Time to ‘set a steady course’ New interim Kingston Council CEO Tim Tamlin will take the reins from the end of this month until October. Picture: Supplied

Former South Gippsland CEO gets top job Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has appointed an interim CEO. Councillors agreed to appoint Tim Tamlin to the top job at a meeting last week. He will begin on 29 March, and act in the role until 31 October. Mr Tamlin was the CEO at South

vide stability to ensure we continue providing high-quality services, invest in new facilities and support our business community during COVIDrecovery,” Cr Staikos said. Mr Tamlin said “I look forward to working closely with Kingston councillors, staff and the community to set a steady course for the council term.” An inquiry into the South Gippsland Shire found that “a high level of dis-

Gippsland Shire between 2009 and 2019. He departed the organisation shortly before all South Gippsland councillors were sacked by the state government. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said Mr Tamlin’s “strong leadership experience would help guide the City of Kingston while recruitment for the ongoing CEO position took place.” “We believe Mr Tamlin will pro-

cord, conflict and tension between the councillors had negatively impacted on the council’s performance, the councillors’ decision-making, councillor-staff relationships and council’s reputation,” the state government said in a statement after sacking the council in June 2019. Mr Tamlin takes over the Kingston CEO duties from Paul Franklin. Mr Franklin had been in the role in an

acting capacity since January after the departure of former CEO Julie Reid. Ms Reid left with more than two years to run on her contract, and was not paid out (Ex-CEO made an early exit”, The News, 20/1/2021). A five month extension to Mr Tamlin’s contract can be exercised at council’s discretion, subject to a further resolution.

Underpass opening milestone for freeway AN underpass constructed as part of the $523 million Mordialloc Freeway project has been officially opened. The underpass between Braeside Park and the Woodlands Industrial Estate is part of the eight-kilometre walking and cycling track which will run beside the freeway. The rest of the path will open once the freeway is complete. It is expected to feature pedestrian lights and crossings at each intersection, seating, bi-

cycle racks, drinking fountains, and signage to key crossing points and destinations. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “it’s fantastic to see the new pedestrian underpass now open - the first element of the Mordialloc Freeway to open to the public, with much more soon to come.” “The new freeway will greatly improve the quality of life for the local community, saving drivers 10 minutes

during peak travel times and taking 13,000 trucks off local roads,” he said. A mural will soon be installed on the underpass, measuring three metres high and 30 metres in length. The completed freeway will stretch nine kilometers from the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Springvale Road in Aspendale Gardens to the Dingley Bypass in Dingley Village. It is expected to be finished by the end of this year.

Electorate boundary changes proposed Councillor says sorry THE boundaries of the Isaacs electorate may slightly change soon under a proposed redistribution. The Australian Electoral Commission released its new proposed electorate boundaries last week. If the changes are made the southern portion of Dandenong would drop out of the Isaacs electorate, while the majority of Lyndhurst would move into it. The electorate’s boundary in Dandenong would move from the train line to the Dandenong Bypass. In Lyndhurst the boundary would move from the Western Port Highway to the train line. Electoral commissioner, Tom Rogers, said “under the proposal, the boundaries of all but nine of Victoria’s existing electoral divisions would change, the additional division of Hawke would be created and one electoral division would be renamed.” “Ongoing population growth in parts of Victoria has led the Redistribution Committee to propose a number of substantial changes to some of the state’s electoral division boundaries,” he said. Isaacs is considered to be a fairly safe seat for the Labor Party. Labor MP Mark Dreyfus was returned at the 2019 election with 56.43 per cent of the twoparty-preferred vote. Labor has held the seat for 25 years. Isaacs runs from Carrum to Moorabbin, and is bordered by Dandenong South on the eastern side. It consists of suburbs from the Kingston, Casey, and Dandenong local government areas. Any written objections to the proposed changes can be made to the AEC at FedRedistribution-VIC@aec.gov.au. They must be lodged no later than 6pm on 16 April.

