Parkland project progresses

A NEW park at a former landfill site in Clarinda is now open.
Victory Road Reserve officially opened last week. The park sits on 30 hectares of land once used as landfill.
The Clarinda park forms part of Kingston Council’s planned “chain of parks”, a series of linked parks stretching from Karkarook Park in Heather-
ton through to Braeside Park. Kingston Council worked with Cleanaway to rehabilitate the Clarinda land. Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said “we’re so pleased to be able to provide long term benefits from closed and rehabilitated landfill sites - providing positive outcomes for the community and the environment. Vibrant new spaces like this really enhance our recreational facilities and open space in our green wedge and we can’t wait to see everyone coming to-
gether to enjoy it.”
“We have invested heavily in transforming former tips on council land, with Elder Street South and Spring Road Reserve in Dingley Village previously completed and having an incredibly positive impact on our community,” she said. “The Victorian government’s purchase of a further 83 hectares in Heatherton and Clayton South was also very exciting and we are getting closer everyday to seeing the generational chain of parks – sand-
belt open space project being completed.”
Cleanaway’s head of engineering landfill and remediation, Barry Griffin, has outlined the work that went into the transformation. “Our team worked closely with key stakeholders during the five-year project to transform this landfill site, planting 230,000 shrubs and trees, laying 300,000 square metres of grass cover, and constructing three kilometres of access paths, a gym circuit, dog park and viewing plat-
form,” he said.
In 2018, the state government committed $25 million towards purchasing land for the chain of parks. In the leadup to the 2022 state election, Kingston Council called for the state government to fulfill its promise and help complete the project (“Pleas for parkland promise to be fulfilled” The News 5/10/2022).

Rooming house plan approved
A BUILDING on The Strand in Chelsea will be converted into a rooming house despite nearly 100 objections to the proposal.
Plans to convert 5-7 The Strand into a rooming house have been approved by a slim majority of Kingston councillors. The building will be internally modified to make it a seven-bedroom property.
The permit granted by Kingston Council states that no more than 10 people can be residing in the house at any one time.
Councillor Georgina Oxley called in the application after council received dozens of objections from residents. She moved an alternate proposal to reject a permit for the plan, but did not
win the support of the council majority.
Councillors Jenna Davey-Burns, Tracey Davies, Chris Hill, George Hua, and Hadi Saab voted to grant the permit. Davey Burns’ casting vote as the mayor saw the plan approved.
A report prepared by council officers read that objectors were concerned about “appropriateness of location, poor internal facilities, waste management, insufficient car parking, noise, and insufficient open space.”
The report read that council did not consider “inappropriate behaviour, anxiety of community” and suggestions that the proposal would be “detrimental to the community due to temporary nature of living of future
occupants” as valid reasons for an objection.
Council officers recommended that the permit be approved.
“The subject site is located within commercial 1 zone and one of the purposes of the zone is ‘to provide for residential uses at densities complementary to the role and scale of the commercial centre’. The zone seeks to provide higher density and encourages accommodation including rooming houses at upper levels,” council officers wrote. “Having reviewed relevant policy in section 11 of this report, the land use is considered to be appropriate.”

