Rate rise for residents

KINGSTON Council has approved its budget for the 2024/2025 financial year.

The draft budget was released for consultation in April and finalised at a meeting last week. Its surplus and rate rise went unchanged during the

final stage of consultation - Kingston Council projects an $8.2 million surplus for the next financial year and is raising rates by an average of 2.75 per cent, in line with the state government’s rate cap. General rates have increased by around 3.7 per cent.

Kingston Council has set aside more than $85 million of ratepayer money for infrastructure projects in

the 2024/2025 financial year. Around $35 million will be spent on the new aquatic centre near Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc.

In a statement, council said it considered more than 450 community submissions while putting together the budget. Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said “I am super proud to present the most collaborative

budget in our city’s history. It includes the ideas and aspirations of our residents, and we can’t wait to put what we’ve heard into practice over the next year and beyond.”

“We have worked hard to strike the right balance between ensuring the necessary funding is available to provide all our vital community services, while maintaining our community

Park plans make splash

PLANS for a massive water park in Dingley Village have been approved by the state government. The $120 million “SurfnPlay” project has been moving through the approval process over the last five years. A statement on the project’s Facebook page read “we are now looking forward to making the southern hemisphere’s largest indoor-outdoor water park a reality, with its many waterslides, pools, play areas and outdoor lounge spaces for families set to add a major tourism attraction to Melbourne’s south east.” See story page 5

assets, and still investing in new infrastructure like playgrounds, sporting facilities, walking and cycling paths and shopping strip upgrades,” she said. “In challenging economic times this is a responsible budget that reflects the wishes and needs of our community.”

Names for new pool considered

A SHORTLIST of names for the planned Mordialloc pool has been released.

The $79.2 million aquatic centre will be built near Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc. The federal government has committed $20 million to the project, and Kingston ratepayers are expected to cover the rest of the cost.

Last week, Kingston Council published five potential names for the new pool and asked for community feedback. The proposed names for

the new pool are the Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Baam Aquatic Centre, Mordi Pools, Mordi Aquatics, and Mordi Aquatic Centre.

Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said “this is the largest infrastructure project in our city’s history and represents a major investment in the long-term health, wellbeing, and aquatic education of our community and we really want people to leave their own mark on it.”

“We’ve had awesome buy-in from the community through all our con-

sultation stages up until now and I’d love to see thousands of people from all ages have their vote and help us settle on a name,” she said.

The new aquatic centre will replace the Don Tatnell Leisure Centre in Parkdale, which was knocked down due to structural issues. The Mordialloc site for the new pool cost Kingston Council $14.6 million. To vote on the pool’s new name visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/ name-the-pool. Brodie Cowburn

MP takes on ‘men’s behaviour change’

MORDIALLOC MP Tim Richardson has been appointed the first ever “parliamentary secretary for men’s behaviour change”. Premier Jacinta Allan announced the appointment last week. She said the position was created to address the attitude of men and boys towards women.

“Tim Richardson will become parliamentary secretary for men’s behaviour change, continuing the Allan Labor Government’s priority to make Victoria a safer place for women and children and work to end the tragedy of deaths of Victorian women at the hands of men,” she said. “This is the first position of its kind in Australia – and will focus largely on the influence the internet and social media have on boys’ and men’s attitudes towards women and building respectful relationships.”

Machines move away from stabling site

TUNNEL boring machines will launch from a Clarinda recycling site as part of the suburban rail loop project.

Last week the state government announced that it had scrapped its original plans to launch the machines from the train stabling at Heatherton, and would launch them from the Clarinda site instead. Suburban rail loop minister Danny Pearson said the move is a “great outcome for the communities near suburban rail loop work sites.”

“Delivering major projects of this scale requires ongoing consultation with the community and stakeholders – and we will continue to actively look for ways to minimise disruptions as much as we can,” he said. “I can’t wait to see tunnelling get underway in 2026 so that passengers are travelling through the SRL by 2035.”

Four tunnel boring machines are expected to be used instead of the originally announced six.

SRL East, the first section of the rail loop spanning from Cheltenham to Box Hill, is expected to be complete by 2035 and cost upwards of $30 billion. A contract to build 16 kilometres of twin tunnels between Cheltenham and Glen Waverley was awarded to a global consortium last year.