A KINGSTON councillor has apologised for appearing in a video alongside a crude prop “girlfriend” with a vacuum hose for a mouth. Cr Tim Cochrane says he is “mortified” that the offensive video featuring him has resurfaced on social media. The video shows Cr Cochrane holding a vacuum hose with a crudely drawn depiction of a woman’s face around it. In the video he mockingly says “Tim, you need to get yourself a girlfriend. No I don’t,” before panning to the vulgar prop. Cr Cochrane said the video was posted on social media 10 years ago, and that he is “embarrassed” to watch it now. “This was a very foolish attempt to make a joke I thought was at my own expense, as a young man in my early 20s. I offer no excuses, this kind of stupid attempt at humour isn’t edgy or funny, it’s just dumb and thoughtless,” he said. “I now understand how offensive this video is and I’m extremely sorry. I think as men we need to call this rubbish out at all levels, especially if that means calling out our own past.” Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said “like the rest of the community, my fellow councillors and I were shocked and disappointed when we saw the offensive and inappropriate video. “

“As mayor I have discussed this matter directly with Cr Tim Cochrane who deeply regrets his actions from a decade ago. He has apologised and acknowledged his behaviour at that time was offensive and inappropriate, and in no way reflects his current views or values,” Cr Staikos said. “Kingston Council takes the issues of equality and inclusion in our community very seriously and has taken a proactive role over recent years including developing the Prevention of Family Violence Action Plan 20192021 in partnership with Victoria Police, health organisations and community groups. “All councillors will be undertaking mandatory gender equality, diversity and inclusiveness training.” Cr Staikos said the video did not put Cr Cochrane in violation of council’s code of conduct, which “governs our councillors’ behaviour while they are a councillor and performing the duties of a councillor, not before they were elected.” KINGSTON Cr Tim Cochrane.

Skye sports project finished A NEAR-million dollar redevelopment of the Skye Recreation Reserve pavilion has finished. Two additional change rooms with female amenities and unisex umpire facilities have been added to the ground. Frankston ratepayers put in just over $800,000 towards the project. A state government grant of $100,000 was also secured for the pavilion. Frankston councillor Nathan Conroy said “sport is incredibly important to the health and wellbeing of the Frankston City community and ensuring girls and women have access to the facilities they to need to participate without barriers, is a priority I know we all share.” Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this upgraded pavilion will be a game changer for local clubs, like the Skye Cricket Club and Skye United Soccer Club and I’m delighted that I was able to help deliver this project for our local community.” “It’s so important to help local sports clubs get back on their feet and it’s even better to see our

Boost for beach rescue groups THREE local beach rescue organisations have received grants to help upgrade equipment. Carrum Surf Life Saving Club has been given nearly $3000 for an inflatable rescue boat engine lifter assister and a powered hand truck lifter. Seaford Life Saving Club will receive $1380 for branded personal flotation devices and more than 20 jackets, while Carrum Coast Guard VF7 will receive just over $2500 for

the replacement of its existing CCTV system. The grants were secured through the state government’s 2020-21 volunteer emergency services equipment program. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “these important projects will give our dedicated local volunteer life savers and Carrum Coast Guard the equipment they need to keep doing what they do – keeping the rest of us

safe.” “I’d like to thank all of our volunteer groups for their hard work and ongoing dedication to keeping our local community safe. Congratulations to Carrum Surf Life Saving Club, Seaford Life Saving Club and the Carrum Coast Guard for their successful applications in the 2020-21 round of VESEP grants.” For more information about VESEP grants visit emv.vic.gov.au.

