce funding of more than $95,000 for the soccer club. “The new lighting is just one of the many ways we’re making sure popular clubs like Aspendale Stingrays Soccer Club have room to grow,” Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson said. Kingston Council agreed to match the state grant bringing the total funding up to $190,000. Mr Berends thanked everyone for the support. “These new lights are the next step in the process of providing a great facility for our local kids to keep active. We hope to be able to provide even better news on our clubs future facilities in the near future.”

FIVE people were arrested by Mornington police after allegedly stealing alcohol and other property from the Mornington on Tanti Hotel, early Sunday morning last week. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Somerville CIU, said police will allege alcohol valued at $150 was stolen from the bar area and clothing, a tonneau cover and 12volt air compressor valued at $550 were stolen from a utility in the hotel’s car park, 5am, Sunday 22 July. A Dingley Village man, 26, and a Skye man, 27, were remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week charged with burglary, theft and theft from a motor vehicle. The results of the case were not known when The News went to press. A Narre Warren man, 33, was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on the same charges in September. Two women allegedly with the men – a 36-year-old, of Croydon, and a 25-year-old, of Hampton East – were interviewed by police and released pending further inquiries. Detective Hocking said Mornington police were alerted to the robbery after the alarm sounded and were able to watch it unfold on CCTV. He said all the property was recovered.
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors will meet their counterparts from Frankston Council next week at a “working dinner” to chew over their differences in policy over the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter. The dinner, to be held on Wednesday 9 August at Frankston Football Club, comes after shire councillors in May called on the federal and state governments to recognise the shire “as a major stakeholder”, since talks have mostly been conducted between politicians and Frankston Council. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and state opposition leader Matthew Guy visited Baxter station on 17 July to announce the Liberals, if elected at state and federal level at upcoming elections, will begin the project to build the electric track to Baxter next year. The shire said Baxter — which lies within its municipal boundary – would be an unsuitable terminus for the electric train service and wants the line doubled up and electrified to Hastings. An “advocacy paper” prepared by the shire says moving train stabling and maintenance and car parking “down the line” to Baxter “appears to be primarily to free up land in Frankston for development” (“Brake on Hastings electric train” The News 31/5/18). Making land available at Baxter would require “pushing out the Urban Growth Boundary and encroaching

on the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge”. State Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess last week said electrification and duplication from a single to double rail line to Baxter “is just the first stage of electrifying and duplicating the line through to Stony Point”. “The estimated cost of electrifying and duplicating our line through to Stony Point was in excess of $2 billion and that amount was not immediately available,” Mr Burgess said. “While the whole amount was not available up front there are many benefits of bringing the metro line as far as Baxter to start and then taking it the
rest of the way to Stony Point as stage two. “I won’t be satisfied until we have metro train services that go all the way through to Stony Point and meet the French Island Ferry.” Mr Burgess says the shire’s advocacy paper is “outdated”. “Once the line is electrified to Baxter, residents of Crib Point, Bittern, Hastings, Tyabb, Somerville, Baxter and Langwarrin will for the first time ever be able to take a short drive to a large park ’n’ ride just north of Baxter and catch a train right through to the city without having to change trains at all.
“Commuters will no longer have to catch a diesel train to Frankston and then wait for a connection to the city, they will be able to leave their car in the park ’n’ ride north of Baxter and travel through to the city. “There will be no need to try and find that elusive car park at Frankston station or elsewhere.” Shire councillor David Gill confirmed shire and Frankston councillors will meet next week. "For the first time ever Frankston is willing to discuss the [planned] electrification, even though Baxter station is within the shire," Cr Gill said on Monday. With Keith Platt
Jobs growth as steel exports surge BLUESCOPE is exporting tens of thousands of tonnes of steel to the United States from its Western Port base in a growth surge the company says has helped it create 150 jobs over the past year. Last week 10,000 tonnes of steel was shipped from Hastings to the West Coast port of Longbeach – later to be galvanised or pre-painted for various applications, such as building, general manufacturing or car making. BlueScope is able to sell to the US through its Steelscope joint venture because Australia has, so far, escaped tariffs imposed on other countries’ steel exports by US President Donald Trump. Western Port plant manager Mike Hussey said BlueScope was exporting about 200,000 tonnes a year – a
“significant increase” on previous years. “There’s been a concerted effort by the company to find overseas markets in the wake of the shutdown of the car making industry here,” he said. “We are always on the lookout for alternative markets through our sales and marketing departments, although the domestic market is still our main focus.” Industry and employment minister Ben Carroll said the jobs’ increase highlighted the strength of the state’s steel manufacturing industry. He visited the Western Port plant which produces coated and painted steel products, including Colorbond steel. BlueScope said the state government was using Australian-made steel in major road and rail infrastructure projects.