Life savers named the best
MORDIALLOC and Mentone life savers emerged as big winners from the Life Saving Victoria Awards of Excellence last week. Among the winners of awards on the night were Jemma Holt, Cameron Bladen, Samantha Barrow, and Liam Smith from Mordialloc Life Saving Club. From Mentone, Kahsia Lockwood and Sarah Pinkerton were recognised for their efforts.
The Mordialloc LSC’s under 19s team won the female obstacle relay team of the year award. Mordialloc LSC also won the award for the Victorian Championship Point Score Winner, and Mentone Life Saving Club won the Beaurepaire Shield for Club of the Year trophy.
Life Saving Victoria President Paul James congratulated the award winners. He said “through our combined
efforts to save lives and empower communities to safely enjoy water, we have made an impact that goes far beyond what any of us can see or fully know.”
“For that, I encourage you all to hold your heads high as members of our movement, and for the far-reaching contribution you make to the people of - and visitors to - Victoria,” he said.
Wild weather chaos
THOUSANDS of homes were left without power after a wild storm overnight between 1 and 2 September.
Wild winds tore through the southeast of Melbourne earlier this week.
On the morning of 2 September there were 1232 homes without power in Bonbeach and 2962 without power in Carrum Downs and its surrounding areas. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “hundreds of workers are working to restore power as soon as they can.”
SES Frankston and Chelsea units were kept busy, and responded to multiple callouts across the night.
Name for pool chosen
THE new pool in Mordialloc will be named the “Mordi Aquatic Centre”.
Five names were being considered for the new centre - Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Pools, Mordi Aquatics, and Mordi Aquatic Centre. At their
most recent public meeting, Kingston councillors unanimously agreed to endorse the Mordi Aquatic Centre name and begin the process of registering it.
The new swimming centre, which will be built across from Jack Grut Reserve, is expected to cost $87.5 million to build. The federal government has put in $20 million, and the rest of the cost will be covered by Kingston Council. The land for the pool cost $14.6 million.
The new centre will replace the Don Tatnell Leisure Centre in Parkdale, which was condemned due to structural issues (“Pool demolition scheduled for next year” The News 20/12/2022).
The new pool is expected to open in 2026.

NOMINATIONS for the 2024 Kingston Women of the Year awards are now open.
Awards in four categories will be handed out at an event on 7 March next year: courageous commitment, excelling in arts or sport, inspiring innovation, and success in STEM.
Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns has encouraged people to nominate outstanding women from the community. “Representation really matters. That is why we host these awards. We shine a light on the ways women in
differing roles, from all backgrounds and with a myriad of talents and passions, contribute so positively to our communities,” she said.
“I’m really looking forward to hearing more about the inspiring women we have in our city.”
The award ceremony will be held as part of Kingston Council’s International Women’s Day event on Friday, 7 March, 2025. To nominate someone visit kingston.vic.gov. au/community/awards/women-of-the-year.

AFL premiership medals found
A PAIR of AFL premiership medals allegedly stolen from Richmond footballer Shai Bolton have been found in Seaford.
Police raided a home on Austin Road at around 7am on 27 August, and found the 2019 and 2020 premiership medals inside. Police allege they were stolen from a house in Malvern on 18 December, 2022.
The police raid was part of a separate investigation into almost 30 alleged commercial burglaries at cafes, bakeries and restaurants in Chelsea Heights, Dingley Village, Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham this year. The alleged burglaries occurred between 20 July and 15 August.
A 36-year-old man was arrested at the Seaford property. He has been charged with 104 offences, including 29 counts of burglary, 29 counts of criminal dam-

