Billions in budget for rail loop

Brodie Cowburn

THE federal government’s announced $2.2 billion commitment to the sub urban rail loop project has been con firmed.

The federal budget handed down last week locked in the federal govern ment’s contribution to the project. La

bor made the commitment in May in the leadup to its election.

The eastern section of the controver sial rail loop will start at a new Chel tenham Station built using public land at Sir William Fry Reserve. The station will be roughly half a kilometer from the nearest Frankston line station at Southland.

The Parliamentary Budget Office has estimated the cost of building SRL

East, which will link Cheltenham to Box Hill, to be $36.5 billion. The com pleted rail loop will link every rail line to the airport. The PBO estimated that building the loop from Cheltenham to the airport could cost $125 billion.

Infrastructure minister Catherine King said that the federal government’s first budget of its term “will honour the pledges we made to voters, while also managing the economy in an uncertain

global environment.”

“Infrastructure is critical to build ing the nation we all want and the Albanese government’s budget in vestments in infrastructure deliver the best outcome for the Australian people now and into the future. The Alba nese government wants infrastructure that leaves a lasting legacy,” she said.

“The budget takes an important first step in ensuring the Commonwealth’s

infrastructure spending is responsible, affordable and sustainable. We are de livering on our election commitments which takes the total investment in transport infrastructure in every state and territory in this budget at $55 bil lion over the forward estimates for new and existing projects.”

The state opposition has pledged to shelve the rail loop if it wins next month’s election.

Contracts signed for sky rail works

CONTRACTS to build elevated rail at Parkdale have been signed.

Sky rail will be built to replace the level crossings at Warrigal Road in Mentone and Parkers Road in Park dale. Last week the Level Crossing Removal Project confirmed that a contract worth $450 million to deliver

the project had been signed.

A new Parkdale Station will be built as part of the project. The state government has announced it intends to remove all level crossings on the Frankston line by 2029. The Parkdale level crossings are expected to be gone by 2025.

The project will be delivered by Acciona, Coleman Rail, WSP, Metro Trains Melbourne, and the Level Crossing Removal Project.

Residents contribute ideas for new pool

A GROUP of community members has been formed to help shape the fu ture of the proposed swimming cen tre in Mordialloc.

Kingston Council is planning to build the new pool at a site by Jack Grut Reserve. The new pool will re place the closed Don Tatnell Leisure Centre in Parkdale.

Last week council confirmed that a 25 person “community reference group” has been appointed to help bring the project to life. The group will discuss the project regularly and offer feedback to council on its pro gress.

Last year Kingston Council ex ecuted an option deed worth $14.6 million for a site at 1-7 Wells Road.

The land will be used for the aquatic centre.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said the new aquatic centre “is one of the most significant projects in the his tory of our city.”

“This is a major investment in the future health and wellbeing of our residents, and we are committed to working in partnership with the community to make sure we design a centre that serves everyone well for decades to come,” he said. “It will be right in the heart of King ston and will become an asset for all ages. From learning to swim, play ing in water, building strength in the gym and practicing your butterfly, to warm water exercise and rehabilita

tion - it will cater to you.

“The community reference group will play a key role in representing the different community needs and views during this important plan ning phase and have an influence on the design. We are committed to providing facilities that are more sustainable, accessible, and environ mentally sensitive and that will be a major focus of this project as well.”

A report prepared for Kingston Council in 2021 read that the cost of building a new aquatic centre could be between $40 million and $50 mil lion (“Preferred site for new pool revealed” The News 19/1/22). The federal government has pledged $20 million towards the project.

Busy intersection reopens

THE intersection connecting Frankston-Dandenong Road to Lathams Road and Hall Road has reo pened.

Motorists travelling through the intersection have had to deal with three months of lane closures while upgrades took place. The project will see the construction of extra through lanes and dedicated turning lanes onto and off Frankston-Dandenong Road.

Major Road Projects Victoria says that the project will save commuters five minutes. “Thanks to the addition al capacity from the upgraded inter section, drivers heading to and from EastLink, Dandenong South, Cran

bourne and Frankston are expected to save up to five minutes on their round trip in peak hour and have better ac cess to local businesses and services in the booming Carrum Downs indus trial area,” it said.

