A WORK OF ART THE curtain was lifted on the Latrobe Valley’s brand new theatre when the $42 million Gippsland Performing Arts Centre was officially opened in Traralgon on Wednesday, March 2.

The opening was followed by a four-day gala with electronic indie-popsters Client Liaison, a comedy night with Dave Thornton and Peter Helliar, local performances, and community workshops.

The plush state-of-the-art facility includes a 750-seat auditorium, indoor and outdoor amphitheatre event spaces, box office, café precinct, conference rooms and the Latrobe visitor information centre.

The theatre also features a fly tower which will allow for backdrops to come in-and-out for staging full-scaled productions.

The new centre is connected to the old performing arts centre, the Traralgon Library and Little Theatre which is being refurbished for local theatre groups.

Latrobe City mayor Kellie O’Callaghan was at the opening with community members, local Members of Parliament and Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas.

Cr O’Callaghan described the new centre as a “space for everyone” that would allow the region to host large events while also providing a venue for local groups.

She said GPAC was a long-term community aspiration to support the growth grr of the local arts and creative sector.

“We know the community is very excited about what’s here and what they will be able to undertake here as well. We want to foster their ability to engage in this space,’ Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Beyond bringi ging i the stars of the stage to our doorstep, the new centre is a home for the local creative community and provides a forum for connection, wellbeing and collaboration.”

The new centre was funded in conjunction with Latrobe City and $12 million from the state

government and $10 million from th he federal government.

The project supported 150 jobs in construction.

It is expected to generate up to $5.4 million for the regi gion’s i economy each year, and is providing 30 full-time jobs.

Ms Thomas said GPAC would becoome a “wellloved” venue for locals and visitors frrom across the state, giving gii access to the best in mu usic, theatre, dance and creativity.

“Wh When h you think of some of the cha allenges faced by Latrobe City and the regi gion, i the perfforming arts is such a central part of a well-lived lifee,” Ms Thomas said.

“The arts has the capacity to bring g joy and

happiness, but also make us refl flect l on the world in which we live and help us see the world through the eyes of others.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said GPAC represented a “huge vote of confi fidence” i in the future of Gippsland and the Valley.

Mr Chester said it was also an excellent example of partnerships with all levels of government.

“These events will help boost the visitor economy and hospitality industry and have positive flow-on fll impacts for the entire community,” Mr Chester said.

“Well done to local residents who fought for years and I look forw rward w to seeing the local community enjoy the facility now and well into the future.”

Chester’s ire at timber praise

By PHILIP HOPKINS

NATIONALS Federal MP Darren Chester has labelled as “farcical” and an “insult” the state government’s praise for the use of local Vic Ash timber in the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre while still backing the destruction of the region’s native forest industry.

Mr Chester, the Federal Member for Gippsland, officially opened the centre last week with the Regional Development Minister, Mary-Anne Thomas; Labor Member for Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing; and Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan.

At the end of her speech, Ms Thomas praised the role of timber in the building and said she aimed to see the industry grow.

Speaking after the official opening, Mr Chester said it was fantastic to see Gippsland timber showcased in one of the most significant buildings developed in Gippsland/Latrobe Valley in decades.

“To feature our own sustainable native timber in this performing arts and cultural centre sends a powerful message that our community believes in the future of the timber industry and want to see a sustainable future for it,” he said.

“To have the minister come here today and recognise the timber industry – the very industry that her government is shutting down - is an insult to those timber workers.

It is completely misleading and farcical for state government ministers to come and pretend they care about the timber industry – the very industry they want close.

“I hope the minister goes back to Spring St and reflects on this building and passes the message on to her colleagues that the Gippsland timber industry has to be saved and it’s more than just a few jobs - it’s actually about the future of the community,” he said.

The performing arts centre is dominated by 10 engineered “trees”, each 8.5 metres high and weighing more than three tonnes, that were manufactured by Australian Sustainable Hardwoods at Heyfield.

The engineered wooden glulam beams and columns act as structural columns in the main foyer to create a powerful public space.

Vic Ash is also used in the stair hand rails with other native hardwoods featuring prominently, such as Blackbutt balustrades.

Mr Chester said people needed to appreciate the incredible innovation and technical improvements at the Heyfield mill in particular.

“Their ability to create a high value timber product from bits of wood that used to be thrown into the chipper, is something the industry should be proud of and the community needs to know more about,” he said.

“There is very little waste in the timber industry

Speaking on the threat to timber supply due to ‘green’ court actions against VicForests, Mr Chester said he had no confidence in the state government’s forecasts around fibre supply to the paper industry.

“I think jobs will be lost in the Maryvale paper mill under this plan,” he said.

The state government aims to close the native forest industry by 2030, with a major stepdown after 2024, emphasising a transition to plantation timber.

“I believe in sustainable native hardwood timber.

Plantation timber has an important role to play; we should be doing both,” Mr Chester said.

“The critical thing about the native timber industry that most people do not understand, is the role that it plays in natural

disaster management and preventing bushfires in the first place.

“They secure the access to track which are used by firefighters; they have equipment that is used when fires are on; and they have the skills in the bush we need to pass on to future generations to keep us safe.

“They should be doing mulching work around critical infrastructure, assisting with fuel reduction burning and assisting with the maintenance of tracks to keep our community safe. VicForests also pays for the use and maintenance of the roads in the bush.”

Local contractors and suppliers were among the 62 contractor companies involved in the project.

They included Weldtek (steel), Carpet Country (floor coverings) Gippsland Fire (fire extinguishers) MTS Excavations (excavations and landscaping) CME Installations (security) and Active Hospitality (kitchen and café equipment) and Law Somerville (joinery).

Visitor Information Centre’s new home

THE Latrobe Visitor Information Centre is now operating at the new Gippsland Performing Arts Centre after it was relocated from the former Methodist Church at the Traralgon railway station.

Latrobe City moved the visitor centre to Kay Street to vacate the old church building, which was facing demolition in order to make way for train station upgrades.

Latrobe City mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the new location would attract more people to the new performing arts centre precinct.

The newly-opened visitor info centre has nearby long vehicle parking and accessible toilet facilities.

“We can’t wait to welcome visitors to this purpose-built facility in the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Our visitor information centre is a valued touchpoint for people visiting our region and also to locals who might be planning a trip to other parts of the wider Gippsland region.”

Cr O’Callaghan said Latrobe City had engaged an independent consultant to undertake a heritage and structural assessment of the 1879 church building.

It comes after Latrobe City faced an outpouring of community opposition over its plans to demolish the building which sits on state government-owned land.

But Latrobe City agreed to put a halt on its plans until it carried out further community consultation.

“We would like to assure our community that no further decisions have been made about the future of the old Methodist Church,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Following the assessment, we will share the results with the community and undertake further engagement to determine the next steps.”

LVA’s performance in spotlight

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

THE state government said it is “confident” about the longevity of the Latrobe Valley Authority, despite no confirmation of funding after June this year.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas was in the Latrobe Valley last week, stating that the appointment of new LVA chief executive officer Chris Buckingham indicated the government’s stance on the organisation.

“The recent appointment of a new CEO at the Latrobe Valley Authority, I think, says everything that you need to know about this government’s commitment to the LVA and to the people of the Latrobe region,” Ms Thomas said.

“Our government stands by its record of investment here in the Latrobe Valley, $2 billion of investment in this region since we were first elected. We established the LVA and we stand by the LVA. Funding for the LVA, like many other government agencies and authorities is just subject to normal budget cycles.”

Ms Thomas’ comments came as Mr Buckingham was appearing in front of a Parliamentary Inquiry committee into the closure of the Hazelwood and Yallourn power stations.

Mr Buckingham appeared with Regional Development Victoria regional director Sara Rhodes-Ward.

Mr Buckingham told the committee he believed coal may exit the market by 2032.

“We are in for a ride,” he said.

In his submission, Mr Buckingham acknowledged the work of the LVA during the 2017 Hazelwood closure was not “perfect”.

“Through the worker transition service we facilitated, we delivered a response that supported 730 Hazelwood workers, and also their families, friends and neighbours. Was it a perfect response?

No,” he said.

“The organisation has matured, continues to learn and is determined to deliver a stronger, more effective response as the community grapples with the success of changes to the structure of our economy.”

Mr Buckingham was intensely questioned by Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath on the LVA’s claim that it created 4000 jobs for workers effected by the Hazelwood closure.

Ms Bath pushed for a figure that determined how many jobs out of the 4000 were ongoing employment opportunities.

The new CEO was unable to produce an exact figure at the time of questioning and told the committee he would take it on notice.

“I’m happy to take it on notice, but I think it’s also worth acknowledging that the local market has changed in recent times, and the idea of a lifelong job is a thing of the past,” he said.

Ms Bath also questioned Mr Buckingham on the continuation of funding for the LVA. In response, Mr Buckingham said the issue of funding was a matter for the state government.

“From my understanding the budget will be announced on the third of May,” he said.

During questioning, Mr Buckingham stated the importance of community involvement in the LVA’s role in the 2028 closure of Yallourn Power Station.

“The thing that I’ve observed about the LVA’s approach is that it is by Gippslanders, for Gippslanders, in Gippsland,” he said.

“I think what the LVA is demonstrating is the ability for a government authority to help engage community in those conversations.”

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing also questioned Mr Buckingham on the employment opportunities created by the LVA. Mr Buckingham said he believed the Latrobe Valley had work to do before its workforce was ready for billions worth of offshore, onshore renewable energy and geothermal investments.

“Part of what the LVA is doing right now is mapping out what jobs will be required, and when, and indeed how we will orientate the community towards a future that is very different to the one that we may well think we will be facing right now,” he said.

Companies call for collaboration ENGIE boss together in electric dreams

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE Valley energy companies are calling for more collaboration with governments and policy makers to attract new industries to the region as it “inevitably” transitions away from coal.

ENGIE and EnergyAustralia executives fronted a Parliamentary Inquiry committee panel in Traralgon on Thursday, March 3.

EnergyAustralia chief operating officer Liz Westcott said the company had appointed an agency to help transition its workforce leading into the 2028 closure of the Yallourn Power Station.

Ms Westcott said the partnership would help to understand the workforce’s needs and develop a transitional support program with training, career planning, financial counselling and redeployment.

She said they also had a partnership between Star of the South, Federation University and TAFE Gippsland to map potential employment pathways from Yallourn to the offshore wind industry.

“For each of our people it will be different, some will retire, some will want to go onto a new career and others may have aspirations to start a small business,” Ms Westcott said.

“We know that the majority of our people want to stay in the Latrobe Valley following Yallourn’s closure and are seeking clarity on potential future employment opportunities in the region (that) will be critical to them.”

But, Ms Westcott said this was where government agencies such as the Latrobe Valley Authority played an essential role to provide advice on opportunities and attract new industries to the region.

She said funding directed to growing existing businesses and attracting new industries to the region ahead of Yallourn’s closure could assist in a smooth transition for the local economy.

By MICHELLE SLATER

Transition focus: Yallourn Power Station operators EnergyAustralia are among the companies calling for more collaboration with governments and policy makers. file photograph “We encourage governments at all levels to develop and implement policies that will create economic growth and deliver long-term, sustainable jobs for the region,” Ms Westcott said.

Ms Westcott said the company was about to begin community discussions on the future of the Yallourn site post-closure.

ENGIE chief executive Augustin Honorat also reiterated the need for increased partnerships between government, regulators and power station operators at all stages of the rehabilitation process.

Mr Honorat said governments and policy makers

should continue to develop and deploy policies that support the transition to net zero and facilitate investment in renewables.

“These policy drivers unlock the value of former power station sites, drive jobs and economic opportunities and maximise benefits for communities and the state,” Mr Honorat said.

“The transition away from coal is inevitable.

“It will continue happening in communities all around the world. The challenges borne from these closures are complex and difficult to manage to perfection.”

Fast and fair transition

Dodd shares insights

LOCAL primary school teacher, Jane Sultana believes it is important the Latrobe Valley undertakes a “fast and fair” transition to clean power.

Mrs Sultana appeared in front of the Legislative Council Economy and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday, March 2 to provide her insights into the impacts of the closure of Hazelwood, the impending Yallourn closure, and the future of the Latrobe Valley.

She pointed to the “sense of abandonment” felt following the SEC privatisation and the need for an appropriate transition plan.

“It is imperative that this sense of abandonment does not repeat itself with the closure of the Latrobe Valley’s coal fired power stations,” she said in her submission.

