Property Lift out
Students settle in By Jessica Anstice The first day of school was a success for students and staff at Bridgewood Primary School in Officer on January 30. More than 100 eager-to-learn Prep students waved goodbye to their parents, carers and siblings before settling in and getting to know their new peers. "The children have all taken a tour of the school in their mentor groups, and everyone has enjoyed seeing them around the school," Bridgewood Primary School assistant principal Maree Jarrett said. "It is a very exciting time in Learning Community One." Bridgewood Primary School Prep students Gaiige and Ella were amongst 100 of the school's newest faces when they started on 30 January. 204001

"While works continue, we encourage drivers to plan their journey before they leave and allow at least an extra 15 minutes to their travel time," a VicRoads transport department spokesperson said. There will be some inbound lane closures at Nar Nar Goon and inbound lane closures at the Tynong Road intersection at stages during the remainder of the works, however the freeway will remain open during these times.

Road works on the Pakenham Bypass have caused traffic to bank up on Racecourse Road during peak periods, causing lengthy delays of up to 25 minutes on Wednesday 5 February. The Princes Freeway has been closed since works on the $875,000 project to re-seal 96,000 square metres of the freeway, east of Healesville-Kooweerup Road started on February 3. The impact of the road closure caused many people to be late for kinder, school and work, including Pakenham resident Lisa Lehne. "I left the house with my daughter at 8.30am this morning (Wednesday), thinking I had plenty of time to get her to kinder by
8.45am," she said. "Before we had even left, the estate traffic was already banked up towards Bald Hill Road so I decided to go a different way to bypass the heavy traffic but once I got onto Racecourse Road the traffic was absolutely bumper to bumper - hardly moving at all. "In the end we made it to kinder but 15 minutes later than expected." Commuter frustration was expressed in the comments on a post on Facebook by the Gazette. Melinda Ochoa described detour roads: Henry Road, Webster Way and Bald Hill Road as "absolute nightmares" to drive on,

Bail after drug raid A couple have been charged with drug trafficking after a police raid of their home in Dominic Court, Pakenham on 4 February. Police seized 1,4-butanediol, cannabis, pills, an LSD tab, prescription meds and a "significant" bag of "white powder", as well as a Rolex watch, other people's ID and bank cards, a court heard. Police told a Dandenong Magistrates' Court bail hearing that day that the pair were charged with trafficking 1,4-butanediol, cannabis and methamphetamine Magistrate Doug Bolster questioned why police had released the male accused on bail
but opposed bail to the 34-year-old woman. The male was possibly the "principal offender", Mr Bolster said. A police prosecutor told the court that the woman had "outstanding bail issues", and had been on bail during the alleged drug trafficking. While on bail on drug charges, she'd been accused of carrying a bottle of GHB upon entering Dandenong Magistrates' Court in December, police said. She'd allegedly tried to tip out the bottle's contents when it was detected by court security staff, police said. She resisted arrest, spat on a police officer's
ear and was OC-sprayed as she tried to flee. If bailed, the woman would return to the home with her partner, who was a unemployed drug-user, police argued. Mr Bolger granted bail, noting the accused's lack of convictions as well as her partner being bailed "under his own undertaking" for the same charges. It was not a "foregone conclusion" that she would be jailed for her role, Mr Bolger said. "The fact that she could commit offences on bail is always a risk but it's a risk I'm prepared to take." She was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 4 March.
Home attack leaves school in lockdown By Brendan Rees A primary school was forced into lockdown after a man was attacked in a nearby home invasion in Berwick on Tuesday 4 February. A 34-year-old Berwick man was in a serious but stable condition after being allegedly assaulted by thugs at a property on Centre Road about 1.30pm. Paramedics treated the victim who was taken to Dandenong Hospital after suffering multiple injuries which were deemed non-life threatening. Students at the nearby Berwick Fields Primary School were kept indoors for the afternoon after a message was sent to parents alerting them of the incident. The message assured parents the "incident does not involve the school but we have spoken with members on site and have decided as a result to keep all of the students inside for the afternoon." "When students are dismissed at 3.15 we will have extra staff on supervision on Centre Road," the message stated. Police say the unknown group fled and no arrests have been made. "Investigators have been told a group unknown offenders have arrived at the address in a vehicle," a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. "Two offenders have forced entry to the Centre Road house approximately 1.30 pm". Several police officers attended where crime scene tape was set up around the perimeter of the property. Neighbour Ron Caulfield said he and his wife were at home when they saw a police car activating its lights before at least three ambulances arrived shortly after. "Police have spoken to us but we didn't know what it was," Mr Caulfield said. "We saw the car go past with the lights on and thought they've grabbed somebody for speeding". Other neighbours described the area as usually quiet and didn't know what was unfolding on Centre road until police knocked on their doors. A neighbour, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation, said there had been different people living at the house where police

