Bullet ‘threat’ to MP investigated Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A BULLET left on the car of Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke is being investigated. The bullet was inscribed with the word “RAT” and Edbrooke’s former firefighter number. Victoria Police has confirmed it is investigating the alleged threat. The incident comes amidst an es-

calating dispute between the United Firefighters Union and Edbrooke, who also acts as the state’s emergency services minister. The UFU protested outside of the office of Edbrooke in the weeks prior to the bullet being discovered. United Firefighters Union secretary Peter Marshall condemned the act, saying “threatening anyone, including a minister we strongly disagree with, is the opposite of everything this union stands for.”

“Firefighters spend every shift protecting life and property,” Marshall said. “Whoever did this does not speak or act for firefighters or for this union. I want police to find the person responsible.” Marshall also addressed a recent speech in which he stated that the state government is “in the gun”. He said “on Friday I said the Premier and the minister were ‘in the gun’. I meant at the ballot box and anyone there, or seeing the video, would

know that.” In a short statement on social media issued after the bullet was discovered, Edbrooke said “Thank you to the amazing Frankston community for all the messages of support, your calls and emails.” “When it matters most, our community stands together, because the standard you walk past is the standard you accept,” Edbrooke said. “I do not accept this kind of behaviour.”

Davey St development gets green light Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

PLANS for a high-rise tower on Davey Street. Picture: Supplied

A PROPOSED 15-storey tower on Davey Street in Frankston has been given the green light to proceed. The development at 8 Davey Street was approved by Frankston councillors at their most recent public meeting. The approved plans include 140 residential apartments and 80 hotel rooms as part of a 24-hour hotel; and also allow for the widening of Bay Lane from the Nepean Highway intersection to the eastern end of the site. Frankston Council mayor Sue Baker said that council estimates the finished project will bring in an additional $4 million in tourism spending. “The development addresses a gap in market for traditional hotel offerings in the area, set to play a bigger role in our economy as our city’s tourism appeal strengthens, encouraging visitation and local spending from outside the municipality,” she said. “Frankston has long been considered a day-trip destination, but this addition to our short stay accommodation offerings will provide the opportunity to extend your stay in Frankston. You can spend the afternoon at the beach, dine at one of our city’s many brilliant restaurants and bars, see a show at the award-winning Frankston Arts Centre, spend the night at the new complex and soak up a sunrise by the water the following morning. “This development gives investors increased confidence in the region and affirms the planning undertaken as part of Frankston’s transformation. With more jobs created, more living options and more spending to come from the development, this is a significant result set to benefit a wide cross-section of our community.” The project will be undertaken by PACE Development Group, which is also responsible for the 438–444 Nepean Highway project.

STATE ELECTION 2026

Carrum Downs pavilion set for rebuild THE Len Phelps Pavilion at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve is set to be developed after matching commitments from the state government and state opposition last week. Both the Labor and Liberal campaigns last week promised to spend $3.5 million on the pavilion redevelopment. The redeveloped facility is set to feature kitchen and bar facilities, public toilets, player change rooms, umpires’ change facilities, storage facilities, and improved accessibility measures. Incumbent Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve is an important part of our local community, and I want to make sure our sporting clubs have the facilities they need to grow and thrive.” “A new Len Phelps Pavilion will be the final piece in the transformation of this sport and community precinct,” she said. “This investment will help deliver a better pavilion for local players, families and volunteers, and I’m proud to be backing the clubs that bring our community together.” The Liberal candidate for Carrum, Jeff Shelley, said “for 45 years, the Len Phelps Pavilion has been at the heart of the Carrum Downs sporting community, serving generations of local families and athletes. “With more women and girls participating in local sport, our facilities need to keep pace, providing modern, accessible and femalefriendly amenities for everyone.”

Cash promise to primary school CARRUM MP Sonya Kilkenny has promised $3.24 million to upgrade Carrum Primary School if the state government is re-elected. The election promise was announced last week. Kilkenny said “Carrum Primary School is such an important part of our local community, and this investment will make this wonderful local school even better.” “By completing the school’s modernisation, we’re making sure students have great classrooms and outdoor learning spaces where they can learn, grow and thrive,” she said.