Aisbett said that he was willing to assist soldiers in making a success of poultry keeping, but would not recommend any soldier to be put on poultry farms unless he was under expert supervision, or had previous knowledge. An article will appear in next week’s issue of Weekly Times, showing Mr Aisbet’s methods of poultry keeping. On the following week a very interesting article will appear showing how three women took up an abandoned farm within two miles of Frankston, and doing all their own work, even to ploughing, are meeting with great success. *** NOMINATIONS will be received until Thursday, August 8th, for candidates to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement, through effluxion of time, of a councillor in each of
the ridings. In the North riding Cr Clements retires, and will not, we understand, seek reelection. Two candidates fill the position— Messrs R. M. Hoare and Charles Gray—have already announced their intention of contesting the seat. In the East riding Cr Watt retires, and will not again offer his services. Messrs H. E. Unthank and A. J. Alden will contest this seat. Cr J. Unthank is the retiring councillor in the Centre riding, and it is not thought likely that he will be opposed. *** DANDENONG market. Tuesday, July 30th. Adamson, Strettle & Co, Pty and Alex Scott & Co. Pty. Ltd. conjointly report:—About the usual number of cattle yarded including some extra good milkers and springers which met with very keen competition, prices being much in advance to late rates. Milkers from £18 to £31, Springers from £15 15s to £20 Store Cattle—Small yarding and prices slack. Pigs and calves— Good supply and prices firmer. *** TYABB and Hastings Fruit growers’ Association. The annual meeting was held on Thursday evening last, 25th July. The president Mr J. H. Young, occupied the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were confirmed, and, in accordance with notice of motion Mr Mair moved that until further notice the positions of Secretary and Treasurer be a dual office. An amendment was moved to the effect that an Hon. Treasurer be elected. After considerable discussion the result of the poll was declared
equal and the chairman recorded his vote in favor of the amendment: The balance sheet showed a credit of £4 9s 11d. The election of officials resulted as follows: President. Mr, J. H. Young ; vice presidents, Messrs A. E. Benton and F. Stockton ; Hon. Treasurer Mr H. T. Noble; Secretary, Mr T H Houfe; Auditors, Messrs Brockett and Floyd. Mr Alden and Mr. Mair moved a hearty vote of thanks to the retiring officials and complimented them on the present satisfactory state of the society. *** WEDDING Bells. A very pretty wedding was celebrated on the 17th July, at the Presbyterian Church Thornbury, by the Rev J. H. Hewitt. M.A., B.D., The contracting parties being Mr E. Thiobouse (late A.I.F. Anzac) and Miss Winifred Andrews, late of Frankston. The bride, who was given away by her grandfather, looked very pretty, dressed in white with wreath and veil, and carrying a bouquet of white stocks and violets with streamers of the bridegroom’s colors. The bridesmaids, Misses and Alice Andrews, sisters of the bride, were dressed in white voile, carrying bouquets of violets; The best man being Mr W. Andrews, youngest brother of bride. The Wedding March was played by Miss Wheeler, A.L.C.M. Thirty nine guests sat down to the breakfast at the residence of the bride’s parents. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 August 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Adventures of Eduardo Cubillo Saborit Esquire By Stuart McCullough TALK about a surprise. Here we were, minding our own business when my wife received a letter. That, of itself, is no cause for celebration but this was no ordinary piece of correspondence. Indeed, the amazing and most unexpected missive was from the audit and accounting division of a firm located – in all places – Spain. Signed by the fantastically named Eduardo Cubillo Saborit Esquire, the basic gist of the letter was that our ship had just come in, carrying with it extraordinary riches that were now ours for the taking. Twelve and a half million Euros, to be exact, of which Eduardo would extract a modest commission of exactly half. Our euphoria was short lived. After a few short weeks, I began to become suspicious. I realize that you should never look a gift horse in the mouth, but this particular gift horse appeared to have especially bad breath and a somewhat jarring set of false teeth. Firstly, Eduardo described himself as both an auditor and a lawyer. That’s like calling yourself both ‘country’ and ‘western’. It’s hard to be both. On top of that, he was also the Chief Executive Officer of the renowned firm in Spain that, despite its awesome reputation, had elected to remain anonymous. My suspicion deepened to subterranean levels when I noticed that he’d supplied his private email address for the purpose of responding. His email address identified him as ‘eduardocubilo61’. I was struck by the larger than expected number of people named Eduardo Cubilo that apparently roam unchecked across the Earth. Had I not seen the email