FOUR people have been charged after a series of alleged aggravated burglaries and car thefts. The alleged crimes took place across Cranbourne, Narre Warren, Berwick, Malvern, Parkdale, Sassafras, and Belgrave. Police arrested four people in an allegedly stolen car outside Berrima Court in Cranbourne at around 12.30pm, 17 March. An 18-year-old Pakenham man was charged with three aggravated burglaries, two theft of motor vehicles, two theft from motor vehicles, and handle stolen goods. A 16-year-old boy from The Patch was charged with 14 aggravated burglaries and theft of motor vehicles, 12 theft from motor vehicles, and six counts of aggravated offence of intentionally exposing an emergency worker to risk by driving.

Learner ‘lucky’ to survive crash A LEARNER driver was allegedly caught more than three times over the legal alcohol limit after crashing his car on Frankston-Dandenong Road. The 28-year-old rolled his car in Dandenong South. The vehicle came to a stop on its roof (pictured below). Police say the man freed himself and ran into nearby bushes. A statement on the police eyewatch Facebook page read that they found him “passed out in a pile of dirt on Glasscocks Road”. “The vehicle flipped several times before coming to a stop on its roof,” police said. “The driver was extremely lucky not to have killed himself or another road user by getting behind the wheel impaired.” The man was taken to hospital and a blood sample was taken. He allegedly had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.174. The Cranbourne resident is expected to be charged on summons with driving offences including learner driver unaccompanied and drink driving. He will face court at a later date.

Local groups marching for justice HUNDREDS of people on the Mornington Peninsula were in step with thousands across Australia last Monday, 15 March, at March4Justice rallies. A march in Rosebud coincided with about 20 people showing their support for an end to gender-based discrimination and violence outside the Somerville office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt. The group gathered to demand that women be “heard, respected and represented in Canberra” as well to call for an end to gender-based discrimination and violence in society. The staging of the sit-in outside Mr Hunt’s office was because “his office is our doorway to Canberra”, organiser Mieke Suggars said. Their Somerville rally was run in conjunction with a larger March4Justice at Rosebud in the Treasury Gardens, Melbourne, in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. Ms Suggars said the Somerville action was in protest at a “culture of cover up” which seeks to dismiss claims by victims of violence while seeming to support their alleged attackers. “I was disgusted by the Prime Minister [Scott Morrison] who said he took [Attorney-General] Christian Porter at his word but hadn’t even bothered to read the full details of the case made by his accuser,” she said. Mr Porter has denied a historic rape allegation by a female debating colleague in Sydney while they were teenagers. “Events or crimes are so often treated as an inconvenience or nuisance

by their perpetrators,” Ms Suggars said. “The Brittany Higgins case was treated as an election issue instead of a workplace safety issue.” Ms Suggars said most attacks against women were perpetrated by men they knew and then “the people around them cover it up”. She scoffed at the PM’s offer to “meet the rally organisers in Canberra ‘behind closed doors’” on Monday: “That’s what it’s all about,” she said. “It’s about an underlying culture of cover-up. It would show he was really listening if he came out onto the Parliament House steps and heard what the people are saying.” Stephen Taylor

WHAT’S NEW...

The Overwintering Project: Westernport THE Overwintering Project is a long-term environmental art project that unites artists around Australia to raise awareness for our most endangered group of birds, migratory shorebirds, and their habitat, coming to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, 6 March – 23 May. The Overwintering Project: Westernport focuses on Westernport as an internationally significant migratory shorebird habitat. The exhibition features 16 artists who have produced new work in a variety of media inspired by the local Westernport environment. These will be shown in conjunction with the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio, a growing collection of 300+ original prints made by artists from Australia and New Zealand in response to the unique nature of their local migratory shorebird habitat. Exhibition curator Kate Gorringe-Smith’s work is print-based; Eastern Curlew, Westernport Icon is a homage to the complex Westernport environment and to the Eastern Curlew, our most endangered migratory shorebird, that makes its home here. Featured artists include: Alexis Beckett, Andrej Kocis, Beverley Meldrum, Byron Scullin Heather Hesterman, Cathryn Vasseleu, Dominic White, Hank Tyler, Helen Kocis Edwards, Jan Parker, Kate Gorringe-Smith, Khue Nguyen, Lindy Yeates, Liz Walker, Magda Miranda, Rea Dennis, Simeon Lisovski and the artists of the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio. Kate said: “I began to use migratory shorebirds in my work for my first solo show in 2010, in particular the Bar-tailed Godwit. These birds travel annually from Australia, where they avoid the harsh northern winter, to Siberia, where they breed. Ever restless, they never settle – neither destination is their true home. These tiny birds can fly for eight days straight without stopping to rest or eat; they can navigate an entire ocean without any landmarks; they can fly in their lifetime further than from the earth to the moon, and they link the 23 countries of the East Asian Australasian Flyway with their journeys. Since

