Murals making big impression

A GROUP of street artists have finished working on a series of massive murals in Mordialloc.

The artists came to town as part of the Wall to Wall Festival at Mordi Village. They finished their work last Sunday, 28 April.

The murals were painted along Lamana Road and its surrounding areas. Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said “huge crowds took in the large-scale murals” last weekend and “enjoyed a block party, great music, food and drinks, and were generally soaking in the atmosphere.”

“A huge thanks to the visionary team at Juddy Roller for bringing this exciting and provocative festival to Kingston and to everyone who joined us and the incredible energy you brought with you,” Davey-Burns said. Street artists George Rose, Adnate, Smug, Blo, Fred Battle (Zoer), Justine McAllister, Filthy Ratbag, Tommy Day, Drez, and Kyle Brightside took part in the festival. Their work will be shown off during future street art tours. Picture: Supplied

Rail loop plans on show

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

DEVELOPMENTS up to 18-storeys

tall may be allowed in the area surrounding the planned suburban rail loop station in Cheltenham.

The SRL has been given authority to draft new planning guidelines for the precincts surrounding SRL stations.

The precincts are roughly equivalent to the 1.6 kilometre area around the stations.

Last week, the state government

The Frankston line will link to the suburban rail loop at Cheltenham. The new station, walking distance from the existing Southland Station, will be the first in the rail loop.

released its plans for the first SRL precincts. The plans show proposed height limits of up to 18 storeys near the new Cheltenham SRL Station.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said that planning changes were needed to accommodate the state’s growing population. “Melbourne is growing fast and with the suburban rail loop we’re making room for thousands of

new homes in the right places – close to transport, jobs and services,” she said.

Suburban rail loop minister Danny Pearson said “we’ve taken on board years of community feedback and this is just the next step in a detailed and proper planning process that involves locals every step of the way.” Towers of up to 40 storeys could

be approved in Box Hill under the SRL’s plan. The state opposition has slammed the proposal - transport infrastructure shadow minister David Southwick said “the suburban rail loop was poorly planned and never properly scrutinised, leaving it with a $21 billion funding shortfall on the first stage alone.”

Planning changes progressing

Continued from page 1

“Now that even the federal Labor government has walked away from the SRL money pit, the Allan Labor government are trying to jam 40-storey towers into residents’ backyards to make up for their mismanagement,” Southwick said. The Albanese federal government has so far put in $2.2 billion for the project. Victorian shadow planning minister

James Newbury has urged local governments to advocate against the planned changes. “Communities and councils who oppose the Allan Labor government destroying their amenity need to stand up and use their voices before it is too late,” he said.

SRL East, the first section of the planned rail loop, will link the Frankston line at Cheltenham to the Lilydale line at

Box Hill via six new underground stations. It is scheduled to be completed in 2035, and is expected to cost upwards of $30 billion.

A planning scheme amendment will still need to be approved before the proposed changes are applied. The final plans are expected to be exhibited at the end of the year. To view the SRL plans visit srleastvisions.com.au

AVEO revamps two Bayside retirement communities

LEADING retirement living provider Aveo is transforming two of its bayside communities as it embarks on a major refurbishment program to create state-of-the-art facilities and larger, more luxurious apartments.

As early work approaches completion at Concierge Bayside in Hampton, a rejuvenated community centre has been unveiled with stylish new spaces where residents can relax, connect with friends or host family gatherings.

Further refurbishments to the communal areas will include a residents’ café and a bar, theatrette and wellness centre. A selection of luxuriously upgraded one and two-bedroom apartments are available for immediate occupancy.

Aveo’s second bayside community, The George in Sandringham, will soon undergo extensive renovations including a stunning foyer and reception area, and new communal facilities including a café, media room, and revamped library.

In addition, high-end features and finishes will complete a new collection of larger two-bedroom apartments, with works due for completion by late 2024.

