Among the award winners on the day were Evelyn Townley, Gwyn Nichols, Kerrie Waworis, Dr Carolyn Beaumont, and Dr Kate Robb (pictured left with Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns).

AFTER hearing from nearly 70 abuse victims, the board of inquiry into historical child sexual abuse in Beaumaris Primary School and certain other government schools has published its final report.
In June last year, an inquiry into historical sexual abuse committed at Beaumaris Primary School and other schools where the alleged perpetra-
tors worked was set up. The inquiry’s report was handed down in late February and has now been made public.
Over the course of the inquiry, 68 victims came forward. More than 120 people in total spoke to the inquiry, including secondary victims and affected community members.
The inquiry focused on allegations against four people employed by Beaumaris Primary School between 1971 and 1972 - Graham Steele, Darrell Ray, David MacGregor, and a person who cannot be named for
legal reasons. The inquiry also heard allegations against two other employees.
At the recommendation of the board, a formal apology to students sexually abused at Beaumaris Primary School and other government schools between 1960 and 1994 is expected to be delivered later this year.
The inquiry’s report made nine recommendations in total, which included a formal apology, a memorial, the establishment of a statewide
“truth-telling and accountability process” for victims of sexual abuse in Victorian government schools, the development of an online assistance and information hub for victims, and legislative change to ensure information provided to a board of inquiry is kept confidential for at least 99 years.
The 466-page inquiry report read that the Victorian Department of Education’s response at the time of the offending was “wholly inadequate”.
In October last year, the inquiry confirmed that 24 schools would
be included in the scope of the investigation. They included Chelsea Heights Primary School, Cowes Primary School, Drouin South Primary School, Kunyung Primary School, Warragul Primary School, and the closed Bundalong South Primary School.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has addressed the board’s findings. She says a formal apology will be developed, and that the other recommendations will be considered.

AMY Salisbury and Nimita Bagadia are the joint winners of the 2024 Kingston woman of the year award.
Salisbury was recognised for founding the Mordi Sea Dippers, a coldwater therapy community group. Bagadia, a Telstra employee, has been recognised for her efforts to address gender biases. She delivers mentorship programs and speeches on her
work.
The award winners were presented with certificates at an International Women’s Day event on 8 March.
Kingston deputy mayor Tracey Davies said the nominees for the sixth Kingston Women of the Year Awards “are all leaders in their field, who inspire others through their exceptional achievements”. Kingston
councillor Tamsin Bearsley said “the awards ceremony is always a great opportunity to meet new people and feel empowered in a really positive environment.”
Other award categories were also handed out at the event. The winners included Evelyn Townley, Gwyn Nichols, Kerrie Waworis, Dr Carolyn Beaumont, and Dr Kate Robb.