my first shorebird and migration inspired solo exhibition in 2010, I have continued to work with migratory shorebirds as my major theme, they fascinate me and I find them endlessly beautiful.” The intention of the exhibition is to engage people with a local environment they may already know and love, sparking recognition and wonder for this unique place that we share with such amazing creatures. The Overwintering Project: Westernport also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, is part of the 2021 Art+Climate=Change Festival, and is dedicated to the memory of Dr Clive Minton OAM, father of Australian shorebird research. The Overwintering Project: Westernport is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, by the VWSG, BirdLife Australia and the UNESCO Western Port Biosphere Reserve.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The Honour Avenue falls into neglect Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR Mark Brody (who says he is “not a councillor”) has written to “The Standard”: I am loathe to rush into print, but the circumstances warrant it. It is a crying shame and disgrace the neglected look of that fine double row of trees planted in memory of those brave boys who assisted (and succeeded) in keeping the detestable Hun from our shores (and God help us if they had succeeded). I am more than astonished at the attitude of parents whose sons paid the supreme sacrifice. On looking over the Avenue, one will see several fine ones with an angle of 90 degrees, others twisted and sweeping the ground, whilst quite a number are missing altogether. The whole affair wears a neglected look and bears out the old adage “out of sight, out of mind”and now the glamour of war is over and no chance of much limelight, it is nobody’s business to keep up the memory of our protectors. In other towns not so pretentious as Frankston one notices that where they have made an effort in the same direction the place is well looked after. We have returned men in our midst who would be thankful for a little work, and I would humbly suggest that if no one is responsible some of our old and tried councillors should fall into the breach, as the matter wants attention at once before the windy season is upon us. A Ballarat man was speaking to me last week, and comparing ours and theirs he “smole a smile”, as he said

theirs was a picture and a joy for ever! I apologise for taking the liberty of writing thus.” *** A FORMER stationmaster at Frankston, Mr J. McDonald, has been paying the village a visit, renewing old friendships and making new ones. *** MR W. D. Leckie, the far known Scot, recently visited Frankston and conferred with “a brither Scot,” Mr Milner Macmaster, regarding the prospective Mornington Peninsula Caledonian Society. *** THE late Mrs Eliza Robins, late of Cranbourne has left £3,697, part of which is likely to benefit the Melbourne and Women’s Hospitals. *** THE residents of Carrum are holding bazaars, euchre parties, &c. to assist the blind soldier, Sergt Dudley Newgent, who resides at Carrum. A queen carnival is occasioning great excitement. *** MR and Mrs W. J. Adams who arrived by the Narkunda from England immediately upon arrival enjoyed a motor trip to Frankston and Flinders. Mr and Mrs A. H. Sargood, with Miss Lorna Sargood, of Mornington Road, Frankston, sailed by the Narkunda for England. The oldest son will stay and occupy a stool in the London office of Sargood’s Ltd. Major and Mrs Stewart Balmain, late of Balnarring, sailed, by the same boat. Mrs Lunn, who arrived from England by the Borda to take charge of