Letter writing project set to continue A LETTER writing project designed to keep Frankston residents connected has been extended due to popular demand. The Letterbox Project, an anonymous letter exchange, launched on 4 August and runs every Tuesday at Frankston Library. Frankston Council’s positive ageing officer Kelleigh Lane has been one of the project’s organisers. She said it has “grown into something far more meaningful than we ever anticipated.” “The Letterbox Project was originally due to conclude on 27 October, however the response from partici-

pants has been so overwhelmingly positive that we have made the decision to continue the program indefinitely,” Lane said. “What started as a small initiative has become something truly special. Participants have shared stories of feeling less isolated, more connected to their community, and having something positive to look forward to each week. New friendships have formed, confidence has grown, and for some people, receiving a letter has become the highlight of their week. The impact has exceeded anything I had hoped it might become.” The 27 October date initially in-

tended to be the project’s conclusion was instead the date of a celebration event at Frankston library. Lane said that the program will expand as it heads into the future. “As the project continues to evolve, we are also introducing Letterbox Project Ambassadors. These will be regular participants who can help welcome new members, assist during our Tuesday sessions, and provide a friendly point of connection for others. The ambassador role will help strengthen the sense of community that has developed and ensure new participants feel welcomed from day one,” she said.

Police patrol

Police train at shopping centre BAYSIDE Shopping Centre in Frankston has hosted a police training exercise. Overnight between 20 and 21 October, police used the Frankston shopping centre to simulate an emergency management incident. The shopping space and car park were both used as part of training exercises. Frankston Police senior sergeant Tim Walker said that police “regularly undertake specialised training to ensure we are well prepared to respond to high-risk incidents, including armed offenders.”

“Police are often faced with dangerous and unpredictable incidents. Training reinforces our operational readiness in the event of a high-risk incident,” Walker said. “We not only want to maintain the skills we already have, but build on them, and apply those in realistic situations to ensure our decision-making and response will keep the community safe.” In a statement, Victoria Police said it would “continue to work alongside centre management for future exercises that are aimed at keeping the community safe.”

Road operation FRANKSTON police detected 31 offences during a road safety operation on 16 October. The 12-hour operation saw police dedicate more resources to Frankston’s roads, allowing them to pull over and check 153 vehicles. Each driver was breath-tested, with 12 of them also drug-tested. By the end of the operation 22 penalty infringement notices were issued. Police allege that seven people were caught behind the wheel unlicenced, six driving whilst suspended, five driving unregistered vehicles, two driving un-

roadworthy cars, and two driving with alcohol and drugs in their system. Among the arrests was a 50-year-old man from Frankston North, who allegedly tested positive for methylamphetamine and was scheduled to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Frankston Police acting sergeant Cara Dergacz said “it’s really disappointing to not only see vehicles being unfit to be on the road, but for drivers to put themselves, their passengers and other road users at risk by choosing to do the wrong thing. “Some of these people shouldn’t have even been on the road in the first place, after being suspended. Driving is a privilege and not a right. Safety on the roads is everyone’s responsibility.”

Massive improvement in hearing aid technology Imagine a hearing aid that only amplifies clear speech. Imagine walking into a busy restaurant and the only thing you hear louder is the clear speech of the people close to you. Not the incoherent speech that has morphed into babble. Not the clinking of glasses or clashing of plates. Not the outside traffic. Not the air conditioner or fan. Imagine that the only thing you hear better are the voices of the people close to you.

For millions of hearing impaired people the worst places to hear are in noisy restaurants and clubs. The problem is that EVERY hearing aid for the past 60 years amplifies EVERYTHING. It is unable to effectively differentiate between speech and every other unwanted sound that drowns out speech.

Well, imagine no more. We invite you to test drive the latest breakthrough in

hearing aid technology that will revolutionise how you hear in noisy, demanding environments. Experience hearing like you never thought possible. Some of our clients with SEVERE hearing losses are hearing better in noisy restaurants than people with normal hearing. Hard to believe I know, so put us to the test and experience this incredible breakthrough for yourself.