“We will continue to engage with victim-survivors who came forward to the board of inquiry when considering implementation of the government’s response, as well as the development of a formal apology to victim-survivors of abuse at Beaumaris Primary School and across Victorian government schools later this year,” Allan said. “When the Victorian Government established the board of inquiry into historical child sexual abuse at Beaumaris Primary School and certain other government schools, we wanted to give Victorians who were profoundly let down by the school system in decades past the opportunity to have their voices and experiences heard. More than 120 victim-survivors, secondary victims, affected community members and stakeholders came forward, placed their trust in the process and shared their experiences.
“Victim-survivors told of the lifelong and devastating impacts the abuse had on their mental health, education, employment outcomes, and relationships. Friends, families, and communities shared their own experiences and the impacts that the abuse had on their ability to care for their loved ones, their own mental health and wellbeing. Carrying these stories is a heavy burden, and while I know it won’t undo the pain, I hope that in sharing their experience, that it has given victim-survivors at Beaumaris Primary and certain other government schools the recognition
and support they deserve.”
Legal firm Slater and Gordon confirmed on Friday that it is considering a class action lawsuit against the state government on behalf of the abuse survivors. Slater and Gordon Victorian abuse law practice leader Sam Carroll said “it was clear the Victorian government did not have any processes in place to adequately respond to sexual abuse in government schools or to protect the safety of children. It is our preliminary view that these failures may give rise to a potential claim for those affected by abuse at Victorian government schools during this time.”
“Slater and Gordon is considering the best way to assist those affected by these findings to obtain the compensation they deserve,” Carroll said.
The board of inquiry was chaired by Kathleen Foley SC. To read the inquiry’s full report visit beaumarisinquiry.vic.gov.au
CHARGES have been laid against a building company after the 2022 death of an employee working in Cheltenham.
In February 2022, a 69-year-old man working on commercial units fell and died. WorkSafe alleges he fell while descending from the mezzanine level via an unsecured ladder.
Minoan Constructions Pty Ltd has been charged under section 26(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for failing to ensure a workplace under its management or control was safe and without risks to health.
A court date was set for 8 March at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
and 3 March.
Three teenage boys were arrested in Dandenong
a 15-yearold Doveton boy was charged with
burglary, theft from shop,
criminal damage, robbery, burglary, armed robbery, theft of motor vehicle, and possess cannabis, and a 13-yearold Noble Park boy was charged with aggravated burglary, criminal damage, burglary, armed robbery, attempted aggravated burglary, and theft of motor vehicle.
The arrested trio were all bailed to appear at a Children’s Court at a later date.
PROPERTY developer Satterley has declared its intentions for the former Kingswood golf course site in Dingley Village.
Satterley Property Group announced it had purchased the site from AustralianSuper last Monday, 4 March. The Australian Financial Review reported that the deal was worth up to $220 million.
Satterley chief executive Nigel Satterley says that the land will be used to build a “diverse” range of housing. He said the final project will feature “extensive open space, mature landscaping, and family parks for both existing and future residents to enjoy, all within a short stroll of the established amenity in Dingley Village.”
“The provision of a variety of lot sizes within the project will appeal to a diverse purchaser profile, including downsizers into more suitable housing, local upgraders, first home buyers through lower priced townhouse product and younger families with larger housing on smaller blocks with ready access to immaculately landscaped open spaces,” Satterley said.
AustralianSuper purchased the site at 179-217 Centre Dandenong Road in 2014 for around $125 million. Its head of real assets Nik Kemp said the site was sold as it “no longer aligned to the organisation’s property strategy and future investment approach.”
“The former Kingswood Golf Course site ticks all the boxes in terms of development potential,” Kemp said. “Set in a key growth corridor within the middle-ring of Melbourne the site offers enormous opportunity to deliver much-needed housing stock and social infrastructure that will benefit the community for decades to come.”
AustralianSuper planned to build around 800 dwellings on the site. It announced plans to sell it late last year, shortly before Victorian planning minister Sonya Kilkenny announced it would be rezoned for residential development. AustralianSuper’s original development plans for the site received more than 8000 community objections (“Golf course rezoning disappointment” The News 27/9/23).

Visitors are encouraged to get there before 1pm, see the boats on the beach and enjoy food and beverages available at the club,” he said.
To enquire about Chelsea Yacht Club memberships contact the club manager on 0493 187 792 or manager@chelseayachtclub.com.au
OWNING a horse can be a life-changing experience for many owners. However, it’s vital to remember these animals require a big commitment of time and money. Horse owners must devote time every day to feeding, grooming and cleaning their animals. Horses require regular visits from equine dentists and farriers, access to adequate food, water, and shelter and vet treatment.
Each year, RSPCA Victoria’s Inspectors investigate thousands of animal welfare reports involving horses across the state to ensure they are provided with the appropriate care requirements. Sometimes they may end up in the care of RSPCA Victoria if their owner cannot provide the proper care.
every
and pony
arrives in their care receives all the essential care the animal needs. Horses begin general handling training and have an individualised health and fitness plan developed.
If you are planning to purchase a horse, RSPCA Victoria recommends adopting from a reputable animal welfare organisation, with knowledgeable equine staff. RSPCA Victoria’s expert team can help match you with the perfect horse or pony to suit your experience, property, and lifestyle.
Interested adoptees can submit an online application, arrange a meet and greet, and learn more about giving a horse or pony a new home at rspcavic.org/adopt-a-pet/.