PAGE 10
address for myself, I’d never have suspected it. I was also struck by the fact that Eduardo had seemingly misspelled his own surname, dropping down from a two ‘l’ Cubillo to a single ‘l’. It’s fair to say that this
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 August 2018
shook my confidence somewhat. It’s very hard to imagine that a man who can’t spell his own surname should be able to rise to exalted rank of Chief Executive Officer. I realize it’s tremendous for Ed-
uardo (and for anyone else who is incapable of spelling their own name, really) that he’s the CEO of one of Spain’s most renowned firms, but I still found it odd that the letter should not say what his firm of renown actually does. Other than send letters through the post to far off places, of course. Suddenly I was incensed. Clearly, the private email address was a blatant bid to rip off the very company he’s supposed to represent. For shame, Eduardo Cubil(l)o Saborit Esquire. For shame. Without doubt, you’ve embarrassed the other sixty people called Eduardo Cubilo. Not that they should suffer as a result of your shenanigans. It’s important that one bad Eduardo Cubilo should not be allowed to spoil the entire Eduardo Cubilo bunch. As it were. My suspicions deepened further as I continued to read. He had found, so he claimed, an inactive account. The account holder, sadly, had perished in unspecified circumstances and it was asserted that the deceased was of ‘common decent’ to my wife. I’m hoping he meant ‘descent’ and not ‘decent’. I’m not sure what the difference between ‘common decent’ and ‘uncommon decent’ might be or, worse still, whether it’s possible to be ‘common indecent’ with respect to another person, but it all sounds a little bit wrong if not overly familiar. It got worse. In the next paragraph, Eduardo described himself as a ‘seasoned’ auditor, by which I assumed he meant salt, a pinch of pepper and a touch of paprika. He went on to say that the process was ‘100% viable’ with ‘little or no risk’ involved. I don’t mean to be picky, but there’s a
world of difference between ‘little’ and ‘no’ risk, with the former being an absolute, and the latter leaving some substantial measure of ‘wriggle room’. ‘Wriggle room’ may well be an official auditing term so far as Eduardo Cubillo Saborit Esquire is concerned. Now truly suspicious, I was near certain that it was a ruse. It was only then that I noticed the letter appeared to have been typed. On a typewriter. Clearly, the Spanish auditing community had fallen on truly hard times. Even for hucksters like Eduardo. But despite large chunks of the letter looking as though it’d just been spat out of the back end of Smith Corona, random fonts appeared throughout the text. Names and email addresses appear to have fallen onto the page from somewhere else. Which they probably did. It was a scam, without doubt. And not a particularly good one, either. The mind boggles at how many letters Eduardo Cubillo Saborit Esquire sent in the hope of snaring a response from somebody. It’s odd that we live in an age where people expend such effort to cheat others and I’m not sure what it says about us that we were deemed ‘scam-worthy’. Not much, I suspect. I’ll admit I put the whole sorry affair out of my head. That was until the doorbell rang. There, standing on the doormat with a Smith Corona portable typewriter under his arm, was a small Spanish man wanting to know why I’d ignored his letter. There was nothing left to do but to shut the door and hide until he left. Adios, Eduardo. Adios. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks shocked by plucky Pines DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn PINES have pulled off a major upset in MPNFL Division One football this Saturday, defeating top of the ladder Sorrento at their own home ground in a tense contest. Pines got off to a red-hot start at David Macfarlane Reserve, kicking the opening three goals of the game inside five minutes to put the Sharks on the back foot right from the outset. Sorrento settled to get back into the contest, keeping the margin at just 11 points at the first break. Pines again flexed their muscle in the second term though and ran away to a 28 point lead by the half-time break. With tensions high, the game threatened to boil over on a number of occasions in the first half. Pines fans exchanged words with Sorrento players to try and get under their skin, with Leigh Poholke and Troy Schwarze being targeted. The momentum swung in the second half, as Sorrento pushed back and showed the class that made them the team to beat in this year’s competition. The Sharks battled hard to whittle the margin down to three points in the closing moments of the game but eventually ran out of time. The siren sounded with Pines just

