A BOOK of five superheroes created by Frankston primary school students (Amber, Ellie and Charli pictured). was launched on Thursday 9 July at Frankston Library, as a joint project between Anglicare Victoria’s Communities for Children Frankston program and Mission Australia.
Finding your superpower: An adventure with Ash and friends tells the story of five characters representing environmentalism, learning, safety, health, and kindness. It was developed with the school children, and based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which sets out 54 rights for children worldwide. See story page 5.

Decade of plans for Frankston unveiled
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
FRANKSTON Council has unveiled its long-term plan for the next decade, with a focus on “asset renewal, city beautification, and activation”.
Frankston Council’s long-term infrastructure plan was presented at council’s 13 July meeting, shortly after publication deadline. It is the seventh revision of the long-term plan.
The plan outlines funding priorities for council over the next decade. A mes-
sage from the mayor Cr Sue Baker in the plan read “as our city continues to grow and evolve, thoughtful long-term planning is essential. Council is committed to transparency, accountability and excellence in its infrastructure decisionmaking, and the LTIP plays a vital role in ensuring our investments meet both current needs and the expectations of future generations.”
“Victoria’s population is forecast to grow significantly over coming decades, with the majority of this growth anticipated in Greater Melbourne and its outer suburbs. Frankston is well placed to wel-
come this growth, and this plan ensures we are prepared, delivering infrastructure that supports liveability, economic opportunity and environmental sustainability,” Cr Baker said.
“While continuing to deliver key projects, Ccuncil has refined its approach within the LTIP to place greater emphasis on asset renewal, city beautification and activation, ensuring our city remains welcoming, vibrant and well cared for.
“Council’s 10-Year LTIP is reviewed annually as part of Council’s budget process, ensuring it remains responsive to emerging priorities and community
needs. I look forward to seeing this plan guide continued investment as we work together to build a strong and sustainable future for Frankston.”
The plan notes that the proposed projects “require close collaboration and partnerships with the federal and state government, private-sector, community partners, and adjoining municipalities.”
The plan proposed $550 million in spending over the next ten years, including $308 million for “renewing assets”, $134 million upgrading and expanding existing assets, and $106
million for the development of new infrastructure.
Projects proposed in the long-term plan include improvements to the Seaford Village Shopping Strip and Seaford Beach Street East Shopping Strip in years four to six of the plan. Within the seven to ten years timeframe, improvements are proposed for Beach Street Central Shopping Strip, Frankston Belvedere Shopping Strip Improvements, Seaford Long Street Shopping Strip, and the Keys Street streetscape in Langwarrin.

Long-term plan for new projects
Continued from page 1
Multiple kindergarten upgrades have been proposed for the next decade. They include works at Bowerbird Pre-School in Carrum Downs, Joy Street Kindergarten & MCH, Frankston Wonnai Pre-School, Seaford Heights Kindergarten & MCH, and Seaford Bayport Pre-School in years four to six. In the sports and recreation space, the implementation of master plans at Kananook Reserve and Seaford Centenary Park Golf Course are proposed. In years four to six, works are planned for Yamala Reserve, Baxter Park, the Davey Richardson Pavilion, and Belvedere Reserve. Works proposed for years seven to ten include projects at Frankston South Centenary Park
Numerous parks and public spaces were named as funding priorities in the long-term plan, including George Pentland Botanic Gardens, Baxter Park, Delacombe Park, Bruce Aitken Reserve, the Oliver’s Hill Lookout, and Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Arboretum.
The plan features arts projects, including proposals for the Frankston Street Art Festival, Open Access Libraries, Frankston Library Forecourt, and Frankston Arts Centre theatre seat replacements. Road projects included in the plan
include shared user path construction works at Fletcher Road for the Frankston Station to Baxter Trail, Eel Race Road from Station Street to Patterson River Secondary College, Frankston-Dandenong Road from Boundary Road to Thompsons Road, and Warrandyte Road from Bevnol Road to Robinsons Road. With dozens of long-term projects on the radar, the plan noted the funding priorities for council ahead of the upcoming state election this year. Its “tier one” projects to advocate for are the $1.75 million Bruce Park Pavilion Redevelopment, the $2 million Len Phelps Pavilion Refurbishment, $200,000 for the Langwarrin Men’s Shed Upgrade, and $5.85 million for the “Connected Neighbourhoods” program.