In the Spotlight

As the glitter settles following our third South Side Festival, it is the perfect time to reflect on the joy that an event like this brings to our community. I hope you were among the thousands who enjoyed it! With an impressive line-up boasting over 45 diverse events and shows, this year’s festival was the most spectacular yet. This annual celebration of arts and culture brings together local talent, venues, and locations, blending them with the best of the contemporary art scene.

One of the highlights for many was the neon wonderland at Frankston’s Beauty Park, featuring the enchanting Neon Fields installation. It is heart-warming to receive so much positive feedback, such as:

• “A diverse festival like this is so important in Frankston.”

• “Good to see there is competition with Sydney’s Vivid!”

• “I love the culture South Side Festival fosters in Frankston City!”

• “If there was a rating higher than 10, I would have given it. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!”

Don’t fret—the fun and festivities continue with more exciting events coming to Frankston this winter. For starters, we have Sound Cube coming to Frankston for the first time on the long weekend. This is a weekend of music showcasing some of our favourite bands and songwriters in our beloved Cube 37. All ages

are welcome, and this is a FREE event, but please register to guarantee your spot.

On Saturday, Frankston indie darlings The Belair Lip Bombs will play their first gig on home soil since returning from their European tour, supported by local legends Hey Spiro! and Gnome.

Sunday features the extraordinary and thrilling artist Bumpy, along with solo performances from the incredibly talented Velvet Bloom and Ella Dunshea.

In our Glass Cube exhibition space, Sokeiprim will be playing an open-to-close DJ set across both days.

And the entertainment doesn’t stop there! At the Frankston Arts Centre, we have an exciting line-up including Jimmy Barnes, Bjorn Again, An Evening with Vika & Linda, and tributes to Elvis, Tina Turner, and Pink Floyd. Don’t let the colder nights stop you from warming up your heart with these fantastic performances.

Frankston is truly alive with the arts, and we can’t wait to see you at these upcoming events. Stay warm, stay inspired, and keep celebrating the vibrant culture of our beautiful city!

Family violence victims need legal assistance

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

UNPRECEDENTED numbers of women are seeking legal aid to escape family violence, the Peninsula Community Legal Centre says.

The number of arrests for family incidents rose by more than 17 per cent in the Frankston municipality last year. In Kingston they slightly dropped compared to 2022, but there were still more than 1800 reported incidents.

The Peninsula Community Legal Centre, which offers free legal services in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula, says there has been a “dramatic increase” in the number of women seeking legal help on family law matters.

Around 60 per cent of the legal centre’s clients have experienced family violence. PCLC CEO Jackie Galloway said “the alarming spike in the number of women being killed around the country has led to a national conversation about family and gender-based violence. This has brought into sharp focus the intersecting nature of the national family violence, housing and cost of living crises.”

The free legal centre recently helped a woman who came to Victoria to escape violence keep her children by working with lawyers interstate.

“PCLC’s family law team recently assisted a woman and her two young daughters who fled across the country to live with the women’s parents in Victoria,” Galloway said. “The perpetrator made a court application for the children to be returned to him, despite his long history of family violence and the fact that the eldest daughter was not his biological child. This led to extremely complex legal proceedings in different states. PCLC’s family lawyer worked with a community legal centre in the other

state to successfully have the violent ex-partner’s application quashed, and also initiated family law proceedings for the mother to keep her children and remain safely in Victoria”.

Galloway said there are tens of thousands of women in similar situations who seek legal help every year. She said that without more funding, free legal centres will not be able to keep up with the number of women needing assistance.

“Due to limited funding, the number of women who receive help from community legal centres like PCLC and legal aid services is a tiny fraction of those who need it. We need a massive injection of funding and longer-term funding agreements. The government response to family violence needs to build on the knowledge acquired over several decades of experience and provide reliable and adequate funding to all of the intersecting front-line services that assist victim-survivors,” Galloway said. To contact the PCLC call 9783 3600 or email pclc@pclc.org.au.

Water park plans win approval

PLANS for a huge water park in Dingley Village have been approved by the state government.