“Substantial, ongoing government assistance will be required for years to come, to help the community transition away from coal and to reap the benefits from the renewable energy revolution.”

Mrs Sultana is the wife of a Senior Technical Officer at the Yallourn Power Station.

He has been employed at the station for 41 years and is soon retiring.

A transition plan focusing on the move to renewable energy and the need to reskill and train workers and to help them secure long-term jobs was a major focus of Mrs Sultana’s submission.

She said she sees many opportunities for the Valley regarding education and training, renewable energy workforces and tourism.

Mrs Sultana discussed the need to move to clean, green energy and expressed her personal concerns for the future of her own relatives.

During questioning, Labor Member for Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing, asked Mrs Sultana what is needed from the federal government in terms of support.

“I just know that the climate crisis is worsening,” she said.

“I am frightened for my children’s future, for any grandchildren I may have in the future, we need to act. We need all levels of government coming together,” Mrs Sultana said.

“The Feds definitely need to lift their game, they don’t seem to feel that it’s a crisis.”

STEVE Dodd appeared at the power station inquiry on Tuesday, March 1 and provided evidence on behalf of the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council (GTLC).

Mr Dodd has been the secretary at GTLC for more than six years, and saw the impacts of Hazelwood’s closure in 2017.

In the hearing, Mr Dodd criticised the five months’ notice given by ENGIE prior to the station’s closure, stating that it was not enough time for the community to prepare.

“In regards to the shutdown of Hazelwood, we have the view that that was an ambush of our community by ENGIE ... it was a bit of a shock for all the guys and girls that worked out there,” he said.

“It didn’t really give much time to plan transitioning or anything like that.”

The GTLC is made up of 24 affiliated unions, which represent 15,000 members. They have worked in partnership with Latrobe Valley Authority in the delivery of the Worker Transition Service Support.

The organisation’s submission stated that 854 Hazelwood workers, contractors and families accessed their support services after the closure.

At the inquiry, Mr Dodd spoke of the community’s experience following the station’s sudden closure.

“A lot of those people were taken off guard, the community was taken off guard,” he said.

“It was a big hit for this region.”

Mr Dodd praised EnergyAustralia for its much earlier announcement of Yallourn’s 2028 closure.

“EnergyAustralia has really done the right thing by the community. That allows us to plan and try and see whether we can train up people and also look at new industries,” he said.

GTLC’s submission to the inquiry’s committee included ENGIE workers and contractors personal experiences with the services offered through GTLC. Many reported receiving training that helped them learn new skills and new employment, some reporting that the training they received through GTLC made them more employable.

ENERGY storage from household and electric vehicle batteries “is the future of the system”, according to the head of ENGIE who was fronting a Parliamentary Inquiry in Traralgon last week.

ENGIE chief executive Augustin Honorat was addressing a panel question on dealing with risks to energy supply as the market exited coal, at an Inquiry into the closure of Hazelwood and Yallourn.

Mr Honorat outlined the ability for car batteries to power an average household “for days”, as well as discharging stored energy back into the grid.

The French energy boss stated the company was in the midst of building a one-hour 150 megawatt grid scale battery at the former Hazelwood Power Station site.

However, he stressed it was just phase one in a plan to upscale into the future, with the site holding the capacity for 1600MW from the former coal generator.

“But this is just one part of the equation, the storage of electricity is the future of the system, but not just in very large batteries that we are developing and able to deliver,” Mr Honorat said.

“Decentralised storage and home storage, we see has incredible potential in Australia because of the penetration of rooftop solar, and install batteries to leverage the full potential of solar.

“The next thing will be electric vehicle batteries because we can see it not just as a car, but as a mobile battery. We can charge the battery in the day and discharge it in the night.”

Mr Honorat said ENGIE was trialling a pilot “vehicle to grid” program, for retail customers to monetise their car batteries.

He said ENGIE was also operating a “virtual power plant” with energy customers, by connecting and remotely managing a pool of home batteries, storing and releasing the energy when needed.

Mr Honorat acknowledged that EVs only made up one per cent of the Australian car pool, but pointed to Norway or France where there was 50 per cent more uptake in EVs than diesel vehicles.

He said a car battery was two-or-three times larger than an average household battery that could both charge from and discharge back into the network.

“This is a very smart and sophisticated way to manage the intermittency of renewables and you don’t need to upgrade the grid,” Mr Honorat told The Express.

“Storing energy where it’s consumed is the best way to avoid building expensive power lines between the generator and consumer, these are working assets and are operating now.

“Balancing the system will require storage.

Decentralising the energy system and reaching net zero with renewables is a clear strategy that makes sense to shareholders.

“But renewables by themselves are not sufficient as they are intermittent.”

Targets set: The state government is committing to deliver at least two gigawatts of offshore wind by 2032. file photographs

Blowing in the wind

transition as it delivers large scale, consistent and reliable renewable energy that complements onshore wind and solar.”

Victoria has the potential to support 13 GW of capacity from coastal regions by 2050, which is five times the state’s current renewable energy generation.

Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said Victoria’s offshore wind resources were “officially open for business”.

“But the real work starts now,” she said.

“We know it will take years to plan and develop the first tranche of wind projects in Australia, due to their complexity, scale, regulatory and infrastructure requirements.

“And we’re ready to start that journey today.”

Friends of the Earth Gippsland campaigner Wendy Farmer said it was a “win” for Gippsland, the climate and union movement which has been campaigning to kickstart a jobs-rich offshore wind sector.

Ms Farmer called for the federal government to step-up and match Victoria’s offshore wind ambitions.

“With the Yallourn coal fired power station set to close by 2028 at the latest, communities like the Latrobe Valley need all governments to show leadership on renewable energy,” Ms Farmer said.

“It’s time for (federal) Energy Minister Angus Taylor to get on with a Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone so these critical projects can get started.”

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE state government is committing to delivering at least two gigawatts of offshore wind by 2032, with another four gigawatts by 2035 and nine GW by 2040.

The first power from offshore wind is expected in 2028 following a competitive process.

The announcement was made last week as part of a Victorian Offshore Wind Policy Directions Paper.

The announcement is a shot-in-the-arm for large scale Gippsland offshore wind projects including Star of the South and the Floatation Energy 1.5GW Seadragon project off the coast of Sale.

It comes after the state government had already pledged $40 million for feasibility studies and preconstruction development for three major offshore wind proposals, including the two in Gippsland.

Flotation Energy Australian managing director Tim Sawyer welcomed the government’s commitment to accelerate offshore wind.

Mr Sawyer said Seadragon would create hundreds of local jobs, stimulate new supply chains and secure Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley as Victoria’s energy production hub.

“This is an important step that will unlock billions of dollars in new investment, create highly skilled jobs and open significant opportunities for the local supply chain,” Mr Sawyer said.

“Offshore wind is a key enabler in the energy

Billionaire’s offer shows the hand of federal government

Beautiful old trees are the victim of progress

REGIONAL Roads Victoria (RRV) has announced that it has awarded the contract to replace the Latrobe River Bridge on Tyers/ Traralgon Road with work to begin in April.

RRV said on ABC radio that it will cut down 18 ‘mature’ Strzelecki Gums.

Their permit allows 49 of this threatened species and two hectares of native vegetation to be removed.

Destroying this many Strzelecki Gums has been deemed a threat to the species, and RRV have been required to offset this by planting seedlings.

Planting more Strzelecki Gums is something that should have been done for the recovery of the species anyway.

Local people and groups including The Latrobe Valley Field Naturalist Club understand the value of large old habitat trees and objected to the unnecessary removal of trees to widen 600 metres of road to the width of a highway.

Many birds, bats and other wildlife rely on these trees for their crucial hollows.

Large mature trees also provide blossom for food, bark for insects and microbats, shade, and many other benefits.

Saplings won’t be able to provide useful hollows for some species until they have reached the age of 80-100 years.

Offsets being seen as compensation for tree removal are not unique to this site. We would like the public to be aware that these measures often fail.

Often there is no follow up and implementation in the years after the initial vegetation was cleared.

GP1639892

Regional Roads Victoria’s claim that seedlings were given to Catchment Management and Landcare groups doesn’t mean that these were planted in suitable places or that they will be looked after to ensure their survival.

Roadwork is one of the major threats to remnant stands of the critically endangered Strzelecki Gums, (Eucalyptus Strzeleckii is listed as Critically Endangered under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act Threatened List 2021) and even small losses add incrementally to habitat and biodiversity loss leading to extinction.

It will be a great sadness to see these beautiful old trees destroyed for unnecessarily expansive roadworks.

This is the very definition of abject failure

WITH reference to the play equipment installed in Apex Park in Moe - that was manufactured in Finland and paid for via the Latrobe Valley Authority (Liveability of our towns pivotal – The Express, 23/2/22) - it’s important to rebuke claims made by the Latrobe City CEO suggesting that play equipment cannot be purchased or manufactured locally.

For starters, a blow-mould manufacturer that provides play equipment to McDonald’s resides in Morwell known as Kiel Industries.

Secondly, the Australian Standards - that govern the construction and installation of play equipment in Australia - can be purchased online via Standards Australia Store, by anyone, for a few thousand dollars.

This suggests that any local business can tender and compete for local projects with ease should they have the right support from our local and leading bodies to do so.

Given the budget for this project was $236,000, a few thousand dollars to purchase the standards and assist a local manufacturer procure and manufacture equipment would seem like a worthwhile investment.

In fact, the large play equipment built out of wood in Elgin Street in Morwell met standards at the time of construction.

So there is nothing to suggest such a project, or one similar fabricated with steel, couldn’t have been replicated this time around. Evidence would suggest that council and other bodies didn’t have the desire to do so in this instance despite the need to create local jobs.

The fact that four individual entities, including the state government, Latrobe Valley Authority, council, and a community group, didn’t sound the alarm that money meant to stimulate the local economy in the wake of power station closures was being sent to Finland, is the very definition of abject failure.

IF there was any question about the Federal Liberal-National Coalition being a shopfront for the fossil fuel industry, it was answered recently when multi-billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes announced his offer to buy AGL. As well as buying AGL he plans to spend a further $20 billion investing in wind, solar, big batteries and pumped hydro storage to replace the capacity lost by closing AGL’s ageing power stations within 10 years.

Instead of welcoming this “can-do capitalism” investing in “state of the art technology”, which PM Scott Morrison was spruiking at COP27 in Glasgow, he and Angus Taylor went into scare mode saying it would destabilise the grid and increase electricity prices.

All the recent evidence from South Australia and Victoria indicates that grids can run successfully with high renewables which reduce wholesale electricity prices.

Can anyone who believes that climate change has to be addressed possibly give their vote to the LNP at the coming election?

A vote for the LNP is simply a vote to keep heating the planet.

The school captains were announced last year and actually began their role by presenting a banner at the celebration Mass of the 50th celebration of both St. Vincent’s church and Sacred Heart church in December last year.

The four senior students are excited and looking forward to their new role and the tasks that come with the leadership position.

The first day for the Foundation grade started with uncertainty and hesitation from both parents and students.

Energy giant wants locals to answer call for new jobs ENERGYAUSTRALIA is looking to recruit Latrobe Valley locals to work in permanent, home-based customer sales and service roles for the company’s first fully remote call centre.

The 30 roles are combined service and sales call centre agents to start on April 4.

EnergyAustralia head of people and culture Jodie Haydon said the company had begun re-designing its approach to work well before COVID, through its Energise program.

“One of the ways we keep our people energised is by embracing flexible working. Now we’ve decided to take this a step further, developing a team who’ll work completely from home,” Ms Haydon said.

“As the team won’t need to come into our Melbourne or Geelong offices, or any office, we’ve decided to focus on the Latrobe Valley in our search.

“We’re sure it’s got a lot of untapped talent who’ll be just right for these roles.”

Ms Haydon said she was especially encouraging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply.

She said these jobs were a big opportunity for regional workers.

“It’s providing access to careers that in the past you would have needed to live in a major city to get. Our view is that as long as the work gets done, it doesn’t matter where it’s done,” Ms Haydon said.

“Plus, we know that what people expect of employers is changing and EnergyAustralia is evolving to meet the new demands.

“Some people we’ve already recruited to join the remote team have said they’re excited about never having to commute – it’ll give them more time in their day to do the things they love.”

AGL Energy knocks back second takeover bid AGL Energy has formally rejected a second takeover bid from billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and Canadian asset manager Brookfield.