Care service transition complete
THOSE affected by Frankston Council’s cuts to community and aged care services have completed their transitions to a new provider, Kingston Council’s AccessCare.
In late 2025, Frankston Council announced it would phase out multiple services, including personal care, domestic assistance including house cleaning and unescorted shopping, respite care, Home and Community Care Program for Younger People assessment services, meals on wheels and delivered meals for HACC-PYP clients, home maintenance and modifications including gutter cleaning, flexible service response, and social support individual escorted shopping. Kingston Council service provider AccessCare was later confirmed to be taking over selected Commonwealth Home Support Programme services, and Brotherhood of St. Laurence was appointed the new provider for the Home and Community Care Program for Younger People program (“New provider for council care services” The Times 23/6/2026).
The transition date for affected clients was at the start of July. Kingston Council issued a statement last week confirming that the transition had concluded.
“The City of Kingston would like to warmly welcome the former Frankston City Council clients to AccessCare. The transition of clients has been completed, with services to our new clients commencing from 1 July 2026,” Kingston Council said. “To our existing clients we would like to extend our thanks for your continued support through this period. Our aim has always been to minimise impact to you throughout the transition and to continue to provide the high-quality care and support you know and trust.
“To support the uninterrupted delivery of services for both existing and new clients, a detailed transition plan has ensured adequate resourcing through recruitment of a new team to ensure new clients can begin services from 1 July. Funding is supported by the Commonwealth Government.
MiCare
ACCESSCARE
Therefore, this will not result in additional costs to City of Kingston residents.
“AccessCare remains committed to providing reliable, high-quality support to all clients.”
Frankston Council resolved to cease many of its care services in a confidential meeting last year.
The decision came amid the federal government’s aged care reforms, which featured major changes to aged care funding.
In a statement issued after the decision last year, Frankston Council said its decision “aligns with national aged care reforms that are transforming how services are funded and delivered across Australia.”
“All clients and staff have been personally notified of council’s decision, with detailed information provided on what it means for their services or roles. Staff will be supported through this change, including opportunities for redeployment and upskilling. A dedicated community care transition team has been established to guide clients through the process, and all affected staff are being supported through internal redeployment opportunities and sector transition pathways,” Frankston Council said. (“Council confirms care cuts”, The Times 4/11/2026)
To contact AccessCare call 1300 819 200 or email info@accesscare.org.au.
Plan to prevent family violence
THE future of Frankston Council’s family violence prevention initiatives is under consideration.
A proposal was raised for this week’s council meeting asking for a review into whether the current funding levels for family violence initiatives are adequate. The motion, raised by Cr Kris Bolam, read there has been “no funding uplift” for family violence measures “since 2022”.
“Council requests a report to the September 2026 Council Meeting assessing the current approach to family violence amelioration and identifying opportunities to enhance service effectiveness,” the motion read. “The report is to outline evidence-based options and recommended next steps to strengthen outcomes, including any proposed service improvements, partnerships, or delivery models.”
The matter was scheduled for Council’s 13 July meeting, which took place shortly after publication deadline.

Frankston kids create superhero book
Sarah Halfpenny sarah@baysidenews.com.au
A
BOOK of five superheroes created by Frankston primary school students was launched on Thursday 9 July at Frankston Library, as a joint project between Anglicare Victoria’s Communities for Children Frankston program and Mission Australia.
Finding your superpower: An adventure with Ash and friends tells the story of five characters representing environmentalism, learning, safety, health, and kindness. It was developed with the school children, and based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which sets out 54 rights for children worldwide.
“It was an idea amongst the team,” said Communities for Children Frankston’s Erin Crockett. “It was only around the end of last year that it formulated, so it’s happened really quickly.”
Six workshops were held with six local primary schools earlier this year, engaging students in Grades Three and Four to help shape each superhero and their story. Separately, almost 600 students across eight schools voted on which of the five superheroes Frankston needed most, with Heartina Hug, who represents kindness, emerging as the winner.
The workshops involved Ballam Park Primary School, Frankston Primary School, Kananook Primary School, Karingal Heights Primary School, Mahogany Rise Primary School, Naranga School and St John’s Catholic Primary School.
The five superheroes are linked through the story’s narrator, Ash, a boy who meets each character while riding his bike.
“Along the way Ash meets all these superheroes and gets them to help him on his journey with their superpowers,” said Crockett.
The superhero illustrations were designed by Blue Giant, incorporating feedback gathered from children during the workshops.
Mission Australia came on board after being approached by Communities for Children Frankston, funding the book’s publication and running the launch event.
“Communities for Children explained they were working with the school kids to create this book, and they felt that through our connection with families and parents, we might be able to also have a little bit of collaboration with them,” said Mission Australia’s Lorna Jordan. “We come into the part of being able to pay for the publishing of the book, to be able to bring the book to life, and to be
“We were asking specific questions about the superheroes,” said Crockett. “Where would they find them in Frankston, what superpowers would they have, how would they make you feel – and from that we were able to then create a narrative of that superhero for the book, based all on the children’s voices of how they described them.”