ahead, as they held on to secure a thrilling win 14.12 (96) to 15.9 (99) in a game of the year contender. Pines coach Patrick Swayn said after the game that he was happy with how his side handled their aggression in the tense contest. “This was a great win. We needed these four points because it’s a really tight competition at the moment. We just needed to get the win and we got it, but we’ll learn a lot from that last half. We’ve been one of the better second half sides in the comp but they really threw it at us,” Swayn said. “It’s an emotional game, and I thought the umpires were spot on with it today. It was a really good physical contest and I think that the fans would agree that it was a great game as well.” Sorrento coach Luke Tapscott, who
was one of the Shark’s best on the field during the game, said that despite the setback he was confident that his side would bounce back. “We let them jump us in the first five minutes. We know they love to start a game strong and we were playing catch up from that point on,” Tapscott said. “I think it’s a positive that we can come back and not go into our shells. We really pulled it back late in the first quarter and we were only a couple of scoring shots down so I don’t think there are any alarm bells. We just need to make sure we’re ready to go right from the first siren.” Pines’ Tom McDermott was one of the best afield, with his five first-half goals setting his side up for victory. At John Coburn Oval, Frankston YCW earned their place back inside the
top five with a gritty win over Mornington. The Stonecats started strong in the first term to claim a 20 point lead at the first break before Mornington wrestled back to claim a six-point advantage of their own going into half-time. In a see-sawing contest, YCW snatched the lead back in the third term and held on to fight off a brave Bulldogs outfit 12.12 (84) to 11.7 (73). Joshua Patullo booted four majors for the Stonecats, while Kyle Hutchinson continued his good run of form with a best on ground performance. The Stonecats snatched fifth place from their cross-town rivals Frankston Bombers, who dropped out of the finals spots after a disappointing loss to Bonbeach. Both sides traded blows in a thrilling first half, with the margin standing at just two points in favour of Bonbeach at the half-time break. Despite looking like it would go down to the wire, the Sharks ran away with the game in the second half, establishing a 25 point buffer in the third term that would prove to be insurmountable. Frankston Bombers will now need to rely on YCW to drop points in the final three games of the year to make finals following the 10.11 (71) to 14.11 (95) loss. The win also puts Bonbeach within six points of fifth place, giving them a
glimmer of hope going into the closing stages of the year. At Regents Park, Edithvale-Aspendale took on Rosebud in a vitally important matchup for the home side. Given Sorrento’s loss to Pines, a win would see Edi-Asp go level on points with Sorrento heading into the final rounds of the home and away season. Rosebud, who have suffered through a disappointing season so far, were left shell-shocked in the first term after EdiAsp piled on six goals to none, taking a 42 point lead into the quarter time break. Rosebud were much better in the second quarter and whittled back the lead to 17 points, but ultimately could not overcome the deficit created in the first term in the second half, as they fell to Edithvale-Aspendale 10.19 (79) to 8.12 (60). Edi-Asp will play Sorrento in the final game of the season, with the result potentially determining who finishes on top of the ladder. The final game of the weekend saw Mt Eliza take on the bottom of the ladder Seaford at Emil Madsen Reserve. Despite looking much the stronger side on paper, the Redlegs were challenged in the first half, with scores level at the main break. Despite their early signs of fight Seaford quickly succumbed to Mt Eliza in the second half, as the Redlegs ran away with a 14.16 (100) to 8.12 (60) win.