The duo made an offer of $8.25 a share for Australia’s leading electricity generator on Friday night.

The figure topped their initial offer of $7.50 a share made last month.

AGL’s board met on Sunday and elected to reject the second offer.

“The AGL Energy board considered that the revised unsolicited proposal is still well below both the fair value of the company on a change of

control basis, and relative to the expected value of the proposed demerger,” the company said in a statement.

AGL’s chairman Peter Botten said the revised unsolicited proposal continued to ignore “the opportunity” that shareholders would have once the company’s planned demerger into two separate firms would bring.

AGL plans to split into a mainly generating unit, Accel Energy, and a retailing entity, AGL Australia, with the proposed demerger expected to be finalised by June 30.

DAY LABOUR

The significance of Labour Day

FOR the majority, Labour Day represents a long weekend, a weekend to enjoy family time and friendships.

However, the working rights we all enjoy today should not be taken for granted.

Beginning with the Eight Hour Day Movement of the 1850s which advocated for eight hours of work, and eight hours of rest. In 1856, on April 21, the Eight Day March was organised in protest, and the government agreed to make changes to the rights of workers.

Public celebration marches and parades continued each year with the Eight Hour Day renamed Labour Day in 1934.

The final march was held in Melbourne in 1951, after a decline through the depression and the Second World War. However, in 1955 a new celebration of marches and parades were introduced, Moomba, to replace the marches that celebrated the victory of workers in the Eight Hour Day campaign.

Moving forward to 2022, there’s many who work outside of the eight hours, shift workers, fly in –fly outs, and many more, and MOOMBA is recognised as a major event in Melbourne’s calendar, but we all should reflect on ‘just how lucky we are, the working conditions we enjoy, and where it all began.’

Latrobe Orchestra seeking musicians

By TOM PARRY

THE Latrobe Orchestra are on a desperate hunt to find new players.

The Traralgon-based ensemble is encouraging musicians of any age and experience to join their rehearsals in preparation for future concerts and performances.

Committee member and clarinet player Alison Teychenne said that the Latrobe Orchestra has members from “all walks of life.”

“We’ve got schoolchildren, we’ve got young professionals, we have people with caring responsibilities… and we have retirees who are just looking for ways to stay engaged with the community,” Ms Teychenne said.

Latrobe Orchestra musical director Colin Iversen also talked up the benefits for older players.

“There are endless studies talking about the importance of music in the way children develop, but in fact (for) older people… it becomes a really powerful part of maintaining connections with other people and with the community,” Mr Iversen said.

The Orchestra boasts players from across the Gippsland region, including Sale, Stratford and Maffra, with a strong connection to the latter.

“We perform with the Maffra Municipal Band each year, so we share lots of players with them as well,” Ms Teychenne said.

“And lots of our players are involved with (Maffra’s) strings program and their concert band program too.”

The Orchestra performs a mix of traditional and contemporary classical orchestral music, ranging from Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, so as to appease everybody involved – those who listen, and those who perform in the ensemble.

“I try (to) find stuff that … I enjoy conducting, but also that the Orchestra will enjoy playing, and so far I’ve been pretty good at doing that,” Mr Iversen said.

Rehearsals take place during school term on Thursday evenings in the Kath Teychenne Centre, Traralgon – named after Ms Teychenne’s grandmother, a founding member of the Orchestra.

The younger Ms Teychenne believes that it is important to carry on her grandma’s legacy because the things she valued and saw important to Gippslanders are still relevant today.

“She saw the important place music has in people’s lives, how making music together breaks down all sorts of social barriers, how regional areas often miss high-quality musical exposure and opportunities for purely geographical reasons, and how good for the soul sharing music-making with others is,” Ms Teychenne said.

Violinists, trombonists and percussionists who are fully vaccinated against COVID are particularly being urged to join.

HOROSCOPES

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore March 7 - March 13, 2022

Aries Your patron planet Mars joins Venus,

Saturn and Mercury (until Thursday) in the quirky sign of Aquarius, in your hopes-andwishes zone. So – when it comes to your goals and dreams – it’s important to stretch yourself in innovative new directions and think outside the box. Your inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Aries actress/producer Reese Witherspoon: “I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.”

Taurus At the start of the week

compassionate Venus (your ruling planet) is still linked closely with dynamic Mars. So it’s time to roll up your sleeves and be proactive about helping others. Can you do some volunteer work, start a fundraiser or organise a working bee? Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Taurus actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”

GGemini Mercury (your power planet)

moves into Pisces on Thursday, which amplifies your chameleon-like qualities – your talent for being what you think other people want you to be. But is that such a good idea? The Sun and Jupiter encourage you to shine your authentic light for the world to see. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day comes from Gemini entertainer Judy Garland: “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

Cancer Trusting your intuition and helping

others are the main themes this week. It’s time to think philosophically and feel an essential part of a wider community. Your thoughts are important, your words matter and your actions can make a difference. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day comes from fellow Cancerian, Princess Diana: “Carry out a random act of kindness,, with no exppectation of reward,, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

Leo Partnerships are important this week as

Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn activate your relationship zone. Then the Sun (your power planet) links up with Neptune on Sunday. It’s your annual ‘Super Creativity Day’ when you can express the muse within, in your highly individual way. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day comes from Leo singer-songwriter Tori Amos: “Being stylish is about enjoying your life and expressing yourself and your inner light.”

Virgo g Obsessive Virgos can get stuck in the

lackadaisical. But this week the universe gives you a brisk kick up the backside as dynamic Mars links up with Venus (your patron planet), which makes you more proactive than usual. So it’s a great week to initiate, instigate, negotiate, collaborate and create. Your inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Libran actress and activist, Susan Sarandon: “I take responsibility for the ups and downs of my life, and that it very liberating.”

Scorpio p Watch out for stubbornly holding a fixed poosition: you’re probably not seeing the full picture. If you listen to family, friends and work colleagues (from home and away) then you’ll gain a much wider perspective. If you are at the receiving end of some stern words from a loved one, accept the criticism with good grace and then move on. Your quote for International Women’s Day is from fellow Scorpion, Vogue editor Anna Wintour: “I try to remain very open to what others have to say.”

Team effort: Manifesting teamwork were St Paul’s Year 7 students Angie, Eliza, Sienna (Year 10 Peer Support Leader), Sienna and Hallie.

St Paul’s Year 7 Peer Support Camp helps build friendships

Sagittarius g News bulletins and

notiffications can be depressing, so steer clear of negative influences that bring you down.

Surround yourself with positive people, in your family/friendship circle and within your local neighborhood. You’ll find the close community connections you foster now will prove beneficial in the future. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Sagittarian singer-songwriter Taylor Swift: “Never believe anyone who tells you that you don’t deserve what you want.”

Capricorn p Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturrn are in your money zone, so look for ways to build firm foundations for the future. Then Mercury joins the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune in your neighbourhood zone, which is wonderful for fostering positive feelings within your local community. Your quote for International Women’s Day is from fellow Capricorn, Michelle Obama: “The difference between a broken community and a thrivingg one is the presence of women who are valued.”

FRIENDSHIPS were forged and confidence fostered during the recent Year 7 Peer Support Leader Camp for St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School students.

Held at Camp Rumbug in the beautiful South Gippsland hills, the adventure-filled Year 7 Peer Support Camp is part of the St Paul’s Year 7 Transition Program.

Student peer support leaders extend beyond teacher involvement to provide additional support in establishing a sense of belonging and wellness amongst students as they find their feet in secondary school.

Year 10 Peer Support Leaders were on hand

to mentor and support the younger pupils as they gained the confidence to venture outside of their comfort zones during the activities meant to challenge and enhance teamwork.

There were smiles all around from students during activities that included abseiling, flying fox, canoeing, raft building and the ever-popular mud run.

The Year 7 students have returned to school, tired from walking the Gippsland hills, but are ready to face the secondary years ahead as they pursue their potential in their studies and co-curricular endeavours.

Leading the way: Year 10 Peer Support Leader Alice showed the younger students how to do a challenging activity.

Up to the task: Being challenged was St Paul’s Year 7 student Emma. photographs supplied

andd Saturn are all activating your sign, Aquarius.

So it’s time to be bold, beautiful, clever and classy.

Set an ambitious goal and then work towards it with style, substance and stamina. Stretch your dreams in inventive, imaginative new directions.

Your inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Aquarian talk show host, author and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey: “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”

Pisces Pisceans are inspirational people. This

week there are four planets in your sign (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune) and three planets in your imagination/escaping zone (Venus, Mars, Saturn). So you’ll feel like daydreaming, visualising and creating even more than usual as you paint, draw, dance, write, sing or play music. Your quote for International Women’s Day is from entertainer Liza Minnelli (born on March 12, 1946): “Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.”

So your challenge this week is to step back, slow down, stop over-thinking things and learn to live in the moment.

Kossie students start the year with a splash CONDITIONS were almost perfect when Kosciuszko Street Primary School held its first swimming carnival since 2019 at the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre (GRAC) in Traralgon recently.

Students from Years 3-6 gathered in one of four house groups to compete, support each other, and gain points for their team.

There was lots of cheering and chanting from students, teachers, and parents there to support their children, giving the day a real carnival atmosphere.

Teams were well led by House Captains and we saw many students compete in many events.

Red House led the way in the cheering, being heard both near and far.

After the official part of the day was done students participated in team novelty relays including kickboards, noodles, boogie boards and rings.

To finish the day off everyone, including teachers, got to have a splash in the pool or get involved in a game of House Team tiggy to gain even more points for their house.

The successful team on the day was Gold House led by captains, Katy and Hudson.

Several students went onto represent Kosciuszko Street Primary at the district swimming carnival held the following week.

Rings around the competition: Mahli and Abigail competing in the novelty events.

Tight finish: Joey and Oliver battle it out to the very end in the breaststroke.

Look at them go: Red House members Emersen and Saranya check out the action in the pool.

Touch down: Elizabeth hits the wall first in the freestyle.

Heard near and far: Red House cheer on their swimmers.

The Guide CELEBRITY LETTERS AND NUMBERS SBS, Saturday, 7.30pm

Ordinary folk can turn out to be not so “ordinary” as they show off their impressive brain matter in this lighthearted and fun game show.

But plunk a few celebrities into the mathematical and alphabetical flurry and the entertainment level goes up a few decibels. This week, host Michael Hing (pictured) is joined by comedians Benjamin Law, Concetta Caristo, Bob Downe and Carlo Ritchie in a test of their word and numerical resourcefulness.

COMPASS ABC TV Plus, Sunday, 7.30pm

After more than 30 years of stories revolving around the intersection between religion and life, recently Compass has branched out with a series of “sacred space” episodes. This week, these insightful and intimate instalments return with journalist, podcaster and TV host Marc Fennell opening up his safe space: the kitchen. He chats with host Geraldine Doogue (pictured with Fennell) about his Pentecostal upbringing, multicultural family, complex relationship with food, as well as his hopes for Australia.

SCOTLAND: ESCAPE TO THE WILDERNESS SBS, Monday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK THE TEACHER ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

Starring Sheridan Smith (Gavin & Stacey, pictured), there’s more than a whiff of melodrama and cheesy dialogue in the four-part British drama. The Teacher is a wayward cocktail of inappropriate behaviour, jealous colleagues and backstabbing friends, which all sounds very promising until it gives you a headache. Is it the story of a popular teacher going off the rails, or a case of some bad decisions and nefarious students? Time will tell, if you choose to partake in this fizzy tale of a flawed female.

It all begins to go pear-shaped as English teacher Jenna Garvey (Smith) is accused of sleeping with her pupil after a night out celebrating a promotion.

The past couple of years have highlighted that escaping to some sort of wilderness is high on many peoples’ wish lists. But we can’t all just pack up and leave, which is where this charmingly therapeutic series punches above its weight. It features wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin (pictured) adventuring with celebrities through Scotland’s picturesque landscapes. This week, actor Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) joins Yassin in the Inner Hebrides and the Isle of Mull.

Defib for Yallourn North YALLOURN North locals are being invited to take part of a free CPR course this month being run by Ambulance Victoria to go along with a new defibrillator in town.

The new Automated External Defibrillator will be mounted outside the Yallourn North Foodworks.

Local paramedics will teach locals how to use the AED and carry out CPR as well as learning more about the GoodSAM Responder program.

Ambulance Victoria community engagement liaison coordinator Cameron Rothnie said the new AED would give locals a better chance of surviving cardiac arrest.