able to share that book within the community, and also undertake the launch.”
The book includes a QR code linking to Mission Australia’s Parent Pathways program, a free service supporting parents of children under six as they work towards education, employment and stronger community connections.
“Our programme is called Parent Pathways, and it’s about working with parents who have children under the age of six,” said Jordan. “We work with those parents to help them create some goals, so that when
their children go off to school and they need to go off and find employment, we’ve got them all set up and ready to be able to do that – not just into everyday jobs, but jobs that are purposeful and meaningful for them. It’s a free, voluntary service, and it’s very easy for parents to get in touch and find out if they’re eligible.”
Jordan said the partnership had run smoothly from the outset, with the two organisations finding a natural fit in their shared purpose within the community.
“There weren’t any hiccups along the way,” said Jordan. “It’s a good
example of two organisations with a common purpose – Communities for Children take the children to their programs, and the parents of those children probably need some of the support we can offer as well, so it worked really well. We have very similar purposes behind our organisations – we both just want to enhance what’s out there in community and lift the profile of the community for families.”

Shire backs revised Emil Madsen funding plan after pavilion setback
Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has voted to seek approval to reallocate remaining Emil Madsen Reserve upgrade funding after the Australian government rejected a deadline extension.
The decision relates to the $15m Priority Community Infrastructure program upgrade of Emil Madsen Reserve, which has already delivered upgrades including the Eastern Pavilion.
In May, council submitted a request to use an estimated $5m underspend, combined with $6.6m in council contributions, to construct the Western Pavilion. The request also sought to extend the project timeframe to October 2028.
The federal government has rejected the bid and said all works must be completed by 30 June 2027.
At the 29 June council meeting, councillors unanimously voted to submit a request to redirect the funds into other upgrades which can be completed by June 2027.
Cr Bruce Ranken, who moved the motion, said the decision required council to change directions after the extension was refused.
“Our request to extend the delivery time frame was not supported by the funding body,” said Ranken.
“That was a disappointing outcome, and I wanted to really acknowledge the work that went into making the case, but we still do not sit in the place of disappointment, we adapt.”
Under the revised request, proposed works may include lighting upgrades, “Oval 2” reconstruction, upgraded spectator areas, behind goal netting, and site access improvements.
“Every dollar that was committed to this precinct should stay in this precinct,” said Ranken.
“Rather than returning these funds, we’re seeking approval to redirect them towards other priority projects already identified in the precinct’s masterplan.”
Ranken highlighted the importance of the reserve and its impact on the community.
“It’s the kind of place that quietly holds the community together,” said Ranken.
Ranken said the Western Pavilion is in need of an upgrade and council will continue to advocate for funds to be allocated towards the project.
“It is a shovel ready project - the design work is done,” said Ranken.
“The existing Western Pavilion has reached the end of its life and no longer meets the standards of our community and clubs and their members.”
Cr Paul Pingiaro agreed and said the Western Pavilion remains the highest priority for sporting pavilion redevelopment for the shire.
“We’ve done all we can and now we move into a state election with detailed plans and designs for a pavilion,” said Pingiaro.