The “SurfnPlay” water park is proposed for 321 Old Dandenong Road. Plans for the $120 million development show a giant outdoor pool, and indoor water slides and playgrounds.

The plan was given the green light by the state government last week. In its published decision it wrote that the water park would boost the state’s economy and promote tourism.

“The [planning scheme] amendment will allow for the use and development of the land for an aquatic park facility that will deliver considerable economic benefits in terms of direct investment, tourism and job creation, as well as a significant additional leisure and recreation resource for Victoria,” the planning decision read. “The proposed leisure and recreation use seeks to provide an offering that is presently absent from Metropolitan Melbourne in the form of a yearround, high quality indoor and outdoor surfing and aquatic park facility. The facility will provide a safe and healthy sport and recreation facility for families and surfers of all abilities and is expected to result in considerable net community benefit.

“The amendment is expected to facilitate a project which will benefit and strengthen Victoria’s competitive advantage in the tourism sector. This includes reducing escape expenditure interstate and interna-

tionally, supporting longer stays in Melbourne, and supporting further demand for local commercial, retail and commercial accommodation facilities and investment, through increased visitation to the area. The amendment is expected to encourage greater tourist expenditure in Victoria, noting that 767,000 visitations are expected in the first year; over a third of which are expected to be either interstate or international visitors.”

A statement published on the SurfnPlay Facebook page on Monday read that the new water park would be the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

“We are proud to share that SurfnPlay Aqua Park in Dingley Village is officially approved! Following the state government’s approval, we are now looking forward to making the southern hemisphere’s largest indoor-outdoor water park a reality, with its many waterslides, pools, play areas and outdoor lounge spaces for families set to add a major tourism attraction to Melbourne’s south east,” the statement read.

The state government estimated that the project would create nearly 300 ongoing jobs. It also estimates a little more than 300 jobs will be created during the construction phase.

The initial proposal was submitted to Kingston Council in March 2019.

The state government gazetted the planning scheme amendment for the water park on 30 May.

Pull out a hanky and prepare for this whip-smart, poignant, darkly witty and a little raunchy drama. Hahn is flawless as writer Clare; she’s pumping out advice in a self-help column while her own world crumbles amid her toxic marriage breakdown and her rebellious teenage daughter’s (Swift ’s Tanzyn Crawford) increasing estrangement. Told through flashbacks to Clare’s past with a stirring performance from Sarah Pidgeon as her young self, this tearjerking eight-part series dazzles with a crisp, piquant script.

Motorcyclist killed in Keysborough crash

A MOTORCYCLE driver was killed in a crash in Keysborough last week.

The motorbike driver was riding on Chandler Road when it collided with a car turning right from Elmbank Drive, police say. The crash occurred at around 7.30pm on 27 May.

The driver of the motorbike received CPR at the scene and was taken to hospital with lifethreatening-injuries. The 23-year-old Noble Park man died in hospital.

The 47-year-old woman police allege was driving the car stopped to assist and was unhurt.

The crash is being investigated by police. Any witnesses can assist investigators by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Drink drivers targeted

A RIDESHARE driver was among eight people allegedly caught driving over the legal alcohol limit on the Nepean Highway last week. Police conducted an operation on Nepean Highway overnight between 25 and 26 May. They conducted 3481 breath tests - eight people were found to be over the limit.

A rideshare driver allegedly blew 0.019. Rideshare drivers are not allowed to have any alcohol in their system.

A 29-year-old man who allegedly returned a breath test reading of 0.102 had his licence cancelled and disqualified for 10 months. A 37-year-old woman who allegedly refused to provide an oral fluid sample will be sum -

LETTERS

monsed to court at a later date.

Police also detected four unregistered vehicles, two unlicensed drivers, and caught one driver failing to follow a road sign.

Moorabbin highway patrol sergeant Megan Pattinson said “yet again we are seeing too many people not taking road safety seriously. Consuming alcohol – even just a couple of drinks – can severely impair your ability to make good decisions while behind the wheel.”

“It’s not just yourself you need to think about; it’s also your passengers and other road users whose lives could be cut short or impacted by a serious injury. Everyone needs to play their part in reducing road trauma, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by not drinking and driving,” Pattinson said.