allegedly
age, 17 counts of theft, and one count of theft of motor vehicle.
In a statement, Victoria Police said the medals would be returned after the conclusion of the court process. The man was remanded to face Moorabbin Justice Centre on 27 August.
Moorabbin crime investigation unit detective sergeant Grant Lewis said “given the sentimental value attached to these medals, we were extremely pleased to uncover them during our search warrant.
“We look forward to reuniting the medals with their rightful owner, given the significance winning a flag would hold for both him and his family,” Lewis said. “[The] warrant was the culmination of a police investigation into an alleged burglary spree across south-east Melbourne, where over 30 businesses were also targeted.”
Charges laid over stabbing
TWO women have been charged over an alleged stabbing which left a man with critical injuries.
Last week, a 33-year-old Mornington woman and a 28-year-old Carrum
Downs woman were each charged with aggravated carjacking, attempted aggravated carjacking, and intentionally cause serious injury. Police allege they stabbed a man multiple times before stealing his car on Lurline Street in Cranbourne on 25 August.
The duo allegedly failed to carjack a woman on Sladen Street shortly beforehand at around 8.40pm.
The victim of the alleged stabbing was taken to hospital with critical injuries. The 35-year-old Clyde North man is in a stable condition.
The allegedly stolen car was found in Pakenham later that night.
The 33-year-old woman was arrested at a convenience store and the 28-yearold woman was arrested at a property. They were each remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 26 August.
Fatal in Baxter
A WOMAN has died after a collision in Baxter.
Police say the 68-year-old woman was walking near the Peninsula Link off ramp on Frankston-Flinders Road
at around 3pm on 24 August when she was struck by a car. She died at the scene.
The driver of the car was unhurt. She has assisted police with their enquiries.
Any witnesses can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submitting a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au
Tax scam warning
SCAMMERS are using fake myGov emails to steal money from people at tax time.
Victoria Police has issued a warning that scammers are defrauding people by generating fraudulent payments in the victim’s name, or redirecting tax refunds to be paid into their own accounts. They use SMS and emails impersonating government agencies to trick their victims.
More than $2 million dollars has been reported as lost to scammers by Victoria Police since 30 June this year. Police have received 309 reports of scams.
Victoria Police cybercrime squad detective senior sergeant John Cheyne said police are “encouraging everyone to be hypervigilant when it comes to scams such as these. Never click on a link sent to you that is purporting to be from the Australian Taxation Office or myGov, they will never ask you to access any online services via a link.”
“Make sure you access your accounts through legitimate apps or via independent searches,” he said.
“We’re also finding that victims are ignoring what are actually legitimate texts from organisations indicating their accounts have been accessed, thinking they are scams. If you receive a text like this, log in to your account via a legitimate app or an independent search and make sure everything is as it should be. Change your password and phone the ATO helpline if necessary.
“We’d also recommend you conduct a bi-yearly health check of your accounts. Check your credit score or log in to your myGov account to make sure no edits have been made throughout the year that weren’t done by you. Account compromises such as these are often not identified until months after they’ve occurred, when the victim next logs in to their account.
“We encourage anyone who has been subject to a scam such as this to speak to police.”
Common phrases used by scammers include:
n “You are due to receive an ATO Direct refund.”
n “You have a new message in your myGov inbox – click here to view.”
n “You need to update your details to allow your Tax return to be processed.”
n “We need to verify your incoming tax deposit.”
n “ATO Refund failed due to incorrect BSB/Account number.”
n “Your income statement is ready, click on the link to view.”
To report a scam contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Retirement marks the end of an era
Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au
IT is with deep gratitude, and a sense of sadness, that we say goodbye to our friend and colleague, Keith Platt, who is retiring this week.