Sales Manager Danielle Pendergast said both communities were located within prestigious beachside suburbs close to major shopping centres, restaurants, parks, medical facilities and public transport.

“These vibrant communities provide quality independent living where residents can be as involved in the busy social calendars as much as they desire,’’ Ms Pendergast said. “It’s all about choice.

“Retirees who seek to downsize from their high maintenance family homes to more suitable living within communities with a real sense of belonging love what The George and Concierge Bayside offer.

“Many of our residents have lived on the bayside for many years and wish to stay, while others have moved to the area to be closer to family.

“Both communities provide residents with tailored domestic and care services if required and 24/7 emergency call system, making them the perfect place to call home.’’

Concierge Bayside is located at 562 Bluff Road, Hampton, with prices ranging $445,00-$990,000, while The George at 15-25 George Street, Sandringham, prices range from $430,00 to $950,000.

Mordialloc LSC’s Samantha Barrow won gold in the 45-49 beach flags and silver in the 45-49 female beach sprint.

New health facilities open

THE Better Health Network in Parkdale has received a $2.6 million upgrade.

The Parkdale site hosts specialist medical services, dental and allied health, nursing and counselling services, aged care support, and disability services. The new facilities at the notfor-profit are now open.

The money was used to build new multi-use rooms for primary care therapies and treatment, a new reception area, telehealth-enabled consult and treatment rooms, and a self-service kitchen. An outdoor space for garden therapy and sensory programs has also been refurbished.

The project was undertaken by the state gov-

ernment, which allocated taxpayer money towards it through its “Metropolitan Health Infrastructure Fund”. Health infrastructure minister Mary-Anne Thomas said “this upgraded facility will support the hardworking staff at Better Health Network to continue providing high quality care closer to home, while also improving the health and wellbeing of the local clients.”

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “a new and improved facility will ensure more locals can access the care and support they need, while also providing staff with a modern and efficient working environment.”

Councillor set for party role - report

VETERAN Kingston councillor Steve Staikos is reportedly set to be appointed to oversee the Victorian Labor party.

Last week, The Australian reported that Staikos will soon be named the Victorian Labor Party’s state secretary. Staikos’ name has been linked to the job since last year.

Steve Staikos has been a councillor for more than 15 years - he was first elected to Kingston Council in 2008. During that time he has been appointed mayor four times, most recently between 2020 and 2022.

Crossing roads closed

ROADS will be closed around the level crossings in Warrigal Road in Mentone and Parkers Road in Parkdale this month while works take place to remove the crossings.

Concrete beams are set to be installed over the next two months. Works previously planned for April have moved to May and June.

The Warrigal Road level crossing will close from 7 May to 10 May, then again for three days in mid-June. The Parkers Road crossing closes between 13 and 17 May, and then for three days in late June.

The state government plans to make the Frankston line level crossing-free by 2029.

Family law reformed

CHANGES to parenting arrangements made through the legal system are set to come into effect next month.

From 6 May, reforms to family law will begin to be applied in the courts. Among the

changes are a greater focus on child safety and the abolition of the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility. The reforms will also see prior family violence orders taken into greater consideration during the parenting arrangement process.

The Peninsula Community Legal Centre is a free legal service in Frankston, which includes family law within its services. PCLC CEO Jackie Galloway said “court data shows that in 2021 – 2022 family violence was alleged in 80 percent of matters filed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. 66 percent involved risk factors such as family violence, child abuse, mental health issues or drug, alcohol or substance abuse putting a child at risk. While issues of risk have long been considered, previously the language of “safety” was not used in the Family Law Act when it came to decisions about parenting.”

The PCLC deals with family law more than any other area of law. To contact the PCLC visit pclc.org.au or phone 9783 3600.

Trial for drug treatment

NEARLY 30 people died from drug use in the Frankston municipality between 2020 and 2021, a newly released report has found.

Last week, the state government finally released a report into a proposed medically supervised injecting service in the City of Melbourne. The report, undertaken by former Victoria Police commissioner Ken Lay, was handed to the state government in May 2023.