UNMATCHED SPEECH CLARITY Imagine, hearing clearly in noise! Introducing a hearing aid that offers exceptional speech clarity as it separates unwanted noise from speech, delivering a level of clean and clear speech far beyond any existing technology, thereby allowing you to engage with friends, family and colleagues even in the noisiest environments.

New play space opens SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER 9am-2pm UPCOMING MARKETS 5 December | 2 January | 6 February | 2 April | 1 May PLUS - Easter Saturday 27 March

A NEW $2.03 million play space at Banyan Reserve in Carrum Downs is now open. The upgraded play space features swings, slides, climbing structures, water play, and a new asphalt bike track. Construction, which began earlier this year, was paid for by Frankston Council and the Victorian Government. Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker said “as our community grows, it’s important that we continue investing in places that support wellbeing, encourage recreation and help create vibrant neighbourhoods for people of all ages.” “Quality public spaces give people oppor-

tunities to be active, spend time outdoors and connect with family, friends and neighbours close to home,” she said. Cr Cherie Wanat attended the park opening. She said “a lot of people have played a part in getting us to today, from the locals who shared their ideas to the people who designed and built it, and our funding partners at the Victorian Government. “This is what can happen when you listen to the community and have strong partners willing to invest alongside you. Now comes the fun part. Grab the bikes, scooters and helmets and come and give it a go.”

School celebrates 50 years THE 50th anniversary of the former Baxter Technical School is being celebrated. The first classes at the school were taught in 1976, with an initial intake of 115 students. It was later renamed to Mount Erin College, and now provides education for roughly 500 secondary students. Mount Erin College principal Jenni Hodgins said the school “has a rich legacy with a strong commitment to vocational education and recognition of the individual strengths, interests and aspirations of every student.” “For many students, there are already family connections to the college, as parents and even grandparents attended the school when it was Baxter Tech. We want to honour our history

with the College, whilst looking to the future,” Hodgins said A new facility is set to open at the school next year as it enters its next 50 years of operation. Hodgins said “our new building works, set to be complete in 2027, will foster connection towards their peers and the community that we have grown alongside. “We want students to enter the new buildings and have a sense of calm and belonging, and we invite the generations of students, staff and families who have been part of our College to join us in 2027, when our building works are complete, for a special opportunity to reconnect with our history and explore our revitalised learning spaces.”

2.6 SECONDS: DEATH IN THE OUTBACK

ABC TV, 8pm

“I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man.” Those 12 words, in many ways, define prime minister Julia Gillard’s legacy. Her unforgettable 2012 address, directed at thenopposition leader Tony Abbott, is just the first of six events featured in the third season of this eye-opening interview series. Fourteen years on, former PMs Gillard (pictured) and Abbott both share their recollections of that historic day and the speech that reverberated throughout Australia. Later episodes recall the Thredbo landslide, the Cangai siege, prime minister Harold Holt’s disappearance, the Rabbitohs’ fight against extinction and the Lismore floods.

SBS, 8.30pm

One night can change everything. In the remote community of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory, that night was November 9, 2019. During an attempted arrest, NT police officer Zachary Rolfe fatally shot 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker – sparking a national reckoning with justice and race in Australia. Named for the time that elapsed between the first and second gunshots, this landmark four-part documentary examines the events and repercussions of that fateful evening. By examining the systems that shaped both men’s lives, director Darren Dale (pictured) is able to trace the paths each of them took – and investigate whether Walker’s death could have been avoided.

Peninsula cleanliness I had the pleasure of being amongst some suburbs in the Stonnington City Council region recently. And all I can say is WOW. The cleanliness and presentation of the streets was incredible. The gardens manicured, no rubbish in the gutters, the paths clean, zero graffiti, and just an overall really nice welcome feeling being amongst it. Which brings me to my point. What has happened to the Mornington peninsula under the control of the Mornington Peninsula Shire? As residents we expect better! Broken street signs, dead trees on mainstreets, potholes by the dozen load and a real air of not caring what the environment looks like. Overgrown weeds and trees are everywhere down here too. I think we need an investigation into council accountability and why funds are not being allocated to making the streets presentable like they used to be. Adam Richmond, Dromana