Life can feel like a strung-together series of wins and losses, randomly thrust upon us by an ambivalent universe.
One of our great wins was that Keith came to work for us at Mornington Peninsula News Group in 2012 as our group editor.
Keith has spent his entire career working in journalism across newspapers, magazines, television and documentary making.
When he came to MPNG he was already well-known in the community for his long years at the Independent News and had a reputation for fearlessly holding those in power to account.
Keith gave so much to MPNG. He offered leadership. He offered guidance. He offered a steady hand. He has become a friend, a mentor and someone I look up to with great respect and reverence.
Staff come and go. But Keith was never a mere staff member. He was part of the fabric of this company, and will continue as an enduring part of our story.
There are more tales than there is space to tell them.
One I recall is when Keith and I were invited to a “sit down” with a municipal CEO. Early in the meeting he said to Keith “can I tell you something off the record?” to which Keith flatly replied “no”.
It was a short meeting.
You see, Keith didn’t want to be compromised. Ever. He wouldn’t let anything inhibit his remit to hold people to account.
He pursued the truth at all costs. If you were trying to act against the best interests of the community and Keith was on the other end of the phone, you had a problem.
Keith played no favours and once said to me “I think we are not doing
our job properly unless we are disliked equally by all sides of politics”. It was a difficult thing to hear as a publisher often trying to take the diplomatic path!
Keith has worked well beyond retirement age. He has served his community well. And the Mornington Peninsula is a better place for his advocacy.
So, thank you Keith. We’ll miss you!
Learn to reverse boats
A FREE clinic on reverse parking boats will be held at Patterson River this month.
The clinic will be run by the Victorian Fisheries Authority’s Better Boating division with support from Peninsula Boat Training. It has been paid for through the state government’s “better boating fund”.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny is encouraging boaters to brush up on their parking skills. “This free clinic is a great way to build your confidence
in reversing at the ramp, so when it’s busy and you’ve got family and friends waiting to head out, you can launch quickly and safely, find a park and enjoy the day in the great outdoors,” she said.
“You’ll leave with practical tips and tricks to put into practice next time you hit the water so you can make a great start to a day fishing or boating.”
The clinic will be held on Sunday, 15 September. To register visit betterboating.vic.gov.au
NATIONAL WORKS ON PAPER
NATIONAL Works on Paper is one of the finest art awards and exhibitions in the country, attracting Australia’s leading contemporary artists working with paper, and is on at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery until 24 November.
There were 1,049 artists from across Australia who submitted entries for NWOP 2024, with 70 works shortlisted. Every state and territory is represented and for the first time, four Mornington Peninsula-based artists are finalists; Eleesa Howard, Joshua Searle, Rosie Weiss and Gidja Walker OAM. From painting, printmaking, drawing, video, sculpture and weaving, the finalists’ works explore the possibilities of paper and the personal and political power of paper as a medium. Founding Director of MPRG Alan McCulloch loved the medium of paper. As an art critic, cartoonist, illustrator and commissioner of illustrations for publication, he made the pragmatic decision 50 years ago to build a collection around works on paper. These days, the NWOP awards and acquisitions are supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire and Friends of MPRG.
Mandy Gunn, and from Melbourne, abstract artist Emily Ferretti, Gail
whose practice is informed by 1960s minimalism and Briony Galligan, a collaborative drawing and performance artist.
On Sunday 8 September, MPRG will host a series of artist talks, including Adelaidebased First Nations artist Nici Cumpston OAM, NWOP 2020 winner Annika Romeyn (from Canberra), Gippsland based paper artist
Local artist Eleesa Howard is running a Form, Colour Play and Repetition workshop on Monday 16 September and there are a series of school holiday workshops for kids, including sculptural forms with Gidja Walker OAM and watercolour painting with Jennifer Mills.