The project is expected to be com plete in early 2023. The final layer of asphalt will be laid later this year.

Gallery residency for First Nations artists

A RESIDENCY program for First Nations artists is being established at Langwarrin’s McClelland Gallery.

The four artists selected to take part in the Bunurong Fieldwork Residency will work on concepts for a public artwork. Successful applicants will receive $17600, plus $2000 in travel expenses, to undertake a maximum three-month residency in the McClel land studio cottage between 2023 and 2024.

McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne hopes that the program will address the “scarcity of First Nations cultural markers on the Mornington Peninsula.”

“While the number of public art commissions available to Australian artists increases every year, only a small number of First Nations artists are given the opportunity to realise these. The residency program intends to provide four First Nations artists or artist teams with the time, space, skills and connections required to develop and realise public artworks. It aims to upskill the four artists/artist teams to work in the field of public art practice, which will embed First Nations prac tice within the field of Australian and international public art,” Byrne said.

“Each artist-in-residence will engage with the Bunurong community via McClelland’s First Nations education and public programs manager and the registered Aboriginal party, the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, in the development of a

public artwork that will lead to broader community understanding of the cul ture and history of the Bunurong peo ple. It is envisioned that one of the four major public artwork proposals will be realised by 2025 with support from public and private sectors to a value of up to $1.5 million, to be fabricated and installed at a culturally significant site on the Peninsula Link freeway to mark and celebrate the Bunurong People’s local presence, culture and heritage.”

The program is supported the Bunu rong Land Council Aboriginal Corpo ration and Service Stream. McClelland will also pay cultural engagement fees to the Bunurong Aboriginal Land Council Aboriginal Corporation.

Expressions of interest close at 5pm on 16 November 2022. For more information visit artshub.com.au/ opportunity/the-bunurong-fieldworkresidency-program-at-mcclelland.

Sports projects get green light

PETER Scullin Reserve and the Bon beach St Chads Baseball Club will both receive upgrades.

The two sites were chosen for up grades through the state government’s local sports infrastructure fund. It will spend $300,000 on a playspace at Peter Scullin Reserve in Mordialloc, and $125,000 for new lighting at the baseball club.

Both projects are expected to be complete in 2023. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said that the funding was “most appreciated.”

“The suite of projects we are cur

rently working on will collectively address current barriers to participa tion, improve accessibility, increase participation rates, provide much needed support to our local sporting clubs, and assist in the promotion of play and healthy active lifestyles for the community,” he said.

Bonbeach Sports Reserve will re ceive a $5 million upgrade if the Liberals win the state election next month.

The state opposition promised the cash for the project last week. The planned upgrade includes a new club

house, 120 car spaces, lighting, and drainage upgrades to the main oval.

Shadow sports minister Cindy McLeish said “this new clubroom will offer the Bonbeach Junior Sporting Clubs room to grow and engage with more young sport enthusiasts across the region. It will increase female par ticipation with new changerooms for both male and females.”

“We recognise the important role that being involved in social sports plays for our youth, especially for their physical and social health and wellbeing,” she said.

Shire lowers iron curtain of secrecy over payout

I thought question time at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meetings meant that the public could ask a relevant question of the council and would receive a reasonable and sensible answer.

At the public meeting on Tuesday 18 October, I found out how wrong I was.

Two questions were asked about the reasons behind the shire’s proposal to give the operators of the Tyabb airfield $350,000 (“‘Secretive’ $350,000 payout to aero club” The News 25/10/22).

The CEO responded that these would be answered later in the meeting when the matter of the termination of a 20-year-old agreement between the shire and the airfield operators would be discussed.

However, when the time for subject was reached there was no meaningful discussion or explana tion. It was obvious that the decision to pay out the $350,000 had already been made, in secret, prior to the meeting.