It’s like nothing we’ve seen before. Unique is one way to describe tonight’s uplifting, inspiring build, which is buoyed by the sunny disposition of its owner and architect Tessa Kingsbury who is giving an old Sunday school in small-town Dunedin a different lease on life.
Host Tom Webster (pictured) has seen his fair share of special homes, but this one gives him a little twinkle in his eyes as he eagerly surveys Tessa’s grand ideas and the heritage building’s progress.
After a seven-year wait, the third and final season of this supreme crime thriller lands on free-to-air. Featuring a fascinatingly ordinary protagonist in Yorkshire policewoman Catherine Cawood (played by Sarah Lancashire, pictured), this is a masterclass in character-led drama. In this thrilling conclusion, it’s seven years later in Cawood’s chaotic life too, with her grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) now 16. In a fulfilling twist, a gangland crime leads Catherine to Ryan’s locked-up father (James Norton).

This fun, unapologetically nostalgic addition to the much-loved ’80s franchise is directed by Jason Reitman, the son of original director Ivan. Single mother Callie (Carrie Coon) and her teenage children Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace, pictured) relocate to the scary Oklahoma farm they inherited from their grandfather Egon Spengler (late Ghostbusters star Harold Ramis), uncovering a new ghostly threat. Grace is a standout new star with some hilarious lines, and Paul Rudd is winsome as Phoebe’s curious science teacher.

Irish comedian Ardal O’Hanlon whips off any rose-coloured glasses for this very engaging and witty tour of his homeland. The Father Ted and Death in Paradise star is an impeccably playful presenter in this three-part sojourn, airing in full tonight. He employs the dubious wisdom of the 1840’s book Ireland, its Scenery, Character, own question: ”Are we really a bunch of fearing, whisky-sodden chancers?” Airing for the first time on freeto-air, tune in for this affectionate and fun travelogue in which O’Hanlon nimbly explores everything from religion to storytelling in some of Ireland’s under-

Soon after Labor’s Jodie Belyea was declared the winner in the Saturday 2 March Dunkley byelection, the Liberal MP for Flinders Zoe McKenzie congratulated her and posted a picture of the two of them smiling together.
Zoe said she “looked forward to working with Jodie”. It was a classy act of generosity towards an opponent and in today’s cut and thrust politics, an admirable gesture.
The same, however, cannot be said for Ms McKenzie’s colleagues.
They have reacted much as one would expect from a bunch of boorish, born-to-rule dullards.
They said that “we are at war with Labor” and that Ms McKenzie’s behaviour had “floored” them, it was “unforgivable” and “an act of absolute naivety” that had created “palpable anger in the ranks”.
What it showed me is that there is no bar too low for the Liberals to get under and what it shows the people of the Mornington Peninsula is that the Liberals are acting like a bunch of spoiled schoolchildren who need to grow up before they can ever be considered as suitable to govern our nation.
RossI have been suspended from a Facebook group because I attempted to “friend” other members of the group with similar nonpolitical views to me. The group supposedly is a forum representing ratepayers and residents but appears to be a front for a political party and plays the man when contributors disagree with the political views of the moderators.
I am concerned at the management of Mornington Peninsula Shire by our elected representatives and some of its employees whose wages ratepayers pay.
There have been numerous letters to the editor in recent times expressing dissatisfaction with a variety of issues impacting ratepayers, residents and visitors with many unhappy with the management of the issues by the shire.
A group that purports to be a forum for discussion for ratepayers and residents should not be used to promote a particular political party or candidate.
It is my opinion that the politicising of our council has now reached an unacceptable level. The use of the term dumb and dumber is still very relevant. Our shire council appears to be unwinding.
Alan Hunt, the late father of the previous MP for Flinders Greg Hunt conducted an inquiry into the Shire of Strathfeldsaye council and, as a result of his findings about “allegations”, on 20 July 1994 the council was suspended on the grounds that it was divided and unworkable and councillors were voting as a block.
From my observation of events of the past few months and years, I wonder if have we past this threshold on the Mornington Peninsula.
I’m sorry that you cannot agree with me on the ratepayers forum as I have been suspended.