“A cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart suddenly stops beating and stops pumping blood effectively around the body. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere,” Mr Rothnie said.

“Minutes matter and we know that when bystanders act to call 000, begin CPR and shock using an AED, a person’s chance of survival goes up by 72 percent.”

Yallourn North’s newest defibrillator has been registered with Ambulance Victoria, which allows Triple Zero call-takers to direct people to the device in a medical emergency.

Mr Rothnie said anyone can use an AED, regardless of whether they have received training to do so by simply following the verbal instructions.

He also encouraged locals to become GoodSAM responders, by downloading a lifesaving smartphone app that connects responders to those in cardiac arrest and the nearest AED. “You will only receive an alert if you are nearby to the person in cardiac arrest,” he said.

“You will be given the address of the patient, along with the location of the closest defibrillator - if one is available - so you can begin lifesaving care while an ambulance is on its way.”

Mr Rothnie said you don’t need to have a first-aid qualification to join the GoodSAM program.

“Anyone can save a life by downloading the GoodSAM App and knowing how to perform chest compressions or CPR,” he said.

“You don’t have to have experience or a medical background, you just have to be willing and able to do hands-on CPR, be over 18 years of age and have access to a smartphone.”

The free Ambulance Victoria CPR and Automated External Defibrillator course will be held at the Yallourn North Hall, on Tuesday, March 15 from 3pm to 5pm.

Traineeships in water on offer

GIPPSLAND Water is offering traineeships for high school graduates interested in careers in the water industry.

The organisation is offering two-year water and wastewater treatment traineeships for two people, and a single four-year electronics and communication traineeship.

Managing director Sarah Cumming said the organisation wanted to create pathways for people to build rewarding careers right here in Gippsland.

“We know that particularly for girls and women there can be barriers to entering a career in the water industry. One barrier can be misunderstanding that you need to complete a TAFE course or university degree before gaining employment with us,” Ms Cumming said.

“Through these traineeships, we’re offering people full-time employment and hands-on experience, while they gain a nationally recognised qualification at work.

With good prospects for ongoing employment at the end, these traineeships can lead to a fulfilling career with us.”

Multi-skilled operator specialist Lillee Hardy began her career at Gippsland Water as a water operations trainee in 2017.

“I enjoyed experiencing the different parts of the water and wastewater treatment plants, learning how it all worked and applying the written knowledge to the field,” Ms Hardy said.

“I learnt how to work seamlessly within a team.

I also gained a lot more confidence in myself and my abilities.”

Three traineeships are available for students who have completed Year 12 or equivalent.

Two trainees will gain a Certificate III in Water Industry Operations, with one gaining a Certificate IV in Electronics & Communications, worth $30,000.

Applications are open now and close Wednesday, March 23.

Survey of your satisfaction is now underway LATROBE City Council residents may soon receive a phone call inviting them to participate in the state government’s annual Community Satisfaction Survey, undertaken

by National Field Services (NFS).

The Community Satisfaction Survey aims to assess council’s performance in a variety of areas to help identify opportunities for improvement and more effective service delivery for residents.

The survey started on February 26 and runs for a period of three weeks.

NFS, an independent market research agency, will conduct phone interviews with the community and feedback will guide council’s approach to core operations.

Residents are assured their details and individual responses will remain confidential.

Only the overall results are shared with council.

If you have any questions, please phone Latrobe City’s Customer Service Team on 1300 367 700.

“Community members are our customers, and we want to understand what is working and what can be improved upon. Council will review the feedback and implement changes where necessary to ensure residents are receiving services in the most efficient manner, helping to make Latrobe City an even better place to live, work and play,” Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said.

community corner Latrobe Valley Model Aero Club’s 50th anniversary

THE club came about when a meeting was called for Wednesday, March 15, 1972 at the youth club hall in Traralgon.

Thirteen people attended and a motion was put forward that a Model Club be formed.

The vote was unanimous in favour and the Latrobe Valley Model Aircraft Club (LVMAC) was the name chosen and a sub-committee was formed to work out a constitution.

The inaugural meeting of the LVMAC was held on August 19, 1972 with 16 interested people attending.

The proposed constitution was adopted and a committee was duly elected to run the club.

Meetings were to be held in Barry Felmingham’s Panel Works in Traralgon and all types of flying (Control Line, Free Flight, Radio Control & Thermal Gliding) were to be at the clubs main field at “Cairnbrook,” via Glengarry and a second site at Copelands Rd, Warragul, as we had several members from the Warragul area.

Since 1972, monthly meetings have been held on first Wednesday of each month and our official Monthly Flyday is on the following Sunday.

Currently our Monthly Meetings are held at the Latrobe Valley Regional Airport.

The club’s main flying site moved to Ryan Field at Tyers in 1974 and we flew from this site for 15 years.

Many cars would stop along the road and watch the models fly and crash.

The club became incorporated in 1984 and the name was changed to the Latrobe Valley Model Aero Club (incorporated).

The models were getting bigger and faster and needed more space, so the Club moved the main flying site back to “Cairnbrook” in1989 and flew there until moving to a new site at Lake Narracan in 2000 where we could fly our model aircraft from the Land or the Lake.

The Warragul site was lost to development in April 2017 and a new site was found not too far from the old site.

The club also had a flying site at Blue Rock Dam for several years, which is now in the hands of another club.

The club has had up to 72 members in the past and currently has 43 members and we fly at our Lake Narracan and Warragul sites, several times each week (weather permitting).

The club is planning a “Fly-in” and some social celebrations later this year to celebrate our 50-year anniversary, so if any past members out there would like to come along and catch up, or if you have an interest in Model Aviation and want to learn to fly RC, you are quite welcome to visit us at Lake Narracan.

Contact the secretary on 0422 627 169 for more information.

Rosedale and District Historical Society

ANYONE with family connections or interest in the history of Rosedale

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

Members of the society will meet visitors at the gazebo inside the main gate at 1pm where Mr Graham will talk about the history and layout of the cemetery, then the walk will commence viewing many of the final resting places of the pioneers.

Visitors are encouraged to have suitable weather protection subject to the weather on the day and appropriate enclosed footwear as cemeteries are often a home for snakes.

We would love to share all this recorded information with you and take you all on a trip down memory lane.

Our doors will be open at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start and for a small entry fee of $5 you will receive a good old fashioned supper.

If you are unable to manage our front steps, the side door will be open for you.

Whether you have lived here for a long time or a short time there will be something of interest for you.

This is also a great opportunity to visit our rooms and appreciate the dedication of our volunteers who diligently record our town’s history.

Mark the date in your diary and bring along your family and friends.

As per government rulings proof of double vaccination is required for entry.

We hope to see you all there.

Strzelecki Bushwalking Club

PADDLING has been a very popular activity for a number of Strzelecki Bushwalking Club members.

The most recent destination was Blue Rock Dam, attracting 10 paddlers and a variety of watercraft which included sea kayaks, inflatable kayaks, sit on tops and a Canadian canoe.

The paddle also ventured up the Tanjil River arm, resulting in an overall distance of around 22km for the day.

As well as paddling, recent walks have been well supported with destinations including the Strzelecki Ranges, Baw Baws, Bass Coast and East Gippsland.

The East Tyers track is the club’s adopted track which like many other popular destinations recently suffered terrible storm damage, necessitating an extensive working bee.

Volunteers from Strzelecki were joined by two volunteers from Bushwalking, Tracks and Conservation (BTAC), with the approval of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning who are the managers over the land the track exists on.

Together they were able to clear sections of the track and improve access for the many walkers who enjoy this beautiful area on the outskirts of Erica.

The March meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday, March 9 at the Scout Hall in Trafalgar.

The focus will be a presentation on the Avenza app and other mobile apps.

Further information is available on the website at sbwc.org.au, on our Facebook page or by contacting publicity@sbwc.org.au

Pet adoption for the month of March

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

PETSTOCK Traralgon are hosting National Pet Adoption Month this March.

The initiative is aimed at improving the lives of rescue pets in need of temporary or permanent homes and Traralgon PETstock are partnering with local organisation, Grounded Paws Animal Rescue (GPAR).

Latrobe Valley locals can visit Traralgon PETstock on Saturday, March 19 to meet rescue pets available for adoption or fostering.

GPAR will be bringing approximately 15 cats down to PETstock to meet prospective adopters.

The team at PETstock Traralgon are passionate about the initiative and are encouraging Latrobe Valley locals to get involved.

Traralgon PETstock store manager Lysa Kewish is excited to be hosting the event.

“It’s a great day, the support from local people is amazing,” Ms Kewish said.

“It is such a good opportunity.”

This month PETstock is encouraging people to shift their thinking to how they can make sustainable choices, removed biases toward pet adoption and consider those pets most in need.

This adoption day will have a special focus on seniors and bonded pairs.

GPAR manager Shellie Chessum will be bringing approximately 15 cats down to PETstock on adoption day.

“We will still follow our adoption process,” she said.

However, there is the potential for pets to the brought home the same day.

This is not the first time GPAR have partnered with PETstock, and Ms Chessum said that previous years have been very successful.

PETstock have supported GPAR “from the beginning”, something their team of volunteers is very grateful for. Every year 80,000 urban stray cats are killed by councils across Australia, according to PetRescue.

The initiative is run by PETstock Assist, the organisation’s charity, which is committed to positively impacting the lives of pets and families through providing education, raising awareness and providing donations.

PETstock Assist’s Charity and Events lead Jessica Curtis said that reviewing

Adoption: PETstock assistant manager Karli and Shellie Magnuson, Billie Chessum a ws Animal Chessum from Ground Paw am member Rescue and PETstock tea Chloe Balcombe.

current trends in pet homelessness is important.

“The pet adoption landscape changess rapidly, and this year we’re seeing more cats available for adoption compared to t other animals, closely followed by large dogss and bonded pairs - animals that have entered rescue together and need to be adopted togeth her,” Ms Curtis said.

“Growing your family to include an adopted cat, large dog or bonded pair will not only o enrich your life, but also the life of the adopteed pet by offering them a safe and loving environ nment to thrive in.”

Clock ticks down to start of season FOOTBALL COMMENT

By LIAM DURKIN

DOES anyone realise the country footy season starts in less than four weeks?

If anyone else is feeling as though there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of excitement surrounding the upcoming season, you are not alone.

I must say, in all my years playing, watching and reporting on local footy, season 2022 takes the unwanted title of being the one carrying the least amount of hype.

Ordinarily at this time of year there is no shortage of discussion surrounding how teams are shaping up, conversations about what is happening at club land and rumours circulating how much such and such is getting paid.

But this year? While I have heard a bit, most of it unsubstantiated, it is nothing compared to previous years.

Granted clubs only talk when they’re recruiting, yet the apparent lack of anticipation for what season 2022 might bring is bewildering to say the least.

Perhaps it is to do with the uncertainty, perhaps it is to do with the mental drain of getting up for a third preseason after the last two led to a grand total of 10 games, or perhaps it is simply a case of the last two years making people realise there is in fact more to life than footy.

The hesitancy is understandable. I think people were prepared to cop not playing in 2020 under the assumption it would only add to the thrill of what was to come the following year. When it happened again it reached a ‘why bother’ stage.

At least in 2020 you knew there was no chance the season would get off the ground. Last year you still had to front up, most of the time with the vaguest amount of optimism you were actually working toward something.

It was like logging on trying to purchase tickets for a major concert you knew you didn’t have much chance of actually getting a ticket to - but you do it anyway just to be sure.

Often you would leave home in the morning with your bag packed ready for training, only to find out hours later you were being plunged into lockdown that night.

I lost count of how many ‘last suppers’ were had.

Clubs more than likely lost count of how many functions, anniversaries and reunions were cancelled, not to mention how much canteen stock was wasted.

Just how many player milestones were denied?

I myself worked out I should be on at least 150 games by now.

It is strange how players say milestone matches don’t mean much to them. To play 200 or 300 games for one club is a moment and a person to be celebrated. Just as it is for the local legend who has been on the gate or behind the bar for 50 years.

The trainers, the board members, the support staff, they are all a team themselves, wearing the same colours, fighting with the same passion in devotion for their footy club.

Where else but a football club can such an eclectic group of people come together to share in a common purpose?

Look at a team singing the song following a win.

There is a good chance the circle will be linked by players standing arm-in-arm ranging from doctors and lawyers to tradies and truck drivers.

Society says people from those walks of life shouldn’t mix. Football says otherwise.