One courageous councillor did attempt repeated ly to extract a reasoned explanation from the CEO but was met with incomprehensible and meaning less jargon. It was clear that the public was not to know what the basis of this secret deal was

I stood up and objected and was roundly chas tised by the mayor. In disgust, I left the meeting, only to be pursued by the mayor and the CEO into the lobby of the shire offices. As an 83-year-old, ex-serviceman who has fought for his country I was not in the least bit perturbed. However, the event does raise serious questions about the behav iour and propriety of our council and councillors. Shire residents deserve transparency and reason able answers to their questions during the public question time, not evasion and gobbledygook. Democracy or dictatorship? I leave readers to de cide if an iron curtain of secrecy has fallen across our shire. David Lines, Somerville

Travel problems

These areas do indeed need attention and perhaps more frequently (“Bumpy ride for wheelchairs”, “Parking problems” and “Sack the council” Let ters 4/10/22). If not, longer lasting pothole repairs would be wonderful.

This would make road use less painful and detrimental.

Transition from car to business would also be safer and smoother without the need to negotiate auto traffic. Fran Williamson, Baxter

Time to volunteer

I am so upset with the situations seniors and disa bled citizens find themselves.

They desperately need help which they are entitled to, from Mornington Peninsula Shire and alternative providers.

How would you like to have only one shower weekly, no house cleaning and no one to visit to take you out for a while?

The price of meals on wheels has increased, but the quality of some not as enjoyable as previously. If shortage of staff is the problem, surely some one in government has the brains to encourage long term unemployed to be thoroughly trained to help. You have to start somewhere.

This is a disgraceful state of affairs, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not acting earlier.

I have many relatives and friends who reside on the peninsula, most of them born here, who have willingly contributed to several organisations to help those less fortunate.

Our time on Earth is not always for very long. I urge those who fritter the days away to do some thing positive to help those in need.

You might even enjoy the experience.

Shirley Higgins, Mornington

Vote independent

If you vote in the state seats of Hastings, Morning ton and Nepean you may need to know about your candidates and what they are not telling you.

There has been an explosion of far-right wing religious preselection tactics in the normally small L Liberal Party branches on the peninsula (“Turf war splits peninsula Liberals” The News 23/8/22).

Some preselected Liberal candidates have Amer ican style anti-abortion and homophobic beliefs but have not spoken about these issues which will only emerge as “conscience” votes in parliament.

All Labor candidates support recently passed state government legislation allowing sex workers to operate home businesses in every residential street. This is without the need for permits or any notice to neighbours.

The Labor planning minister has stated that these businesses are allowed to operate next to schools, kindergartens and churches. Councils cannot interfere.

There is no limit on the number that can operate in your street from next year.

Fortunately, we have a choice.

We can vote for moderate Independents who support the values of peninsula residents, not the views of unelected pressure groups within the Liberal and Labor parties.

David Gill, councillor Mornington Peninsula Shire Red Hill Ward

Sign rules

Little known fact: there are many rules and regula tions dictating what constitutes a compliant or legal electoral sign.

You would think that after the many years of campaigning, the Liberal Party would be well versed and adhere to everyone.

It appears, however, that they would rather place these signs in prime positions, without the consent of landowners, exceeding size restrictions, or in direct violation of council’s own electoral signage legislation (as was the case with [Chris] Crewther’s sign on the Mornington footy oval, later removed) and simply hope they have enough time to be seen before they are pulled down.

These signs don’t just advertise the Liberal candidates themselves but the (lack of) values and integrity of the entire party.

Re-warming planet

I will vote for any party that will step in and stop the profiteering and irresponsibility in our chaotic and unreliable electricity supply system with all of the little and big investors and shareholders wrangling for maximum profits; causing a neverending upward spiral in prices for the powerless consumers, together with insufficient power avail able at times.

Victorian Labor has announced that it will reestablish a government owned energy companythe State Electricity Commission - and bring power back into the hands of the Victorian people, with profits going back into the network.

That’s a good first step.

It also intends to generate an extra 4.5 gigawatts of publicly owned renewable electricity.

Here, I would like to remind people that 4.5gw of power can be produced, non-stop 24/7, by just 4.5 modern steam turbine generators in the Latrobe Valley; or by about 250 offshore wind turbines mounted on very strong pylons in the ocean; or nuclear.