Group assault investigated

POLICE are looking for a witness to a serious assault in Frankston in the hope of finding the culprits.

A 29-year-old man went to an abandoned building on Playne Street in Frankston at around 3.50pm on 20 April. Police allege he was approached by seven males and hit in the head and body. The offenders fled, and have not been arrested.

The victim walked away and collapsed in a nearby cinema car park. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries, and has not yet been released.

Police are investigating the attack. They wish to speak to a ute driver in the vicinity who may have witnessed the incident - the car was parked in the entrance to a building off Park Lane and the driver was wearing a highvis top, police say.

Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Potter review needed to restore faith in shire

Thanks Cr Anthony Marsh for continuing the push for scrutiny on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision making processes about the Harry Potter: A forbidden Forest Experience being held at the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars.

At the January Save Briars Sanctuary public meeting the mayor Cr Simon Brooks advised the packed venue that councillors were in favour of undertaking an analysis of the process that led to the approval of the largest event in the peninsula’s history being held in the sensitive and precious wildlife sanctuary at The Briars.

This commitment was well received and afforded some assurance that there would be critical evaluation and assessment of the shire’s processes and perhaps also its adherence to master plans that are the result of substantial community consultation and resources.

However, approximately one month ago on ABC Radio, the mayor informed listeners that the promised review was not going to be undertaken until after the Harry Potter event had concluded. Additionally, he revealed that it will be part of an overall event evaluation that would examine everything with respect to the success of the event.

We consider that this approach falls well short of the anticipated analysis. The popularity of this experience is not an indicator of good governance or operations.

A review of the council’s approval process should not be influenced by outcome - success or failure. The investigation should identify if there are shortcomings that need improvement. In this case, the outrage regarding location approval.

Now that Cr Marsh has alerted us to even more failings in the shire’s process, it is critical that no stone is left unturned (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 22/5/24). It is imperative

Search for missing man

A MAN has gone missing from Frankston Hospital.

Ronan, a 54-year-old man, was last seen leaving Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road on 28 May at around 3pm. He has been reported missing.

In a statement Victoria Police said “there are concerns for Ronan’s welfare as he has a medical condition which requires regular medication.”

“Ronan is Caucasian, about 170 cm tall with a slim build, long black hair and has tattoos on his legs and chest. He was dressed in black clothing, sunglasses and believed to be barefoot.”

An image of the missing man (below) has been released. Anyone with information can contact Frankston Police Station on 9784 5555 to assist with the search.

Redistribution planned

MORE of Dandenong and Keysborough will move into the Isaacs electorate under a proposed redistribution.

The Australian Electoral Commission has been drafting new boundaries for the federal House of Representatives. It released its proposed changes last week - 34 Victorian electorates will have their boundaries shifted if the plan proceeds.

Isaacs will gain more of Keysborough and Dandenong under the proposed changes, but lose parts of Moorabbin and Chelsea. Carrum, Bonbeach, and Patterson Lakes will move into Dunkley.

The new Dunkley boundaries will see most of Mt Eliza transferred into the Flinders electorate. The northern boundary has moved to compensate.

The AEC is accepting feedback on its proposed changes until 6pm on Friday, 28 June. To view the plans and make a submission visit aec.gov.au/redistributions/2023/vic/proposedredistribution/

THE AEC’s proposed new boundary for Isaacs (blue) and its existing boundary

These instances and, potentially, the “several other examples” referred to by Cr Marsh, represent a failure of ethics, not just of process.

that some confidence and faith in our shire is restored by an honest and transparent review. Louise Page, Tyabb

Community misled

Cr Anthony Marsh has alerted to us to the game playing that is now occurring regarding a review of the processes leading to approval of the Harry Potter event at The Briars wildlife sanctuary (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 22/5/24).