Tigers secure top ladder spot DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have confirmed that they will finish on top the ladder with an impressive come from behind win over the in-form Red Hill at Dromana Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Red Hill entered the contest full of confidence, coming off a remarkable seven-game winning run which saw them move up to second spot on the ladder. The visiting Red Hill stunned the home crowd in the first term, racing away to a five-goal lead and holding Dromana goalless in the opening quarter. Dromana used the break to gather themselves and looked a much better side in the second quarter, trimming the margin back to 20 points, but they still had a lot of work ahead of them. After the half-time break, Dromana showed off the brand of football that put them on top of the ladder in the first place, as they overpowered Red Hill to claim back the lead and run away with a 14.9 (93) to 10.10 (70) win. The win ensures that Dromana will remain on top of the ladder going into the finals, securing their double chance and their passage straight into the second round of finals. The winning outfit benefited from an even spread of goalkickers, with Sam Fowler, Ben Holmes, and Jay Hutchinson each kicking three majors. At Chelsea Reserve, the Seagulls played host to Pearcedale in what would prove to be a surprise match of the year contender. Chelsea entered the contest as favourites and looked fairly comfortable up until the final term. By the three-quarter time break,
Chelsea had opened up a 25 point lead and looked as if they would run away with a fairly trouble free win. Pearcedale had other ideas and stormed back into contention with a five goals to one final term. Despite leading throughout the entire day, the stunned Seagulls couldn’t fight back as Pearcedale drew level with them heading into the closing stages of the match. When the final siren sounded there was nothing separating either side, as Pearcedale and Chelsea shared the points in a thrilling draw, with the final score reading 13.12 (90) to 13.12 (90). Around the grounds, Hastings hosted Karingal at Thomas Barclay Oval in a match that could have massive repercussions for Hastings’ season. In a scrappy and hard-fought contest, the Bulls held the lead throughout, but Hastings were far from dead and buried. Going into the final term, the margin stood at just nine points in Karingal’s favour. Despite looking set to go down to the wire, Hastings disappointed in the final term by failing to register a goal, as Karingal claimed the win 5.9 (39) to 7.14 (56). The win sees the Bulls claim back second spot on the ladder, while it leaves Hastings only just clinging to their spot inside the top five. With just two rounds to play before finals, Hastings finals spot is under threat by Langwarrin, who claimed an emphatic win over Tyabb to close the gap between them and fifth place to just two points. With everything to play for, Langwarrin raced out to a strong lead in the first half, with the margin stand-
ing at 37 points in the Kangaroos’ favour at half-time. Despite entering the clash in a good patch of form, having only just fallen to Dromana last week, the Yabbies were not quite up to scratch against Langwarrin, as the Kangaroos claimed a decisive win 9.5 (59) to 16.22 (118). With Hastings set to face difficult match-ups away from home against Red Hill and Chelsea in their final two games of the year, Langwarrin may yet snatch a finals spot. Somerville also claimed a good win over the weekend, securing a victory over Rye in what was essentially a dead rubber match-up. The contest proved to be an entertaining one, as the lead stood at less than a goal at each break of play. Despite Somerville entering half-time with a two-point lead, Rye fought back to claim a three-point lead of their own going into the final term. Although they were behind, Somerville enjoyed a much better final term to put the Demons away, as they took all four points with a 12.12 (84) to 10.10 (70) win. The final match of the round saw Devon Meadows take on Crib Point at Glover Reserve in what would prove to be an easy win for the home side. The Panthers raced out to a strong 33 point lead over the Magpies in the first term and held that lead throughout the entire afternoon. Michael Theodoridis was the standout performer with five goals, as his Devon Meadows side claimed the win 15.18 (108) to 10.8 (68). Hard fought: Karingal got up over Hastings at Thomas Barclay Oval.