the Ragged Boys’ Home, Frankston, is the mother of Mrs W. Minton, whose husband is secretary of the Home. Mrs Lunn had charge of the late Dr Barnardo’s first Home for Boys at Brighton, where boys were trained and sent to Canada. She also organised the Crippled Children’s Homes at Birmingham. *** MRS James Grice, of “Moondah,” Frankston, was present at the recent reception held by Mrs George Fairbairn at “Dunraven,” Toorak, in honor of her, daughter, Mrs Stewart Balmain. *** MR William Keast, of Keast Bros (Frankston, Somerville and Hastings) who has been in indifferent health for some time, has left Frankston to reside inland. *** AT the Frankston police court on Monday, 7th March, before Mr. Knight, P.M., and Mr. C. W. Grant J.P., the following cases were dealt with: Clarke v. McKenzie. Adjourned for four weeks. Police v. H. Woodward, neglecting to send child to school. Fined 10/-, in default 3 days. Inspector of Factories v. Malcolm Russell, Chelsea, failing to keep his factory clean — Dismissed on the promise that defendant had already been fined under the Health Act for an offence arising out of the same set of facts at the Cheltenham Court. Borough of Carrum v. L. J. Dodd, J. McIvoy and 20 other defendants, all residing within the Borough of Carrum, for allowing stock to stray. Mr. Williams, who appeared to

prosecute, explained that the by-law since the severance from Dandenong had been inoperative. It had now been made effective and while he did not press for heavy penalties, he asked that defendants should be made to realise the seriousness of the offence. Fines ranging from 2/6 to 5/- with 4/6 costs and 10/6 council’s fees were imposed. The P.M. remarked that his colleague (Mr. Grant) considered the solicitor’s fee too high. Mr. Williams said these cases did not pay him, and he would prefer to be without them. The P.M. suggested that future prosecutions could he conducted by the officers of the council. Monday, 14th March. Before Cr. W. P. Mason and Capt. S. Sherlock, J.’s.P. Wm. McLeod proceed against Wm. Connal on a charge of using insulting words in a public place. Mr. Sharp appeared for complainant and Mr. L. L. Rostron defended. Complainant said he was a fisherman and was 84 years of age. On the 5th March defendant on two occasions in Bay street, Frankston, called him a d—— old thief and a d—— old rogue. Cross-examined by Mr. Rostron, complainant said the accusation was an unjust one. Arthur Ryan said he heard Connal accuse McLeod of taking his bait. Witness stated the words used, which were of a lurid character. Cross-examined, witness was positive as to his evidence. He had once taken a pair of oars belonging to Mr. Gregory in mistake.

Defendant said on the morning in question he and Francis were the only two fishermen with trout. A boy told him that an old man had taken trout out of a box on the pier. He admitted calling McLeod a thief and a rogue and threatened to prosecute him for theft. Cross-examined by Mr. Sharp, witness was not acting on supposition. He did not know where McLeod’s boat was now. He heard it was missing. Mr. Sharp: You have a weakness for suspecting people. Some time ago you suspected a man in the town of being a German. Mr. Rostron objected to this line of cross-examination, and instructed witness not to answer certain other questions. Frank Francis supported the statement that he and Connal were the only two fishermen with trout on the morning in question. He was sleeping on the pier to catch complainant. E. Burton said he saw trout in complainant’s basket on the morning referred to. To Mr. Sharp: He knew nothing about a herring being drawn across the trail. Had never heard of it. (Laughter.) Re-examined, witness had never been in court before. Burton had told him to get bait from his boat when he wanted it. Witness was a married man with a family. The Bench dismissed the case, each party to pay their own costs. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 18 March 1921

Gift keeps on giving after third running By Brosnan Kelly

HASTINGS GIFT

SATURDAY 13 March saw the third running of the Hastings Gift carnival. After a tough and trying 2020, not even saturating conditions could deter athletes from around the country from flocking to the Thomas Barclay Oval for a display of competitive professional athletics.