“The club will be ready to go; the council’s ready to go with $6.6m on the table and now we have to advocate to the state to hopefully get this up.”
He said council is looking for a partner to help deliver the Western Pavilion project.
“So, anyone that wants to partner with us as a council... we are ready to deliver,” said Pingiaro.
Cr David Gill raised concerns over the amount of funding being allocated to the one area and reserve.
“This whole funding episode seems to be focused on one area, when we could have had funding for a much wider area in the community,” said Gill.
Ranken highlighted the high usage of the reserve as the reason for the large investment.
“I’m sure that if there were other sporting precincts down at Flinders or anywhere on the on the peninsula that had the same usage as this particular precinct, that council would be supporting spending to those sorts of precincts,” said Ranken.
“But this is one of the highest usage areas and there’s thousands and thousands of people there every weekend.”
Council officers will now submit a revised request to the federal government to secure approval for the redirection of funds. If approved, all federal funds will need to be used by 30 June 2027.
Hospitality program builds skills and confidence
By Sarah Halfpenny
BRENDAN Wiseman works shifts at Cafe W in Seaford and Sages Café in Baxter as part of a hospitality career the 23-year-old has built over the past year.
Wiseman, who lives with an intellectual disability, joined disability employment provider Wallara Australia after finishing school to explore different job paths. He has since gained experience in coffee-making, customer service and food safety.
“It’s good for your mental health to interact with people. You don’t want to be isolated,” said Wiseman.
“I’ve progressed in choosing what to say around people and increased my social network. It’s really good.” Wiseman has gained his Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate and an accredited food safety certificate, and now also volunteers behind the bar at his local football club.
His mother, Trudy De Vries, said the change in her son had been significant.
“Before Wallara, we had no idea what the future would look like,” said De Vries.
“Now he has confidence, social skills, and is part of the community.” Nationally, people with disability face an unemployment rate more than double that of the general population – 7.5% compared with 3.1% in 2022, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
Just 23% of NDIS participants in the labour force were in full-awardwage open employment as at late 2023–24, AIHW data shows.
Wallara’s hospitality employees have served more than 43,000 coffees over the past 12 months across
five venues on the peninsula and in Melbourne’s east, including the two Wiseman works at.
More than 40 supported employees currently work across Wallara’s hospitality venues, according to senior manager of hospitality Mary Hannett.
“For clients transitioning from Wallara’s hospitality day programs into supported employment, the journey is designed to build hospitality skills, confidence and experience while supporting employment goals,” said Hannett.
“Guided by qualified chefs and baristas, clients develop practical skills in a supportive environment while connecting with customers, colleagues and the wider community.”
Wallara’s hospitality pathway begins in its Learning and Lifestyle day programs, which run across eight locations. General manager of Learning and Lifestyle Romaine Kakoulilis said Wiseman’s progress reflected what the program aims to achieve.
“It’s where Brendan started, exploring what he was good at and what he enjoyed,” said Kakoulilis.
“The pathway into supported and open employment takes time, the right opportunities and great coaching. Brendan’s journey shows what is possible when all those pieces come together.”