Senior officers and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council must have known that this decision would be highly controversial and distressing to the community. To keep plans secret until tickets were already being sold, to mislead the community regarding the thoroughness of the reports that was the basis for the decision, and then to deflect any embarrassing questions with the nondisclosure defence could be seen as an attempt to blindside residents into a situation of having to accept the decision, despite major misgivings. In doing, so they caused much pain and anguish for locals, many of whom have devoted significant time and effort at The Briars in the belief that the master plan preserved and protected the beloved wildlife sanctuary. This is not the first time that this council has disregarded an approved master plan (the result of significant shire resources and effort by community) in order to favour powerful vested interest. The Tyabb Airport Precinct Plan is another. It has been subsequently ignored by the shire, leaving residents to fight their own battles at VCAT in an effort to protect Tyabb’s rural amenity. Furthermore, Peninsula Aero Club was given $350,000 of ratepayer money – another decision that was made behind closed doors and leaves many questions unanswered.

Shire officers and councillors need to remember who they represent and must be open and accountable for how and why these decisions were made.

Palestine to stop. We can assist both wars more convincingly, but we must jettison from the wings of the USA to then become a true force to be reckoned with. We should make our own decisions.

Danger from religion

It’s about time the people still excusing the behaviour of [Israel’s prime minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and his troops in Gaza face up to the reality that crimes against humanity by one side, don’t excuse the same and worse by the other side.

We could have had peace and a two state resolution of this sad situation in the 1990s if the extreme right of Israel wouldn’t have assassinated Yitzhak Rabbin.

Ever since, Israeli governments have been the stumbling block to a two state solution and encouraged the atrocious behaviour of the religious nutters in the West Bank. Beware politics and religion ever getting too close in Australia.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Send coal to Ukraine

“Winter is going to kill us”: Ukraine ambassador’s plea for Australian coal, heartfelt and to the point. Australia’s response? They support Ukraine in other ways.

The government should be ashamed of such a miserly act for excuses made for not sending coal to Ukraine.

Coal is used for thermal power, heating, and electricity, especially for industry, so they can keep going. In simple terms, it is a matter of survival. This coal is needed for heating during the bitter Ukrainian winter months ahead.

Denying the shipment to Ukraine means that the children will freeze, the elderly die from the cold, and the doctors and nurses will try to keep hospitals from freezing over.

We have so much coal which, I might add, we send to many other countries.

We all want the war between Ukraine and Russia to end and the war between Israel and

Until then, prioritise correctly, whether it’s Labor or the Coalition. Anne Kruger, Rye

Restrict alcohol

Frankston Council has a policy of rubber stamping liquor licenses for off premises liquor sales, which means alcohol can be taken home and cause drunkenness and violence to women and children.

Alcohol has historically been associated with family violence and voices are being raised to stop delivery of alcohol to homes to try and stop the scourge of family violence.

The council should stop its support of take away alcohol licenses and do something constructive to stop family violence in Frankston. Russell

Alleged Disturbance at Hastings Methodist Church

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A DISGRACEFUL disturbance is alleged to have taken place on Sunday night last, when the congregation of the Hastings Methodist Church were subjected to a great deal of annoyance by some hooligans, who, not content with mocking the minister from outside the church, deliberately threw a length of spouting into the church amongst the congregation.

This caused great consternation amongst the worshippers and a couple of the members of the church went out from the church and pursued the perpetrators of this wanton outrage. However, they were unable to come up with the culprits, as the pursuers were subjected to a bombardment of stones.

It is further alleged that this is not the first time that churchgoers have been subjected to attacks of this kind, and the people are hopeful that this will be the last, it being believed that hands can be put on the guilty persons.

If this should be so, the offenders are perhaps not aware that they are liable to imprisonment without the option of a fine.

Trespassing on the Railway

Quite recently a number of cases have been heard in the various suburban courts of trespassing on the railway.

The offence, generally being where belated travellers have take a shortcut across the line and reached the station per medium of the platform end, on which is exhibited a notice: “No Road.”

While it may appear to the unthinking portion of the public to be somewhat drastic in proceeding against reputable citizens for thus offending, it must be remembered that if some action of the kind were not taken, the practice would become general, and the public become so familiar, with the danger as to treat it with contempt, unnecessarily, endangering life and limb.

The public, therefore, should take heed of the warnings thus exhibited, as with the increase of electric trains these accidents must be averted if it is at all possible, and one of the methods of prevention is to insist on travellers approaching and leaving the railway stations by the properly constructed entrances and exits.