The final report recommended establishing an injecting facility in the City of Melbourne. The state government has ignored that recommendation.

Although the state government has rejected the Melbourne injecting room proposal, it has committed to spending more money on pharmacotherapy treatment.

The state government has announced it will spend $8.4 million on pharmacotherapy treatment in up to 30 locations statewide through a new grant program. It has also committed to trialling the rollout of 20 Naloxone vending machines.

Men arrested after crash

TWO men have been arrested after an alleged theft, assault, and car chase through Carrum Downs and Frankston last week.

Police allege that a group of people inside a stolen Mini Cooper stole petrol from McMahons Road in Frankston at around 10.30pm on 25 April. The group were involved in a theft and assault at a restaurant on Hall Road in Carrum Downs about half an hour later, police say.

Police say they spotted the car in Frankston at around midnight. They deployed stop sticks, but the car managed to evade them and drive onto Karingal Road.

The Mini Cooper allegedly drove on the wrong side of Karingal Road while police chased. Short-

ly afterwards it allegedly crashed head-on with a Hyundai sedan on Cranbourne-Frankston Road. A 23-year-old Frankston man and a 24-year-old Morwell man were arrested at around 12.30am. The Hyundai driver was taken to hospital.

THE aftermath of a car

Police patrol roads

NEARLY 7000 traffic offences were detected on Victorian roads between 24 and 28 April.

Victoria Police conducted operation “Tribute” over the ANZAC Day period. During that time they recorded 6857 offences.

Nearly 2800 of the detected offences were for speeding. 441 people were caught driving unlicensed or disqualified, 308 were caught on their phones, and 168 people failed drink driving tests.

Victoria Police road policing assistant commissioner Glenn Weir said “ANZAC Day is an important time of reflection and paying our respects, however it’s a shame we don’t see this extended to people’s behaviour on the roads. There is a clear lack of regard for the rules despite our continuous warnings that police will be out enforcing during high-risk periods – almost 7,000 offences detected over five days is disappointing.”

“Of particular concern is the high number of people we are catching who should not be behind the wheel – these individuals show a blatant disregard for the road rules and to the safety of all other road users. The number of people fined for things that are so easily avoidable, like using a mobile phone or failing to wear a seatbelt, also remains baffling to us.”

The statewide road toll for 2024 is 93.

ABC TV, 9.20pm

Lushly set in the New Zealand goldfields of 1866, this miniseries is rich with disarmingly beautiful Kiwi scenery. The wealth of talent also dazzles: starring Bad Sisters’ Eve Hewson (she’s the daughter of U2’s Bono), Yesterday’s Himesh Patel and former Bond girl, French beauty Eva Green, the performances are grounded even when the story seems to fly into rather complicated territory. Based on Eleanor Catton’s award-winning novel (she’s also the screenwriter), it’s an evocative six-parter that transports you to a gripping world involving ill-fated romance, murder, opium dens and fortune-telling.

Art to carry scientist ‘into the future’

SCIENTIST Hans Brunner, who helped exonerate Lindy Chamberlain, died last week on Thursday, 25 April.

A large portrait, that he has referred to as representing “the other me”, has been entered in this year’s Archibald Portrait Competition.

The 95-year-old sat for the portrait for Frankston South artist Lulu Clifton-Evans in a project she said was designed to portray his significant contribution to Australian culture, science and yodelling.

Brunner and Clifton-Evans met with the now Chamberlain-Creighton in a Melbourne hotel last October to show her the portrait of Brunner with a microscope and his book on animal hair analysis that was written years before she was charged with the murder of her baby Azaria at Uluru.

Brunner was found by lawyers for Chamberlain-Creighton and gave evidence in 1986.

He was able to prove with his scientific hair analysis that baby Azaria was taken by a dingo. It was previously thought hairs found were that of a cat, but Brunner conclusively proved they were of a dingo.