Kilners see red, Baxter match abandoned SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER teeters on the edge of the State 4 South relegation abyss after the controversial abandonment of Saturday’s clutch away fixture against Hampton Park United. Baxter was losing 2-0 in the first half when the decision of referee Zhihao Lu to give Baxter striker Liam Kilner a second yellow card triggered a reaction that saw his brother and Baxter captain Owen Kilner also sent off. Their father and Baxter senior coach Roy Kilner believes that he also was sent off as Saturday’s clash descended into farce. Referee Lu abandoned the match in the 39th minute and Roy Kilner claims that Lu cited abuse and threatening behaviour from both sides as the reasons. It’s understood that the allegation that will be levelled against Owen and Roy Kilner is that they directed offensive language towards the match official, which the family patriarch will dispute at the tribunal. And he may have a powerful ally in assistant referee and former Baxter captain Frank Osei-Ntim. “I didn’t make the comment that the referee claims I made and big Frank thought that the comment didn’t come from me but from someone else on our bench,” Roy Kilner said. However, Lu is an experienced referee having officiated at FFV matches for over 10 years and has been an assistant referee at NPL level so Baxter has a mountain to climb if it’s to convince the tribunal that Lu got it wrong. In NPL2 East news Langwarrin’s 2-1 away win over Whittlesea Ranges on Saturday looks to have secured the club’s place in the elite competition for another season. With a threadbare squad mainly due to suspension veteran Langy boss Gus Macleod gave Andy McLean the task of running the front line and the big Scot didn’t let him down. McLean was at the back post to head home a Boris Ovcin cross in the 15th minute but a long-range strike from Jose Luis Ramires Soto in the 18th minute made it 1-1. In the 37th minute, a rare glancing header from Ovcin from a Viktor Medini free-kick restored Langy’s lead. The second half was an arm wrestle although Whittlesea put Langy under intense pressure for the last 15 minutes but couldn’t break through. In the 97th minute, the home side was reduced to 10 men when substitute Matthew Iuliano received a straight red.

Langwarrin’s under-20s lost 3-1 but Langy’s best was 16-year-old Brodie Jones while debuts were handed to Dylan Fisher, 15, and Noah Green, 16. As we went to print US import Michaela Dooley was due to make her debut for local NPLW outfit Southern United against Bulleen at Monterey Reserve on Sunday. Earlier in the day Southern’s under12s beat Bulleen 3-2 with Emilia Ingles scoring twice for Southern, her second a header following a Lauren Riha corner. Southern’s other scorer was Rhiannon Kelleher from a free-kick. The under-14s maintained their three-point lead at the top of the ladder with a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Rhys McKenna. Southern’s under-16s lost 2-0 but striker Haylea Porter is having a remarkable season with 15 goals in 20 games in a side near the foot of the ladder. She is second on the league’s leading scorers’ list behind local teenage prodigy Alana Murphy. In State 1 South-East news Mornington scored three goals in the first 18 minutes eventually running out a comfortable 4-1 winner over South Springvale at Warner Reserve on Saturday. Max Etheridge opened the scoring with a header amid claims that the ball had already crossed the line following a Sammy Orritt shot that came off the bar. Keegan Ziada was at the back post to head home an Orritt cross a few minutes later and a second Ziada goal ensured that the visitors were in cruise control at half-time.