"We would like to thank our sponsors Mornington Peninsula Shire, AGL, Port of Hastings Development Authority, Tuckett Tyrepower Hastings, Jack Engineering P/L, Westernport Innate Chiropractic and Peninsula Heating, Cooling & Electrical for their continued support," said event organiser, Terry Kelly. The Hastings Gift is organised by a local community based group, ‘Pen-

insula Athletics Association Incorporated’. The event was initiated in 2018 to raise awareness of Hastings and attract tourism to the Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula areas, as well as aiding in the continuity of the richly historic sport of Professional Athletics. The AGL Hastings Women’s Gift was run and won by a young, yet seasoned professional in Hanna Duynhoven in a

time of 14.71 seconds. The AGL Hastings Men’s Gift was taken out by another regular professional athlete Matt Burleigh in 13.01 seconds. Both of these athletes are regular competitors in the Victorian Athletic League and will be incredibly entertaining and eagerly anticipated at this year’s Stawell Easter Gift. In its first two years The Hastings Gift has already produced two winning

athletes in a Stawell Gift final, in Dhruv Rodriguez Chico (2018 Men’ Gift) and Sophia Fighera (2019 Women’s Gift). A healthy omen for these two stellar performing athletes in 2021. "We wish Hanna and Matt a great rest of the season and best of luck, as well as all competitors on the day," said Mr Kelly.

Heart scare for Swayn MPNFL

PINES coach Paddy Swayn is on the mend after a medical scare. Swayn was taken to Frankston Hospital for emergency pacemaker surgery after suffering from a “cardiac episode at home”, Peninsula Health says. Swayn said “on behalf of my family and I, we would like to thank the Ambulance Victoria staff, and all the nurses and doctors at Peninsula Health for their professionalism and level of care.”

CRICKET

PENINSULA Veterans Over 50s Cricket team capped off an exciting first year by defeating Garfield/Tynong in their grand final at Frankston on Sunday 21 March. Batting first the peninsula team scored 3/223 in their 40 overs. Henry Dolphin, Chris Lanting and Al Davie all retired at the compulsory 40 runs. They were backed up by Brendon Gardner, 18, David Martin, 26, John Harrison, 23 not out and

Brian Parton, 17 not out. In reply Garfield only managed 97 with all bowlers playing their part backed by some excellent fielding. John Harrison, 1/11, and Craig Burch, 2/25, took early wickets and Jason Nagel starred with the great figures of 4/5. The win capped a great season and David Martin and his team are looking forward to bigger challenges next year when they defend their title. Veterans’ cricket is expanding rapidly and the peninsula boys loved the chance to compete in this new competition.

“Everyone ensured I was safe and quickly on that road to recovery, all the while keeping my wife informed during some difficult hours. I feel extremely fortunate to live in a state that has such a great level of medical knowledge, resources and care for its citizens,” the 2018 MPNFL premiership coach said. Pines’ season is due to kick off against Frankston YCW under lights at Frankston Park on 9 April.

Langwarrin’s 10 men walk tall SOCCER

Civic reception: The matchday squad that earned Mount Martha a point in its first ever league game at Civic Reserve last weekend. Picture: Gordon Poole

By Craig MacKenzie AN OUTSTANDING defensive display from Langwarrin underpinned its spirited 2-1 win over Manningham United Blues in their NPL2 clash at Lawton Park on Saturday. The home team had just gone 2-0 up in the first half when left back Jaiden Madafferi was sent off in controversial circumstances. Langy was in rampant mood early on and within three minutes Tom Youngs had sent Sammy Orritt clear on the left. Orritt’s composed finish gave advancing Manningham keeper Stefan Taleski no chance. Straight from the restart Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren was forced to spread himself and block Franc Carafa’s attempt with a leg. Damir Stoilovic broke on the left in the 28th minute and his low firmly hit cross to the far post would have set up Orritt but Manningham left back Dylan Bresolin got there first only to turn the ball into his own net. At this stage it looked as if Langy could run away with the contest but before the restart Madafferi had got in the face of an opponent who claimed he was punched. Referee Aleksandar Liber consulted with his young assistants then sent off Madafferi to the bemused reaction of many spectators and the shared bewilderment of the player and the Langwarrin bench. This changed the direction of the contest especially in the second half but Manningham hadn’t counted on a disciplined and concerted effort by every Langy player to pressure the ball and close down opponents particularly inside Langy’s defensive half. Manningham’s only effective response came via a Billy Romas free kick in the 68th minute and for the last 10 minutes home team fans cheered every challenge and every effort to keep the visitors at bay. Mornington kicked off its State 1 campaign with a comefrom-behind win at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. South Springvale led with a converted penalty from Thomas Simos in the 41st minute but

