Lauren packs a punch By ADEM SARICAOGLU
KEVIN HILLIER
AFL draft moves things up a notch GREAT to see Werribee’s Ben Brown drafted by North Melbourne and Western Jet James Sicily get his chance at Hawthorn in last week’s AFL draft. Hopefully a few more names will be added Wednesday morning via the rookie draft.
Lauren Camilleri will go to Perth in the hope of qualifying for the 2014 Commonwealth Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI Games in Glasgow. 89933 Having now beaten Harris, who was regarded as the best 51kg fighter in the country, Camilleri admits she is a touch surprised about just how much she’s progressed in the past 12 months. “It’s always been a dream to represent my country and especially to go to the Common-
wealth Games and the Olympics, but I didn’t think I’d be this successful so soon,” Camilleri admitted. “I do believe in myself though and I know I can get there, but after each fight I just surprise myself even more and more.”

I WAS glad to get plenty of feedback from readers regarding my comments last week on money in local senior football. The vast majority are worried that it is killing the game, and turning players into mercenaries, who are playing for the dollars not the love of the game or the jumper. I have no problem with players being paid, but some of the figures being bandied about are ridiculous for suburban football and I fear they are not sustainable. I have also heard that payments are being made to under-18 players, that is just plain wrong and should be stamped out immediately. The problem is, it is a classic ‘he said she said’ and can never be proved. If my mail is correct, a former Priest Medallist might be making a comeback, but not with the club where he won his medal, which is strange for many reasons. THERE seems to be some mixed messages coming out about the Werribee Racing Club. The Werribee Racing Club is saying that the meeting on 15 December is definitely going ahead and that the meeting could have been held earlier this month but it was the right decision to postpone it. What? I also don’t understand why prize-money for the Cup has been increased. Why do you need to increase the prize-money now? Is this a way to placate owners and the jockeys with a dollar incentive? I also believe that the jockeys told officials that the track was not right several weeks ago. I won’t be surprised if the jockeys have a very big say in whether racing actually happens on 15 December. I WAS really happy to launch the new SEN Cricket show ‘Howzat’ last Saturday and have my old mate Billy Birmingham on as our first guest. The show airs every Saturday during summer from 11am till 1pm and features Rodney Hogg, Smokey Dawson and myself talking cricket for two hours. Tickets are still available to hear Hoggy this Wednesday night at the Werribee Sports Club for a special Ashes Dinner. Call Janelle on 9741 9862. BILLY Birmingham has a new best of CD on the market called “Willy Nilly” featuring some of the best moments of the 30 years of the 12th Man. I sent the very first 12th Man record to Richie Benaud to listen to, to give his thoughts for my 3XY radio show. Richie thought it was very funny and my friendship with Billy started then. I marvel at his talent both as a writer and impersonator. As he pointed out on Saturday everyone from kids to females to old blokes now think they can “Do a Richie”. THE Altona Bowls Club held a Sports Night last Saturday and it was a great night. The panel included Cam Mooney, Jason Love, Tony Vasil and Lazar Vidovic. What happens in the room stays in the room, but I can say the insights into the football and racing world were enlightening and entertaining. Jason is back in local footy as the new coach of the Port Melbourne Football Club and I think he will be great for the club. They need a new direction and new faces to get them back to the powerhouse they have been.

GUN Hoppers Crossing boxer Lauren Camilleri now has her eyes firmly set on Glasgow and the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The 23-year-old recently became the Victorian champion in the 51kg weight division after knocking off the highly-rated Kristy Harris in a tense four-round fight. After starting her career at 54kg, Camilleri decided to drop back to 51kg in the hope of qualifying for the Glasgow Games. Having spent some time with Harris at the Australian Institute of Sport, Camilleri knew she had to find a way to beat her in pursuit of her dream to represent Australia. “I had to spar her at the AIS, which was pretty confronting,” Camilleri explained. “I felt I did pretty well considering my experience, but still the nerves got the better of me and then from then on I knew that basically Kristy was the girl that was going to be in my weight class. “I had to work towards beating her because she was the biggest threat, and every step I took this year was to beat her and all my hard work around that eventually paid off.” Camilleri’s win over Harris was by far her best result to date, but it also marked what has been a considerable rise through the ranks after she only gloved up for her first fight little more than a year ago. Next on Camilleri’s radar are the 2014 national championships in Perth, which will serve as a Commonwealth Games qualifier.