Plug in EVs

Given that about one in four new car sales are now electric, it’s good to read that more electric vehicle chargers are going in across the Peninsula (“Electric vehicle charger trial across peninsula”, 27th Oct). Pole-mounted chargers make use of existing infrastructure, take up almost no space, and help the many EV drivers who can’t charge at home. Cheap-to-run cars deserve cheap, reliable places to plug in. Credit to United Energy for getting on with the job. Larni Dibben, Glen Iris

Keep health rebate

Marg D’Arcy (“Health rebate”, Letters, 20/10/26) states that she does not understand why she should receive a higher rebate for pri-

vate health insurance than younger people. Health department modelling released under Freedom of Information laws estimated that between 44,000 and 80,000 older Australians would drop their private health cover entirely by 2028–29 due to the cost increase. State and territory governments, alongside the federal Opposition, have warned that thousands of seniors exiting private care would trigger a massive influx into an already strained public hospital system, increasing elective surgery wait times. Surely this is enough reason for the Albanese Government to scrap the plan to drop the rebate for older citizens! Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Power problems

There has been a bit of a furore lately about the cost of “Snowy 2.0” pumped hydro electricity, blowing out from $2b to $25b. It was never and could never possibly be built for $2b. The Liberal prime minister at the time simply didn’t tell us. I have seen estimates, a couple of years ago, that it might blow out to $40b. Don’t believe all the hogwash the politicians are still telling us. Snowy 2.0 does not generate any new electricity at all, rather, it consumes more than it generates. It pumps water back uphill to be stored, but only when the grid has a surplus of very cheap power available, perhaps after noon on a sunny, windy, day. Later, it can then use that reservoir of stored water to generate, as required, about 2 gigawatt of power, particularly on overcast wintry days when there is no solar and no wind and the renewables don’t work. It is simply back- up. The snowy 2 pumps will require about 1.6 times the power they produce

to pump the water back uphill. That is it will consume 3.2Gw in order to produce 2Gw. It can only be feasible if there are periods of time when the grid has surplus unused renewables power. An accountants trick, if you like, costing billions. So much for renewables being cheaper than coal or nuclear. 2Gw of power is equal to the four coal fired generators at Loy Yang “A” or 1000 wind turbines of 3Mw (including capacity factor). It would be a smart move to abandon the Snowy 2 fiasco right now. Perhaps then install nuclear generators in that same spot, inside a mountain and 800 metres below the ground. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Promises, promises

Regarding the letter last week from Helen Keleher (“Promises”, Letters, 27/10/26), if you believe every promise made before an election will be carried out then you are going to be very disappointed. I can think of many “ promises” made before the last election which were either cancelled or changed to more pressing things that needed to be done. Its only a fool who believes a promise from a political party. Anyway Helen, you are presuming that Labor will get back in. That will be up to the voters to decide if they are happy with what has been happening. Time will tell! Barry Kirkpatrick, Mt Martha

Can’t afford Labor

and the latest quarterly inflation figure of 3.6% (at one time peaking at 7.8%). The cost of living has seen household expenses rise 7% with rent up 24%, electricity prices rise 40%, gas up 35%, health up 20% and education costs are up 23% and home loan mortgage rates climbing to around 6.9% ANZ variable in 2026. Food is up officially 11.5%, but every shopper knows of price increases nearer 20% to 30% on many items. Those price hikes are not caused by today’s inflation rate of 4% or temporary natural disasters. The truth is it’s blatant unregulated profiteering by supermarkets that pocket billions every year. Example: Coles recently reported a statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) of $1.09b in the financial year 2025-2026. Labor’s excessive immigration levels at a time of grossly inadequate housing, increasing levels of crime against persons and property and their heinous complicity in a suspected $15b CMFEU “Big Build” corruption investigation render Labor unfit for office. When you vote on or before 28 November 2026, please mark Labor last on your ballot. Thomas Quinn, Moe

Labor homelessness

Can you explain the apparent contradiction of the state Labor government increasing resourcing towards homeless people from under $400m in 2014 up to over $1b annually in the past few years, while the number of homeless people has continued to rise, and their situation has worsened savagely? Ken Taylor, West Brunswick