These are the characters that help make up the fabric of a football club. Clubs are a place where an emphasis on good will, sense of duty and pride in work all merge to help bring hope and moments of sheer joy. And it’s a great deal of fun as well.

Many towns in Gippsland don’t have a lot in terms of physical buildings, but they do have a footy club. These are places that serve a greater purpose than being a general assembly of people. They are hubs for the community, meeting places, places to socialise, laugh and sometimes even cry. You can see that good things come out of football clubs. The club to which I belong and the club to which you belong might be different, but it is equally special and an integral part of your life.

Think of how soulless some towns in Gippsland would be if it wasn’t for the football/netball club.

Some of them are ghost towns during the week but become a small metropolis every second Saturday.

Surely this sense of community is too great an ideal to lose on the back of two challenging years.

Looking at the narratives and subplots attached to our local clubs it is surprising then that there is such little excitement, for it would seem there is actually plenty to be excited about.

Could Traralgon be this season’s bolter in the Gippsland League? The Maroons have added former Port Adelaide player Brett Eddy, who will surely complete one of the best forward lines in the competition working alongside Jake Best and Dylan Loprese.

Eddy will be just one of many ex-AFL players running around in Gippsland next season. Warragul to the west has Jed Lamb and Nick Graham, Bairnsdale to the east has Logan Austin all trying to resurrect the fortunes of their respective sides.

In total, seven of the league’s 10 member clubs will have AFL experience on their lists. Such quality

Time to get excited: Country football provides the heartbeat to many towns in Gippsland (Yarram pictured). will surely make the Gippsland League the highest standard it has been in recent memory.

Morwell already has a succession plan in place with Boyd Bailey set to succeed Denis Knight. The Tigers could surprise a few this season, Morwell’s rivalry matches with Traralgon and Moe always make for compulsive viewing.

And what of the Lions? They were still hanging people the last time Moe won a flag. Will this finally be the year they bury 55 years’ worth of torment?

Imagine the outpouring of emotion if it actually happens.

They’ll be a parade and a public holiday.

Season 2022 could be the year we see a number of droughts broken.

Hill End won the hearts of most in 2019, making their first Mid Gippsland grand final since 1982.

The Hillmen looked a good chance of winning it last season before being stopped in their tracks, and will surely be eager to go again.

Standing in their way though could be Mirboo North, a team that just seems to come from nowhere and win premierships when they have even the slightest opening. Morwell East could be another, and certainly on paper look to have a list profile that suggests they will be contending.

I’m hearing good things out of Fish Creek. We saw possibly the embodiment of football culture last season when they managed to knock off Yinnar despite having virtually their entire senior team unavailable due to travel restrictions. How much a club means to a small town was surely seen earlier in the day when a call-to-arms was made to successfully field a reserves team.

The Kangaroos had never forfeited a reserves match before, and COVID or no COVID, weren’t prepared to make last season the first.

Yinnar themselves are a proud club, you only have to look at the upkeep of its facility to know that.

Not far from Yinnar, Boolarra and Thorpdale look like they will only get better.

The Demons have been busy on the recruiting front and appear to have assembled a whole new team. The Blues were arguably the most improved Mid Gippy side last season. Their first victory in more than 1000 days made headlines around the state.

You would mark Newborough down as another team set to improve. The Bulldogs should be resurgent under club legend Craig Skinner and with a host of former players returning. If you were writing a story previewing Newborough’s season you would have to borrow from The Blues Brothers - “we’re putting the band back together”.

While the Bulldogs might be on a mission from God, the ‘new six’ that crossed from the Alberton league are on a mission to create history in the MGFNL. Some other relative new comers to various leagues will be hoping to avoid a case of second year blues.

Yallourn Yallourn North and Trafalgar each slotted in seamlessly to the North Gippsland and Ellinbank league last season.

The Jets had a percentage of 228.80, the Bloods an 8-2 record.

The Bloods are being coached by an ex-Newborough player in Tom Hallinan - as Bob Dylan said “the times they are a-changin’”.

Page 40 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 9 March, 2022

The Jets and Woodside were the top-two teams in North Gippsland last season.

The number of one-point wins Woodside snuck last season was astonishing. Whether or not these results are flipped only adds to the intrigue of what could be coming this season for a team carrying huge sentimental favouritism.

A little further down the road is Yarram.

You can often tell a lot about a town and its people by the way in which the footy club operates. The dairy farming people of Yarram appear to abide by a work-hard, play-hard mentality. Just as they rise early to milk the cows and unwind once the work is done, a similar approach is taken to their footy. No nonsense, just get the job done.

Closer to home, Churchill is another where players and supporters sense of attachment to the football club appears strong - almost tribal.

This loyalty has meant the Cougars have usually had a nucleus of quality senior players to keep it among one of the stronger sides in the competition.

At Churchill, it seems winning is demanded more than it is expected.

Then there is Glengarry and Traralgon Tyers United. Who will ever forget the Magpies winning the 2013 grand final in extra time? Those in the black and white will be hoping the Glengarry of today are able to channel some of the power from that day in their bid to rise a few places this season.

The Bombers had all teams qualify for finals last season, with their seconds and thirds both finishing inside the top-two. Having similar depth this season will surely bode well in their quest to take out the title.

Sale City has a new coach in Nathan Thomas, as does Heyfield in Kodie Woodland. Rosedale is tipped to be thereabouts, Cowwarr perhaps not so much, but they generally give most sides a run for their money.

Gormandale, surely everyone’s second favourite team, haven’t won a game since 2018. Upon his appointment, I said to incoming coach Chris Potalej he had taken on probably the hardest coaching job in Gippsland. He replied with ‘I know, but there is just something about the place’.

There lies part of the beauty of football. It has a way of drawing you in when every logical part of you says not to. It’s something that unless you are directly involved you can never completely understand.

Back to the Gippsland League, interest will surround Maffra under new coach Anthony Robbins. Grand finals are like Christmas at the Eagles, they come around every year.

The Eagles biggest rival, Sale, are always a tough team to beat, especially at home. The rivalry has only intensified since former Maffra player Jack Johnstone took the coaching job.

Sale is home to possibly the greatest Collingwood player of all time in Scott Pendlebury. Drouin is home to possibly the greatest player of all time Ablett Senior.

Heading south, Leongatha is a club that just does great things. Wonthaggi looks to be on the verge of doing great things.

The Parrots have played in the last five grand finals. The Power came from nowhere to make their most recent grand final.

photograph liam durkin

If you wanted to see true emotion you should have seen the 2014 preliminary final. Wonthaggi came from 45 points down at three quarter time and won.

The ground was flooded with people, strangers were hugging players out on the ground, grown men were crying. It was absolute pandemonium.

Those who thought football wasn’t a matter of life and death didn’t think to tell the Wonthaggi players in the last quarter. They played as if their lives depended on the result.

Some years later I wrote a feature story on the match. Speaking to Power coach Rob Railton and asking how they managed to pull it off he simply said “the scoreboard never dictates effort”.

Those words have stayed with me ever since. How much that can be applied to not just football but life.

In my travels recently I was required to be in Kilcunda by 9.30am on a Saturday.

Driving from Traralgon, I headed through Leongatha and past the football ground, momentarily casting an eye over the oval, curious but for no real reason as to whether or not the Parrots were training. They weren’t on this occasion.

A little while later I was in Wonthaggi. With time on my side I thought I would make a slight detour and go check out the footy ground.

An empty footy ground carries a slightly haunting feel. It is just you and your thoughts, out there in the open theatre, engaging the senses, trying to become familiar with the surroundings before the audience arrives to see the performance. The ground looks and feels bigger, it doesn’t feel ready to be used at that point in time, but just add a ball, some players, mark the lines and it will be instantly transformed.

You remember the atmosphere of football. The sight of cars lined around the oval, the sound of dramatic silence intermitted by loud cries of ‘ball!’, the aroma of embers emanating from an open fire to break up the winter chill.

Standing in the centre, you visualise laying a saving tackle, winning a crucial one-on-one or kicking a sealing goal.

I couldn’t do any of this though, as when I drove in the Power were training. They were taking part in what looked like a drill involving moving the ball from end-to-end. The talls were deep, the smalls around the stoppage, and other players, presumably those in rehab, on the top deck of the old social rooms on exercise bikes.

If you were a Wonthaggi supporter you would have been pleased to see such commitment at 8.30am on a Saturday.

I doubt they saw me, I didn’t hang around for long, but I was there long enough to leave thinking “they’re practicing well … they look like they’re going to be tough to play against”.

The byplay has begun. The conversations are sure to follow. The on-field action isn’t far away.

Bring on season 2022. There is plenty to get excited about.

City proves too slick for Gippsland FC SOCCER GIPPSLAND FC

GIPPSLAND FC welcomed Melbourne City to Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium in Morwell on Sunday.

UNDER-15

On the ball: Gippsland FC Under-15 player Sia Mapiye in possession against Melbourne City in Morwell at the weekend. photograph supplied

A CHALLENGING match up for the Under-15s against a Melbourne City FC development squad.

Gippsland had their moments however the weight of MCFC possession eventually told, running out winners 0-5.

Gippsland challenged early in the first-half, taking the match up to their more fancied rivals early on.

City managed three goals in the middle of the first-half which saw the Gippsland boys lose confidence and go back into their shells.

Reinvigorated after half-time, the home team was able to mount more of a challenge throughout the second half.

Goal scoring opportunities would elude them though, as City was able to snag a couple of late shots to put the result beyond doubt.

Gippsland keeper Jedd Foster was massive throughout this game; defensively, Angus Dempsey was creative and Lucas Halden was stoic all day.

Up front Cadel Weston and Spencer Boughton ran all day to develop scoring opportunities.

UNDER-16

THE “Melbourne City round” is always a difficult match for Gippsland – both mentally and physically.

Playing against a true powerhouse like Melbourne City is both an inspiring and challenging ask for the boys but they worked hard this week to improve their game play ensuring they achieved the goals and aims set by their coach.

The Under-16 teams continues to improve week upon week with this week seeing a lot more of the ball in our forward line, presenting more shots on goal.

One of these attempts certainly found its place in the net.

A corner from Brody Demagistris that crossed the front of goals and found the head of Ronald Kong at the back post, who headed it in comfortably.

Although some players stood out in patches, it was a consistent team effort.

Unfortunately, Gippsland FC was beaten by a more skilled team on the day with Melbourne City winning 9-1.

The slick Melbourne City outfit were handling the conditions better and looked the more likely to score with only some great defense from Dylan Dunstall and Harry Bettridge keeping them goalless.

The pressure was immense from the visitors and eventually they would score their first and second in quick succession the latter being an unstoppable thunderbolt.

Another goal to Melbourne City just before the break would see Gippsland FC three goals down at half-time.

Gippsland FC held their own against the dominant Melbourne City team for almost the entire second half with new Gippsland recruits Connor McGivern and Cain Leyland showing why they were selected in the squad with both of them being involved in some promising moments throughout the second-half.

Gippsland FC would however concede a goal late in the game, giving Melbourne City a 4-0 win.

UNDER-18

THIS WEEK

THE Under-18s took on an unbeaten Melbourne City side at a wet and miserable Morwell.

With the home team themselves looking to continue their own good form Melbourne City knew they wouldn’t have the game their own way.

GIPPSLAND FC plays Bentleigh Greens on Saturday and backs up two days later at home to Oakleigh Cannons on the Monday public holiday (March 14).

Harriers conquer an old favourite in Chook Hill

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By IAN CORNTHWAITE

All smiles: Alysha Duncan, Catherine Leonard and Kathleen Kent, wearing their new Harriers caps.

TO Morwell’s north, just off Maryvale Road amongst pine plantation, the Chook Hill 5.8km, an old favourite of the Traralgon Harriers, attracted strong participation of 55 runners and walkers.

The course consisted of a single lap over gravelly and sandy logging tracks with some steep climbs incorporated.

Weather conditions were mild, but humid.

The standout result of the field was that of junior, Dylan Mbulawa, a Harriers’ newcomer and someone of considerable running ability.

His finishing time of 26min. 8sec. saw him finish eighth outright over a moderately difficult course.

Yani Cornthwaite is consistently dominating the female category, finishing more than two minutes ahead of her nearest rival, Liz Kenney, with Alysha Duncan a further four minutes behind.

Yani is venturing into ultra-distance running, having entered the Duncan’s Run 50km trail run to be staged from the Tarra-Bulga National Park on March 19.

Her speed should be useful here when combined with the ability to endure.