The dumbest thing our Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has done yet was the recent weekend free green waste dump over three days, without telling anyone. How were we to know?
Usually, these free days are the most popular events of the year with cars and trailers queuing up all day, each day.
This time, the road barricades were up to control the traffic, with a sign “roadworks ahead”, but not a mention of green waste. Thinking maybe, I drove down (twice) and sure enough
there was a small crew doing some roadside work but no, there were no cars with trailers of green waste anywhere. Nobody knew. I have a trailer of saved green waste plus a small tree to cut down and I was waiting for the usual notification in The News, having scanned the pages for many weeks, but nothing this time.
Thanks for nothing, council.
Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington“Why have a code of conduct when it is disregarded?” is a quote that questions the importance of such a code. Local government is the first tier of all governments and is closest to the public. Therefore, meeting with various groups without travelling from state to state and living a reasonably normal existence is easier. However, the code of conduct is essential if true governance is to be exerted.
Established procedures, policies, and practices are part of the council. That conduct must not discredit the council or mislead the public or the council in any matter related to their public duties. Each code of conduct per level of government aims to establish certain standards that all, in this case councillors, must follow while performing their duties and functions.
One section applies to all government tiers: the code prohibits discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment), and vilification. Unfortunately, it appears to be failing at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.
Anne Kruger, RyeImposing higher rates on ratepayers who choose not to install solar panels is inherently unfair and presents a significant ethical and practical concern (Solar charge ‘unfair’, The News 5/3/24). Ratepayers should not be penalised for personal choices that align with their preferences, circumstances, or beliefs.
Imposing higher rates on non-solar ratepayers creates an unjust burden, punishing individuals for decisions that are entirely within their rights to make. It undermines the fundamental concept
of fairness in taxation, which should be based on the ability to pay rather than compliance with specific lifestyle choices.
Differential rates based on solar panel installation exacerbate socioeconomic disparities within the community. Lower-income households, often unable to afford the upfront costs of installing solar panels, bear the brunt of the financial burden. Penalising these individuals through higher rates perpetuates inequality and further marginalises already vulnerable residents. It creates a system where those with financial means benefit disproportionately, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
Residents may have valid reasons for not installing solar panels, such as rental agreements, structural limitations, or personal preferences. By imposing financial penalties on these individuals, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council would effectively coerce conformity to a particular lifestyle choice, disregarding the diversity of circumstances and preferences within the community.
Differential rates based on solar panel installation pose administrative challenges and complexities. Moreover, such mandated policies may face legal challenges related to equity, discrimination and property rights.
The imposition of higher rates on non-solar ratepayers by the council is fundamentally unjust and ethically problematic.
Instead of penalising residents for personal choices council should focus on promoting renewable energy. By fostering a collaborative approach and engaging stakeholders in decisionmaking processes, the council could achieve meaningful progress towards a sustainable and equitable future for all of us.
Arthur Booth, Mount MarthaIn recent years, major sporting ground facility upgrades have taken place at Rosebud, Pearcedale, Citation Reserve, Mornington and Balnarring. When are the passionate Dromana players and supporters going to be rewarded? Has the ball been dropped somewhere along the way?