Beach Road officially opened by shire president
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
NOT many years ago Beach Road was covered with ti-tree, with only a track for vehicles to pass through. In quite a number of places the road was practically impassable and a detour had to be made to Cranbourne road involving a distance of a mile further for residents living at the east end of the road.
Some of the land in the vicinity of Beach Road commands a magnificent outlook over the bay, and for this reason when opened up for subdivisional purposes was eagerly bought by those anxious to secure homes in close proximity to the railway station and beach.
It was not long before most of those people, known as week-enders, became permanent residents, and today there are from sixty to seventy houses which are occupied all the year round.
As the houses went up and the residents became more numerous an effort was made by some of the residents to have the road made, the result being that a progress association was formed, and became widely known as the East Frankston Progress Association.
The first meeting was held at the residence of Mr. F. Daly, who will be remembered as having carried out the secretarial duties of the association for a considerable period. He, with others, were persistent in their endeavours to have the road made.
Requests were made to the shire council; deputations were also arranged to the Minister of Public Works, and the association, in conjunction with the council, was at last successful in securing a loan of £1000
for the making of Beach Road, with the result that a metal road has been formed right through to Cranbourne Road.
To mark the occasion of the opening of the road, the East Frankston Progress Association arranged for an official ceremony.
This was held on Saturday afternoon last when, in the presence of a large number of Beach Road residents and others, the Shire president (Cr. F. H. Wells) declared the road open.
Mrs. Thomas, wife of Mr. Thomas, who is vice-president of the association, cut the ribbon, after which a motor car conveying Cr. F. H. Wells, Mr. E. W. Thomason, Cr. Oates and others, drove over the road.
They expressed pleasure at the manner in which the work had been carried out.
Mr. E. W. Thomason, president of the East Frankston Progress Association, in stating the object of the ceremony, said that the residents felt that in addition to having the road declared open, opportunity , would be taken to convey to those who had worked so hard for the road the appreciation of their efforts.
A year ago it was impossible to drive through this road to the Cranbourne Road. Today, said the speaker, the residents have a metal road right through.
Many deputations had to be arranged before the Government would make a grant available, and it was only by the bull-dog persistency of the riding councillors and a few others that success was achieved.
The road would be a big asset to this part of the district, and result in many
new houses being built in the near future. The rates and taxes derived from this part of the shire within the next year or two should enable the council to arrange for footpaths and channels to be made. (Applause).
The speaker, in conclusion, said he hoped all present who were not members of the East Frankston Progress Association would soon join up and assist to effect further improvements for the advancement of Beach Road residents and the town generally. (Applause).
Cr. F. H. Wells (shire president), said that he knew the locality of Beach Road well, as it was adjoining his native home.
He esteemed it an honour and a great pleasure to be present to perform the opening ceremony of the road.
Cr. Wells said that 25 years ago the land in the vicinity was offered to him at a very cheap rate. Only a few years ago it was all in the possession of one owner.
Later it was cut up into allotments, and the first allotment to be sub-divided was that of the late Mr Addicott, who disposed of the blocks very quickly.
Cr. Wells said he thought at the time that Mr. Addicott was a bit premature in subdividing his land, but could see later that the gentleman referred to was long sighted.
It was true, said the speaker, that ti-tree from 20 to 30 feet high was growing in Beach Road only a few years ago. There were at present about 70 houses erected in the vicinity of East Frankston, and in another five years’ time there would be a consider-
PUZZLE ZONE
able number of additional residents, who would be encouraged to make their homes in the district with a decent road. As a council, continued the shire president, we are doing our best to have both roads and private streets made. We are also extending the electric light as far as possible, and I hope to see all the houses on the estates near this road connected up before the summer. (Applause).
Cr. Oates said it gave him great pleasure to be present to take part in the opening ceremony. There was no doubt about hard work having been done before the road could be made.
It was made possible only by the council borrowing money which included £1000 for Beach Road.
The loan was made available to the council by paying £ for £. We as a council are pleased to see the work being appreciated. The valuation of properties in this district now will pay for the interest and sinking fund on the £1000.
The speaker, continuing, said that allotments were being sold every day on the estates adjoining Beach Road. The land was cheap, near the beach and railway station, and it was certain that a big development would take place in the hear future. (Applause).
Cr. Oates, concluding, said he hoped that East Frankston would still continue to progress. (Applause). ***
On Saturday morning last at about 3 o’clock, the premises occupied by Mr. Cummerford, Seaford, on the main road, were totally destroyed by fire.
Mr. Cummerford, who was sleeping at the rear of the house, was awakened
by the smoke and noise of the flames. He made his escape with difficulty.
The building, which was formerly known as Howell’s Stores, was utilised by Mr. and Mrs. Cummerford as a guest house, but fortunately Mr. Cummerford was the only occupant at the time of the fire, his wife being in Melbourne with a sick child.
Recently a billiard table costing £200 was installed on the premises. This, together with the whole of the other furniture, was destroyed.

MPFNL

The final quarter wasn’t an easy task for Somerville, with Red Hill hitting the lead twice before the Eagles snatched it back. Somerville were four points up at the final siren.