Victorians can’t afford the “debt and deficit” culture of Mr Carroll and Mr Albanese’s Labor Party. As per 30 June 2026, The Victorian Budget, resulted in the “worst ever” record net deficit, forecast to reach $175.6b in 2026-27, according to the Victorian State Budget 2026-27. Labor’s worsening incompetence with money was evident when PM Anthony Albanese, first came to power. Since then we’ve had 16 consecutive cash rate hikes (from 0.1% to 4.35%) ADVERTISEMENT

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New building for Frankston High School Compiled by Cameron McCullough VERY good progress is being made with the high school building. The bricklayers are well on the second storey of the brick building, which is now sufficiently advanced to give a good impression of the magnificent structure it is to be. In the days to come the people of the district will realise how extremely fortunate they were in having such a complete and up-to-date college placed in their midst. The wooden building, for technical subjects, is almost complete. It has been roofed in with a nice arrangement of tiles, which presents a pleasing mottled appearance. The lining and finishing are nearing completion, and the students who attend next year will be able to commence operations in carpentry, blacksmithing, sheet metal work, laundry and dressmaking. The cookery will have to wait till the main building is ready in April or May, as the culinary department is in the large school. Parents who have any thoughts of sending their students next year should make early arrangements so that their boys and girls may be able to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that the Frankston High school presents. *** Mile of Pennies – Fire brigade effort. Funds for new station Frankston Fire Brigade happened on a bad day for their big stunt. Clouds of dust in the morning, followed by driving showers and a bitter wind in the afternoon were not conducive to free giving on the part of those

who were abroad. Hurrying pedestrians, muffled in overcoats or furs which they had hoped to leave in repose until next winter, looked askance at the long, white line on which they were invited to place their spare coppers. The idea of undoing numerous buttons and searching in inside pockets weighed heavily against the naturally generous instincts of most. But the ardor of the energetic committee was in no wise dimmed by the adverse conditions, and to the executive and the undismayed section workers who stuck to their posts throughout the day, is due the credit for the fairly successful issue to which the drive was carried. As tea hour approached the runners commenced to bring in spoils and the counting began. And a dirty job it was. Pennies covered with sand; pennies caked in mud; mouldy pennies; battered pennies; but it was all good money and the count went on merrily. A little after six the barometer stood at £58, with more to follow. The final count brought the figures up to £64, which was a very successful drive when all things are considered. The committee decided that they would not rest at that point, and a further attack was made on the visitors on Cup Day and a little more was added to the fund. If the present committee keeps on at its present rate there is every hope of our having a decent fire station in Frankston in the near future. *** The Late Mr. Mark Brody From time to time since the news of

the decease of Mr. Mark Brody was reported, requests have reached us for information regarding the cause of Mr. Brody’s death. To none of these enquiries have we been able to reply. We are now in receipt of information which we pass on through these columns to the many friends to whom the news came with such a shock. On Saturday last, Mrs. C. Wood received a letter from Mrs. J. A. Williams, of Launceston, a daughter of deceased. Mrs. Williams states that her father was in the best of spirits up till an hour or so previous to his death. On the evening of his death, Mr. Brody complained of sharp, stabbing pains. As they were severe, he was persuaded to go to bed. Mrs. Williams gave her father a small quantity of brandy which gave him considerable relief. Shortly after this he stated that he was much better, and was soon sitting up in bed chatting to Mrs. Brody. A little later Mrs. Brody left him to go downstairs. Mrs. Williams states in her letter that her mother was not out of the room for more than fifteen minutes, but on her return was horrified to find that Mr. Brody had passed away while she was absent. During his long residence in Frankston the late Mr. Brody made innumerable friends, and we are indebted to Mrs. Wood for handing on the news she has received for the information of our readers, who have waited patiently for word of Mr. Brody’s last hours. ***