We’ve got some of world’s most beautiful beaches, but it’s still a thrilling surprise that the British-French crime comedy in Paradise has set sail with this Aussie spin-off. After 13 seasons, the delightful whodunit following a fish-out-of-water detective begrudgingly taking up a new post in a sunny Caribbean town has a sparkling new cast and setting for this six-parter. Set in the fictional Dolphin Cove (the picturesque NSW Illawarra), it’s a starring role for Home and Away’s Anna Samson (pictured) as intriguingly awkward London detective Mackenzie Clarke, who is forced home after being framed.

Ripe with double entendres, rich ’60s costuming and an infectious sense of mirth, sometimes it’s easy to forget that we are dealing with murders… no matter how cleverly fictitious they may be. Lorna Watson (pictured centre left) is fabulously straightfaced as the plucky nun who has a divine skill for solving her town’s murders, with a little luck and a lot of nous. Tonight, the wonderful period garb makes way for an entirely different style of over-the-top outfits when a drama society becomes Sister Boniface’s focus.

Tragic Death of Returned Solider at Frankston
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
UNDER very tragic circumstances, the death of Mr. Walter Victor Fitzsimmons, fish merchant, of Bay street, Frankston, occurred on Sunday morning last. The deceased was a young, returned soldier of 27, and served five years in the war.
About 10.15 o’clock on the morning in question, the deceased left his house in company with Mr. George Whittingham, also a local resident of the town, with the intention of going out to fish. When they reached the Kananook creek, the boat was half-full of water. After bailing the water out of the craft, they dragged it through the sand for a distance of 40 feet in the direction of the sea-front. On approaching the water’s edge, the “deceased, without any due premonition, reeled suddenly, and fell into the boat.
Naturally alarmed at the collapse of his mate, Mr. Whittingham went to his, assistance, but the victim of what later transpired to be a fatal heart seizure, did not speak.
Dr. Hilliard Johnson, who was hastily summoned to the stricken man, pronounced life to be extinct.
The death was reported by the authorities to the District Coroner (Mr. Berriman) who ordered a post mortem, which was held by Dr. Johnson on Monday, when it was found that the cause of death had been due to disease of the heart.
To the young widow and relatives left behind to mourn their sad loss, we extend our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
The funeral arrangements were undertaken by the local branch of the
R.S.S.I.L.A., and were most impressively conducted.
The cortege left the late residence of the deceased at 2.30pm yesterday, to the Frankston cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Wellard (Methodist) officiating at the graveside.
There were many beautiful wreaths, including one from the local branch of the returned men; over 80 members of that association being present to pay their last tribute of heartfelt sympathy to the erstwhile “Digger.”
The coffin-bearers were: Messrs. G. Chapman, A. Corlett, H. Golds and J. Coster; the pall-bearers being: Cr. J. L. Pratt (president of the local branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A.), Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus, and Mr T. Mitchell (vice presidents), Mr. R. E. Chapman (honorary secretary), and Messrs. Montague and Philbrick.

Motor Car Collides With Telegraph Pole – Lady Sustains Injury
At the early hour of 2am last Sunday, Mr. William Ross, motor garage
IN THE specialists HANDS
proprietor, St. Kilda, reported to Sergt. Culhane, of the Frankston Police, that while he was driving along the Point Nepean road, Seaford, in his motor car, it suddenly skidded in the sand, and collided with a telegraph pole.