I also need to point out the fact that the world has only increased in temperature by about one degree since the great 500-year long (document ed) planetary very cold snap, which ended around 1850 when re-warming to “normal” started.

I would have anticipated a temperature rise of three or four degrees by now, 170 years on, and I’m concerned that the planet is not warming up.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Shopping abuse

I was physically abused by teens at the bottom of the escalators in Mornington Centro.

I called police, who have done nothing, and the [abusers] now know where I live.

They followed me over to my house and told me to be scared in case my house is vandalised. Spoke with local shop people, and it’s an issue.

Greens outdated

Greens Party senator Lydia Thorpe in yet another example of disrespect and self-importance seems to consider herself bigger than the parliamentary criteria for representing the people of Australia.

The Aboriginal community deserves better. Obviously, the leader of the Greens is incapable of checking the appropriate standards of people

worthy of working for the good of Australia.

Any person walking into parliament with a clenched fist does not have peace as a priority, but division and disharmony.

It seems the Greens have lost their way. Haven’t heard a word about protection of our native flora and fauna or a word against the inappropri ate bowing of councils to developers wrecking natural habitat.

Let’s face it, the Greens are passed their use by date. Maureen Sharpe, Bittern

Feel like gambling?

It seems barely a day goes by lately without disturbing media reports of record pokies losses or controversial casino practices, and children are continuously exposed to saturation levels of sports betting advertising.

These extremes are newsworthy stories about which we are right to be concerned, but the negative effects of gambling can be more subtle. So subtle, in fact, that those affected sometimes don’t make the connection between how they are feeling or behaving and their gambling activities.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed? Do you have an underlying sense of regret about money lost or time spent gambling? Perhaps you’re having difficulty concentrating or sleeping. Or maybe you’re more irritable or short-tempered than usual.

While these signs of gambling harm may seem relatively minor, they can build up over time, which is why Victorians are being encouraged during this year’s Gambling Harm Awareness Week (17–23 October) to pause and consider whether gambling could be affecting their wellbeing.

Time to reach out

I write on behalf of the not-for-profit Mental Ill ness Fellowship of Australia.

My simple message is that if your readers are impacted in any way by a mental health issue, they should reach out because there is help avail able.

We have an important project called Finding North that is very user-friendly and is – in simple terms – an on-line initiative which links people with mental health issues with other people facing similar issues so they can offer support to each other.

The time for action on mental health is unques tionably now. We know that a massive 54 per cent of all Australians affected by mental illness simply do not access any kind of treatment.

We know that 3.8 million Australians now live with mental illness – it’s enough people to fill a city the size of Hobart 17.5 times.

COVID has led to an escalation in fear and anxiety. Far too many people at a local level are ending up in hospital emergency rooms … be cause they simply don’t know where to go to.

We’re urging all governments to invest more

in services that help people with mental health issues. We desperately need to make it easier for people to access the very real help that is out there.

We urgently need to address the attitudes and beliefs that can exclude people who have a mental illness from workplaces, communities and social circles. The reality is people with mental illness can live well in the community and do recover if the right clinical and community support is there.

We urge all readers to have a look at our impor tant latest project. Just go to www.findingnorth network.com.au

The Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia also has a free phone line to help people – 1800 985 944.

Protect kangaroos

While kangaroos are being cruelly slaughtered across Australia for pet food and footballs, another threat to their ongoing survival is wildlife exclusion fencing.

Properties surrounding Greens Bush on Mornington Peninsula are erecting these fences whether they have stock or empty paddocks. This is under the misconception that kangaroos will compete with livestock for grasses. Wrong. They eat different grasses and assist with pasture health and fire mitigation.

The exclusion fences are pushing kangaroos into smaller areas and onto roads, injuring and killing them. Putting motorists at risk. Planning authorities need to review their rules. We must stop vilifying our national emblem and start see ing them as a valuable part of our environment and a tourist attraction. Jo Hansen, Rye

Staffing hospitals

Both major parties promise significant spending to build hospitals, but where are the staff coming from? Time for independent representation, from someone who has actually worked in a hospital and knows what is needed to repair a broken health system. Alan Wittick, Mount Eliza

Liberal moves

Liberal candidates all over Victoria are dumping the words Liberal Party or any party logos from their campaign material and even changing their colours.