By Kennedy McCullough
WOMEN’S DIV ONE SEN
THE clash between the top two teams, Warragul and Mornington, resulted in the former remaining undefeated and on top of the ladder.
The Dusties took the lead in the first quarter, scoring 2.1 to the Bulldogs’ 0.1.
In the quarter before the long break, the Dusties’ score continued to climb, reaching 39 points while the Bulldogs only managed to get eight points.
The Bulldogs won the third quarter, stopping the Dusties from scoring entirely while scoring 2.1 themselves, leaving them a mere 18 points behind their competition.
In the final quarter, the Dusties
managed to score 1.1 to the Bulldogs’ 1.0, leaving the Dusties to win the game by 19-points. Mornington’s loss hasn’t seen them slip from second spot, though, as they hold on by percentage to Karingal.
Speaking of which, Karingal’s home ground advantage allowed them to emerge victorious from their clash with Pearcedale.
The Bulls came into the game with a desire to win after their loss the previous week, and started the game with four goals in the first quarter, while the Panthers only scored a single point.
Pearcedale scored their first goal of the game in the second, placing them at eight points and Karingal at 33, leaving the Panthers trailing by 25.
In the third, the Panthers were unable to score at all while the Bulls

The game started out slowly, with neither team scoring at all in the first.
In the second quarter, Bonbeach scored the first goal of the game, scoring 1.1 to Hastings/Balnarring’s 0.2 and leading by five points.
Bonbeach was unable to score in the third quarter, while Hastings/ Balnarring finally took the lead after scoring one goal.
In the final quarter, each team scored 1.1, which landed Hastings/Balnarring at 15 points, allowing them to win the game by a single point.
Dolphins trade Sunday arvo for Friday night lights
RUGBY
By David Burke
LAST Friday night (10 July) the Peninsula Dolphins senior women’s tag team headed out to Casey Fields in Cranbourne to face the top of the ladder side, Casey Warriors.
After coming off a bye due to state representative City verses country rugby league round (July 4) the team went in feeling very confident.
Over the last fortnight the team had trained in all conditions from pouring rain to a night so foggy they almost couldn’t see each other from 15 metres apart.
The weather didn’t stop the enthusiasm and commitment to prepare for matches in any conditions.
Unfortunately for the Dolphins all the preparation didn’t get the result they wanted, loosing 14 points to 60 against the Warriors.
Although the scoreline was a blowout it did not reflect the effort and commitment of the team.
As a group they work really hard for themselves and each other and can be very proud of the effort they put in to improve every week.
It will help the team long term to play against the top sides of the competition so they can learn from it as they have already proven they can and hold their own against the lower ranked teams.
The men’s Peninsula Dolphins senior side had back to back byes due to the City v Country round last fortnight (July 4) and a bye last
weekend (July 11).
However it wasn’t a quiet week for all players and coaching staff with players and coaches chosen to represent City.
Congratulations to Lachie Bouillir, Jet Garforth and Tyler Lansaw on your selection to the men’s state City side and to Maddison D’Ombrain on your selection to the state women’s City tag side.
Women’s City won 14-10 and Men’s City lost 28-12.