While it may appear hard for the person, who, perhaps may have offended for the first time, to be caught and fined, the Commissioners find it to be imperative to strictly enforce the regulations.

The pavilion is now well on the way to completion. The showers, etc., will be installed for Saturday next.

Players who went to Sorrento will long remember the trip. Numerous breakdowns were the cause of much trouble.

Preparations are new on hand for the gymkhana to be held on King’s birthday (Monday next). A good time is assured.

Somerville Dramatic Club is now at work on a new farce, which promises to eclipse all previous efforts. They received a grand reception at Mornington on Thursday night, May 29. It is good to see some of the older players hop in with the boys. Fred Murray, Somerville’s old forward, showed his sportsmanship on Saturday by lending a hand.

Artificial Limbs – Returned Soldiers’ Requirements

“As a result of their war experiences,

approximately 4000 members of the Australian Imperial Force lost arms or legs, the proportion being one arm to three legs.”

This statement was made by the chairman of the Repatriation Commission (Mr. J. M. Semmens).

Since the return to Australia of these men, he added, the Repatriation Commission had undertaken the supply of artificial limbs, and it was the opinion of experts that it was now supplying an artificial leg superior to any other wooden limb produced in the world.

The commission had lately communicated with the British Ministry of Pensions with regard to the use of light metal limbs, and it was now the intention to issue to suitable men who have suffered above the knee amputations a combination metal and willow leg, which would be lighter than the all-willow leg.

In the near future it was hoped to issue an all-metal limb. The Commonwealth had purchased the license of the Aunger arm and the Australian rights of the Bowler arm (a Canadian production).

These working arms were so constructed that the wearer could use a spade, a pick, and bench tools, such as planes, and braces, and hammer.

In some instances the arms were rendering excellent service.

Other, surgical aids, including boots, splints, shields, supports, and spinal jackets, were being designed and made in the Commonwealth Artificial Limb factory.

Charity rugby raises money

RUGBY

By Brodie Cowburn

A CHARITY rugby match in Seaford last weekend raised more than $8000 for cystic fibrosis research and care.

The match between Frankston Raiders and Eastern Raptors last Sunday was the brainchild of eight-year-old Spencer Quinnell. The young rugby fanatic lives with cystic fibrosishis two younger brothers Teddy and Stanley also have the genetic disorder.

Approximately $8500 was raised for CFCC and MonashCF last weekend. Spencer Quinnell’s mother Liv said that she was “truly blown away” by the support.

“Spencer’s dream became real

ity. The day was phenomenal - the grounds were filled with people smiling, cheering him on, digging deep, asking questions about cystic fibrosis, or educating others about cystic fibrosis which was just amazing,” she said.

“The day ended with some big news that NRL Vic Masters were so impressed with Spencer’s initiative and drive that they have offered Frankston Raiders Masters to hold the first tournament round next year, and invited Spencer to use the round as an opportunity to raise further awareness of cystic fibrosis.”

Spencer Quinnell has taken part in fundraising events for cystic fibrosis for the last few years (“Young rugby fan’s cystic fibrosis fundraiser” The News 14/5/24).

It’s the Keegan Myatt show

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

BAXTER players and supporters were euphoric at the final whistle after witnessing one of the club’s greatest comebacks in Saturday’s State 4 showdown at Westernport.

Each year local rivals Somerville Eagles and Baxter use their league fixtures to compete for the Eagles Cup which raises money for research into motor neurone disease.

It’s a clash that rarely disappoints and last weekend diminutive Baxter winger Keegan Myatt stole the show with a 16-minute hat-trick that turned this contest on its head.

With 10 minutes of normal time remaining Baxter was staring down the barrel.

Goals from Somerville’s Tom Simmons, Howie Anderson and Joe Simmons and an own goal from teammate Connor Carson had produced a 3-1 scoreline and the Eagles Cup was heading in Somerville’s direction.

But Myatt threw Baxter a lifeline in the 80th minute when Brody Taylor got free down the right and squared the ball to the far post for Myatt to slide in and make it 3-2.

Odds remained stacked in the home team’s favour but in the 94th minute Aiden McKenna’s long ball to the far post was headed in by Myatt who had stolen the goalside position from his opponent.