Then there are the pseudo independents trained by Liberals to defuse the voting against them.

Elizabeth Woolcock (Nepean) running as an inde pendent who has a long standing relationship with Liberals and [former Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has, at least, been forthright in saying she will suggest Liberals as first preference (Liberal turns independent for Nepean” The News 12/9/22).

Imagine voting for a party even though they are ashamed of it themselves and will try to trick you with colours and pseudo independents.

To be a Lib or not to be a Lib, that is the ques tion.

Fruitgrowers urged to join an association

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

IN a reply to Mr. Prendergast, leader, of the Opposition, Mr. MacPherson, State Treasurer, stated that he had been approached by representatives from a certain fruitgrowing district supporting over 2000 growers.

Their request was for monetary assistance to help them organise the sale of their produce.

He had made enquiries and found that out of the 2000 growers only 150 of these were willing to help themselves by joining and support ing the growers’ organisation.

The district was not the Penin sula, but growers in this part of the country could well take the lesson to heart.

There are three Associations –Somerville, Tyabb and Red Hill– but the membership of these far from includes all growers in the district.

Then, at the important fruit centre of Hastings there is no Association.

One prominent grower there was even heard to remark that he would not join the Association to help keep some fellows in good billets in town.

Perhaps the reference was to the secretary of the Central Association, who receives a princely salary of £100 per annum.

The Association, however, helps hammering away with every little concession is hard fought for and thoroughly appreciated by its mem bers.

Enjoyed also by non-members and such communities as Hastings. Is it a fair thing that they should sit back while the faithful few do all the

battling?

And with every grower a member of the organisation not only would the battling be reduced but the ben efits to the industry and each grower would increase in leaps and bounds.

When the man who grows the apple ponders over the fact that he keeps alive half a dozen industriescase, spray material and implement manufacturers, commission agents, retailers–and considers that each and every one of these is thoroughly organised, even to the extent of hav ing the power to crush out units who refuse to support them, surely, then, he will admit that it is time he did something to protect himself, and the only way he can do so is by identify ing himself with his organisation and supporting it in every way possible.

And now, especially, in view of the campaign which in being undertaken by different departments of the Government and the efforts being put forward by those growers who are organised, should he consider it a bounden duty to link up and do his bit of pushing.

THE fast electric train service to Frankston has given an impetus to the seaside resorts along this popular line, and among the most favored is the delightful district of Seaford, with its lovely sandy beach, shady ti tree walks, etc.

Mr. C. Hunter, the past President of the Seaford Progress Association having left the district, the whole of his properties, comprising 2 compact houses, 5 rooms each, bungalow, sleep-out, all in good order will be

offered for sale.

Land, 50 x 139 each; also boathouse and boat, and 2 vacant lots in Mackenzie Street.

The boat is 14 ft., centreplate, car bon built, sails and all gear, is well known and a pleasure to own.

The boat-shed is 20 x .12 and in splendid condition.

The terms are easy and the proper ties are for positive sale.

A quantity of good, useful house hold furniture will also be sold.

Sale day, Saturday, November 11, at 3 o’clock.

A QUIET but pretty wedding took place at the Methodist Church, Church Street, Richmond, on Sat urday, October 28, when Miss T. L. Stott, youngest daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. H. T. Stott, of “Lucka,” Baxter, was married to Mr. C. W. Banfield (late A.I.F.), of Marybor ough.

The bride who was given away by her brother, Mr. Val. Stott, wore a very dainty dress of grey crepe de chene, trimmed with henna, and hat to match.

Her bridesmaid, Miss V. Banfield, sister of the bridegroom, wore a dress of cream crepe de chene, with hat to match.

The bridegroom was supported by Mr. D. Anderson, as best man.

After the ceremony the guests were entertained at a wedding tea by Mrs. Anderson, aunt of the bridegroom. Mr. and Mrs. Banfield left by motor for Ballarat, where they will reside.

SEVERAL deserving cases for char ity have recently been brought under notice in Frankston.