a Josh Hine penalty three minutes into the second half made it 1-1 and star striker Milos Lujic got the winner in the 88th minute. A stunning reaction save from Taylor Davidson in injury time secured the points for the home side. In State 2 Peninsula Strikers lost 2-1 away to Mooroolbark on Saturday while Skye United won 4-0 against North Caulfield at Knox Regional Football Centre on Sunday night. Strikers led at half-time through a Ben Doree goal in the 16th minute but Ross Clark equalised in the 70th minute and Liam Seaye’s winner came from the penalty spot with five minutes of normal time remaining. Big Caleb Nicholes gave Skye a 1-0 half-time lead and doubled his tally in the 61st minute before Skye captain Marcus Collier and Mitch Blake scored in the last 20 minutes to seal the deal. Frankston Pines started what it hopes to be a successful State 3 campaign with a 2-0 win at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve against Brighton on Saturday evening. The visitors’ confidence was sky high after pushing Langwarrin the previous week in an FFA Cup tie but Pines bossed much of this contest and took the lead when Pines midfielder Savenaca Baledrokadroka was involved in a slick interpassing exchange and finished it off by stroking the ball past advancing Brighton keeper Gabriel Alfaro in the 35th minute.

Baledrokadroka played a pivotal role in the second goal in the 92nd minute when he chested down on the right then turned and struck a low ball across the face of goal for substitute Kevin Brown who finished from close range. In State 4 Chelsea celebrated its new lights at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Friday with a thumping 5-1 win over FC Noble Hurricanes. Max Timuska-Carr and Dylan Scott gave Chelsea a 2-0 half-time lead and although Anthony Tang made it 2-1 seven minutes into the second half Piers Brelsford restored the two-goal cushion and late goals to William Ong and TimuskaCarr sent the home team to the top of the league table. An undermanned Baxter outfit beat Dandenong South 2-0 at Baxter Park on Saturday. Ben Meiklem capped an excellent run down the left in the 15th minute when he chipped Dandy South keeper Eroll Lumani and four minutes into the second half Luke Grant put Daniel Fernandes through and he calmly slotted it past Lumani to make it 2-0. Charlie O’Connell, Josh Wood and Jack Buttery are expected to come into the matchday squad for Baxter’s home clash with FC Noble Hurricanes this weekend. Wood is expected to sign this week and is a former Altona Magic, Southern Stars, Strikers and Pines player who can be used in a wide right position or in behind the central striker. Harry McCartney reports that

Seaford United and Endeavour United shared the points at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. There were only two goals in this contest but there could have been many more. Dylan Waugh broke into a one on one and finished well to put Seaford ahead but a controversial equaliser in the 37th minute was the contest’s main talking point. Seaford coach Peter Schwellinger claims that the visitor’s linesman (no official linesmen were supplied) was well behind play when a cross bounced on top of the Seaford crossbar and was headed on the rebound by Endeavour’s Maqsod Mansuri. “Their linesman was well behind the play and signalled for a goal even though the ball did not even touch the line