His story is documented in a 20-minute video called the Hans Brunner Portrait Story Part Two on YouTube which includes excerpts of his book The Identification of Mammalian Hair and other documents.

The video also features him yodelling with the Edelwyss Yodel Choir, his former employment with the Keith Turnbull Research Institute, then located in Frankston North, and his links with the Swiss Club of Victoria.

In the video Brunner describes his portrait as “a picture with a thousand words” that would contributie to his memory and the Lindy Chamberlain case.

A former colleague at the Keith Turnbull Research Institute, Dr Ron

Amor, worked with Brunner between 1970 to 1980.

“He was a good friend and very committed scientist and he was proud of the technical expertise he created,” Amor said.

Australian Swiss Cultural Society

PUZZLE ZONE

president Sylvia Hochuli said she had known Brunner - the man “with the golden voice” - for 60 years.

“His yodelling was admired by people both in Australia and Switzerland,” she said.

“He was a much-admired member

of the Swiss community because of that golden voice – even performing on television.”

Manuela Erb, honorary consul of the Swiss consulate in Melbourne, said Brunner was a respected and loved member in Melbourne’s Swiss community.

“Nothing quite captured our hearts as when Hans broke out in song and yodelled often quite unexpectedly,” she said. “His yodelling transported us back to our roots.”

A member of the Edelwyss Yodel Choir and the Swiss Club of Victoria, Chris Thalmann said Brunner was a perfectionist and a professional when it came to yodelling.

“Although Hans was the centrepiece of our choir he was always very unassuming,” he said.

“Hans was unusual in that he was so considerate of others in the choir even though he was the centre piece.”

Brunner attended a reunion of the Keith Turnbull Research Institute in Moorooduc late last year and delighted his colleagues with an impromptu yodel.

Brunner was also a table tennis player and a long time member of the Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association.

He was a member of many environmental organisations and fought for a number of environmental issues. One of his passions was fighting for the protection and survival of the endangered southern brown bandicoot. In 2014 he was named Environmentalist of the Year by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council.

Railway Crossing Smash – Fatality at Somerville

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A SHOCKING fatality occurred at the railway crossing, between Baxter and Somerville, on Monday night, when Mr. Alfred Field, 45, market gardener, of Mornington, was killed, and Mr. John Twyford, 60, an orchardist, of Somerville, was seriously injured in a collision between a goods train and a motor truck, in which they were travelling to the Melbourne market.

It appears that Field, who owns the motor truck, had been engaged by Twyford to convey a consignment of apples to Melbourne, ready for Tuesday’s market.

The engine, which it is said was travelling tender first, struck the motor truck with great force, carrying it along the line for over a hundred yards.

Upon examination it was found that Field was beyond aid, his skull being so badly fractured that death must have been instantaneous.

Twyford, it was found, had been jammed between the engine of the truck and the tender of the train.

Upon Drs. Bickart, of Somerville, and Maxwell, of Frankston, being summoned, and an examination made, it was found he had sustained a fractured thigh and severe head injuries. He was at once removed to a private hospital in a very critical condition.

The body of Field was also removed to Frankston, where the inquest will be held.

The injured man and the deceased were very highly respected, being well known on the Peninsula, and the deepest sympathy is felt for the relatives by the public generally.

The crossing where the fatality took

place used to be regarded as most dangerous. Some time back, however, steps were taken to remove a portion of a bank of earth which used to obstruct the vision.

Field leaves a widow and family of five children.

Bravery Recognised. Presentation of Medals

On Monday night, during the interval at the Picture Entertainment, held under the auspices of the Frankston Life Saving Society, medals were presented to Brian Lane, Colin Robison and Ray Coxall for gallantry displayed in saving life, at Frankston early in the present year.

There was a large attendance of the public, at the Frankston Palais, where the ceremony was performed, and the heroes of the occasion were accorded a great ovation as they stepped on to the stage, in answer to their names.