Omar Guardiola made it 4-0 in the 61st minute before Jason Ricciuti scored for the home side in the 84th minute. In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines defied the odds by toppling promotion candidate Knox City 3-1 at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Pines gaffer Paul Williams had recently switched experienced defender Lewis Potter into an attacking midfield role and in the 7th minute a cross from the right found Potter who slotted the ball past Knox keeper Colin McCormack from 10 metres. Two minutes into the second half another Potter strike made it 2-0 after a Ben Millward cross from the right was dummied by big Ioasa Saemo. A penalty converted by Paul McEvoy in the 77th minute after Ross Robertson handled inside the area gave Knox some hope but Yosoph Zara’s 90th-minute free-kick sealed the visitors’ fate. The match ended on a sour note when Enes Sivic of Knox and Saemo were red carded in injury time. A few kilometres away Peninsula Strikers continued their late bid for survival with a 4-2 home win over Mooroolbark. Against the run of play, Mooroolbark was awarded a penalty in the 33rd minute after Alex van Heerwarden handled and former Langy striker Sam Klepac converted from the spot. Five minutes later Strikers won a penalty but van Heerwarden hit the post and the home side had to wait until first-half injury time to level thanks to Nathan Smith after great lead-up play by John Prescott.

Strikers dominated the second half and hit the front in the 55th minute thanks to a Danny Brookes free-kick. But Mooroolbark hit back in the 80th minute when Tom Hawkins was ruled to have fouled an opponent inside the area with Klepac nabbing his second from the spot. Brandon Jansz had put in a tremendous shift and was rewarded in the 83rd minute after chasing down a long ball and opening his account for Strikers. A minute later Prescott strolled past three opponents and finished well to round off the scoreline. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United lost 3-0 at home to local rival Skye United in their State 3 SouthEast derby on Saturday. Skye opened the scoring after just six minutes when a free-kick by Mark O’Connor nestled in the right-hand side of the Seaford net. After Caleb Nicholes made it 2-0 in the 29th minute, the wheels seemed to fall off for the home side and Skye dominated for the rest of the half. Although Seaford had their chances in the second period Skye was the better side and when Tom Pollock received a red card in the 83rd minute Seaford was staring down the barrel. The final nail in the Tigers’ coffin came in the 88th minute with a clinical finish from substitute Chris Driver after a one-two with Nicholes.

Greening struck the bar in the 5th minute and three minutes later the visitors hit the front. A slick interpassing move down the left between Chris Gibson and James Hilton ended with the latter squaring the ball for striker Marcus Spivey to score from close range. Old Mentonians looked dangerous on the break while also keeping a close check on Greening and making life hard for the league’s equal leading scorer. Gibson’s low shot in the 19th minute was well saved by Somerville keeper Brad Klarenbeek and five minutes later a Harry Chapman corner was headed firmly by Ash Scholes but wide of the mark. In the 41st minute Old Mentonians failed to clear following a corner and although Jarryd Lymer did well to chest the ball down he sent his volley over the bar. Despite missing a host of regular starters Somerville kept pressing for an equaliser and eventually it came and there are no prizes for guessing who scored. In the 78th minute, Greening was given enough time on the left of the area to pick his spot and his pinpoint sidefoot volley sent the ball past Old Mentonians keeper Chris Gibbs. The final act in this contest was a header from Chapman who sent the ball just wide as a collective groan came from the home team fans. Fellow State 5 South side Aspendale Stingrays defeated Drouin Dragons 3-1 at home on Saturday with goals from Domenic Paul (2) and James Strong.