Although assistance has been forthcoming from individual sources no organised effort has been made to render adequate relief.

With the idea of giving a start to what may later develop into a more comprehensive effort, Mr. Ray Cox all is advertising a benefit dance to take place in the Frankston Hall on Thursday night, 16th inst.

Music will be supplied by the Tasma orchestra and a good night’s amusement is assured.

The proceeds will be handed to Mr. E. Barrett for distribution.

***

THE Church of England Girls’ Club last Thursday night gave a very fair display of physical culture and gym nastics in the Hastings Hall.

Under the able training of Miss D. Young of Tyabb, the girls have made splendid progress since the last dis play given some twelve months ago.

During the evening Miss Young was presented with a handsome xy lonite brush and comb and mirror.

Rev. Alfred Craig, the Vicar, made the presentation on behalf of the club.

Mr. Day, from Melbourne, gave a very clever series of conjuring tricks, thoroughly mystifying his audience and certainly amusing them.

The proceeds, which are most gratifying, are to help to endow, in the name of the club, a cot in the Austin Hospital.

***

A START was made this week with

the erection of the new Picture The atre in Playne Street, Frankston.

A small army of workmen is employed taking out excavations for the foundations–a task rendered very difficult owing to the wet nature of the land.

The building which is to be con structed of brick, has already been described in the columns of “The Standard.”

***

A SWEEPSTAKE will be shot off to morrow (Saturday) afternoon by the members of the Frankston Gun Club on the grounds at Mr. O’Grady’s.

***

STARTING from next Sunday night, the Methodist Church and the Church of England will commence their services at 7.30 instead, of 7 p.m. as hitherto.

The same applies to the Presbyte rian service at Somerville.

***

ARRANGEMENTS in connection with the formation of a Brass Band at Carrum are proceeding satisfacto rily, and it is probable that next week will see the movement an accom plished fact.

At a meeting of those interested held on Wednesday evening last, a big Step forward was taken, and a preliminary practice arranged for.

All intending members are invited to communicate with Mr. E. Hawk ing, who is anxious to enrol volun teers without further loss of time.

TAKES THE PENINSULA

THIS November, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery together with Deakin University’s Public Art Commission will present Front Beach, Back Beach (FBBB) at fifteen different locations across the Peninsula.

Designed as a road-trip for art lovers, FBBB will feature the work of eighteen local and national artists and collectives who have been invited to respond to key sites, stories and communities which have shaped this unique region of Victoria.

Flinders-based artist Vera Möller’s 'Submarine Gardens' is on display at Flinders Pier from November 4th to November 27th.

So much that makes the submarine ecosystem so rich at Flinders Pier remains hidden for most visitors. With Möller’s ‘Submarine Gardens’, she hopes to make the invisible visible.

"By commissioning two local divers, Myra Kelly and Paolo Bottari, to take underwater photos of the area under the pier, I wanted make visible to visitors the beauty and complexity of the ‘Submarine Gardens’ that exist directly under the pier."

After training as a biologist in Germany, Möller migrated to Australia in 1986. She later completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts and a PhD at Monash University. Her work has been exhibited in the USA, Japan, Finland, France, Germany and the UK, as well as throughout Australia.

She spent two decades working in the fields of Microbiology and Limnology (Freshwater Ecology) before turning her attention to art where she discovers and creates new ecosystems.

Her previous projects focused on the marine environments of the Great Barrier Reef and here along the Victorian coast, in Port Phillip and Western Port Bays.

Now, she's looking to her own backyard at Flinders.

"I hope my project attracts attention to some of the special underwater spaces and creatures that can be found not just around Flinders but also countless other areas along the coast of the Mornington Peninsula. This larger area continues to be of great significance to the Bunurong people."

Working across diverse mediums, Möller creates art that imagines a meeting between real and other-worldly ecosystems.

"On the wooden pylons, under the waterline at end of the pier, grow wonderfully complex and very beautiful ‘Submarine Garden’, as I refer to them. These are made up of a dizzying array of seaweed, sponges, algae and many other interesting species."

The fictional environments she creates in response are home to hybrid zoological and botanical specimens, and borrows from familiar and natural terrains to make totally new worlds.