Ray Coxall was not present, but a younger brother represented him.

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus, who made the presentation, said that the medals had been subscribed for by the citizens of Frankston, and it was appropriate that the presentation should take at a function organised by the Frankston Life Saving Society.

Cr. C. Gray, who had been deputised to make the presentation, was unable to be present, owing to an important engagement in Melbourne, and had asked him (the speaker) to act in his stead.

Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus said he was very proud to have such a pleasing duty to perform. Brian Lane and Colin Robison were the two heroes who rescued Miss Morgan from drowning

at Frankston in January last.

The gold medals recorded the details of the incident, and would serve a memento of a very courageous act.

The speaker said he had also been asked to present to both Messrs. Lane and Robison wallets of notes from the young lady herself and her parents (Loud applause.)

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus announced that the two lads concerned were too modest to make a public response and they had requested him to thank everybody most sincerely. (Applause).

A call for Ray Coxall was not responded to.

Lieut.–Colonel Lazarus said the young fellow had rescued a man from drowning at Frankston at a spot between Kananook Creek and the pier.

A gold medal, suitably inscribed was handed to Master Claude Coxall behalf of his brother, amid great applause.

The Picture Palais, which had been generously hired to the Frankston Life Saving Club, on easy terms was well filled, although in the opinion Mr. Reg. Royle, the secretary of club, the attendance was not quite to expectations, considering that the object of the entertainment was to raise funds for such a worthy object such as the erection of a club house.

However, it is expected that a fairly substantial surplus will be shown.

***

THE Anzac Commemoration Service, held at Frankston, on Friday last, was wonderfully impressive.

The attendance was larger than in former years, and a pleasant and noteworthy feature was the large attendance of returned soldiers.

Mr. J. L. Pratt, president of the

Frankston Branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., states that the returned men present numbered over 70.

Owing to unfavourable weather the service was held in the Palais, and the result was so entirely satisfactory that it is possible that open air services will not be persevered with in future.

The returned soldiers assembled at the Soldiers’ Hall, and marched to the Palais, and the High School Scholars also marched, under the direction of the head master, Mr. Chapman.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Bruce, and Mrs. Bruce attended the service, which was conducted by Captain Chaplain Hugh Jones.

The Frankston Brass Band, led by the bandmaster, Mr. Brine, led the singing, members of the combined church choirs also assisting.

On the platform, with the Captain Chaplain Jones, were the Revs. A. P. McFarlane (Anglican); A. E. Wellard (Methodist), and W. E. Watkins (Presbyterian).

The service opened with the uplifting notes of “All people that on earth do dwell,” after which Rev. A. P. McFarlane engaged in prayer in commemoration of the fallen.

The hymn, “Nearer My God to Thee” was sung. The Rev. A. E. Wellard read the 124th Psalm, and concluded with prayer.

After the Recessional was sung the address was given by Chaplain Captain Jones. He opened by referring to the presence of the Prime Minister, who was in attendance at great inconvenience to himself; as there were many calls upon him that day. They would all appreciate the fact that Mr. Bruce had found it possible to attend the

service.

Continuing, the rev. speaker said it was the first time since conducting these services at Frankston that he had not seen a single uniform. Perhaps the moths had been busy.

Referring to the occasion they were commemorating, the speaker said a double thought suggested itself – the part taken by man, and the part taken by God. The scriptural words seemed appropriate: “We went through fire and through water, but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”

The men did their part, and God did His part. Providence was fighting for the Allies, and gave them the victory. A wonderful victory had been achieved, the fame and glory of which would continue as long as the Great God held the world in the hollow of his hand.

***

YESTERDAY ex-Sergeant Major Gamble, formerly of the Black Watch, visited Frankston.

He’s one hundred and three years and four months old, having been born in Paisley on the 12th of January, 1821. Mr. Gamble, who retains all his faculties, is selling buttons to enable him to write the history of the Indian Mutiny, of which he took part, having carried the dispatches that brought about the relief of Lucknow.