Greg Semmler, wearing his new, hi-tech $250 running shoes, strode out to gradually gain an insurmountable lead, despite not feeling in his best form to record the quickest time outright.

Ian Cornthwaite was battling unsuccessfully to catch him and finished 42 seconds behind, while another experienced veteran, Glenn Graham, beginning to regain some of his usual strong form, finished next.

Tomorrow night’s event is over a new 5km course beginning from the western end of Kay Street,

Traralgon and then following the bike path towards Morwell.

Wet, cool conditions at Grand Ridge PARKRUN GRAND RIDGE RAIL TRAIL

Out and about: Chris and Lynne Bickhoff.

IT may have started a little dull and wet, but 10 brave soles both regulars and new were keen to get out and about on the Grand Ridge Rail Trail.

Only a little bit of rain greeted participants at the brief, where Jodie made everyone all feel very welcome.

No parkrun milestones were achieved this week.

The 10 stood at the start line with a few jokes at how silly we were to be out and then we were off.

The wet rainforest look made the run a little easier especially on the way back up the hill. It was wet, but participants said it felt so good to be on the trail.

The volunteers did an amazing job getting all the jobs done with lots of smiles and laughter all round.

There was also an all-round female team for International Women’s Day.

Powering along: Peter Doolan during the weekend’s Grand Ridge Rail Trail.

Come and have a try: GippSport’s StreetGames will facilitate games of soccer and dodgeball at Mid Valley Shopping Centre tomorrow.

Big Sports Day looks to achieve goals COMMUNITY SPORT

A BIG Sports Day pop-up event is coming to Mid Valley Shopping Centre tomorrow.

Facilitated by a number of local youth support services and other organisations, the exciting day will be an opportunity for young people and their families to find out what local services are available.

GippSport StreetGames will facilitate games of soccer and dodgeball.

They will also bring an inflatable dartboard that has been donated by Optus.

Other organisations involved are YSAS, Latrobe Youth Space and Latrobe City Council.

A total of 19 community organisations and business partners are involved in the event.

Showbags will be on offer for the first 150 people who come along, and free sausage sizzle will be in full swing.

Bread will be provided by Morwell Bakers Delight and sausages by Norm Oliver Meats.

Morwell Neighbourhood Watch will be manning the barbecue on the day.

This is the second time GippSport has facilitated the Big Sports Day. “GippSport has delivered many sports days in the past with a variety of organisations, they’ve all been really successful,” said GippSport’s Den Lim, who has been driving the project.

“This is the most organisations we’ve had join us in delivering the program.”

YSAS Morwell’s Community Programs manager Mark Tanti said the event is a great opportunities for locals to meet the people behind support organisations, and get some knowledge about what services are actually available.

“We are providing another avenue for families to know who we are,” he said.

Tanti thanked Latrobe City Council for their assistance in organising the event this year and the year prior.

“Latrobe City Council have been absolutely fantastic in promoting this, they’re right behind us a we are very grateful,” he said.

Council’s Community Engagement Officer Activating Young People, Georgia Karavis said Latrobe City will help out the organisers on the day of the event.

“I think the opportunity for us to bring people together again, and create those opportunities for face-to-face interaction is so important,” she said.

“We’ve provided support in terms for event management and we’ll be there helping on the day.”

Latrobe Youth Space, whose building is situated right across the road from the event, will be taking part in the Big Sports Day. Youth Space provide activities and services that

help young people grow their skills and experiences.

Youth Space program director Paul Bernthal said the Big Sports Day will be a good way to get the word out about what Youth Space and other organisations do for local young people.

He explained that much of what the Youth Space service does is driven by what young people want.

“We need to give youth a voice,” he said.

Event organisers would like to deliver the Big Sports Day a couple of times each year, and are inviting any potential partners or organisations to come forward and get involved.

The Big Sports Day is looking for funding to make upcoming events as successful as possible.

The event will begin at 3.30pm and run to 5.30pm tomorrow (Thursday, March 10) at Mid Valley Shopping Centre.

Penultimate round thwarted by rain

CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

RAIN ruined the penultimate round of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League season.

A decision to cancel matches across all senior grades was made last Saturday morning after the majority of grounds were deemed unplayable.

Attention now turns to the last lot of home-andaway matches to be played this weekend. While the ladder is virtually set in the Premier A and A Grade competitions, a couple of regular season games could still determine the fate of some teams before the semi-finals commence.

LATROBE will be barracking hard for Mirboo North in Premier A. The fifth-placed Sharks are a mathematical chance of playing finals, but will need to defeat their opponents this weekend in Raiders (third) and rely on the sixth-placed Tigers knocking off fourth-placed CATS. Even that might not be enough when the percentages are calculated, and regardless, one would imagine CATS will have no trouble beating Mirboo North, however, the subplot of a team potentially stealing the last available place in the finals holds some interest nonetheless.

Latrobe players may well be frantically checking MyCricket for live updates from the CATS/Mirboo North game come Saturday, especially if they get to tea and find themselves in a position where they could push for a bonus point against Raiders at Peter Siddle Oval.

If that is the case, Ronnie Chokununga could

be given a licence to swing at the top of the order, and the message to the rest of the Shark batsman may be to ‘hit out or get out’. Should Latrobe bowl second in pursuit of a bonus point, coach Tyron Gamage might produce some of his quickest stuff this season with the new ball.

Raiders will want to play themselves into form after losing their last two matches, and players the likes of Liam Maynard, Mick Higgins and Madura Perera are set to pose enough questions with bat and ball.

Although Latrobe has won the same number of games as CATS, the team from Traralgon South holds a four point buffer thanks to securing a bonus point in two previous matches and having an extra drawn match, meaning they took two points in an instance that could have seen them take four or none.

CATS, with a new ball pairing of Tinashe Panyangara and Cal Stewart, should have the impetus to blast out Mirboo North at John Black Oval.

Stewart has returned to bowling full pace in recent weeks, and this has led to CATS emerging as a late season dark horse for the premiership.

Mirboo North cannot move from last on the ladder regardless of the result, and as such, will be looking to take as many small mercies out of the game as possible.

While it has been a dramatic fall from grace since winning the premiership last season, the Tigers of 2021/22 are clearly a different entity - only three players remain from the flag winning team.

With this in mind, the young kids blooded for Mirboo North this season such as Max Woodall, Hayden Barnes and Logan Anders should be better

for the experience and Tiger officials will be hoping they help form the nucleus of an A Grade team for years to come.

CHURCHILL and Morwell will play for a psychological edge.

The Cobras and Tigers have been by far the two best teams in the competition this season.

Morwell, in second, leads their nearest rival by a staggering 24 points on the ladder.

Both teams could be forgiven for having one-eye turned to next week, as neither can lose a home final advantage, but will want to take winning form into the semis nonetheless.

Churchill destroyed Morwell by 124 runs in their last meeting, highlighted by Brendan Mason hitting 109 from 89 balls for the Cobras.

The Tigers will be wanting to prove this was nothing more than an off day in the rematch, and with Dylan Day and Mark Cukier sitting two and three respectively on the league aggregate with 46 wickets between them, should provide the makings of a tight contest.

IT will be a semi-final preview in A Grade.

Traralgon West has qualified for its maiden finals series in the LVDCL - and that only tells part of the story - the Eagles last tasted A Grade finals cricket in 2003/04 in the Traralgon District Cricket Association.

The Eagles of today will take on Moe, who will be their opponents this weekend at Ted Summerton Reserve and next weekend at a venue of the Lion’s choosing.

Moe superstar Andrew Philip is 14 runs clear on the league batting aggregate, and another big score could see him take the honour yet again.

Traralgon West has had a good spread of wicket takers this season, with Adam Thow, Hayden Kimpton and Tim Fitch all taking 17 or more poles.

Any one of the three could prove decisive in the Eagles journey now and into the finals.

CENTRALS and Trafalgar will meet at Burrage Reserve, Newborough.

The match will present a strange dynamic, as the winner will earn the right to a home final, yet neither will get to play on their actual home ground.

The Lions home ground at Apex Park is undergoing upgrades, while the Ships home ground at Trafalgar does not have a turf wicket.

Trafalgar is one point clear of Centrals in second, and will be hoping two weeks off due to a bye and washout does not leave them too rusty when they take to the Burrage middle.

A number of left hand battles could be on the cards, with Lions left-arm bowler Marc Fenech coming over and shaping the ball away from Ships left-hand top order bats Rhys Holdsworth and Liam White.

JEERALANG-BOOLARRA has the bye and will take no further part in the season. The Panthers could still see some joy in the lower grades, with their B and C Grade sides finals bound.

REGARDLESS of how results fall this weekend, the merits of playing the last round in the one day format might be fully on display.

With the likelihood of two-day matches returning next season, it has often been suggested that the final round of the regular season should be played as a one dayer to eliminate the threat of conditions being manipulated from one week to the next by teams needing to win to make finals.

Turra Pavilion a game-changer for Trafalgar COMMUNITY SPORT

By LIAM DURKIN

THE future of sport in Trafalgar was officially unveiled last Saturday, with the opening of Turra Pavilion at the recreation reserve.

The multi-use pavilion has been constructed to service soccer, boxing, football and cricket.

Situated to the north of the current Trafalgar Victory Soccer Club pitches, the double-sided pavilion sits between the soccer pitches and space slatted to become a second football/cricket oval.

Inside, the pavilion features a number of spacious change rooms, a social space, storage cages, canteen and elevated timekeepers box.

The project was completed ahead of schedule, at a cost just under $2.5 million. Baw Baw Shire council secured a $500,000 grant from the state government’s Female Friendly Facilities Fund, and paid the remaining balance as part of its 2020/21 Capital Works Program.

Saturday’s opening capped off something of a crowning glory for many Trafalgar locals, who have campaigned for close to 20 years to see a major upgrade to the recreation reserve come to fruition.

Back in 2005, based on a recreation precinct strategic plan developed the previous year by the Trafalgar community under the leadership of Peter Williams (then president of Trafalgar Recreation Reserve) and Mick Bourke OAM (then president of Trafalgar Community Development Association), convinced Baw Baw Shire Council to purchase the Turra family farm adjacent to the recreation reserve.

Williams and Bourke OAM were in attendance as the pavilion was declared open, as were members of the Turra family, whom the pavilion is rightly named after.

The Turra brothers Jim, Frank and Dominic decided to sell their family farm next to the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve many years ago at the same time the Trafalgar community was negotiating with council to adopt a masterplan for the reserve.

The Turra family had opportunities to sell the land at a higher price than that eventually offered by council, but declined such offers as it wanted to see the land used by the community.

They did this without knowing whether or not council would eventually purchase the land.

The Trafalgar community is indeed indebted to the selflessness and generosity of the Turra family.

Twins Jim and Frank had the honour of cutting the ribbon, along with Rosemary Turra, wife of the late Dominic.

The quietly spoken brothers were beaming with pride when touring the pavilion, and we clearly chuffed to see so many people delighting in what it would mean for their sporting club to now have this facility.

Pauline Turra, daughter of Dominic, spoke on behalf of the family.

“Today is a proud day for the Turra family, and

Group effort: Trafalgar Recreation Reserve user groups and key stakeholders worked collaboratively with Baw Baw Shire to see the multi-use pavilion come to life. Pictured are Baw Baw Shire recreation co-ordinator Shane Paynter, original strategic plan developers Mick Bourke OAM and Peter Williams, Trafalgar Football-Netball Club’s Ray Wall, Trafalgar Victory Soccer Club’s Lachlan Wyatt and Mark Judd, Trafalgar Boxing Club coach Shane Cameron and Baw Baw Shire community recreation officer David McMahon. photographs liam durkin

Proud: Members of the Turra family were on hand to see the official opening of the new Trafalgar multi-use pavilion. The Turra family sold the land on which the pavilion sits to Baw Baw Shire Council. we are very honoured to have the Turra name adorning this wonderful new facility,” she said.

“It was Emilia and Giuseppe Turra that migrated to Australia in the early 1920s that began the farming tradition that brings us to where we are today.

“Farming was a way of life for the Turra family and working the land is an integral part of our family history, dating back to the early 1900s.

“Today the descendants of Emilia and Giuseppe Turra have reached a fourth generation in Australia, the farm on which the Turra Pavilion now stands was owned by Dominic, Jimmy and Frank Turra, three of the first generation Turra family members born in Australia.