"My past training as a biologist has contributed to my ever increasing fascination with this coast and its extraordinary beauty and richness."

Artist talks with the divers and photographers are happening on Sunday 6th November and Sunday 13th November. For those more adventurous, BYO snorkel and see the underwater gardens for yourself.

CHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS scoreboard

FOR the third week running, rain threatened to ruin a weekend of cricket on the Mornington Peninsula. Despite the bad weather, players re ported to their grounds on Saturday to play at least a few overs.

PROVINCIAL

AN excellent bowling performance secured Red Hill the victory last weekend.

Red Hill batted first on their home deck against Old Peninsula. They set their opponents a target of 141 to score to win the match.

A middle order knock of 32 from Brent Martin proved vital. He dug in after a top order collapse which saw Red Hill lose 5/27.

Old Peninsula struggled to make an impact with the bat. They ended up bowled out for just 99.

Martin impressed with the ball as well. He posted his side’s best figures of the match - 2/11 off seven overs.

All other matches in the Provincial division ended up abandoned due to bad weather on Sat urday.

PENINSULA

A STUNNING knock from opener Kierran Voe lkl was the difference between Dromana and Heatherhill last Saturday.

Voelkl was awesome at the crease. He scored an unbeaten 98 for Dromana, helping his side reach a big total of 197.

Arthur McKenzie also contributed for Droma na. He scored 45 before being run out.

Heatherhill’s run chase got off to a disastrous start. They were struggling badly at 5/37 before the middle order steadied things.

Despite a good recovery Heatherhill ended up all out for 173, 25 short of victory. Dale Irving's 3/12 off five overs gave Heatherhill headaches.

The match was the only one completed last weekend in the Peninsula division.

A CENTURY from opener Devlin Webb wasn’t enough for Hastings to get the win against Rose bud on Saturday.

Rosebud was sent in to bat first at Olympic Park, and they proved up to the task. The home side smashed 216 runs, with almost all of their batters making handy contributions.

Liam Collett top scored for Rosebud with a well-taken half century.

Hastings had a lot to do to catch up to their op ponents. Webb was the standout, smashing 109 runs from 121 balls. Unfortunately for him he ran out of partners.

Hastings' middle order collapsed. They were dismissed for scores of 6, 6, 3, 0, 2, and 3 re spectively.

Webb’s efforts were valiant but they weren’t

enough. Hastings ended up all out for 176.

At Kananook Reserve, Carrum was dismantled by Carrum Downs. Carrum was dismissed for just 62, falling 96 runs short of the win.

Crib Point and Main Ridge had their match abandoned. Seaford and Delacombe Park were able to play plenty of cricket, but the match was eventually called a draw.

DEVON Meadows has secured the signature of ex-AFL ruckman Paddy Ryder.

The MPNFL club made the huge announce ment last week. 34-year-old Ryder retired from the AFL this year after 281 games across three clubs.

Ryder started his career at Essendon before moving to Port Adelaide in the wake of the

club’s drug scandal. He played his final sea sons at St Kilda, and made a big impact.

Ryder was named in the AFL’s All-Austral ian squad in 2017. He was the ANZAC Day medalist in 2009.

In a statement on Facebook, the club said it was “thrilled” to have signed Ryder. “We welcome Paddy and his three children Liliana, Harlan, and Sage to the Panther family,” the club said.

Delaney, Strikers eye title tilt

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

A CRASH course in coping with senior football this year bodes well for Peninsula Strikers’ assault on the 2023 State 2 South-East champion ship.

That’s the belief of Strikers’ defen sive midfielder Calvin Delaney.

The 20-year-old (he turns 21 on 30 November) was part of a major squad makeover overseen by his father and senior coach Donn during last preseason and early signs drew derisive commentary from many onlookers.

“Of course we heard the criticism but it was way too harsh,” Calvin De laney said.

“Anyway we were too excited about the season and we didn’t care about the negativity.

“A lot of us were playing our first year of senior football so we just had to get used to it.

“We were being judged after liter ally our first game together so it didn’t make sense for people to be so mean.