IT is with deepest regret we learn that ex-Councillor C. Murray, of Somerville, passed away on Thursday morning, at “Marrinook” private hospital, East Melbourne, where he has been hovering between life and death for some time.
We feel that we are expressing the feelings of all residents of the shire who were acquainted with the deceased gentleman, when we say how deep the feelings of regret will be.
The late Charles Murray, who had been a member of the Shire Council almost continuously since 1904, was a man who did not intrude himself unnecessarily on the Council by making long speeches.
He always had something to say which meant work being done, hence his motions were always listened to with interest, and invariably carried.
During his term in the Council he caused many improvements to be made through the Riding he represented. In 1910 he was instrumental in getting an office for the Shire erected at Somerville.
He was also able to get various lengths of Bungower and Eramosa roads metalled.
In 1900 Cr. Murray was elected President, and again in 1912, and during his term of office the newly regraded Oliver’s Hill was opened, in January, 1918.
Mr Murray was returned unopposed on a number of occasions. In 1922 Cr. Murray resigned from the Council, and since then has been secretary of the Somerville Cool Stores. He was a man possessed of a
wonderful memory, and with regard to mental calculations it would have been hard to find his equal. As a matter of fact, it amounted to a gift.
The deceased gentleman, who was 64 years of age, and leaves behind a widow and five sons and four daughters to mourn their loss, will be buried in the Frankston Cemetery on Saturday, March 15, at 2.30pm.
The Shire Secretary, Mr J. E. Jones has notified all Councillors of the funeral, requesting them to be in attendance.

THE electors of that Flinders Electorate must feel both pleased and proud at the triumphant return of their member, the Hon. S. M. Bruce.
Successful in every way, he returns to his native land – a credit to his country, his people, and himself.
When one considers the rapid rise, to fame of Mr. Bruce, it must be conceded that he must be possessed of some wonderful power to have thus reached the top of the tree in so short a space of time.
If one searches through the history of the world, of any Parliament, in any country, they will fail to find any case on a par with the one in question.
Let them search the records of the House of Commons, the House of Representatives of the United States; or the Parliamentary records of any of the continental countries, and nowhere will they find any member who has made such a meteorical flight as that made by the member for Flinders.
THE Frankston Fire Brigade are still keeping their end up. In the six-men event they were well up, securing first
water. However, in the next event they were beaten, being second with the showing of water.
This speaks well of our boys, when it is remembered the strong team they were up against, i.e., Kyneton. ***
AN employee of Mr. Barrett, builder and contractor, had an exciting experience the other evening.
He was camping in a tent at Mornington, and had gone, to bed, when he suddenly realised that his tent was on fire.
He made a hurried exit, in scanty attire, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the camp was demolished.
It is presumed that a lighted candle was the cause of the fire. The owner lost all his possessions, including clothing, blankets, and kit of tools. ***
Frankston High School Parents

There was a large attendance of parents and guardians of children attending the Frankston High School on Monday night.
Mr. R. E. Chapman, head master, presided and explained that the object of the meeting was to select three representatives to act on the High School Council.

Mr. ALAN CORLETT
Mr. W. M. HANTON

Mr. W. C. YOUNG
A ballot was then taken, Messrs. L. Harrison and Bert. Hay acting as scrutineers.
The result of the election was awaited with keen interest, and at the conclusion of the counting, Mr. Chapman declared the following candidates elected:
Cr. J. BRADBURY ...... 30
Mr. W. C. YOUNG...... ..27
Mrs. W. M. HANTON .. ... 19
Cr. Bradbury, in returning thanks, said he felt he had been greatly honored, and he would exert all his energies in attending to the welfare of the school.
He referred to the fine work done by Mr. L. J. Ward, both prior to and since the school was established. It was unfortunate that Mr. Ward, is his absence, from the meeting, had not forwarded his written consent to stand for the committee, as required by the regulations.
Mr. W. C. Young also thanked people for the honor they had conferred on him in electing him to the High School Council. He was pleased to hear Mr. Bradbury’s reference to Mr. Ward, who had worked harder than anyone else to secure the High School. Mr. Ward should be on the committee. (Hear, hear.)
Mrs. Hanton briefly returned thanks. ***