He was also through the Crimean War, of which he carries the full medal. These are not carried by another living person. He also has the medal for the Mutiny (Central India), and the Rorke’s Drift Medal, South Africa 1879.

Mt Eliza wins on ANZAC Day, Bulldogs women win again

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

MEN'S DIV ONE

MT Eliza picked up a big win over Mornington on ANZAC Day last week.

Alexandra Park hosted the ANZAC Day match on Thursday. After a close opening quarter, the Redlegs entered the first break with a 14-point lead. They put their foot on the accelerator in the second term and took a 33-point lead into half-time.

Mt Eliza continued to extend their lead as the game went on. They eventually claimed a dominant 81 point victory 7.10 (52) to 19.19 (133).

The win put Mt Eliza top of the ladder. They are equal on points with four other teams - Dromana, Frankston YCW, Sorrento, and Red Hill.

Frankston YCW defeated Frankston Bombers by three goals on Saturday. The Stonecats got out to a big lead early and managed to hold off the fastfinishing Bombers.

Riley D’Arcy booted five goals for YCW.

Sorrento defeated Langwarrin by 15 points in a low-scoring match at Lloyd Park last weekend. Langwarrin fell to the Sharks 7.8 (50) to 9.11 (65).

Pines lost to Red Hill at home on Saturday 13.2 (80) to 16.10 (106). Dromana rounded out the winner’s list with a 15.11 (101) to 7.6 (48) win over Rosebud.

MEN'S DIV TWO

DEVON Meadows finished the weekend on top of the MPFNL Division Two ladder after a thumping victory over Karingal.

After a close first term, the Panthers took control of the contest. They went on to win by 65 points 16.14 (110) to 7.3 (45).

Patty Ryder booted four goals. Dean Kent, Jayden Sullivan, Dylan Gregson, and Toby Sinnema were also among the best.

Devon Meadows are now 4-0 to start the 2024 season. Hot on their heels are Chelsea, which is the only other undefeated team in the division.

Chelsea defeated Bonbeach with ease last Saturday. They bested the Sharks 17.16 (118) to 4.10 (34).

Crib Point and Edithvale-Aspendale each picked up nine-goal wins over Rye and Seaford respectively last weekend. Tyabb beat Hastings by 62 points, and Pearcedale beat Somerville by 37.

WOMEN'S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON stretched its winning streak to four games with a big victory over Pearcedale last weekend.

A six-goals-to-one first quarter put the game out of Pearcedale’s reach. They showed some fight in the third term to cut back the lead, but the Bulldogs ran away with it in the final quarter.

The undefeated Mornington Blue defeated Pearcedale 16.7 (103) to 2.8 (20).

Hayley Monk starred for Mornington - she scored five goals. Anna McGlade, Elizabeth Muir, Indigo Service Brown, and Eliza Snehotta kicked two goals each.

Earlier in the day at Alexandra Park, Mornington White were comprehensively beaten by Frankston.

Frankston was in control of the match from the first bounce. They ended up winning by 71 points 3.2 (20) to 13.13 (91).

Adele Kerley booted four goals for Frankston. Ella Hilton, Felicity Crank, and Jemma Radings were named among the best.

Investigation into on-field incident

AN incident during an MPFNL match between Karingal and Pearcedale earlier this month is being investigated.

During the match on 20 April, Karingal player Agape Patolo was sent off. It has now been alleged that during the incident, Patolo was targeted by racial abuse.

In a statement, Karingal FNC said that it has requested an investigation into the matter. “We want to assure you that this matter is being taken very seriously. An official investigation has been requested via the MPFNL Board which oversees the AFL South East to thoroughly

examine the incidents, gather all necessary information, and take appropriate actions,” the club said.

“Our priority is to ensure that for our people and community it remains a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background.”

The Pearcedale Football Netball Club took to social media to launch a passionate defence of its players.