Eliza plays Bruce’s eleven On Cup Day a friendly but keenly contested cricket match, between Mt. Eliza team and a visiting eleven from the employees on the building which is being erected by the Hon. S. M. Bruce on Heatherill Road. The match was played on the Mt. Eliza ground, the home team winning by a small margin. Mt. Eliza made 106 runs, which proved a little too tall an order for the visitors, who made only 98. A dainty afternoon tea was provided by the lady friends of members of the Mt Eliza club. Mr. W. Duffy, captain of Bruce’s eleven, complimented the home team on its well earned victory, and expressed the visitors appreciation of the opportunity provided them for a day’s entertainment. He also, on behalf of his team, tendered special thanks to the ladies for their hospitality. Cr. Clarke, president of the Mt. Eliza club, in a neat speech, thanked Mr. Duffy and the team which he had so nearly led to victory, for the compliments which had been extended. In conclusion, he stated that, although the Mt. Eliza team was but in its infancy, he hoped that next year they

Sir, Will you be good enough to draw attention through the medium of the “Standard” to the unsatisfactory nature of the electric power supply of Frankston in regard to continuity of supply. Today, Thursday 4th inst., the electric power has once more been cut off for a considerable period, greatly to the inconvenience of the consumers. Upon many occasions, when Frankston suffers a strong wind, the supply usually becomes unstable, and on many such instances becomes totally interrupted. Apparently whenever there is any work to he done on the distribution system or even on sub-circuits, the supply is again interrupted. The electric light department of the council apparently shows as much consideration for the consumers of electricity in the maintenance of supply, as it does for the charges it imposes for electric energy. Such a state of affairs would never be tolerated in any of the suburbs of Melbourne, and they should not be tolerated in Frankston.

Mornington fall short of win as rain affects round again MPCA MENS

By Cameron McCullough WITH wet weather affecting many of the mens’ games on Saturday 31 October, and no women’s games this weekend, again results were few and far between.

PROVINCIAL

THERE was only one result on Saturday in Provincial Division, with the other three games abandoned. Sorrento were pipped by Baden Powell in their rain-affected game. Baden Powell won the toss and elected to bowl, putting Sorrento out to bat. Corey Harris couldn’t repeat his form of last week, falling cheaply for just six, with the other opener, Jedd Falck top scoring for the team with 37. Only one other batter managed to get into double figures with Dimitri Mascarenhas managing 22 runs before being bowled by William Crowder. The rest of the sheet was single figures with a couple of golden ducks thrown in for good measure. The Sharks ended up on 9/95 after batting out 26 overs. Baden Powell’s response was poor, with only one shining light; Rhys Elmi smashed 54 off 42 balls, including five fours and three sixes. Not another batter made double figures, but they still managed to get past Sorrento’s total in the 19th over for the loss of seven wickets. Mornington must be feeling the gods are not on their side after the weather robbed them of a certain win. The Bulldogs managed 8/154 off 37 overs with the stand-out innings being Hayden Cummings with 75 off 102 balls. The next best was Charlie Parker with 41. Beau Anthony got Dromana off to a firey start with 46 off 30 balls including

Frankston Times

two fours and four sixes. Captain Bobby Wilson managed 14 and Udara Ravindu 18 runs before the figures fell to single digits. Dromana got to 9/103 before play was abandoned. Old Peninsula managed to get 58 runs on the board before their game against Pines was abandoned. Elias Karageorgiou scored 28 not out and Charlie Collopy 30 not out. The Red Hill and Langwarrin game was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

PENINSULA

DESPITE a strong showing from their batters, Crib Point still fell short in their clash against Mt Eliza. The Magpies’ attack was spearheaded by captain Blake Hogan-Keogh who put on 72 runs in 70 balls to help his side to 5/161. In response, two batter managed to get to 49 not out for Mt Eliza to grab the win. Pawan Dias Edirisinghe got there in 58 balls with one four and one six. Nicholas Strickland smashed his way there in 38 balls with three fours and two sixes. Mt Eliza finished with figures of 4/162. Long Island locked in an easy win over Rosebud. Rosebud would have considered their result defendable, getting to 7/189 in their 40 overs. Scott Hayes top scored for the side with 47 runs. Long Island’s innings was marked by a game-winning performance from opener from Aiden McKenna. McKenna smashed 109 not out off 100 balls including nine fours and three sixes. He was well-supported at the other end with Pubudu Edirisinghe scoring

3 November 2026

24 runs and Avindu Fernando 54 not out as they passed Rosebud’s total in the 36th over with the loss of just a single wicket. The Somerville versus Heatherhill clash was abandoned without Heatherhill facing a ball. Somerville won the toss and elected to bat. They got to 1/86 before the weather closed in. Play never resumed.