PROVINCIAL
RED Hill picked up a thrilling win over Langwarrin to finish their homeand-away season on a high last Saturday.
Langwarrin batted first on their home deck. They had to battle through a nightmare opening session - the Kangaroos lost 5/34 at the start of their innings. Red Hill’s Glenn Collett ran riot on the top order.
A late knock of 44 from 29 deliveries by Leigh Paterson helped Langwarrin put a respectable total on the board. They ended up all out for 147.
Red Hill suffered a similar fate early in their innings too, losing both openers for ducks off the bowling of Trav Campbell. First drop batter Simon Dart steadied things with a patient half-century.
Red Hill hit the winning runs in the final over of play with just two wickets left to spare. Andy Restein finished the job.
Sorrento closed out their home-andaway season with a 37-run win over Baden Powell. Pines and Heatherhill grinded out wins over Old Peninsula and Long Island respectively.
PENINSULA
A BRILLIANT century from Mitchell Goddard helped Mornington pick up a hard-fought win over Baxter last weekend.
Mornington batted first at Baxter Park. After losing both openers for small totals, Josh Small and Mitchell Goddard
combined for a big partnership. Goddard starred with an unbeaten 110 runs from 98 deliveries. Hayden Cummings also played a big role with the bat - he came in at the end of the innings and hit 48 runs from 22 balls.
Baxter did their best to keep touch, but fell 68 runs short. They ended their innings at 6/209.
Bryce McGain was the pick of the
bowlers for Mornington. The Australian Test spinner continued his good form by taking 4/22.
Mt Eliza were comfortable winners over Moorooduc at home last weekend. Rosebud and Dromana beat Seaford Tigers and Somerville respectively.
DISTRICT FLINDERS scored the winning runs against Main Ridge with just two wickets and four balls to spare on Saturday.
Main Ridge set Flinders a target of 194 to score to win. Charlie Nunn was their best performer, hitting an unbeaten 60 from 91 balls.
Flinders chipped away at their tar-
get, but kept losing momentum. Shane Beggs came in at number eight and took charge, scoring 48 from 45 to get his side over the line.
A near-century partnership between Angus Cripps and Bradley Davidson helped Crib Point pick up a big win over Delacombe Park last weekend. At Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum defeated Balnarring in a close one.
A century from Gordon Waterfall was the difference between Carrum Downs and Seaford last weekend. Carrum Downs won by 86 runs.
SKYE’S total of 231 proved more than enough to beat Ballam Park last weekend.
Skye hosted the one day match on Saturday, They chose to bat and put 5/231 on the board. Openers Shabaaz Alam and Pubudu Edirisinghe and number four batter Farhan Hussain all scored half-centuries.
Ballam Park was bowled out for just 127 in reply.
Pearcedale were dominant eightwicket winners over Hastings on Saturday. Rye also did it easy, taking just 18 overs to chase down Boneo’s target of 156. Skipper Nathan Hunt starred with 123 runs at a strike rate of more than 200.
Tyabb bowled well to beat Tootgarook last weekend - the Yabbies sent the home side packing for just 93. Mt Martha picked up a good win over Frankston YCW to close out the round.
FIVE-goal wins for Chelsea and Skye and a come-from-behind victory for Peninsula Strikers highlighted the third round of the Dockerty Cup.
Chelsea eased past Mount Eliza 5-0, Skye thumped Fawkner 6-1 while Strikers beat Lalor United 2-1. At Edithvale Recreation Reserve last Thursday night Chelsea applied early pressure but had to wait until the 29th minute when Daniel Vella was fouled in the box.
Referee Benji Batten pointed to the spot and Adam Bartosy converted.
Two goals in the last five minutes of the half put the contest out of Mount Eliza’s reach.
Teenager Christian Murray’s powerful strike in the 42nd minute beat Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao and two minutes later a Harry Parker throw-in on the left caused confusion in the Mount Eliza box.
Bartosy capitalised by nipping in at the near post and slotting past Armao to make it 3-0.
Murray’s quick turn and neat finish in the 70th minute made it 4-0 and Vella stole the ball from a Mount Eliza defender in the 73rd minute and broke into a one-on-one with Armao before finishing easily.