It may be a long wait for compensation for a Gumtree scam victim in Queensland. She had been scammed by Nathan Russell, 34, who posted an ad to sell a set of Holden wheels for $800 in April 2018, Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard. Since then, the victim has neither received the wheels nor her money back. Meanwhile that month, Russell was taken into custody on another matter, and released in January 2019. Russell pleaded guilty to a deception charge as well as breaching his community correction order via a prison video link at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 4 February. Police applied for a restitution order for $800 against Russell but it may have to wait until 2026 at the earliest. Last November, he was sentenced in the County Court of Victoria to eight years and nine months in jail for attempted aggravated carjacking and several counts of reckless conduct endangering life. It was described by County Court judge Michael McInerney as "the worst driving I have observed in my time as a Judge of over 20 years". "How no one was killed is an absolute miracle." Using the 'totality' principle, a defence lawyer argued for a concurrent sentence on the grounds of Russell's already "excessive" jail stint. He won't be eligible for parole until 2026. It was unlikely that the offences would have extended his 276-days in custody in 2018-19, the lawyer argued. "Any sentence would delay his availability for parole." The lawyer said the $800 restitution order would "bring undue hardship." Magistrate Doug Bolster said he wasn't swayed by the 'hardship' argument. "He's the one who put himself in that situation." But he noted that Russell was already serving a "significant sentence". Russell, a former mechanic, suffered posttraumatic stress disorder due to being stabbed during an aggravated burglary, the court heard. He was also diagnosed with anxiety, depression and ADHD, his lawyer said. Russell had "battled" with drug use such as ice, cannabis and speed since he was 15 years old. Mr Bolger jailed Russell for five months, served concurrently with his current prison stint. He was convicted and fined $1000.

Plan’s multicultural focus By Mitchell Clarke Cardinia Shire Council has adopted their second Cultural Diversity Plan in a bid to recognise and respond to the shire's expanding diverse community. The first plan was adopted in 2015 and aimed to ensure all of the council's services and programs were accessible, responsive and sensitive to the varied needs of the shire's culturally and linguistically diverse population. The new plan (2019-23) will aim to build from those findings and has been developed through extensive consultation via the shire's first multicultural forum, which was held last November. The Cardinia Shire Council Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Advisory Committee, Cardinia Interfaith Network, the CALD Network and community members assisted by informing the plan. The plan has identified four strategic priorities; welcoming diversity, building connections, promoting participation and sharing outcomes. "This plan is demonstrative of Council's continued commitment to supporting our growing culturally diverse community, with an aim to promote and facilitate good multicultural practice and leadership within our community," mayor Jeff Springfield said. "This will focus our attention on ways we can continue to build strong and healthy communities that celebrate and nurture our cultural diversity." Apart from English, there are 11 other languages which are widely spoken within the shire including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Italian and Spanish. Meanwhile, multicultural communities in Cardinia are now able to apply for State Government funding to assist in carrying out cultural festivals and events.
Chinese opera performers during a previous cultural parade. 150573 Multicultural Affairs minister Richard Wynne opened the first round of the Multicultural Festivals and Events Program on Friday 31 January, which will allow organisations to apply for funding for events which will be held between 1 July and 31 December 2020. "This is about giving multicultural communities every opportunity to share and express their heritage and traditions with their fellow Victorians," Mr Wynne said. "By generously sharing your culture, you directly contribute to making Victoria a di-
verse and welcoming place. "I strongly encourage multicultural communities in rural and regional Victoria and all new and emerging communities to apply." Successful applications could receive up to $2000 for smaller community grants and between $7000 and $70,000 for larger grants. New applicants, particularly those from regional areas and new and emerging communities are encouraged to apply. A regional roadshow will take place across
Victoria from early February to inform local communities and organisations about the program and how to apply. The Multicultural Festivals and Events Program have provided funding to over 750 events in the last financial year. The events provided more than $10 million to the economy. Interested groups need to apply before 10 March. For more information or to apply, visit vic. gov.au/multicultural-festivals-and-eventsprogram.

Cr Sam stays overseas By Brendan Rees A key figure in an IBAC corruption investigation and a former Casey mayor has taken aim at his fellow councillors after they reluctantly granted a request for extended paid leave. At a public council meeting on Tuesday 4 February, councillors voted for embattled councillor Sam Aziz a leave of absence until 31 March citing medical grounds. Cr Aziz is one of the keys players in the Casey land scandal where it's alleged he pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars from a developer in exchange for favourable planning decisions. Cr Aziz made a dash to Egypt last November before the Independent Broad-based Anticorruption Commission (IBAC) conducted its hearings. Casey mayor Susan Serey said at the meeting the decision to grant Cr Aziz had "not been made lightly," and "the situation is less than ideal". She said council was bound by their obligations under the Local Government Act, which fell "far short from what I know our community expects. "Councillors around the table feel the same way," Cr Serey said. "Having considered the medical advice provided by Cr Aziz in support of his application, as well as the legal advice which has reiterated our obligation to not unreasonably refuse leave, believe we had no alternative to do otherwise. "I want to stress that my councillor colleagues sitting around this table wouldn't have voted for this motion unless it had potentially other serious legal implications for the city of Casey and its ratepayers," Cr Serey said. In a Facebook message, Cr Aziz hit back at the mayor, labelling her statement as "denigrating". "Tonight council approved a further leave of absence for me after I submitted a detailed medical report explaining why I am not able
Council has granted Cr Sam Aziz leave until 31 March. to return to duty at this stage," Cr Aziz's statement said. "That was a report and not just a 'medical certificate'. "I have remained deliberately silent since this ordeal started in November last year, in what has become a media circus, and a savage feeding frenzy by certain fringe groups and keyboard warriors, who have always had an axe to grind," his statement read. "It appears that sober and fair assessment has completely gone out the window, despite
the undeniable success of the City of Casey, and our obvious record in delivering world class infrastructure and excellent services for our residents, supported by a very efficient and financially lean administration". But Cr Aziz stated he had "every intention of returning to duty, and as soon as I can," adding councillors were aware of his medical condition which he says was diagnosed in May last year. In the statement, he said he did finish the "work I have been doing overseas" and
changed a return flight home from 8 December to 19 November last year, and had "paid a significant non-refundable fare difference to do so." "However, I was prevented from boarding the aircraft at check-in due to a very serious cardiac health condition. "The mayor was given documentary evidence of this flight change, as well as detailed medical evidence of the progress of my health condition," Cr Aziz stated. Minister for Local Government Adem Somyurek said he expected councillors "to turn up to meetings and do their job". "Under the Local Government Act, the office of a councillor becomes vacant if they are absent from four ordinary meetings of the council without obtaining leave," Mr Somyurek said. This week, the State Government announced it would extend the tenure of Casey monitor Laurinda Gardner until 11 February. Ms Garner was originally due to provide her report on councillor governance and decisionmaking to the Minister by 31 January, following her appointment on 27 November last year. Mr Somyurek said he would "carefully consider" the monitor's report "to determine if any further intervention is warranted at the council, and respond in due course". Meanwhile, Liberal MP for Gembrook Brad Battin called on Casey councillors to "step down immediately." "It may sound unfair, but the Casey councillors should step down, remove all risk to the company and have administrators appointed until all these matters are resolved," he said. The Casey Ratepayers and Residents Association spokesman Brendan Browne council's decision to grant Cr Aziz leave was not what ratepayers deserved. "We just can't have this ongoing situation ... the State Government needs to act and dismiss them," he said. IBAC examinations will restart on 2 March and are open to the public.
Brave witness intervenes as teen bloodied in brawl A brave woman has told of the moment she tried to break up a brawl at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre where a teen was left bloodied in what's believed to be a scissor attack. Amanda, who asked her surname not to be published, was shopping at Myer about 4pm on Saturday, 1 February, when a row broke out between a group of teenage boys. Amanda said she tried to intervene by putting her hand out in front of one of the boys, telling him to "just stop it, just stop it" while another shopper shouted at the boys to get out. According to Amanda, the boy she tried to hold back "kept antagonising" the group and "going back" to help his brother. "What they were after them for I don't

know," she said. At this stage, the fight between the group aged between 15 and 18 years of age, had escalated and spilled outside near the Shingle Inn cafe and Amanda called police. "The next minute I saw them picking the sign up from Myer, and running at the boy with the sign, and then things were getting smashed," Amanda said. "One of the Myer staff said: 'One of the boys' been stabbed in the neck with scissors'. "Someone else shouted: 'He's been stabbed'," Amanda said, as dozens of onlookers videoed the fallout of the incident before police arrived and taped off the area. Amanda said one of the boys injured in the fight was given first aid by Myer staff members. "They're trying to mop him up and there's blood all over the floor," she said.