DISTRICT

CARRUM Downs are sitting at the top of the District Division table after a close win against Moorooduc on Saturday. Moorooduc won the toss and elected to bat. Opener Nick Williams was out for one, while at the other end, Benjamin Williams put on 15 before being sent packing after being bowled by Robert Johnston. The best score for Moorooduc was a 48 for Lucas Peterson as the team got to 8/155 off their 40 overs. In response, Carrum Downs’ opener Robert Johnston, who had been handy with the ball with three wickets, was out for a duck. Captain Gordon Waterfall ended up standing up for Carrum Downs, scoring the team’s high of 46 runs as they passed Moorooduc’s total with only a couple of overs, and one wicket in hand. Tyabb had a strong win over Seaford Tigers in their clash. Tyabb won the toss and elected to bat, managing to put up figures of 8/181 in their 40 overs. Best for the side was Harrison Dent with 52 runs, followed by Luke Rus with 39. In response, both of Seaford Tigers’ openers were out for ducks, and it wasn’t until Anurudda Fonseka came to the crease did things start to stabalise.

Foneska scored 61 runs, and Luke Chevalier 45 in the chase, but the side ran out of batters in the 38th over, still 35 runs short of the total. Rye smashed Boneo in their match. Boneo sent Rye in to have a bat, and Rye took the opportunity to post a decent score. The side got to 7/190 with opener Manu Goraya top scoring for the side with 51 off 66 balls. In response, Boneo fell well short with only vice-captain Sam Fowler posting a substantial score of 47 runs. In the end, Boneo were all out for just 98 runs in the 25th over. The Flinders versus Carrum clash was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

SUB DISTRICT

BALLAM Park grabbed the win over Tootgarook in their Sub District Division clash on Saturday. Tootgarook managed to get to 7/139 after 35 overs, with Koby De bruyn top scoring with 34 and Zachary Symons the next best on 27 not out. In response, both of Ballam Park’s openers were out for single digits, and things seemed to be going poorly for the side until captain Nicholas Waller notched a 54 not out to guide his side to victory. The win was Ballam Park’s first for the season. Delacombe Park smashed Main Ridge in their clash. Main Ridge sent Delacombe Park in to bat, and apart from opener Ben Walker going cheaply, a strong performance followed. Tobias Van den heever top scored with 51 off 82 balls, followed closely by Jonny Guthrie on 47 and Flynn Walker on 39 not out. The side got to 5/185 in their 40 overs.

In response, Main Ridge were dismal, with only one player, Praveen Fernando with a 30, managing to get out of single figures. The side were all out for just 78 runs. The Baxter versus Skye game was abandoned after eight overs with Baxter on 2/41. Frankston YCW and Mt Martha both had byes.