He escaped with an abrasion on the bridge of his nose, but Mrs. Ruby May Tracey, who resides at Northcote, was not so fortunate. She had been sitting in the front seat of the car, and when the impact occurred, was thrown violently forward, with the result that she sustained a severe cut to her forehead.
Two other occupants in the rear portion of the car escaped without injury.
In company with Dr. Hilliard Johnson, of Frankston, the police visited the scene of the accident, and the unfortunate lady was conveyed to Sister Campbell’s private hospital, at which she received surgical attention, several stitches being inserted in the wound in her head. She is now making good progress towards recovery.

Obituary– Mr. H. A. Cortissos
It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Harry Alfred Cortissos, of Frankston, who, on Tuesday morning last, passed peacefully away in his sleep at the age of 57.

For a period extending over 35 years, off and on, he was a valued employee of the Melbourne Storage Company. The funeral took place to the Frankston cemetery last Wednesday afternoon. We join in extending our sincere sympathy to those relatives and friends in their bereavement.

Chelsea and Edithvale-Aspendale to battle for premiership
MPFNL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
DROMANA has moved one step closer to premiership glory after booking its spot in the Grand Final.
Dromana played Frankston YCW in the semi-final at Olympic Park in Rosebud last Saturday. The Tigers were ruthless, and put the Stonecats to the sword.
The first quarter went Dromana’s way - the Tigers held the Stonecats goalless and took a 14 point lead into the first break. They stretched their lead to 36 points by the time half-time rolled around.
Dromana continued to apply the pressure in the second half. They ran out 79-point winners 17.12 (114) to 5.5 (35).
Billy Quigley, Matthew Gahan, Luke Oborn, Billy Geurts, and Riley Davis were named Dromana’s best. Quigley and forward Ethan Johnstone each scored three goals.
Frankston YCW will move on to this Sunday’s preliminary final at Olympic Park. They will play Mt Eliza - the Redlegs progressed by beating Rosebud 12.5 (77) to 8.9 (57) on Sunday.
MEN'S DIV TWO
EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE and Chelsea are set for a Grand Final showdown at Kinetic Stadium this Saturday. Edithvale-Aspendale beat Chelsea two weekends ago to book their Grand Final spot. Chelsea moved on to the preliminary final - the Seagulls played Somerville at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday.
Chelsea fired a warning shot to Edithvale-Aspendale. They smashed Somerville by 103 points to earn a rematch with the ladder leaders.
A four-goals-to-zero first quarter put Chelsea in the box seat. They never lost control, and went on to claim a 22.7 (139) to 4.12 (36) win.
Anthony Beale booted four goals for Chelsea. Jordan Kelly, Jack Francis, Jack Wallace, John Simson, and Jacob Spasevski were named among the best. The Division Two Grand Final kicks off at 2.30pm this Saturday at Kinetic Stadium in Frankston.
Dolphins bow out of finals
By Brodie Cowburn
THE Frankston Football Club’s
VFL finals run has come to an end.
The Dolphins scored a thrilling come-from-behind win over reigning premiers Gold Coast Suns in the wildcard final to book its spot in the main bracket of the finals series. They were tasked with the difficult job of travelling to Queensland to play the Southport Sharks last Saturday.
The Dolphins failed to get out of the gate against the Sharks. A
dominant first term put the Sharks comfortably ahead, and they never let go of their lead.
It was goals galore for the rest of the afternoon. Frankston managed to score 16 goals, but still lost by 92 points. The Sharks secured a dominant 30.15 (195) to 16.7 (103) win. Noah Gown booted five goals for the Dolphins.
Although the result will be a tough pill to swallow, the 2024 season will go down as a success for Frankston. It is their best finish to a VFL season since 2008.