A WORLD-CLASS goal from Langwarrin striker Alun Webb was a highlight of a thrilling 3-3 draw with Melbourne Victory at Lawton Park on Friday night.
The home side was 2-0 down and heading for another big loss when Webb struck.
Victory fans were up and about in the 6th minute after Daniel Matina skipped past two opponents on the left then played Alex Lee in and he converted from close range.
Things went from bad to worse for Langy in the 20th minute.
It was caught on the break and a ball played in behind the defence from the right saw Matina sliding in at the back post and he made no mistake.
In the 31st minute came the moment that will stay long in the memory of the Langy faithful.
A minute earlier Webb had been presented with a gilt-edged chance only to be denied by Victory keeper Ethan Troselj.
But Webb hit back in remarkable fashion.
Brad Blumenthal’s cross from the right was only partially cleared to Joe Tweats whose header was chested by Webb then as the ball dropped he timed an acrobatic overhead kick to perfection and volleyed the ball past Troselj’s outstretched hand and into the top far corner.
Five minutes later it was 2-2 thanks to Ben Mason’s back post header from a free-kick on the left.
The tempo of this see-sawing battle continued in the second half and the visitors thought they’d snatched the points when Ben Dunbar and Theo Linderis combined to set up Anton Gray for a first-time finish from just inside the area in the 82nd minute.
They hadn’t bargained for a stunning Lucas Portelli free-kick in the 91st minute that beat Troselj at the far post and put an exclamation mark on one of the best contests seen at Lawton Park in recent times.
In State 1 Mornington came from a goal down to overwhelm Skye United 5-2 at Knox Regional Football Centre on Friday night.
Mornington’s scorers were Shaun Kenny, Luke Goulding, Lachlan Candy, Chris Droutsas and James Kelly while Nassir Hussainy and Marcus Spivey scored for Skye.
In State 2 Peninsula Strikers downed North Caulfield 2-0 at Centenary Park on Sunday.
After a scoreless first half Riley Anderton broke the deadlock four minutes into the second period when he scored at the second attempt after his initial strike hit the crossbar.
Substitute Max Civil sealed the deal in the 79th minute with a strike from inside the box.
In State 4 Chelsea led 2-0 after 10 minutes but lost 3-2 to Monash University at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Friday night.
Michael Swinnerton and new signing Virack To scored for Chelsea which has also signed former Hampton Park and Mooroolbark player Wahid Mahdawi.
It was a stunning upset for Gus Macleod’s men and a major stumble in the promotion race as they now face league leader Springvale City this weekend.
For Monash University it was a much-needed result as it strives to climb clear of the relegation zone.
Baxter’s poor form continued on Saturday when it was hammered 5-0 away to Riversdale while Rosebud lost 3-1 to Kings Domain at Olympic Park on Saturday evening.
Elliott Craig scored for the local side.
In State 5 Somerville Eagles slowed Lyndale United’s promotion push with a commanding 4-0 win at
Sudoku and crossword solutions
home last weekend.
Max Watson gave the Eagles the lead in the 4th minute with a fine strike into the top corner from outside the box but the home side had to wait until the 73rd minute to extend its lead.
An own goal from Jakob Tziotas from Jack Gorbert’s free-kick made the task difficult for the visitors and there no way back when Marcus Anastasiou tucked away a cutback from a Troy Dekker cross in the 83rd minute.
Tom Simmons completed the scoreline with a left-footed strike from the edge of the box in the 90th minute.
Seaford United beat Noble Hurricanes 4-1 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday.
The home aside was 2-0 up after three minutes.
Zain Ahmad pounced on a defensive error in the opening minute to make it 1-0 and Dylan Waugh made it 2-0 after a long ball found him oneon-one with Hurricanes keeper Shu Kimura.
Hurricanes hit back against the run of play in the 42nd minute but Seaford restored its two-goal cushion just before half-time when Conor McFall combined with Waugh who hit a superb strike from distance.
Seaford started the second half the way it had started the first and made
it 4-1 in the opening minute.
It was Ahmad again after a McFall through ball found Blake Hicks on the left and he crossed for Ahmad to score.
In State 6 Mount Eliza picked up three valuable away points with Saturday’s 3-2 win over Brighton.
The visitors went ahead from a 37th minute penalty converted by Michael Wright after Brighton keeper Nikesh Menon took down Mujtaba Sakhi inside the area.
Mount Eliza went further ahead early in the second half when Sakhi was gifted a goal by an error from Menon.
Brighton hit back with two goals in three minutes the first in the 59th minute when Mount Eliza keeper Micky Chiodo didn’t clear properly and Daniel Rockman finished through traffic into the bottom far corner.
The equaliser came from another Chiodo error allowing Matthew Burnett to level.
The winner came after a great interception in the middle of the park from midfielder Noah Green who charged forward then played in Ray Amiri who was under pressure but rocketed his strike into the top corner.

In State 7 Aspendale missed the chance to close the gap on promotion rival Keysborough District with a 2-2 away draw last weekend.
Aspendale led 2-0 at half-time after a cool finish by Ryan Mravljak in the 35th minute and an excellent angled finish by Kailan Smith 10 minutes later.
In the 53rd minute the home team responded when an unmarked Kolu Fomolafe scored at the back post and grabbed a point with a controversial penalty converted by Jaime Mason in the 87th minute.
Mount Martha lost 4-0 at home to Burwood City but the scoreline doesn’t reflect the grit and determination shown by a severely depleted home side.
Twelve players were unavailable for selection across the senior and reserves squad and eight senior players were involved in both games.
A first-half injury to Tex Allen saw 15-year-old Jackson Holt make his senior debut as Allen’s replacement. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES
