Fire burns tradie By Brendan Rees

Abdul Ahmadi cannot work work without his ute which was believed to have been deliberately lit. 176945 ed,” Mr Ahmadi said. The cause of the fire is still undetermined and Narre Warren Crime Investigation Unit is investigating. Detective Senior Constable Andrew Walker said it was believed accelerant was likely used. “Whether they’ve poured petrol over the items and they’ve set it alight or they’ve thrown something in it that was flammable, we haven’t

been able to work that out yet.” “Our crime scene officer’s will put a report together and we’ll be able to work it out,” he said. “The car wasn’t moved at all. It’s not like it was stolen and left burnt out like we normally see.” Detective Sen Const Walker said nothing appeared to be stolen.

“It looks like all the external front of the cabinet was undamaged. All the damage was kept to the rear of the ute and obviously some of the external panels were damaged as well.” He added there was no CCTV footage or witnesses who had come forward. Anyone with information on the fire should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Narre Warren CIU on 9705 3111.

A young tradie has been stripped of his livelihood after his work ute was allegedly torched in Cranbourne last Friday morning. Firefighters were called to Virginia Street at about 1am on the 19 January after reports of a car fire. Crews were able to extinguish the blaze, but not before it caused extensive damage to the rear of the vehicle. Devastated owner, Abdul Ahmadi, 22, believed his ute was set on fire deliberately, but did not know why. “I’m not sure what to say. I’m pretty disgusted. If someone had done it for fun, they should think about it twice how bad it’s affecting my life. I’ve got a little daughter who is 16 months old” he said. “I’ve have no arguments with people or the neighbours, everyone is nice. I’ve no idea who did it.” Without his ute, Mr Ahmadi says he is unable to work in which he runs his own tiling business. “It is very inconvenient. I’ve lost three or four days of work.“ “This has happened twice and we are thinking of leaving the neighbourhood,” he said. Mr Ahmadi said he picked up his ute on Tuesday 23 January after it was forensically examined by police. “Unfortunately they haven’t found anything as to who did it.” He said he may be up to $1500 out of pocket to replace all his work materials and equipment and a further $3000 to repair his ute. “I’ll probably take it to a mechanic and get an estimate as to how much it will cost me to repair it, do some paint jobs, change the window behind it and put in a new tub.” He said all his work tools and equipment were damaged including a wet and dry vacuum from the fire. “It’s bit of mess now. It’s disgusting. Everything is gone - I need to start again.“ You go to work, you pay your taxes and someone trashes your car. I’m really disgust-

Hoon taskforce crushes cars Retribution Day arrived for convicted SouthEastern hoons - and their cars - at a Dandenong South wrecking yard recently. Eight vehicles seized by Taskforce Regarder police and forfeited for destruction were crushed on 19 January. The convicted drivers had been taking part in illegal hoon meets in Lynbrook, Mulgrave and Dandenong South in November 2015 to January 2016. They included a 25-year-old Clyde North man who was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury. A 30-year-old Hampton Park man had his black Holden ute destroyed after being convicted of the same charge. A 20-year-old Cranbourne East man’s blue Ford sedan will be destroyed in coming days after its LPG tank was removed, police say. On 24 January, Taskforce Regarder police arrested two people accused of planning and organising dangerous hoon meets in the South East between June and September 2017. They were arrested as part of raids in Moorabbin, Bentleigh East, Endeavour Hills and Ferntree Gully that morning.

Brakes come off trailer Firefighters helped a family continue their journey to Sale after their trailer’s brakes came off on the Monash Freeway in Narre Warren on

Friday, 19 January. Hallam fire brigade responded to the incident at 8am between Belgrave-Hallam Road and Ernst Wanke Road. Hallam CFA Senior Station Officer Kerry Phillips said there was no safety risk was posed to other drivers. “The breaks have come on and not released and over-heated the brakes. They’ve come off for some reason,” said Hallam CFA Senior Station Officer Kerry Phillips. “It wasn’t a fire in the end,” he added. “They just pulled over to the side of the freeway. Because it’s tandem we took two of the wheels off so they could go on their merry way.” There were no reports of any injuries.

Narre Warren CFA praised Kudos to Narre Warren CFA’s catering unit who came to the rescue of hard-working firies at the Carrum Downs blaze this month. The unsung volunteers are often sent out to large-scale emergencies across Victoria. On this occasion, they were more than kept busy. They served more than 600 meals to more than 300 fire-fighters at the 6 January bushfire.

The power of office only gets you so far Can you believe Roads Minister Luke Donnellan was held up by roadworks as he arrived late for a Star News photo shoot on Narre WarrenCranbourne Road?

There’s no questioning the facts. During summer, you should check Fire Danger Ratings daily via the VicEmergency website or app. The higher the rating, the more uncontrollable a fire would be if one started. Ratings can be different across the state, so know your fire district. Decide what rating is your trigger to take action.

the matter who said she had seen a woman “crying her eyes out” after she was denied access to the restroom facilities and wet herself. “That’s just disgusting. My situation was bad enough but that poor woman who was heavily pregnant that’s really bottom of the barrel stuff,” he said. “I want something done. Not just for my sake but for everyone else.” Director of Richardson French Jeffrey Richardson did not wish to comment on the matter.

Rider’s heartbreak after bikes stolen By Brendan Rees A motorcyclist has been left heartbroken after her two bikes worth nearly $27,000 were allegedly stolen from her garage in Cranbourne North. Vanessa, who asked not to reveal her surname, is pleading for the safe return of her bikes which were taken from her Courtney Gardens Estate garage between 8am and 8.30am on Wednesday 17 January. “They’ve broken the lock (to the garage). They’ve taken two bikes; one was a dedicated track bike, and the second bike I picked it up on the 1 December,” she said. Her beloved bikes were a black and white 2009 Suzuki GSXR 600 valued at $8000 and a brand new black and white 2017 Yamaha R6 with yellow rims, valued at $19,000. Vanessa said she was still coming to terms with the loss of her pride and joy even though the bikes were insured. “I’m just heartbroken and devastated,“ she said, adding she had orded the Yamaha before it

had even arrived in Australia. “To wait for it to get here and for someone to take it is heartbreaking. You work so hard and my love for riding is second to none.“ Vanessa said she received a call from a friend who had noticed the garage door was up and the bikes missing on the Wednesday morning. “She said ‘where’s your bikes?’ I would say that phone call was like having my heart ripped out because these bikes are the absolute love of my life,” she said. Vanessa said one of her neighbours heard a dog barking on the morning the bikes were taken. “He stuck his head out the front to see what was happening and saw a white ute in our driveway with a bike on the back. However we own a white ute so it didn’t cause any suspicion from him and he left it and went back inside.” She said the wheel locks for the Yamaha were taken but the race stands for the track bike were left behind.

Greater Dandenong Crime Investigation Unit is appealing to the public to help identify a male after a car that was allegedly stolen from Cranbourne was used in a series of offences last month. Police say a Nissan Pulsar was allegedly stolen from Majestic Boulevard in Cranbourne on 8 December 2017 before it was used in a burglary and theft from motor vehicle in Blackburn on the 9 December and deceptions in Dandenong and Ringwood on the 10 December. The vehicle was located on fire in Worsley Road, Bangholme on the 15 December. Police have released a CCTV still image of a male that they believe will be able to assist with their enquiries.

An elderly Cranbourne man has expressed his fury after being refused access to a shopping centre toilet. Robert Kuhlann, 76, was shopping at Cranbourne West Shopping Centre on Monahans Road on Friday afternoon, 12 January when he urgently needed to use the facilities. “It was about 2.30pm to 3pm,” he said. “I was in a desperate to go to the toilet ... If I can be quite blunt with you I would’ve pooped myself.” “In the past they have had their toilet open to the public.” Mr Kuhlann approached staff at the newsagent’s store who he says has control of accessing the toilet. “I pleaded with the opportunity to go to the toilet. They were emphatic they were acting on the instructions of the property managers that they were not to give out the keys for the toilet.” He said the situation was dire but didn’t blame staff at the newsagents who had been given instructions. Mr Kuhlann said he called the shopping centre’s property manager, Andrew Young of Richardson French as soon as he got home. “He told me he had just taken over and it would take him sometime to have a look into it; probably be a week before he got back to me.” “He wasn’t very interested to say the least. I just think that’s pretty poor.” Mr Kuhlann spoke to staff at Coles who said they were prepared to open their private toilet if someone was desperate but says “not everyone knows that.” In the past, Mr Kuhlann says he’s been able to go to the newsagents and get access to the toilet. “I don’t know if they (shop owners) have all

Colour spectacular By Brendan Rees There was a different code of racing at the Cranbourne Turf Club last weekend. Thousands of runners and walkers descended on the racetrack for some colourful fun at the Casey in Colour, Run for YOUth event on Saturday, 20 January. City of Casey Mayor Geoff Ablett said the day was filled with excitement for the Casey community and was always a crowd favourite among residents. “The event, which is run by our Youth Team, is a fantastic opportunity to get the entire family out pounding the pavement, while also having a laugh and socialising with friends.”

Participants had the opportunity to enter a 1.5km or 3km run that had been designed around the racecourse. All money raised on the day will be divided between three community groups, including Backpacks 4 VIC Kids, Casey Information Support Service (CISS) and Kids Under Cover. Cr Ablett also thanked Grill’d Casey Central and the Cranbourne Turf Club for being the major sponsors of the day, and said he hoped Council would be able to make a significant donation to each of the nominated community groups.

Real pull for the crowd By Brendan Rees Burnouts and super charged engines rumbled through the grounds of Rutter Park Memorial Reserve last weekend as more than five thousand enthusiasts turned out for the annual Tooradin Tractor Show. Event president Allyn Reeve said the day was jam-packed with kid’s amusements, helicopter rides, a roulette fly-over, modified and vintage tractor pull, and burn-out demonstrations. “The burn-outs are very popular. As soon as they start up they come running to the fence line,” he said. They have a special rubber on their tyres creating different coloured smoke.” He said there were about 104 trucks, 20 vintage tractors, 40 hot rods and 44 modified tractors on display. “Overall it was very successful and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.” Mr Reeve said the day wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for all the support they received from their loyal sponsors. “Every year we are able to grow thanks to our sponsors,” he said, adding all proceeds were injected into local clubs, schools and various charities. Star News photographer Gary Sissons went along to capture some of the day’s excitement.

Burnouts were a spectacle. 176878

The tractors were divided into classes and comply with either ‘Limited’ or ‘Open’ rules. 176878

Last year the Andrews State Government released a draft Bill to modernize local government and to replace the existing 1989 Act. Public submissions have been invited. Submissions and can be made online at www. yourcouncilourcommunity.vic.gov.au or by email to localgovernment@delwp.vic.gov.au. Submissions close on February 23. If you need assistance you can contact me jdglazebrook@gmail.com anytime. The 1989 Local Government Act does indeed need to be modernised: it needs to make local councils more democratic and transparent. Public Question Time with Casey council is not democratic. Ratepayers should have the right to ask their own questions and seek clarification if needed at all general council meetings. At present ratepayers and residents are treated like children. Casey council and its CEO, Mike Tyler, have never had a public meeting to discuss the key issues impacting on this community with residents in over 20 years! Other issues that should be incorporated in a new Local Government Act could include permanently capping council rates at two per cent, replacing all CEOs with team leaders,and replacing the present Local Government Inspectorate with a dedicated Local Government Ombudsman’s Office. Local government faces a legitimacy crisis brought on by poor management and leadership failures. I believe that changing the present leadership model, based around the cult of the CEO, and conventional management systems, is essential for modernising Victorian municipalities in the 21st century. The present structure of leadership on council is anachronistic and the council inspectorate has become little more than a propaganda instrument. Highly paid and over-rated CEOs have failed to impact the main challenges facing councils today and lack public confidence. I believe a new leadership model is needed to restore public confidence and that the new 2018 Local Government Act for Victoria must address all of these concerns. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN Thumbs up To all the honest people in our community that don't keep things they find.

Thumbs down To the low lives that do keep what they find. Honesty is always the best policy.

Thumbs down To the construction company doing the extension of Thompsons Road from the railway line to the

South Gippsland Highway in North Cranbourne. They opened the access from Gray St but have not taken down enough of the sight barriers to allow for visibility of vehicles turning onto Thompsons Road from Gray St. This was pointed out to a number of the workers on the site last week. They were still up so I approached the traffic controllers working further down the road. I was told it was outside their responsibility but they had advised the Company previously because of several minor accidents at the site. I wonder where the Company stands if someone sues or if there is a serious accident caused by them blocking visibility.

Coal fires up By Brendan Rees Fire crews extinguished a fire that engulfed up to almost 10000 tonnes of coal at a quarry in Cranbourne East last Tuesday. The Country Fire Authority was called to the fire at Burdett's quarry on Thompsons Road at about 12pm on 23 January. Cranbourne Station Officer Sam Watterson said the coal stack was believed to have reignited from a previous fire around Christmas time last year. "Our initial concerns were only community exposure for carbon monoxide. That's one of our key learnings from the Hazelwood fire," he said.

CFA issued a safety message to residents saying there was no immediate threat to the community at about 1pm. Mr Watterson added the risk to surrounding property was low as there were not many houses in the area. The fire was brought under control within an hour, but 30 firefighters remained at the site until 5pm to ensure the fire was out, he said. He said coal can be difficult to put out but was confident they were on top of the fire at the quarry. "This time we've pulled the pile apart with an excavator and worked pretty methodically with thermal imaging cameras to make sure we get all the hot spots."

Get your friends and family together and join in the fun at a number of local events this Australia Day. The City of Casey has thrown its support behind four local events on Friday 26 January that are open to all residents and free to attend. Hampton Park, Tooradin, Cranbourne and Berwick will each host an event with a variety of activities that all members of the family can enjoy. City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett said it was fantastic to see local community groups hosting events for their residents, and encouraged people to head along and join in the fun. "The City of Casey would like to thank its community groups for putting on these events for the benefit of our residents and I hope to see plenty of people joining in the local celebrations," he said. "Australia Day is the perfect chance to get together and celebrate the diverse and multicultural community that is the City of Casey."

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

THREE … reminders from Casey Council

With John Arnott, horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne

1. What is something people don't know about you? That I was born in Scotland (Perthshire) and that our family migrated to Australia in 1966. 2. What was your most memorable moment? My wife Lisa and I had an amazing encounter with Elephants in the Thai mountains. We were cycle touring (on a tandem) and spent some time in a tiny Karen village that was 'rewilding' a small heard of Elephants. We shared the rainforest with a family of five elephants and their Mahouts, walking through trackless bush, mudholes and rainforest streams ... an incredible encounter! 3. What's the best thing about working at Royal Botanic Garden, Cranbourne? Working at the Cranbourne Gardens is in many respects my dream job! My passion for native plants is completely aligned with the mission for the Gardens to 'advance the understanding and appreciation of plants". Botanic Gardens are legacy projects and I feel somewhat privileged to be involved with this garden. 4. What is your favourite television show? At the moment it's Outlander. It's one of those shows were you have to suspend belief a little but I am completely into it. I can watch all manner of sport ... I could watch lawn bowls and be fully engaged! 5. What is your favourite book? I really enjoyed Tim Wintons Dirt Music, his descriptions of the Kimberly landscape really captures the vastness and isolation of that part of the world. Coupled with the compelling and powerful story line it really grabbed me. The soundtrack to the book is some of the best 'dirt music' (Country Blues) that you would ever hear.

6. Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? Uncle Jack Charles and Archie Roach to learn more about aboriginal life in Melbourne post stolen generation years; Shane Howard and Missy Higgins, with guitar and piano at hand; and environmentalists David Attenborough and Jane Goodall. 7. What's the best bit of advice you have been given about gardening? Match plant selection to the environmental conditions of your garden. In other words select plants that are well suited to your gardens conditions. Another solid tip is to take a walk around your neighbourhood and observe what is flourishing in local gardens, this can provide ideas for what you could be growing in your garden! 8. At school I.......struggled for a fair bit, I

practically dropped out, but got myself together when I was fortunate to be able to attend Woodleigh School in Baxter which really switched on my curiosity and appreciation of learning and studying the natural environment. 9. If you could play in any sporting event around the world, what it would be? Any of the grand European bicycle tours such as the Tour de France of Giro 'd'italia 10. What was your first or best concert? First concert was the Karingal High School Dance (late '70's) when a band called "Cloud Nine" played. They were pretty crappy from memory. Our family have spent over 20 years attending the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival and over the years witnessed some amazing acts ... too many to name.

Levi in an Ironman revival By Nick Creely There was a point in Levi Maxwell's professional career where he thought it was all coming to an end. The 28-year-old Tri-Athlete world champion from Cranbourne was struck down in his prime with a devastating injury at the end of July in 2017. "I was on a training camp in Thailand, and just came off the bike and unfortunately shattered my elbow, it ended up in about five pieces," he said. "I had to get back on a flight straight home, got off the plane, and the next day I was in for surgery; from there, it's just been rehab since. "I definitely wanted to race again, but initially, because I'd never done anything like this before, I thought I was done for sure. "I spoke to a few people who had done similar issues throughout my rehab, and they reassured me that it wasn't the end, so I just had to stay positive and work to get back and better." With pure steel, Maxwell fought back to compete recently, spending months in rehab in a bid to eventually compete in the Ironman Australia event in May 2018 in Port Macquarie, after some stunning Ironman wins all over the world in the last four years. "It wasn't intensive (the rehab); it was more little things like trying to get movement into my hand to reduce the inflammation, and to break up the scar tissue to get full range back," he said. "It's been baby steps over a long period of time. "I let it (training) happen organically - I didn't think about racing, so I just let the training dictate the races I could compete in. "The body is fit enough now to deal with the load, it's just about getting fitter now." On 14 January, in Race 3 of the 2XU Triathlon Series 17/18, Maxwell finished second in a sprint, and described his nerves leading into his first race since his injury. "On a scale of 1-10, my nerves were probably a 20, just because it's the first one back; being a sprint too, there were expectations on me because it's not what I specialize in," he said. "But I was so nervous; little things like trying to get the warm up times right made me nervous. The weekend was a sprint, and I train mainly for ironman which is a long course; it's gruelling because it's such a struggle when it's an eight or nine hour race. "The sprint stuff is a different hurt; it's so hard to sprint to the max from the start, you've got lactic in your mouth and your trying to catch the guys. "It was meant to be a 600 metre swim, 26.7km bike and 5km run, but because of heavy rain the night before, they had to cancel the swim; so it was 3.5km run, 26.7km bike and 5km run, which probably suited me a bit better given I'm getting back my fitness with swimming. "I was hoping to sneak in the top five, be-

Ironman Levi Maxwell is roaring his way back. 176980 cause those guys are fast and specialised in that distance, so to come second was great." For now, it's just about fighting his way right back to the top, with his training load to increase to as much as 40 hours per week, while

also helping out some of the next wave of exciting athletes coming through the south-east area in a role that ingrates him in the community. "I'm doing a bit of coaching for Casey Cardinia Triathlon squad, so I've been working

Rivals unite to shine a light By Russell Bennett Sometimes a game of local cricket can mean so much more than that - more than the sport, itself. Its significance goes beyond the players competing, or even their clubs. It serves a much larger purpose. On Sunday at Rutter Park in Tooradin, that purpose was to raise awareness and muchneeded funds for beyondblue - a vital cause so close to the hearts of West Gippsland Cricket Association (WGCA) Premier division rivals, Tooradin and Pakenham. The 'Sea-Lions Big Beyondblue Bash' on Sunday was the first of what both clubs hope to be an annual event between the Seagulls and Lions. Tooradin club president Kane Latham told the Gazette around $1500 was raised for beyondblue on the day. "We felt making a day for beyondblue was cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

important, as both of our teams have been affected by the loss of players and supporters, and have others currently struggling with their own issues," he said. "The stigma around mental health, particularly in men, is slowly being erased and we wanted this day to help speed up that process. "We plan to make it an annual event, and we thank Mitsu (Pakenham club president Phil Anning) and the Pakenham Cricket Club for not only their support but also their generous donation to beyondblue. "It was a fantastic day with an even better game of cricket going right down to the wire. "The local community supported it and was fantastic, and we hope that next year is even bigger." In a statement on the Pakenham Cricket Club Facebook page in the build-up to the clash, Anning said: "We at the Pakenham Cricket Club are proud to be a part of the day and we congratulate Tooradin on this great initiative ... ".

Pakenham and Tooradin players line up at Rutter Park before their beyondblue clash. The battle on field was befitting of the special occasion, with Pakenham - led by young gun Zac Chaplin (69), experienced playercoach Rob Elston (47), Troy McDermott (34), and Jason Williams (31) - setting the Gulls 219 for victory after being dismissed in 38 overs. The home side was bowled out for 200 with eight balls to spare, despite the brilliant efforts of gun all-rounder and former Pakenham premiership winner Russell Lehman (92).

Cal O'Hare (3/28) and Dylan Sutton (3/30) were the leading wicket-takers for the Gulls, while for Pakenham Williams snared 3/32. With Sunday's result, the third-placed Lions delivered the second-placed Seagulls their first loss of the season. Anyone seeking help can contact beyondblue on 1300 224 636 or www.beyondblue.org. au.

Wilcock stars, Eagles falter By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 REVIEW - ROUND 8 It didn’t take long for BERWICK to stamp their authority as soon as day two recommenced against CRANBOURNE on Saturday. The Bears began the day at 7/123 as the only match not reverted into a one dayer, and the Eagles had the slightest sniff that if early wickets fell, they were in the game. Jarrod Armitage and James Wilcock started the day steadily with the blade, seeing off some quality bowling from likes of Pradeep Boyal, Tim Fathers and Cam Kelly. Then the boundaries started flowing and the fun ensured, with Armitage starting to take full advantage of the young opposition. The pair added a vital 60 runs, bringing the score to 183 before Armitage feathered one behind off Fathers (3/41) to be dismissed for 66 - his first half century of the year. Wilcock kept the momentum flowing, crossing his own half century to finish on 56 not out in a dynamic knock, as Bears skipper Jarrod Goodes had enough and declared on 9/206. It started as a terrific beginning to the Eagles’ run chase, with Cam Kelly (12) and Brandon Tyzzer (16) knocking 20 runs off the first four overs. Enter Wilcock (3/20) - who fresh off his half century - shredded the top order apart, using relentless lines and nippy pace to rattle the openers and number three Jake Harrington (0), picking up three quick scalps to leave the home side hanging by a thread at 3/32. Club coach Will Carr (1/7) got in on the fun, picking up Stuart Plunkett (6) only moments later, and before Plunkett could even take his pads off, both Nivin Sathyajith (0) and Clint Ayres (0) were back in the sheds, and the score

read a miserable 6/35. Skipper Lucas Ligt (20) stood tall to fight hard for his side, but wickets kept tumbling, and in just over two hours and 30 overs, the Eagles were rolled for 69. To make matters worse, it was their former premiership star Matt Chasemore (2/1) that ended the innings and rubbed salt into the wounds. The Eagles were sent back in, and finished the day on 2/59. Down at Carroll Reserve, BUCKLEY RIDGES won a game they simply shouldn’t have one, pipping ST MARY’S at the post in a final ball thriller. After being sent in to bat, Daniel ‘DJ’ Watson (47) and Greg Todd (71) got the Bucks off to a typical, rollicking start, climbing out to 64 before Watson lost his stumps. The Saints managed to peg the run rate back through their highly effective spin bowling attack, but Susantha Pradeep (49) and Todd started finding the boundaries late, and the Bucks reached a highly competitive 7/205 off their 40 overs. The home side got off to an absolute flyer, belting over seven runs per over off the first five to be 0/37. Another couple of strong overs lifted the Saints to 58, before Todd (5/21) - in what turned into a match winning spell - broke through to get the Bucks on the board. The Saints kept knocking runs up with ease, skipping out to 1/112 before Pradeep found a wicket. From 3/186, the Saints needed just the 20 runs for victory. But the Bucks had other ideas, as Todd ripped through the middle to pick up 3/9 in a matter of moments. Left arm spinner Wes Nicholas (3/26) then joined in the action, and eventually the Saints

were 8/195, needing nine off the last two overs. That equation shrunk to seven off the last overs, and Watson conceded just three runs, leaving the Saints four runs short of what seemed like a comfortable victory only an hour earlier. Down at Alex Nelson Reserve, there were no signs of slowing down for SPRINGVALE SOUTH, in a romping of NARRE WARREN Off the back of slow bowlers Jarryd Straker (2/17), Craig Slocombe (2/24) and Malinga Bandara (1/31), the Magpies were kept to just 138 despite a terrific late cameo to Hussain Ali (44). It took just 25 overs for the Bloods to make light work of the small total, with Liam Hamilton (38), Nathan King (20), Steven Spoljaric

(46 not out) and Dylan Quirk (25 not out) all making runs. HALLAM KALORA PARK also made light work of NORTH DANDENONG at Lois Twohig, with the Hawks keeping in touch with the top four. The Maroons were outclassed by an in form Hawk bowling outfit, and led by superb performances by Jordan Hammond (3/16) and Vishal Thind (4/20), the home side could only muster up 127 in 32.3 overs. Consistent pair Ben Hillard (17) and Leigh Booth (45) put on 54 for the first wicket, and from there the Hawks breezed, reaching the total with five wickets left in the shed. Sanjeewa De Silva (3/18) did his best to keep the Maroons in the game.

By Nick Creely VIC PREMIER CRICKET REVIEW - ROUND 13 (REPLAYED) Casey-South Melbourne put in a more competitive, combative showing down at Toorak Park on Saturday against Prahran, but fell short after being in a winning position. Swans skipper Lachie Sperling sent the True Blues in to bat, in what was a replayed one day match after last week's match was washed out. Aggressive left armer Jackson Fry (3/43) struck early, removing the dangerous Adam Bull (8) with a clever piece of bowling that caught the outside edge to Devin Pollock behind the stumps. In an innings that ebbed and flowed in momentum, the Swans eventually dismissed the True Blues for 197 in 47 overs, with Brendan Rose (2/38), Dylan Hadfield (2/22), Nathan Lambden (1/24) and Sperling (1/30) also picking up wickets. Despite not taking a wicket, young offie Jonah Serong (0/40) showed immense control in the middle overs to once again be a key factor. Under 19 Victorian representative Joel Mitchell (3) was trapped LBW early in the run

chase off the bowling of Sam Grimwade (3/26), but from there, the Swans began to build. Pollock (32) shared a 45 run stand with Michael Wallace (47), and the former then put on 52 runs with his skipper Sperling (33) to bring the Swans to 2/114. The dangerous Jordan Wyatt (2) was prized out cheaply, before Sperling fell moments later. Chris Benedek (12) and Dylan Hadfield (10) got the Swans back on track momentarily, knocking away 20 runs to draw to within 56 of the target But the True Blues rallied, and cracks emerged in the Swans' middle order, with the visitors losing clumps of wickets to be rolled for just 151. The last five wickets fell cheaply for just the nine runs. But it was a solid showing for the young side, who pushed a finals hopeful right to the brink away from home. They will look to claim a scalp when they host Footscray at Casey Fields on Saturday, in what is expected to be a typical Melbourne scorcher.

Jayasekara’s knock By Nick Creely WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION PREMIER DIVISION REVIEW - ROUND 11 Upper Beaconsfield captain Bathiya Perera is not at all surprised by star recruit Imesh Jayasekara’s stunning season, believing he is a ‘special talent’ that can help his side break into the finals this season. In the Maroons’ one day clash with Emerald at Chandler Reserve on Saturday, Jayasekara blasted an incredible 169; a knock including 17 fours and six sixes; as his side carved its way to a mind boggling 7/349 off 40 overs. It’s an innings that not only pushed Jayasekara to the top of the Premier Division run tally, but it also forced a re-shuffle of the record books. No player has made a higher score in Premier Division white ball cricket, and it’s now the tenth highest individual score overall. “He opened the batting, and got out in the 40th over; he started off well and just accelerated towards the end,” Perera said of Jayasekara’s knock. “It was an amazing innings to watch; he was 91 not out when I went into bat, and in the partnership I was so impressed with his ability to pick the right balls to hit, it was the difference. “He’s the highest run scorer in the competition now, and to be honest, in the first game against Pakenham, he just started so well; he’s scored runs against all the top sides, he does it against the best. “He’s got something special; being the person that got him to the club, I knew his capabilities. “Imesh is only 21, but he’s been someone who has scored big runs before, and someone who makes big scores when he gets going; it’s pleasing to see him do it in the middle.” Breathing down the neck of Cardinia in fourth position, Perera said if they can straighten out their bowling, they’re a threat no side wants to face. “We are one of the best batting sides in the competition; we have put on 175 plus and maybe 200 in the Twenty20’s, and made some big scores in the two day cricket, it’s our bowlcranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

ing which hasn’t been at the top,” he said. “I’m pleased with the batting form and the team at the moment. “We want to keep building our young talent, but we are two points behind Cardy sitting fifth, and if we can win all our games, we are every chance of grabbing fourth spot. “Unfortunately, the last two weeks haven’t helped us, as we planned to make some ground, but that’s how it goes. “We are hopeful of making finals and anything can happen.” Emerald put up a respectable showing in front of a large crowd celebrating the Bombers’ 125-year celebration, finishing on 9/227 after a solid half century to Trent Rolfs (67). Kooweerup also kept up its clinical form as it builds a solid line of form heading into finals, with Cardinia providing a late scare before the Demons steadied. There was plenty of feeling out in the middle between the two bitter rivals, with Demons skipper Mark Cooper sending Alex Nooy’s men to face the music. Jess Mathers (4/17) set the tone early to remove Ben Parrott (2), but by drinks, the Bulls steadied to be in a solid position for a competitive score. Nooy (72) played a lone hand in his side’s quest at a major scalp, playing a classy knock to help lift the Bulls to 165, a total Cooper was pleased to walk away with. The skipper himself struck 49; to take his tally to 433 at an average of 86.6; as the Demons walked away with a hard fought two wicket win, after some late wickets added a bit of drama. “This is the time of the year where we have to step it up a bit more and play with more intensity, so I thought we did that for the majority of the game, but it was positive signs,” he said. “Cardy are a competitive team and we needed to stand up. “At drinks they probably had the upper hand with only two wickets down, but once we took a few wickets and got the result of 165, we thought it was really gettable. “We weren’t in complete control with the bat, but probably had more control with the ball; we lost a few late wickets which probably

Kooweerup captain Mark Cooper has a word to Alex Nooy as tension rose between the two Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS rivals. 176845 evened it up in the end, but we felt we had enough wickets in the shed to get the result.” But in a tight win, Cooper saw a silver lining, with many of the club’s brightest young talents stepping up to the plate with the bat after being briefly threatened. “We had a good little partnership at the end with Lachie Ramage; who is 17; and Mitch Davey (16); and they went really well, and then Jack Bacon hit the winning runs, and he’s 17 as well,” he said. “From that perspective it’s a positive and we did mention that after the game, because in finals anything can happen.” With three games left to play before the finals get underway, Cooper said it’s now about his side playing with the intensity that makes the champion unit they are. “It’s now about finding form, and getting back to two day cricket is a big step in itself; we’ve had five one dayers in a row, and two day cricket feels like a long time ago,” he said. “We’re trying to flick that switch, and trying to get back into two day cricket, and set that standard heading towards finals.” In the rounds other two matches, Pakenham (218) inflicted Tooradin (200) with its first loss of the season, while an incredible 7/22 from Nick Sadler wasn’t enough for Clyde (9/152) to stave off an inspired Merinda Park (153) outfit.

Chance for kids to make a real racket over tennis By Nick Creely

Helen Witherden from the winning Ladies rink.

Cranbourne happy to take win at home CRANBOURNE BOWLS A full reversal of form gave Cranbourne Bowls' number 1 side full points at home against Berwick, which was a welcome relief for the club after last week's disappointment. Side 2 fell short by eight shots, while side 3 got up by four shots and side 4 won by 15 shots, which was a great result for the club. The ladies resumed play during the week and despite losing on two rinks continued on their winning ways with an eight-shot victory overall. Side 1 Division 2 Cranbourne played Berwick at home and crushed the opposition by an impressive 48 shots, with wins on all four rinks to gain maximum points and give the side every chance of playing finals at the end of the year. Terry Byrnes played his first game in the top side and made an immediate impression to help his rink to a 21-shot win. Gavin Wright was at his best and helped his rink win by 15 shots while Singles club champion Lynne Wood helped her team win with a

All in all, it was a result which should signal to opposition teams that Cranbourne is back in business. Ladies Side 1 Division 1 Skip Yvonne Van Der Wees and her rink of

Maureen Cameron, Helen Witherden, and Lynne Wood won by an amazing 25 shots, which was needed to defeat Edithvale by only eight shots with the other two rinks soundly defeated on the day against a very tough opposition. Side 2 Division 3 A competitive encounter with Glen Waverley resulted in a narrow eight-shot loss playing away despite a seven-shot win by Skip Sue Hudson and her team of Shane Morrison, Roger Roscoe and Tony Collins and a two-shot win by skip Gerry Dudink and his team. Side 3 Division 5 An exciting four-shot win overall was sweet news to Skip Peter Colthup and his crew of Bob Pyne, David Brown and Ron Shields, who were the difference between the two sides with a very impressive 10-shot win on their rink. Side 4 Division 8 Both rinks had a great win at home with skip Rob Sorensen and his team winning by five shots and skip John Forsythe and his team winning by 10 shots.

Berwick and District Tennis Association (BDTA) president Rob Osborne has a simple message for kids looking to get involved in local sport, tennis is the answer. With the growth of tennis in the local area, the City of Casey are running a 'Tennis Week' from Sunday 28 January to Sunday 4 February, designed for local clubs to host their own activities, and therefore promote the game. Clubs such as Berwick, Devon Meadows, Narre Warren, Narre Warren South, Fountain Gate, Hampton Park, Clyde, Harkaway and Doveton will be putting on activities such as open days, free court hire and mums programs. Osborne said that it's an exciting event, and one that he hopes will draw juniors into an association that provides tennis for up to 700 kids a year. "There are a lot other events going on at clubs other than the open days, such as free coaching, cardio tennis and some other social events," he said. "Tennis is a sport that you can play at any age; we get kids from about six or seven, and I only retired a few years ago in my mid-sixties, so it's a sport that you can play at any level, at any age, all you need is a court and a couple of players. "There are obviously fitness benefits, social benefits and long-time friendships can be made, and then there is the opportunity to play competitions on Saturday and Sunday mornings." While fitness, fun and social factors are arguably the most important aspect of local sport, Osborne said if you're good enough, you can make it far. "Occasionally, one of our junior players makes great strides into seniors - we've all heard of Destanee Aiava, she played her first season of competitive tennis at Fountain Gate," he said. "She moved on pretty quickly, but started her journey in the Berwick District Tennis Association." "We've had a few players that have played at a high level in Tennis throughout Victoria, maybe not as high as her at international level, but it's still a great opportunity."