“The brothers gave their heart and soul for

Page 44 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 9 March, 2022

a better future for generations to come, and so there is no greater legacy than this naming. The pavilion and surrounding facilities will be a great asset to the Trafalgar community.”

With the pavilion now open to complement a pair of immaculately manicured pitches, Trafalgar Victory Soccer Club president Lachlan Wyatt believed the club had arguably the best facility in the region.

Trafalgar Boxing Club has moved out of its old shack-like facility, which enjoyed a previous life as the football club’s social club, and into a spacious interior inside the Turra Pavilion.

Head coach Shane Cameron hopes the new gym will see membership increase.

The old boxing club rooms have been

demolished, and with it, stories from the social club that are perhaps best left behind as well.

The benefits of the new pavilion and oval will be far reaching, most notably in alleviating foot traffic during winter and providing capacity for a long-awaited turf wicket in summer.

Currently, the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve football ground is reduced to a mud pit within a matter of weeks once the season starts, as senior and junior football use the ground most days of the week.

The Trafalgar Cricket Club has also faced an uphill battle in its bid to get a turf wicket, with its A Grade team needing to travel away every week to play matches on grass.

It is believed the club has idealist plans to install a white picket fence around the oval, with the Baw Baw ranges overlooking the ground sure to make it one of the most picturesque in Gippsland. The Turra Pavilion and other to-be completed projects at the recreation reserve received input from user groups headed by a Project Reference Group.

With Trafalgar now the third biggest town in Baw Baw, Project Reference Group member and former Trafalgar Football-Netball Club president Ray Wall said it was vital there was appropriate infrastructure to support the growing population.

“The future of the town, with the approval of The Range subdivision, we are going to have 600 blocks, this facility is going to be right on the doorstep of future families that are going to be living in this area,” he said.

“We have the basis of a great facility now, it won’t happen overnight, but we will try our best to get this oval up and running in the next year or two.”

Ex Students wins an absolute thriller CRICKET TDCA

PLAY looked as if it would not be possible at all last weekend in the Traralgon District Cricket Association, but while some had their doubts the clubs and curators got to work with only one match for the first week of finals not being able to have a ball bowled.

A Grade EX Students hosted Glengarry in the qualifying final at the Traralgon Recreation Reserve.

With the way the A Grade finals structure is this season the winner of this match would got through to the grand final and await to see who they would play with the preliminary final scheduled for next week - so the stakes were huge.

As expected, rain delayed the start of the match but when the weather started to clear it allowed the umpires to recalculate the time left in the day and the match was turned in to a 20-over-a-side game.

When the toss went up Ex Students was able to be on the right side of the coin and chose to bat on a very good wicket.

Lee Stockdale opened the batting alongside Matt Dyke and the pair got to work putting on 32 for the first wicket before Dyke was out for eight.

Matt Robertson (10) and James Pryde (1) then came and went and the Sharks were looking shaky due to some good bowling by the Glengarry bowlers. Stockdale was cruising through and when Mitchell Harris joined him in the middle the in-form duo were able to put on another 24 runs before Stockdale was dismissed three runs short of 50 from 44 balls.

Stockdale’s wicket passed on the responsibility of making a big score to Harris who hit a fine 40 from 33 balls, being the last wicket out of the innings with Rick Battista falling before him for 10 as Ex Students ended up making 6/123 after 20 which would be a good score but not an unbeatable one by any stretch.

Glengarry’s bowlers shared the wickets with five bowlers taking one wicket each with Al Jenkin and Frank Marks combining for a run out to take the sixth.

Glengarry got off to a disastrous start with Frank Marks run out for a duck without facing a ball.

In-form bat Jenkin followed soon after, falling to some good captaincy from Stockdale which would have set up an awkward conversation in the rooms where Marks hadn’t left yet.

This meant Nat Freitag and Sam Marks would have to get to work which they did until Sam Marks was out for 23 with the score on 50.

Hamish Busk was next out for four but the big wicket came in the shape of Freitag when the score was on 89 with Freitag being stumped by some handy glove work from Matt Dyke off the bowling of Michael Warne ending up on 44 from 41 balls.

The game looked over but Ben Marks and Nick Grainger took the score agonizingly close with Ben Marks making 23 not out from 19 balls while Grainger made 13 not out after facing only four balls.

Glengarry finished 6/120 from their 20 overs,

Best foot forward: Toongabbie will play Glengarry this weekend in the Traralgon District Cricket Association preliminary final, with the winner to meet Ex Students in the decider.

falling four runs short of victory and a guaranteed grand final spot. Lee Stockdale capped off a great game claiming 2/20 while Andy Matthews took two wickets for just 11 runs in a fine display of quick bowling.

THE elimination final between Toongabbie and Yarram & District just wasn’t to be as the weather didn’t allow for a single ball to be bowled.

After earning a finals spot due to the weather it was somewhat ironic that the Pelicans then cruelly missed out on taking part in their first A Grade final due to weather as well.

Toongabbie now go through to the preliminary final this weekend against Glengarry.

B Grade FIRST placed Yarram and District took on fourth placed Gormandale at Catterick Crescent while second placed Rovers too on third placed Ex Students at Duncan Cameron Park.

In the first semi-final, Yarram won the toss with the match being reduced to 30 overs per side, sending the Tigers in on a good Catterick Crescent wicket.

It looked to be a masterstroke as Gormandale crumbled to 4/17 in quick time as Peter Griffiths was taking wickets for fun with the new ball.

John Northey and Gamble then dug in taking the score to 41 before Gamble was out caught.

The middle to lower order got to work and with Northey holding up one end Gormandale was able to scratch and fight their way to 96 from their 30 overs, Northey ending up making a well-made 40 while Scott Gamble and John Scurlock both made 13 themselves.

For the Pelicans, Griffiths was great up top taking 4/15 while Ash Taylor closed out the innings with 4/12 himself.

Chasing 96 in 30 overs should have been an easy task for the top team and after an opening stand of 25 between Michael Lush and Matthew Garland the foundation was in place for a good win, but the Tigers bowlers kept it tight and although they weren’t able to get early wickets the runs just weren’t being scored.

At 1/43 the Pelicans lost their second wicket but then things turned bad as they started to lose wickets quickly while still needing a run-a-ball.

When Jack Collins came to the crease the momentum had swung in Gormandale’s favour but fighting fire-with-fire the young gun played his shots and got Yarram back into the box seat.

The pressure was on and something special needed to happen for the Tigers to get the win.

Enter Gavin Swan who spun a web and with the help of some questionable shots gave himself the task of bowling the last over with Yarram needing seven for victory.

Early dots intensified the pressure but when Collins had to run back for a second on the fourth ball of the over a Tom Gafa rocket from the boundary had him out for 25 and Yarram falling short by just three runs to be all out for 94 in absolute scenes.

Swan was the hero of the day ending up with 3/19 with two run outs also coming while he was bowling, such was the pressure he created.

Ethan Jarvis bowled very well also claiming 2/16 with the Gormandale fielder having a good day taking three run outs for the innings.

Before this season Gormandale B Grade hadn’t played finals for 15 years, winning only one match the previous season.

Yarram will be wondering where it went wrong but will be looking forward to playing on turf regularly next season on their home ground.

AT Duncan Cameron Park, Rovers sent Ex Students in and struck the first ball of the match with Rob Voss making a ruby duck.

It didn’t get much better for the Sharks as other opener and in form bat Adam Jaensch got out LBW to the bowling of Harry Rai for three.

Daniel Trease steadied the ship but wickets fell at the other end fairly consistently.

Soon after Trease raised his bat for a half century he was dismissed for 52 with the score on 98 and unfortunately for Ex Students the tail didn’t wag as they lost their next three wickets for seven runs, finishing on 104.

Steve Carney was in hot form with the new ball taking 2/6 from his seven overs, but Stefan Sbaglia was the stand out taking 4/12 in a fine effort.

The stage was set and Rovers would have been nervous as the Sharks bowling line up is formidable.

Nerves would have been raised when Alex Rathbone was removed for a duck and Liam Little went shortly after for 10.

Rai followed next for just seven with the score on 38 and the Sharks full of confidence, but it was the wiser head of Shannon Grass and the hard hitting Sbaglia who guided the Rovers team home as Grass made a superb 45 not out from 86 balls while Sbaglia smashed the Sharks bowlers around ending up not out on 39 from just 35 balls.

This will be Rovers first grand final appearance as a club since the 2006/07 season when their C Grade team lost and it will be their first B Grade grand final appearance since winning it in 1992/93.

For the Sharks, it’s the first time they won’t feature in the B Grade grand final for 10 years which is an astonishing achievement.

Rovers now take on Gormandale at Roger Ries Oval which should be a very hard fought contest.

C Grade THE two semi-finals weren’t all that close, but certainly set up what should be a good grand final.

First placed Ex Students took on fourth placed Toongabbie while over the hill second placed Yarram & District hosted third placed and reigning premier Imperials.

Ex Students got first use of the brand new synthetic pitch at Village Green and didn’t they enjoy the small ground.

Steven Thomson (90) and Paul Richards put on a massive 211 for the first wicket which is also a new first wicket partnership record for the club in C Grade. Amazingly it was Richards who was the first wicket to fall after amassing a huge 134.

It certainly set the tone for the game as the Sharks built on this score and went on to make 5/303 from 36 overs.

Toongabbie was never in the hunt and once Michael Bentley got into his spell claiming 3/17 it was all over bar the shouting with Lucas Richards claiming the last three wickets of the match, finishing with 3/18 himself.

This now sets Ex Students up for their first C Grade premiership since 2017/18 after losing the last three while Toongabbie will be able to barrack for their A Grade in their preliminary final.

YARRAM batted first at Tarraville and lost Josh Dunkley early who may have been a bit tired after racking up 32 disposals in his practice match for Western Bulldogs on Friday night.

Imps took it up to the Pelicans early but couldn’t get wickets late which allowed Yarram to make a good score of 5/164 with Andrew Dunkley top scoring on 55 not out.

Imperials never really got going in the chase, mainly due to some good bowling from the Pelicans.

Josh Jennings did all he could top scoring with 28 but wickets fell too often for Imperials who ended up being all out for 99.

Welles Jenkins was superb for Yarram taking 3/12 from seven overs while three other bowlers claimed two each in a good display.

Imperials season as a club is now finished while all hopes of silverware for Yarram rests on their C Grade team next week.

The grand final should be a high scoring affair on the small Village Green Oval at Toongabbie and the atmosphere will no doubt be electric as both Ex Students and Yarram & District will be incredibly well supported on the day.

Only one of Rams and Pies will be left standing CRICKET TDCA

A Grade preliminary final Toongabbie vs Glengarry

A GRADE action this week sees Toongabbie take on last year’s premier Glengarry in a preliminary final.

The winner will play Ex Students the following weekend for the flag.

Toongabbie had its elimination final against Yarram and District washed out, meaning the Rams progressed as the higher ranked side.

The Pelicans were left heart broken, as they definitely had the team and potential to knock over Toongabbie, in which would have been a cracking match to watch.

Glengarry on the other hand, went down to Ex Students in the qualifying final, losing by just three runs in what was a reduced match played as a Twenty20.

Three of the top five scoring TDCA players are from Glengarry: Al Jenkin, Nat Freitag and Frank Marks, which between them have scored over 1100 runs for the season.

However, something that Glengarry are not as confident in is their lower order batting.

From seven to 11 they have had only a handful of knocks all season, as their top order has done all the work.

If Toongabbie can get through the Magpies

much-vaunted top order, they will be in with a fighting chance.

Someone who can do this is young gun Matt Barry, who has been on fire this season with his left arm orthodox bowling, which has had many teams in all-sorts, as well as left arm quick Keenan Hughes.

One to watch: Matt Barry spinning a web against Glengarry.

Prediction: Glengarry are favourites to win this game, however Toongabbie could cause a major upset.

B Grade grand final Rovers vs Gormandale

THIS is going to be the biggest game of the weekend.

Gormandale caused a massive upset last week, knocking off Yarram in the semi-final.

After being bowled out for just 96, Gormandale replied and bowled out Yarram for 94.

The Tigers’ John Northey is in good form coming into finals, knocking up 40 runs in the semi-final, and Gavin Swan and Ethan Jarvis with ball in hand will be feeling good, after a great spell of bowling on the weekend.

Gormandale are going to need to post a lot better score than 96 if they want to have a chance of beating the in-form, ruthless team of Rovers, who do not give up at anything.