Peninsula sides take winning form to finals BASKETBALL
By Ben Triandafillou THE Finals Series kicks off on Saturday 4 August in the Big V, with several of the Mornington Peninsula sides still in the running for the championship trophies. The Chelsea Gulls division one men’s side is one of them, having been low flying throughout this season. The Gulls have put together 13 wins ina-row after round 17, and have claimed 20 victories from their 23 matches. Chelsea Gulls head coach Peter Caspersz is hoping that winning momentum can continue through to the finals. “We’ve been flying,” he said. “But without getting ahead of ourselves we still need to put it together in the finals.” “All the players – touch wood – are playing at their best with many of the players from the bench coming on to make a difference.” Their successful run has taken away a lot of the pressure which the Gulls faced last season as they scrambled to make the cut for the finals. The Gulls ended up making the grand final and finished runners-up last season, so they’ll be out to make amends this time around. The Gulls sit comfortably at the top of the table and will enjoy a bye in the opening round of the series while the Westernport Steelers, who have also secured their spot and a home final, will be striving to jump into second spot. Westernport Steelers Basketball operations manager, Tyler Molloy, said that it is still statistically possible for the side to snatch second and gain a bye in the opening week. “Everything would need to fit perfectly for us to get second, though,” he said. Molloy said that the side had a patch in the middle of the season which set them slightly
behind but their form recently is giving them confidence heading into the finals. “We lost our captain (Matt Pollard) a few weeks back with a torn Achilles, but everyone else seems to be in great form at the moment,” he said. “Our import, Dylan Travis, has more or less locked up the scoring title for the season which is great to see, and he’s looking pretty good for the MVP award too.” The Southern Peninsula Sharks division two men’s side have grabbed a home final following their dominant victory over Camberwell Dragons (69-52) in round 17, while their state championship women’s side, who have already secured a spot in the finals, will be looking to also grab a home final with a victory in round 18 against seventh-placed, Keilor Thunder. However, Southern Peninsula Sharks basketball operations manager, Lucas Allen, said that the women’s victory in round 18 won’t necessarily guarantee them the home game. “Hume City (fourth) would still need to lose for the women to move into fourth place and get the home final,” he said. “If they do get the home final they will play them (Hume City) again. They were narrowly beaten by them [in round 17] but I think they certainly have a good opportunity to turn it around and grab that win.” For the men, they have had just the one loss in their past six games, with Allen putting that down to injuries. “Their loss against Coburg came on the back of their fourth game in two weekends,” he said. “That does take it out of the players and the injuries probably took its toll. If everything goes right [through the finals] then we will see them (Coburg) in the second round.”

Waves, Saints both suffer heavy defeats NETBALL
By Ben Triandafillou THE Peninsula Waves and Southern Saints suffered respective blows from the Geelong Cougars and Hawks Netball in round 14 of the Bupa Victorian Netball League. Peninsula Waves struggled to match it with the Geelong Cougars as they run away with a 17 and 18-goal victory in the championship (49-66) and division one (45-63) games. Jess Maher put in a top performance for the Waves in goalkeeper and goal defence, while her sister, Alex Maher, was also dominant in the division one match, shooting at an 87 per cent success rate in both goal shooter and goal attack. The fourth-ranked under-19s Peninsula Waves side remains finals bound despite an 8-goal loss to the 2017 premiers and current second placed team, Geelong Cougars (4452). Sussu Liai was awarded the 3 MVP votes from the umpires after her performance in goal defence. The Southern Saints suffered a similar fate against Hawks Netball with a seven and 11-goal defeat in their championship (51-44) and division one (53-42) matches. The Southern Saints led by three
goals in the championship game at quarter time, but weren’t able to maintain the intensity that the Hawks bought. Kirsty Clark (goal defence) and Samantha Silvester (goal shooter) were both standout players on court. In the division one game, the Hawks took an early lead and maintained the margin throughout the match despite a stellar fourth quarter performance where the Saints shot 14 goals to the Hawks’ nine. Ella Quinlan had an exceptional game, shooting 23 goals from 25 attempts (92 per cent success rate). Similar to their championship match, the Saints had a promising start in their under-19s game, leading by one goal at quarter time. However, the Hawks were quick to correct their mistakes and eventually claimed the victory by 17 goals (5134). Goalkeeper Mikaela Dakic put the Hawks shooters to the test and was voted the best Saint’s player on court. The Southern Saints will travel as visitors to Diamond Creek in round 15 to compete against DC North East Blaze, while the Peninsula Waves will host their one and only home game of the season against Boroondara Express on Saturday 28 July.