Victoria Police spokesman Sergeant Cameron Scott said two boys had been charged "following an assault at a Narre Warren shopping centre". He said a 15-year-old from Dandenong was charged with affray and intentionally cause injury and was remanded in custody to appear at a children's court at a later date. The second boy, a 14-year-old from Frankston, was charged with affray and bailed to appear at a children's court later this month. Police could not confirm whether a pair of scissors had been used in the assault, saying the "injuries are non-life threatening". Paramedics treated a teenage boy at the scene and taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition with an upper body injury. Sunil, a staff member at Shingle Inn, said he was in the kitchen when he heard screaming
and fighting. He said panic-stricken customers stayed in the cafe between half-an-hour and 45 minutes. "It is very dangerous these young people fighting," he said. "I've got the metal signs outside - they may use sometime. I have seen on the news what happens". Gembrook MP Brad Battin said violence at the shopping centre was "only increasing" and called on the State Government to take action. "The safety of staff and shoppers should not be placed under risk," he said. "Daniel Andrews must act immediately in providing the adequate resources to assist police in in restoring a safe shopping and work environment for Casey residents." Westfield's Scentre group said the incident was reported to police and could not comment any further.

Pool owners cop inflation costs The above is being caused by all levels of Government! The local council at the instruction of our State Government has, belatedly, decided to take action to ensure pool safety in the home environment! However they have decided that the 8000 pool owners in the Casey area can pay $632,000 to register what the Casey Council should already know about. Then pool owners will have to supply an inspection certificate by a licensed building inspector at approximately $375 each for the 8000 Casey located pools which is about $3,000,000! Should your pool be non-compliant here will be a further fee for re-inspection once remediation work is completed! Once that is done you will have issued by the Council a certificate at $31.84 each, equalling $254720! If you have to have a remediation inspection done they are approximately $200 each. So at a minimum it will cost pool owners $632,000 plus $3,000,000 plus $254,720 totalling $$3,886,720.00 which the State Government has decided ratepayers can pay. The services we pay our local councils for are not being supplied! I appreciate that having even one child drown is to be avoided at all costs however the pool next to me which was Council approved (so they know of its existence) has not had any inspections carried out in the last eight years by Council or State Government! I wonder why our State Government has not done anything about rectifying their anomaly until now! I also wonder why our local council has not taken action to ensure the safety of children! Why have the State Government decided to further cause inflation when Local Govern-

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Monday 3 February a story was shared to the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page regarding the sentencing of a man who brutally stabbed his wife to death.

$20.8m school is open for business By Brendan Rees Hundreds of students have stepped through the gates of a brand new school in Clyde North for the first time. Minister for Education James Merlino and Bass MP Jordan Crugnale officially opened the new $20.8 million Grayling Primary School, welcoming its first students, from Prep to Year 6, on Friday 31 January. The school includes administration buildings, classrooms, and a state-of-the-art performing arts and physical education centre with open play space. The school, which is named after the endangered freshwater fish that is known to inhabit Cardinia Creek, is co-located next to Manna Gum Family and Community Centre, a new integrated children's and community centre allowing local children to make a smooth transition from kindergarten and helping parents ditch the dreaded double drop off. Grayling Primary is one of 11 new schools opening in 2020 across the state. During the opening ceremony, little preppies wearing their new school uniform were presented with new library bag and bundle of books to spark the joy of reading, as family and friends watched on. Mr Merlino then led a 'hands up if you know?' with students asking questions about school and student numbers in Victoria. Mr Merlino said Grayling Primary School was "yet another great example of the school building boom that is happening right across Victoria." "Whether it's achieving excellence, building a world-class education system or creating opportunities for every Victorian, we're making sure that every student can make the most of school and get the best start in life," he said. Ms Crugnale said principal Luke Abdallah and his teaching/support staff were "super energised and already delivering quality education," adding the school was living up to its motto - 'proud and connected'." "The principal and teaching staff are energised and ready to start delivering quality education, programs and activities so that all