This is Rovers’ first B grade grand final appearance in just under 30 years, which is a huge deal for the club, after everything they have been through in the last few years.

They will be feeling confident after not having

lost a game since Round 8, which coincidently was against Gormandale where they went down by five runs. However, Rovers this season has shown they can chase down any score without losing too many wickets.

Rovers also have a second-to-none bowling attack in Harry Rai, Steve Carney, Ricky Martin, Gregg Bramwell and Isaac Brown.

These five bowlers alone are more than capable of bowling out Gormandale for an extremely low score.

Carney is always able to take the opening wickets and bag a handful, followed by Martin and extremely smart off-spinner Bramwell having played first-class cricket back in South Africa.

As well as captain Brett Van Berkel, who has played a high level of cricket in England, when these two heads combine, they create not only two brilliant players, but two of the most knowledgeable cricketers with the most experience.

Gormandale are not going to go down without a fight and will give it everything they have to beat Rovers.

One to watch: Gregg Bramwell thrives under pressure and loves the fight, and he is going to give every ounce of energy he has into this game.

Prediction: Rovers are favourites but they will also have in the back of their head that they lost to Gormandale the last time they played them.

C Grade grand final - Ex Students vs Yarram and District

LAST time these two teams played each other,

Yarram came out victorious by three wickets, however previous to this, Ex Students beat Yarram by 51 runs, so this game could go either way.

Ex Students had a great win in the semi-finals, with an opening partnership of 211, as Paul Richards made 134 and Steven Thompson made 90.

Both these batsmen will be coming into the grand final in sensational form, which is exactly what you want.

Yarram’s Andrew Dunkley and Justin Staley are coming into finals with some batting form, notching up 55 and 32 in their semi-final against Imperials.

Yarram has an all-round bowling attack, with four of their seven bowlers taking at least two wickets each last week which shows how strong their attack is.

Ex Students pair Michael Bentley and Lucas Richards are in good form coming into finals, both taking three wickets last round, as well as Mick Isles and Trevor Kosterman both picking up wickets.

They too have an all-round bowling attack capable of ripping through teams.

With the amount of finals experience Ex Students has had, they will be up for the challenge, and will know how to keep their head and not get overwhelmed by the pressure of finals.

One to watch: Paul Richards with bat in hand.

Prediction: Ex Students will prove too strong and take home the flag.

Spin king is fondly remembered

Vale King: Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne died on Friday at the age of 52.

CRICKET

By LIAM DURKIN

–

CRICKETERS across the region awoke Saturday morning to the shocking news Australian cricket legend Shane Warne had died.

Selected as one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the 20th century, Warne took 708 Test wickets to be regarded as the greatest spin bowler of all time.

Tributes flowed for the leg spinning maestro, with club cricketers across the country sporting black arm bands during matches at the weekend.

Warne had some connection to the Latrobe Valley, with fellow Test cricketer Peter Siddle of Latrobe Cricket Club overlapping the start of his Victorian career with the back-end of Warne’s.

Morwell Cricket Club overseas player Chris Yates also played with Warne for English county Hampshire, while Willow Grove and Trafalgar players Rob Phoenix and Rhys Holdsworth played premier cricket for Warne’s club St Kilda.

Yates shared his experiences with the spin king.

“I was lucky enough to share a taxi with him, go clubbing with him, net with him and even field a ball off his bowling,” he said. “(We) talked about music and family one night, (he was) so down to earth and never felt like I was speaking to the best spinner ever to play the game, just a humble man interested in you.

“What a legend and such terrible news. RIP Warnie.”

Sale-born cricketer Ian Wrigglesworth crossed paths with Warne a few times, both as part of the Victorian squad and overseas.

Wrigglesworth, who played a number of First Class and List A matches, came across a young Warne at a time both were looking to forge their careers.

The year was 1991, and the destination England.

Warne was playing for Accrington in the Lancashire league and Wrigglesworth was a drive “just five minutes away”.

From there, Warne went on an Australia A tour of Zimbabwe, and two years later, bowled the ‘ball of the century’.

Wrigglesworth and Warne, as well as James Sutherland, were part of a group of Melbournebased players in England at the time, and would have a hit most Wednesdays.

Online comments

Here’s what you had to say online at the Latrobe Valley Express Facebook page after the shock passing of Australian cricket legend Shane Warne.

JILL NOLAN GOULTER: So saddened.

Another young man taken too soon!

DAWN STUBBS: Another bright star in our heavens tonight who has gone way too soon! Rest well Warnie!!

TOM HOPE: So, so sad rip condolences to your family and friends .. absolute champion gone too early.

BEVERLEY NAYLOR: Too young.

ANNETTE O’BRIEN: Such a special man. One of a kind, both on and off the field ... RIP Warnie. x GRACE PASTORCIC: So sad, may he rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

NADIA TSAIKOS: So, so incredibly sad.

Condolences and strength to Shane’s family and loved ones. May he rest peacefully. What a tragic loss.

VICKIE JOHNSTON: So sad. Taken too soon.

May he rest in peace.

MARCIA HALE: I feel for his family. RIP Shane.

Warne imparted more rip on the ball and had more control than any spinner he had faced.

“He just didn’t bowl rank leg-spinning half trackers,” Wrigglesworth said.

Those who have seen Wrigglesworth bat will attest to him being a quality player of spin, but even he said there was always an element of uncertainty when facing Warne.

“I could pick him out of the hand, but he made the ball drop quickly so you had to check your shot,” he said.

As well as cricket, the Melbourne cricketers would often play social tennis or pool, with Wrigglesworth saying Warne’s “incredible hand-eye” allowed him to excel at both.

He remembers Warne hardly played pool (eight ball) before the England trip, but was one of the best players by the end.

YVONNE MCINNES: Gone too soon. It’s very sad.

GEOFFREY MILLS: Two great cricketers both passing away from heart attacks. Will be sadly missed.

ANGELA GOODALL: How sad, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues. RIP Shane.

CHRISTINE LYNNE: Tis indeed sad news. Vale Warney.

GREG MASON: No!!!! Not Warney. Will be sadly missed.

CARMEL HUNT-LOGIODICE: Just so hard to believe he is gone ... my thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

KERRY ADRICHEM-HUNTJENS: Thanks for your wonderful contribution to Aussie cricket.

BARNEY GREGSON: So sad. Thinking of all his family and friends. RIP legend.

TRACEY DEMETRIOS: Unreal, very sad news.

WENDY MITCHELL: This makes me incredibly sad, condolences to his family. Two cricket greats gone, so sad. Thanks Warnie Rod Marsh for the wonderful sporting memories. Rest well.

Wrigglesworth believed Warne was the greatest stock bowler of all time, and that his greatness lay not entirely in his wicket taking ability, but in the fact his bowling was of such quality and durability it meant Australia could play six recognised batsman and no all-rounder for most of his Test career - a time that saw Australia completely dominate world cricket in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In remembering the champion, Wrigglesworth said he was not only a “fantastic team player” for Victoria but a “good bloke”, always willing to sign autographs or pose for photos with kids, something perhaps lost in the age of tabloid newspapers only running stories detailing his trials and tribulations off the field.

“I couldn’t speak highly enough of him, he was always genuine, very personable,” Wrigglesworth said.

Mirboo North shares in grassroots grant

CRICKET

MIRBOO North Cricket Club was one of 128 clubs and indoor centres across Victoria to recently benefit from grants totalling $378,000 to provide enhanced cricket experiences to encourage further participation during round one of the 2021/22 Grassroots Cricket Fund (GCF).

The GCF is a joint initiative between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers’ Association that will provide up to $30 million to grassroots cricket across Australia over the life of the fund.

The funds will ensure clubs and centres maintain

their position as pillars of local communities by providing equipment and using grants to fund the development of coaches and volunteers and the adoption of marketing and recruitment initiatives to attract new participants.

One successful Victorian applicant, Carnegie Cricket Club, received funding to purchase a defibrillator via the Community Heart Program.

Carnegie Cricket Club committee member Nicole Irwin said the addition would be potentially life saving.

“We felt it was important to purchase and have access to a defibrillator to equip ourselves in any emergency. We want to keep people involved in sport and ensuring everyone feels safe is one way

Page 46 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 9 March, 2022

to do this. It’s fantastic to have the support of the GCF which allows clubs to make these types of purchases,” she said.

In total, 432 clubs and centres nationally successfully applied for first round grants and will share $1.3 million in funding - part of the total $2.5 million available in GCF grants this season.

A second round of grant applications opened on Monday for a three-week period, allowing clubs and centres that did not receive a grant in the first round to access funding that can be used to purchase products through GCF partners such as defibrillators via the Community Heart Program, portable 2G Flicx pitches from Flicx UK and Kookaburra training packs.

Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja launched the second round of grant applications.

“Clubs and indoor centres across Australia have done an amazing job in creating great experiences for their members despite the impact of COVID19. The players are proud to be able to support these efforts,’’ he said.

“We hope these grants will help clubs and indoor centres best provide a great and inclusive environment in which to play and enjoy our game.”

Jordyn Cargill (17), Caiden Gill (23), Courtney Ford (36), Olivia Baillie (14) and Kayla Pratt (14) broke individual records while Molly Cargill, Emily Auteri, Sam Sbaglia, Zoe Dowler, Olivia Baillie, Morgan McConville, Kayla Pratt, Emily Auteri, Ash Nicholes, Will Pendergast, Jordyn Cargill and Matt Jenkins were all involved in relay records.

Traralgon Swimming Club senior head coach Brian Ford said he was super proud of the team.

“What an outstanding performance from our team. Before the meet the team was challenged by a possible end to our run of victories over a generation, however they responded to the leadership shown by our coaches, team captains and parents,” he said.

“To win 23 in succession takes an enormous amount of planning, commitment and dedication by so many people and this win is in honour of our past club members who have been part of the journey.

“The club keeps producing terrific people and swimmers and this year, after losing top swimmers

to interstate and overseas programs, we are regenerating from youth upwards. We, as a club of continuing improvement, could not be prouder of our achievements. We look forward to the future ahead of us.”

The swimming season is heading towards the pointy end with the five day Victorian State Championships this weekend, followed by the All Junior semi-finals and the National Championships in April.

The club will also be holding an ‘all abilities’ program on Sunday, April 3, at the Ford Swim Centre from 10am to 12 noon.

This will be a non-committal two hour program promoted by Swimming Victoria for any children who are classified as Multi Class (physical restrictions, autistic, hearing impaired, etc) and may want to try swimming as a sport.

Moe’s Healey earns Victorian team selection BASKETBALL

MOE basketballer Myah Healey has been selected in the Victorian Under-20 women’s team to represent the state at the upcoming Australian Junior Championships.

Healey will play in the Victoria Navy Women’s team, to be coached by Morwell export David MYAH HEALEY Herbert.

As well as the Navy Women, six teams will head to Mackay, Queensland from Tuesday, April 19 until Sunday, April 24 for the Australian Under-20 Junior Championships and Ivor Burge Championships for athletes with an intellectual disability.

The Victorian Ivor Burge Women will make their return to the Australian Junior Championships following a one-year hiatus due to other states not committing to the event in 2021.

Victorian teams secured three silver medals at this event in 2021 with the Under-20 Men, Under-20 Women and Ivor Burge Men performing well in spite of the difficult circumstances of 2021 coming out of lockdown a few weeks before the event.

Fortuna lifts the Kendall Cup SOCCER

FORTUNA produced a dominant performance to win the Kendall Cup men’s final in Sale recently.

The Morwell-based club completed a fine campaign with a convincing 5-0 win against Leongatha Knights in the final.

The medal for best on ground in the final was presented to Fortuna’s Damon Scott.

It was the first time in more than a decade that Fortuna had qualified for the final of the popular tournament.

The Orangemen defeated Bayside United 1-0 in the semi-final to qualify for the big one.

Ethan Bath (Leongatha) was named as player of the tournament, with Jayden Steele (East

Gippsland) collecting the golden boot and Toby Gale (Leongatha) awarded top goalkeeper.

Bayside United won the women’s Kendall Cup title after overcoming Sale United in a penalty shootout.

Scores were 1-1 at the end of extra time, resulting in the final being decided from the spot.

Bayside prevailed 6-5 in the shootout, a big result for the Melbourne-based National Premier Leagues club.

Sale United ace Anouk Meereboer was the women’s player of the tournament and golden boot winner, with young gun Hollie Ryan collecting the player of the final award.

Goalkeeper of the tournament went to Breanna East (East Gippsland).