with two of our defenders and our keeper behind the ball yet the referee awarded a goal,” Schwellinger said. Endeavour had the better of the second half but couldn’t grab the winner. Seaford was without Tom Hogan due to a groin injury and Adam Martin and Waugh had to come off in the second half. Tristan Stass was back and had a fine game as did young Mitch Hawkins. Somerville Eagles had a bye but will play their league opener against Seaford this weekend. In State 5 Rosebud drew 2-2 at Olympic Park against South East United, Mount Martha drew 2-2 with White Star Dandenong at Civic Reserve while the Knox United clash with Aspendale Stingrays was postponed. Aspendale claimed that once Knox indicated it did not have a ground available the local side offered to host the fixture but Knox refused. Seven minutes into Rosebud’s game defender Owen McDougall fell awkwardly and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken collarbone.

Chris Parry was fouled by South East United keeper Nicholas Ambor in the 18th minute and Rosebud playercoach Mark Pagliarulo converted from the spot. Munib Mohamed levelled for the visitors in the 35th minute but three minutes later Stef Papaluca sent Parry through to put the home side 2-1 up. Parry hit the bar twice in the second half but the points were shared thanks to a Denis Karac penalty in the 79th minute. Mount Martha led White Star 1-0 at the interval through a Tom Faska goal in the 18th minute but the visitors took a 2-1 lead in the second period only for a Kiel Burich penalty in the 81st minute to earn a share of the spoils. This weekend’s round 2 fixtures: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Frankston Pines v Elwood City (Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Northcote City (Lawton Park), Warragul Utd v Mornington (Trafalgar Recreation Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Doncaster Rovers (Centenary Park), Old Scotch v Skye Utd (HA Smith Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Seaford Utd (Tyabb Central Reserve), Baxter v FC Noble Hurricanes (Baxter Park), Endeavour Utd v Chelsea (Reema Reserve), South East Utd v Aspendale Stingrays (WJ Turner Reserve), Bunyip District v Mount Martha (Bunyip Recreation Reserve).

The Wizard works his magic at Mornington HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou WESTERN Australian jockey William Pike demonstrated his prowess in the saddle on Mornington Cup day on Saturday 20 March claiming four of the nine races on the card. Coming off the back of a dominant victory in the Group One William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night, William ‘The Wizard’ Pike continued on his winning ways at Mornington to win both of the feature races, the Listed Mornington Cup and Listed Hareeba Stakes, among others. Celebrating his birthday on the same day, Pike kicked off the winning run aboard the Andrew Noblet-trained Ginger Jones to lead all of the way in the Mornington Peninsula News Group Handicap (1200m). Pike then teamed up with Western Australian-based trainers Sean and Jake Casey to win the three-year-old Quayclean Mornington Guineas with the promising Dom To Shoot. They combined again in the Neds Hareeba Stakes (1200m) as Laverrod rattled home to overrun the heavily-supported Phillip Stokes-trained Ancestry. Splitting the two victories, Pike saluted aboard the

Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes-trained Mount Popa in the $350,000 Listed Neds Mornington Cup (2400m) with a masterful front-running ride. The arrogant three-length victory provided Mount Popa with a ‘golden ticket’ into the Group One Caulfield Cup in the Spring. Following the remarkable four-peat jockey William Pike said he’d be celebrating with a calm night in. “A cup of tea and a block of chocolate and that’s about it,” William Pike said post-race. As for the exciting stayer Mount Popa, Pike said he could feel his talent as soon as he stepped out onto the track. “The moment I cantered off on him in his prelim I knew I had a serious horse underneath me. They just have the suspen-

sion, they have that feel,” he said. “I was a little concerned when I lobbed in front. I was hoping to get cover and hoping to have something to follow but I think he was too good so it didn’t matter. At the end of the day he feels pretty nice and he was too good today.” Co-trainer Wayne Hawkes said the Caulfield Cup contender will now head to the paddock on a high. “It was beautiful to watch at least from where I was,” Hawkes said following the Cup victory. “He only had one run left in him and that was today so it all worked out perfectly. It’s a long time to the spring now so they can have a good spell now these horses.”