Surely that was that but Myatt had other ideas.

In the 96th minute Somerville couldn’t clear from McKenna’s long throw and Myatt was the player in a packed penalty area that somehow volleyed the loose ball into the far corner for an unexpected winner.

Defender Izaak Barr and attacking midfielder Nat Daher have left Baxter.

Daher is unsure of his next move but is expected to train with Seaford this week while a knee injury has sidelined Barr.

Baxter’s home game against Keysborough this weekend will be the last for one of the club’s overseas contingent, Tomonari Miyazaki, who will return to Japan due to an illness in his family.

In other State 4 news Chelsea defeated visitors Sandown Lions 3-0 in a spiteful encounter at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

The less said about this one the better.

Daniel Vella, Harry Salisbury and Jake Ross scored.

Mentone picked up three points in a 3-1 win over Springvale City at Ross Reserve on Friday night.

The visitors went in front in the 34th minute when Marcus Spivey forced home keeper Kadir Puric into spilling the ball and Cameron Ironside calmly finished from the tightest of angles.

Springvale equalised on the hour mark when Mentone failed to deal with a dangerous inswinging free-kick headed home by Edim Lolic. Mentone brought on Tyler Pollard and Joe Dunbar and it was Pollard in his 100th game for the visitors who cooly converted from the penalty spot on 79 minutes after Peter Varsamis had been brought down.

Ten minutes later Dunbar robbed a defender then charged forward before playing in Spivey whose finish secured the win.

In VPL1 news Langwarrin lost 1-0 away to North Geelong last weekend.

The decisive moment came in the 74th minute when Sonny Brimmer was on the end of a ball that had bounced over the outstretched leg of Lucas Portelli and he slotted his shot past Langy keeper Griffin Bambach.

In State 1 news controversial decisions and questionable goalkeeping highlighted Mornington’s 2-2 away draw with Springvale White Eagles on Friday night.

Mornington keeper Kane Runge and White Eagles counterpart Thomas Hull had nights they’d rather forget while an assistant linesman played a crucial role in denying Mornington striker Rory Currie from breaking clear on goal from an onside position.

That same official flagged for an infringement in the White Eagles penalty area in the dying moments of the clash that ruled out a Mornington goal from a set piece.

The home side led at half-time after Runge parried a shot into the path of Goran Zoric who finished from point-blank range.

Six minutes into the second half Hull failed to cut out a Ryan Paczkowski cross from the left and James Clark was at the back post to steer the loose ball home.

White Eagles were back in front in the 70th minute after a low shot from outside the area beat Runge’s dive at the near post.

But the Seagulls wouldn’t be denied and seven minutes later Luke Burgess equalised capitalising at the near post from a Paczkowski free-kick.

David Stirton came off the bench for his first run of the season.

Due to work commitments Craig Lewis has stepped down from his role as senior assistant to Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson.

“I have a new job involving a lot of international travel,” Lewis said.

“I’m disappointed because I really enjoyed being with the group and I enjoyed working with ‘Jamo’.”

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers lost 2-0 at Centenary Park on Saturday to promotion rival Bayside Argonauts.

The visitors boast the biggest budget in the league and flexed their financial muscle recently with the capture of Scott Jamieson while fellow Socceroo Bernie Ibini is expected to join him shortly.

Strikers gaffer Scott Morrison had a blunt assessment of the opening exchanges.

“We didn’t show up for the first 25 minutes and we were made to pay because of it,” he said.

The visitors struck in the 4th minute with a superb first-time volley from Liam McKenna and increased the margin in the 19th minute when a Jesse Devers’ cross set up Mitch Cooper for a tap-in at the back post.

Strikers did well to keep their opponent to two goals going into half-time and although the home side had the better of the second half its best chance couldn’t be converted by Riley Anderton who headed wide.

Skye United’s home game against Greater Dandenong on Friday night was abandoned after 24 minutes due to a serious knee injury to one of the visitors’ teenagers.

Play was immediately halted and an ambulance called but after a long wait a private vehicle was driven onto the pitch and the injured player taken to hospital.

In State 3 news Frankston Pines fought back

since late last season amid fears that he may not play again.