In a statement the club said “since requesting the investigation on Monday, Pearcedale sponsors, executive committee members and players have been inundated with

threatening messages from supporters of the suspended Karingal player. It appears they are attempting to excuse/deflect from his violent actions by painting our club in a negative light. They made claims of racial vilification against our players and our officials which are completely refuted and unsubstantiated. Reports of racist comments from the large crowd are being investigated and taken seriously.”

Pearcedale FNC’s post urged people to call the police if they were “receiving threats from supporters of the suspended player”.

Game abandoned at Mount Eliza

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

CHAOS descended on Mount Eliza af-

ter Friday night’s controversial ending to the local team’s State 5 home game against Barton United.

The trigger for referee Farhad Sharif’s decision to abandon the contest was the dismissal of Mount Eliza’s Nickel Chand after an off-the-ball incident late in the first half.

Barton led 1-0 at the time and Mount Eliza head coach Alex Halikias was incensed at the red card decision.

Referee Sharif approached the home team’s bench and after an exchange with Halikias sent off the irate coach.

Sharif’s report claims that he was racially abused and threatened and it is believed that the onlookers included Football Victoria CEO Chris Pehlivanis and a referee’s inspector.

On Sunday rumour was rife that the local outfit had parted company with Halikias but president Justin Sheppard refused to confirm that the coach had left.

Sheppard praised Halikias for his work with the senior men’s program and said talks with him were ongoing so confusion reigned as we went to press.

“We haven’t made anything public and we obviously are still talking with Alex on the club’s position moving forward as we have been very happy with the progress of the team under him,” Sheppard said.

In other State 5 news Seaford United hammered Pakenham United 8-1 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday to maintain its perfect record atop the ladder.

It’s scary to contemplate the possible scoreline had Seaford not been without injured Hayden Hicks, Wisey Barakzoi and Nathan Meade while Josh Vega was suspended and Jonas Harrasser only fit enough for the bench.

The opening goal was little more than a training run as Cory Osorio sent Naseer Mohammad motoring clear on the right and he squared it across goal for a Mike Nobbs tap-in.

Mohammad set up Nobbs for a second and Seaford led 2-0 at half-time.

The floodgates opened after the interval with Mohammad and Sam Luxford both bagging braces then a soft penalty to Pakenham was converted by Khoo Mohammadi.

Hicks sent Mitch Hawkins clear and his fine finish on the turn made it 7-1 before Jonas Harrasser sent Hicks through and he made no mistake with a trademark left-foot strike.

Rosebud was 2-0 down after 20 minutes but staged a stirring comeback to

beat Bunyip District 4-2 at Olympic Park on Saturday evening and continue its neck-and-neck title tussle with Seaford.

Rosebud’s fightback started 10 minutes before half-time via a superb interplay between Mark Pagliarulo and Barney Johnson with the latter scoring his fourth goal in five games.

Five minutes into the second period Rosebud’s coaching staff made a triple change which included bringing on scoring legend Dave Greening.

Soon after it was 2-2 when the first of Frank Barrett’s three assists set up Caleb Davies to get his first for the club.

Chances were now coming thick and fast and the go-ahead goal came from Greening who finished well from a Barrett cross.

Rosebud’s nerves were settled by Greening’s third goal of the season when he chested down another Barrett cross then rifled in a left-foot rocket that sealed Bunyip’s fate.

Man-of-the-match Ethan Hunt was instrumental in controlling the midfield for Rosebud as the home side ran out a worthy winner.

Aspendale got back to winning ways with a 4-2 win in Saturday’s home clash with Mount Martha.

Mount Martha struck first when a defensive error in the 40th minute sent Harry Aylett clear and he made no mistake.

Aspendale hit back five minutes later through captain Matthew Bruce with a low shot from the edge of the box and

it was 1-1 at half-time.

Bruce was again on target three minutes into the second half and shortly after completed his hat-trick.