The Scoreboard

Trav’s the man for Skye United SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie HAVING played, coached at junior and senior levels, been a team manager, sponsor and committeeman putting his hand up for the presidency seemed the next logical step in Travis Mitchell’s Skye United journey. The 45 year-old father of three was recently elected unopposed to the local club’s top job after Mick Stevens ended a two-year stint to concentrate on family matters. “I’ve known the Attard family really well and talking to Daniel helped me realise that I had all the tools needed to run the club and make sure we are focussing on the right areas,” Mitchell said. The co-owner of Peninsula Furniture Frames was elected unopposed and got down to business straight away. “I think one of the areas we need to focus on is our MiniRoos and our junior coaching. “The new committee has been talking about a renewed focus on those programs and looking at the pathway from our juniors to our seniors. “That’s really at the forefront of what we want to achieve at the club. “We don’t have a technical director but we’ve discussed that and we are definitely looking at having someone to fit that role, someone who can really drive that area.” The senior men’s side was relegated from State 1 this year while the senior women’s side won promotion from State 3. The club recently announced that Phil McGuinness had been retained as head coach of the senior men and Mitch Ball had been retained as head coach of the senior women. “I’ve told Phil that we want to see the men back in State 1 and I want to back our senior women’s program and see them in State 1 as well. “We learnt a lot with the men in State 1 this year. “It taught us how professional we need to be at that level. “I feel that as a club we’ve grown quite quickly in the last 10 years but we’ve done so with essentially the same people. “We haven’t gone out and brought in people from big clubs with the knowledge of how to run those clubs instead we’ve kind of been learning as we go.” One of the tasks that falls into the lap of a Skye United president is convincing politicians that having 38 teams and just two pitches on your home ground is untenable. And Skye is a co-tenant at Skye Recreation Reserve so for six months of the year it is homeless. Skye has access to Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve for two nights a week in summer months and conducts junior clinics there but so much more needs to be done by local, state and federal government to give this thriving community sports club a year-long venue that does away with the need to roster training and cap its participant numbers.

“There’s talk of the Wedge Road housing development with three pitches in a sporting precinct there. “We’ve been told that we are top of the list of prospective tenants but that’s some years away yet. “We’ll continue to talk to council about this.” Let’s wish Mitchell good luck with those discussions. It will be interesting to see if he can succeed where his predecessors couldn’t. If he does he’ll have made a significant contribution to the longevity of the club he loves. In State 6 news Frankston Pines striker Kenny Akalan is aiming for a 20-goal haul next season. The 30-year-old scored 15 goals last season which was his highest total in senior football and one that fills him with confidence looking ahead to 2027. “We started connecting with each other in the last few games of the season,” Akalan said. “We realised that our best formation was a 4-2-3-1 and it worked really well.” It has been a long and winding road that has led Akalan to Monterey Reserve. His football journey started with Berwick City’s juniors progressing to the reserves then the under-21s at Oakleigh Cannons and Dandenong Thunder before stepping away from the sport for a year. He returned for the 2015 season with Ding-

ley Stars and three seasons later he joined Keysborough. He played for South East United in the pandemic-struck 2021 season then had a season with Tullamarine before joining Dandenong South then Pines. His decision to sign with Pines soon became a family affair with his wife Selen playing in the women’s team and their son Karan in one of the junior teams. “I can see a lot of commitment by the committee here, by the volunteers, the players and everyone involved even with the juniors.” While Akalan played a key role in ending three consecutive seasons of relegation at Pines he now faces a new challenge. “I want to be part of a team that’s driven and wants to improve consistently, a team that’s prepared to work hard towards promotion. “I didn’t expect to score 15 goals to be honest but now that I have I guess I’ll have to set a higher target so I’m going to go for 20 goals next year.” Akalan’s first season at Pines saw him runnerup in the players’ player of the year award while running away with Golden Boot honours. He was the third highest scorer in the league. “I love the game so much and I don’t know how many more seasons I’ve got in me so I really want to be part of a team that wants to succeed.” Still in State 6 and newly promoted Aspend-

ale will have two to three training sessions in December as it starts its preparations for next season. Last season was the club’s first promotion since joining State League for the 2018 season and it was Jason Grieve’s first season as head coach. Of the 19 players who played more than 10 games in 2025 only five fronted for 2026. Grieve’s response was to promote a number of reserves players and bring in some players from outside the club including midfielders Tom Machin and Jack Gallagher. “They brought experience from playing at a higher level and helped us greatly,” Grieve said. “In the first half of last season we were inconsistent but we then went unbeaten in the second half of the season and only conceded 10 goals in those 11 games. “We beat the top team Noble Suns twice and got the (promotion) job done.” Grieve didn’t have a playing budget at his disposal and his players all paid for their registration and club fees. That won’t change next year. What will change though is the make-up of the senior squad with captain Matthew Leggett going overseas and top scorer Mitch Hodder moving to New South Wales. Leggett won Aspendale’s players’ player award, Machin was player of the year and the young player of the year was Oscar Carter.