Aspendale took the lead in the 22nd minute when a slide-rule pass from James Macnab allowed Taylan Yildirim to run onto the ball and finish well.

Aspendale had dominated periods of play in the first half but it was a different story in the second period as Mount Eliza gained more possession and created some good chances.

The home side drew level in the 53rd minute when Callum Drysdale headed home from a corner and from then on it was an end-to-end affair.

The winner came from a lung-bursting run by Aspendale left back Callum Norris who charged forward from inside his own half and into the box before hammering home a firm shot in the 90th minute.

Mujtaba Sakhi, who was recruited during the off-season, has left Mount Eliza and returned to former club White Star Dandenong.

Rosebud sits on top of the table after Saturday’s 5-0 home win over Pakenham United. This one was done and dusted by half-time after goals from Billy Painting, Dougie Cunnison, Caleb Davies and Barney Johnson.

Cunnison scored his sixth penalty this year and for the second successive week it came from a foul that stopped the surging run of man-of-thematch Davies who was a constant threat when running at defenders.

Substitute Jakob Markulin had a great day out rounding off the scoreline in the second half after scoring the reserves’ curtain raiser.

from 2-0 down to draw level eventually losing 3-2 to a late goal for home side Sandringham last weekend.

Michael Wright and Sam Delaney scored for Pines who have the chance to get a first win of the season when facing second-bottom side Elwood at Monterey Reserve this Friday night.

In State 5 news former Mount Eliza coach Alex Halikias has been found not guilty of two serious charges laid against him by Football Victoria.

The charges followed the abandonment of the Mount Eliza v Barton United round 5 fixture at Emil Madsen Reserve in April.

Referee Farhad Sharif sent off Halikias and his offence was given an R8.2 grading which covers offences against officials and if proven carries an automatic five-week suspension.

Halikias also faced a more serious charge of bringing the game into disrepute (an MP10 infringement) and if proven the length of suspension is at the tribunal’s discretion.

Halikias consistently disputed referee Sharif’s version of events and feels vindicated by the tribunal decision.

“I think Mount Eliza might have a lot of egg on their face right now because they sacked me without a proper hearing and well before I went up in front of the tribunal,” Halikias said.

Halikias claims that he was unfairly dismissed by Mount Eliza and is expected to seek payment of unpaid coaching fees.

Since Halikias’ departure technical director Gary Talbot and reserves coach Graeme Ferguson have stepped into caretaker roles with the senior squad but that ended last week when former Berwick and Doveton head coach and Mornington assistant Gerry McDonagh was appointed to the senior position.

McDonagh’s first game in charge didn’t go to plan though as Mount Eliza lost 2-1 to Aspendale at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday.

The home side was without number one keeper Luke Armao who is holidaying overseas and found out three hours before the game that its back-up keeper was also unavailable due to work commitments.

Up stepped reserves striker Caleb Best making his senior debut albeit in goal.

The game also marked the return to senior action of Jordan Vacouftsis who entered the fray as a second-half substitute having been sidelined

The result sets up an intriguing clash at North Seaford Reserve this weekend against fellow title chaser Seaford United who was held to a 3-3 draw away to Bunyip District on Saturday. Dion Pavlic put Bunyip 2-0 up early in the contest but Blake Hicks was at the back post to head home from a Paul Aitchison cross and it was 2-2 at half-time after Naseer Mohammad got free to glance his header past Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo.

Ten minutes after the restart Seaford hit the front when Backy Barakzoi’s low shot from outside the area was deflected past Biondo. But Seaford has conceded late equalisers this season against FC Noble Hurricanes and Barton and history repeated when the visitors didn’t deal with a long throw allowing Tynan North to seal their fate.

Michael Nobbs (overseas for a family wedding), Nathan Meade (on holiday), Sam Luxford (injured) and Josh Vega (work commitments) missed this game but only Nobbs is expected to be unavailable for the Rosebud clash.

Mount Martha celebrated its opening win of the season on Friday night when it beat Cleeland United 5-3 at Thomas P Carroll Reserve. David Jones and Daniel Bancroft both scored twice with Zachary Foad also on the scoresheet for the locals.