Rosebud’s title, hope for Pines
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
ROSEBUD won the State 5 South championship last weekend while Frankston Pines took a giant step towards avoiding relegation from State 3 South-East.
It’s Rosebud’s first senior men’s title under the state federation banner and it was achieved with a 4-1 away win over Pakenham United in difficult conditions on Saturday.
Rosebud led after 12 minutes when Jacob Bigg bent the ball perfectly into the path of top scorer Dave Greening and he had little trouble in beating advancing Pakenham keeper Christopher Van Dam.
Three minutes later it was 2-0 when Barney Johnson set up Andy Jerez who finished well from outside the area.
But the goal of the match came from the home team when Trey Dekker used the strong wind to advantage and hammered home a long-range drive that flew into the top corner giving Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack no chance.
It was 2-1 at half-time and any uncertainty in the visitors’ camp was erased 10 minutes into the second half when Greening latched onto a Caleb Davies pass and buried the ball in the far corner of goal.
And the exclamation mark on a historic day came in the 86th minute with Dougie Cunnison catching Pakenham napping and chipping Van Dam.
At the end of the match Pakenham players formed a guard of honour for the newly crowned champions.
Meanwhile Pines had grabbed a State 3 lifeline the night before when Muginga Mpota’s two firsthalf goals were enough to defeat Sandringham 2-0 at Monterey Reserve.
Whether Pines drop down into a league that includes Chelsea, Baxter, Somerville Eagles, Mentone and Rosebud or retain their current league status will be decided this weekend when they square up to Elwood City in a season-defining contest at Elwood Park.
In State 1 news Mornington lost 2-1 at home to Springvale White Eagles on Saturday.
A brace from SWE’s Matheus Assumpcao had the visitors in control despite a late goal from young Mornington substitute Max Civil.
In State 2 news it was a weekend of contrast with delight for Skye United and disappointment for Peninsula Strikers.
Skye took on big-spending Greater Dandenong who had splurged on players in the last transfer window in a late bid to avoid relegation.
That move threatened to draw Skye deep into the relegation mire but Phil McGuinness’ men beat Greater Dandenong 2-1 on Saturday at WJ Turner Reserve.
Skye flew out of the blocks and was 2-0 up after 20 minutes.
It took just four minutes for young Riley Gill to get his first senior goal for the club after he was put through by Emmanuel Scarlett in a well-worked move.
In the 20th minute Gill turned provider as he crossed from the left to find the head of Alex Van Heerwarden and the big man doubled the lead.
Skye seemed to take its foot off the pedal and three minutes into the second half a long drive from Moshtagh Hossein Yaghoubi sparked concern among the visitors.
However Skye showed a resilience that has underpinned recent performances and weathered the ensuing storm to record an important win.
It was Skye’s third unbeaten game in a row – a first for this season – and a result that confirmed its State 2 status for 2025.
At the top end of the ladder Strikers’ bold bid for promotion ended with Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Shipston Reserve against Bayside Argonauts.
It was an entertaining contest despite the dearth of goals with Cooper Andrews having Strikers’ best chance in the first half when he cut inside before he skied his shot when well positioned.
The second half was an end-to-end battle with Strikers’ keeper Faraz Zenoozi making two topshelf saves while his teammates squandered chances to strike the decisive blow.
The best chance of this half fell to Tommy Wood who was put through by a sublime Wayne Gordon ball only to shoot straight at Bayside keeper Lewis Cotsopoulos.
The draw ensured that Bayside and Hampton East Brighton will be promoted to State 1 but despite this setback Strikers head coach Scott Morrison struck a positive note after the match.
“What a massive effort by this group of players,” Morrison said.
“They’ve gone toe to toe with Bayside and Hampton throughout the season and they have made the club and myself so proud of how far they have come.”
In State 4 news Chelsea’s promotion hopes were dashed by Saturday’s 4-2 away loss to Sandown Lions.
Jordan Kousides put Chelsea ahead in the 36th minute with a nice finish but four second-half goals from the home side – including a penalty – were
only answered by Daniel Vella converting from a Harry Parker cross.
Just a couple of weeks ago Chelsea was second but dropping eight points in its last four games has pushed Gus Macleod’s side down to fifth.
Mentone went down 2-1 to Springvale City at Mentone Grammar Playing Fields on Saturday with the home side paying the price for its lack of a cutting edge.
Mentone controlled the first half but Marcus Spivey couldn’t finish his one outstanding opportunity when his lob was saved by Springvale keeper Kadir Puric.
In an even second half it was the visitors who were able to capitalise in the periods they were on top with goals in the 69th and 77th minutes through Edim Lolic and Almand Thomas respectively.
In the 89th minute Lochy Morgan-Banks and Tyler Pollard combined to set up Eric Ervine who finished with a fine left-foot shot past Puric but this was of little consolation to the home team.
On Sunday Baxter and Somerville Eagles huffed and puffed to a 0-0 stalemate at Baxter Park.
In State 5 news Aspendale remains in the hunt to join Rosebud in State 4 South next season but its fate isn’t in its own hands.
Aspendale must beat Endeavour Hills Fire while hoping that Mount Martha can upset the odds and get at least a point from its clash with secondplaced FC Noble Hurricanes.
On Saturday Aspendale had a 2-1 home win over Mount Eliza thanks to a late winner from Luca Bozzo.
The wind had a major impact on the game and neither side could make much headway in the first 45 minutes.
It took until the 67th minute for the deadlock to be broken with danger man Koray Yildirim tapping in from a darting run and cross from Bozzo.
Mount Eliza hit back in the 81st minute from a Nickel Chand free-kick but in the final minute of
normal time Felix Hampson was fouled and a freekick awarded to the home side.
Up stepped Bozzo and curled the ball into the top corner and Aspendale had stolen all three points.
Mount Martha hammered Cleeland United 8-1 on Saturday at Civic Reserve.
The home side led 3-1 at half-time after a poor display against the worst team in the league but was far better after the break.
Mount Martha’s goals came from Jaden Taberner (2), Harry Aylett, Marcus Poda, David Jones, Connor Gibbs, Sam Griffiths and an own goal.
Seaford United had a 1-0 home win over Bunyip District on Saturday.
Seaford created the better chances but poor finishing and a fine display from Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo meant that the visitors were always a chance to get something from this clash.
The pivotal moment came in the 31st minute when Naseer Mohammad spun inside the area and thumped a firm shot past Biondo.
Just before half-time Bunyip’s Tom Thorwesten was judged to have denied Backy Borozoi a scoring opportunity and was sent off amid howls of protest from Bunyip players and supporters.
Despite being a man down the visitors continued to make Seaford work hard for this win.
This weekend is the final round of the State League season.
Unfortunately Football Victoria was unable to confirm State 2 South-East fixtures as we went to press.
We have made multiple attempts to contact the state body in an effort to confirm games involving Peninsula Strikers and Skye United but we have not received a response.
We have published provisional fixtures for both local clubs but please check social media for confirmation of date and kick-off times for these two games.