“We just trained hard and we were able to shut out that noise.

“We liked each other and we wanted to show that we could play quick foot ball and we did.”

Quick yes. And skilful and effec tive. So much so that Strikers topped the table for much of the season only faltering in the back half of a stunning campaign.

“I don’t even know why that hap pened and we didn’t really figure it out to be honest.

“I don’t think we can blame it on injuries and I didn’t notice any differ ence in the way we were playing.

“It was just five or 10 minutes where we would lose it and that really was the difference.”

It definitely wasn’t a fitness issue.

Strength and conditioning coach Kosta Drakoulakos had seen to that and right now the senior squad is working with him in preparation for next season.

“We do a two-hour team session in his gym every Saturday morning then it’s up to the individual about (gym) sessions through the week – I try and do Mondays and Wednesdays.”

New players have been brought in –Campbell Steedman, Steve Elliott and Jamie Davidson from Mornington –and have seamlessly assimilated into the playing group.

“The new players are already in volved and you can tell we like them – it’s really good team bonding.”

Delaney is confident that the speed hump Strikers struck on the promo tion trail this season won’t be repeat

ed next season.

“I’m honestly really excited about next season,” he said.

“We can only improve as last season was our first together and we’re young so we’ll only get stronger physically and we’ll read the game better.

“We’ve already talked about going to the next league (State 1) and I don’t see why we can’t.

“I would love it if we won the league and that’s what we’re hoping to achieve.

“And there’s going to be more der bies next season (with Skye United and Frankston Pines in State 2).

“I’m really looking forward to those games.

“I love the tough games – it makes it so much better when you win them.”

In other news Lawton Park will again be the venue for the annual Steve Wallace Cup and Saturday 21 January has been pencilled in for the 2023 version of the event.

Steve Wallace was a Langwarrin

life-member and former club presi dent, committeeman, coach, player and Bayside League referee.

He died on 19 July 2011 at the age of 54.

This year’s Cup was hit by COV ID-19 and forced to change to one-off 90-minute games but will revert to its traditional two-group round-robin format with the top two teams in each group advancing to the semi-finals.

“I’m hoping to kick-off later in the afternoon and run a twilight session from 3pm to around 7pm,” tourna ment organiser Tanya Wallace said.

“I’m also keen to showcase a wom en’s NPL game featuring Southern United with a junior boys NPL game between Langwarrin and Mornington as a curtain raiser.”

Long-serving Southern United coach Emma Bracken is assisting Wallace in arranging the women’s game and Bayside United has been mentioned as a possible opponent.

So far Langwarrin, Mornington,

Seaford United is expected to make a decision about competing at a later date.

Meanwhile former Seaford Unit ed, Bentleigh Greens, Langwarrin and Frankston Pines coach Kevin

“Squizzy” Taylor is the new senior assistant at recently promoted NPL3 club Beaumaris.

Taylor resigned as Pines head coach in August and joined Baxter’s coach ing group over a fortnight ago.

“I’ll still work as a mentor to the coaches at Baxter because ‘Beauy’ is Mondays and Wednesdays,” Taylor said.

For Beaumaris senior coach Dave Gibson it’s a case of fourth time lucky.

“I know ‘Gibbo’ well – that’s why I went there,” Taylor added.

“The assistant he had last year

couldn’t recommit and ‘Gibbo’ asked if I was interested so I went and spoke and everything’s sorted.

“He’d approached me three times before but the circumstances were different.”

Taylor knows some of the current Beaumaris senior squad who came through the NPL junior system and he will talk to Gibson about possible recruiting targets.

“They’re very happy with the squad they’ve got so it’ll just be a matter of whether we can improve that squad.”

One player certain to be on the ‘Beauy’ radar is talented Fijian mid fielder Thomas Dunn who joined Frankston Pines last January but Tay lor was non-committal when ques tioned about his interest in signing the 19-year-old.

“We’ll just have to wait and see but I know Tommy is keen to play at a higher level,” he said.

Peninsula Strikers, Skye United, Frankston Pines, Baxter, Somerville Eagles, Mount Martha and Rosebud have signed up for January’s tourna ment.