It was a strong performance from Chelsea who went into the contest without key off-season signings in prolific striker James Stinson and defender Jake Ross who were nursing injuries.
Skye hammered State 4 Fawkner who had steadfastly refused to change the venue, date and kick-off time for this tie despite being offered the chance to switch to various nights at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve.
And when Skye attempted to bring the kick-off forward to a less oppressive part of a scorching Saturday again Fawkner objected this time claiming that player work commitments didn’t make the proposed earlier kick-off feasible.
So at Comets Stadium at 3.30pm with the temperature edging over 36°C and a strong northerly blowing the tie kicked-off.
Skye had only four senior players from last season in its starting lineup and Fawkner shocked its host by opening the scoring through a deflected Kelan Connelly shot from just inside the box in the 15th minute.
However that signalled the start of a barrage of goals from the home side.
An own goal from Fawkner’s Giovanni DiSisto, followed up with strikes from Nhan Than and Mark
O’Connor gave the State 2 outfit a 3-1 lead at the break.
It was more of the same in the second half as substitute Austin Sporys nabbed a brace and O’Connor added a second to comprehensively dump Fawkner out of the national cup competition.
Peninsula Strikers went into their away tie with 10 players in their matchday squad under the age of 23 and one of them, Taylan Geylan, scored the goals that sunk State 2 North-West rival Lalor United.
The home side took the lead in the 35th minute when a cheap turnover was followed by a through ball to Woohyun Nam who finished calmly into the far corner.
Strikers hit back in the 56th minute after a really good press won the ball which was squared to Geylan who slotted home brilliantly past Lalor keeper Vaios Kalogerakis to level.
Another good press led to a 71stminute winner as Riley Anderton forced Kalogerakis to lose possession and Geylan made no mistake by firing into the top corner.
The other local in Cup action, Frankston Pines, lost 3-2 away to Clifton Hill.
Mornington rescheduled its round three tie with Mazenod to Dallas Brooks Park on Thursday evening while Langwarrin enters the competition at the round four stage.
In VPL1 news Langwarrin is now second in the league following its 3-1 win over Melbourne City at Casey Fields on Sunday evening.
City led through Tobenna Obani in the 13th minute but a Dante Avian header 10 minutes later made it 1-1.
In time added in the first half Archie Macphee’s lethal left foot sent Langy in at the break with a 2-1 lead and an own goal from City’s Ryan
Kalms in the 71st minute gave the visitors breathing space.
Langy has taken advantage of its run of six consecutive away games to give the main pitch at its Lawton Park headquarters a makeover.
New topsoil has been laid and the pitch re-sown and it will be ready for the club’s next home match on Saturday 20 April against Melbourne Victory.
In other news Football Victoria last week announced the promotion and relegation criteria for the upcoming season.
The major change is the increase of VPL2 in 2025 from a 12 to a 14-team league to align with NPL and VPL1. This has a flow-on effect on State Leagues resulting in the top two teams in State 1 South-East being promoted to VPL2 while the bottom two teams are relegated.
In State 2 South-East it’s a two-up,
two-down scenario.
State 3 is more complicated.
South Yarra withdrew from State League competition last month leaving State 3 South-East with just 11 teams.
FV chose not to address that situation immediately.
At this stage the champion of State 4 South will gain automatic promotion while the runner-up will take part in play-offs to decide South Yarra’s replacement.
Should the play-off winner come from State 4 South then the thirdplaced side in State 5 South may be involved in a promotion play-off.
Here are the results of last week’s friendlies involving local clubs:
Peninsula Strikers reserves 0 Rosebud 0; Seaford United 1 (Mitch Hawkins) Baxter 3 (Jack Elliott 2, Aleks Dukic); Somerville Eagles 3 (Tom Simmons, Jakob Gurney, Jaden Taberner) Blackburn NewHope 1.
This week’s VPL1 round six fixture:
Friday 15 March: Werribee City v Langwarrin, Galvin Park Reserve, 8.30pm.
Rescheduled Dockerty Cup round 3:
Thursday, 14 March: Mornington v Mazenod, Dallas Brooks Park, 8.15pm.