Mount Martha substitute Jacob Platt capitalised on a goalmouth scramble to make it 3-2 and ushered in some nervous moments for the home team.

Until another substitute made his mark with Alec Bunn’s late goal settling the issue.

In VPL1 Langwarrin suffered its biggest loss of the season when it travelled to Tarneit and went down 7-0 to Western United on Sunday.

There was no way back for the visitors after going in 4-0 down at halftime.

On Tuesday head coach Jamie Skelly will take a young squad to Strathnaver Reserve to face FC Strathmore in the Dockerty Cup.

Big Lucas Portelli continues his recovery from a dislocated kneecap and is expected to be available later next month.

In State 1 Mornington drew 1-1 with visitor Malvern City despite the early dismissal of Ryan Paczkowski.

Zachariah Ahmad put Malvern ahead in the 37th minute before big Josh Heaton equalised nine minutes from time.

In State 2 Peninsula Strikers maintained their promotion push with a 4-2 away win over North Caulfield on Sunday.

The sides went in at half-time locked at 1-1.

Scorers for the local side were Tom Wood, Taylan Geylan, Riley Anderton

and substitute Noah Musso. Skye United’s run of outs continued when it was convincingly beaten 5-2 at home by Berwick City on Friday night.

Skye’s goals came from Daniel Walsh and a Berwick own goal and Phil McGuinness’s side will go into this weekend’s derby with Strikers having lost four games in a row.

In State 3 Frankston Pines remains on the bottom of the ladder after Saturday’s 3-1 away loss to St Kilda.

Reshad Nahimzada scored for Pines.

In State 4 news Chelsea emerged a 3-2 victor after Saturday’s entertaining derby battle with Baxter at Baxter Park.

Baxter keeper Jarrod Nardino paid dearly when he missed an attempt to punch clear in the 18th minute.

The ball fell to talented teen Christian Murray who played it back into the goalmouth and James Stinson cheekily flicked it into goal with the side of his foot.

A minute later scores were level.

A long ball floated to the back post was headed back across goal to an unmarked Daniel Taylor and he headed in from point-blank range.

Chelsea regained the lead in the 24th minute in spectacular fashion when Nathan Boccari unleashed a dipping volley from 30 metres that beat a diving Nardino and nestled in the far corner.

Two minutes later a superb ball from Noah Green put Aleks Dukic in but his first-time strike was straight at Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies.

Murray set up Stinson in the 32nd minute but the league top scorer could only hit the side netting from close range.

Although Chelsea was clearly superior in the first half Baxter hit back in the 54th minute when Green’s long-range cross from the right sailed over Davies and into the top far corner.

Two minutes later Nardino pulled off a fine save from a one-on-one with Stinson but the classy English striker couldn’t be contained for much longer.

The winner came in the 65th minute when an Adam Bartosy corner was greeted by a bullet-like header from Stinson.

Nat Daher had come off the Baxter bench following Stinson’s goal and in the 76th minute was dragged to the ground inside the area by Chelsea’s Harry Parker but play was waved on.

Green and Chelsea captain Luke D’Alessandro clashed heads shortly after and play was held up for some time before D’Alessandro was stretchered off.

Chelsea was awaiting a medical update as we went to press.

Baxter featured new signing Dun-

can Mcpherson but Aaran Currie has stepped away from the sport and is unlikely to play against this season.

Mcpherson has only been in Australia for a couple of months and played for Yorkshire Main in the Central Midlands Alliance League.

He made a handful of appearances for Yarra Jets in State 4 East.

Somerville Eagles lost 5-4 away to Sandown Lions on Saturday evening. Somerville failed to put the game to bed when it wasted chances to increase a 3-2 lead and was duly punished.

Alessio Izzo (2), Marcus Anastasiou and Tom Simmons scored for the Eagles.

Mentone lost 3-1 away to league leader Hampton Park United last weekend.

Marcus Spivey’s third goal of the season in the 82nd minute was a consolation effort for the visitors.