Island’s model Matt unlucky in love A Narre Warren international model says he hasn't given up his search for love after his starring reality TV role. Matt Zukowski, 24, tried his luck with romance on Channel Nine's dating reality series, Love Island Australia, which aired in November. After casting for the role, which he says he had "nothing to lose," he was soon joined by a group of young singles who converged on a luxury villa in Fiji in the hope of finding a partner. "I was genuine about trying to find someone," he explained. Matt, who spent the whole six weeks on the island and crowned runner-up, says his "roller coaster journey" saw him coupled with Vanessa Sierra "pretty heavily" but their relationship took a turn. "She got accused of being fake by people who were coming in like the intruders," he says. "We had like real arguments all the time. She ended up being dumped by three of the guys I was close with. "I was single and then like five new girls came in; none of them liked me. "It was pretty full on." Matt, who has walked the catwalks of Milan and London and is also a pro wrestler, described the paradise island like being in a "bubble". "We had no sense of time," he says. "You're constantly on edge about what's going to happen next."

It allows us to ensure that students develop intentionally in mind, body and soul. Students are nurtured across the curriculum, inside and outside the classroom, through innovative learning opportunities in core subjects, a vibrant Arts program, technologies and sport. In a nutshell, Lakeside College seeks to support students to nurture their God-given gifts through a love for learning, which sets them up to go out into the world and make a positive impact.

Music for all
New Real Estate View board member Antony Catalano.
The extensive music program at Chairo Christian School’s Kinder to Year 12 campus on Bald Hill Road between Pakenham and Nar Nar Goon culminates with students in various bands and choirs entertaining onlookers at different local venues during December.

The rapid growth of realestateview.com.au (REV) has continued, with the expanding property portal appointing Antony Catalano as a board member. Mr Catalano and his business partner, billionaire investor Alex Waislitz, who acquired Australia Community Media (ACM) last year, now hold the largest interest in realestateview. com.au, with an economic stake of 26 per cent. REV is the third largest property portal in Australia. Its audience has grown by more than 40 per cent over the last 12 months. Realestateview.com.au chief executive Tony Balazs said the business had undergone a period of rapid transformation. “The opportunity to work with ACM and extend our brand through their network is a clear vote of confidence for the work we’ve been doing. The opportunity will allow us to further grow our audience and deliver improved results for our customers,” he said. “Antony has an impressive track record of rapidly growing media businesses, particularly in the real estate category. I feel confident that realestateview.com.au will grow its market val-
ue immensely by becoming part of Antony’s cross-platform media network.” Mr Catalano’s appointment to the board follows the launch realestateview.com.au and CoreLogic’s price estimator late last year. Mr Catalano said realestateview.com.au had a range of industry attractions but its most valuable asset was it’s highly engaged audience. “This audience, coupled with the ability to deliver advertising solutions at speed, presents a compelling opportunity to create a multipronged media group inclusive of a property portal,“ he said. Star News Group, publisher of this title, has been an investor in REV since 2017 along with a number of other independent media publishers. Star News Group managing director Paul Thomas said: “This is a business with a significant audience and high growth. “Antony Catalano and his 170 plus regional titles involvement will assist that rapid expansion. It will be a win for agents, vendors and buyers.“

Preps take first steps By Brendan Rees Butterflies and tears can overtake the first day of preps but there was nothing but grins for those starting at Berwick's Brentwood Park Primary School. There was excitement among the 143 preps as they embraced their first day of school on Thursday 30 January. Assistant principal Jo-Anne Doran said it was the "most settled" class of preps they've had for a while with no tears. She added while some felt anxious, most pupils were excited to embark on their education journey. Teachers led the students on a tour of the school before engaging in reading and writing tasks. "They loved playing the pirate ship," Ms Doran said, as students ventured to the playground. Ms Doran said the school this year welcomed "lots of new families and siblings". She said the school held four transitioned programs before the preps started their first day to help make their first day that little bit easier. "On the whole it has been amazing," Ms Doran said. And this week the students will enjoy specialist programs including music, art, P.E and Chinese classes. As children begin a new school year, parents and carers are urged to be extra vigilant during drop-off and pick up times, obey parking restrictions, keep clear of school crossings

Warriors return to battle By sports editor Russell Bennett The Warriors are once again set to go into battle on the big stage as the West Gippsland Cricket Association embarks on its second tilt at the top tier of VCCL Melbourne Country Week later this month. Some of the biggest names in the WGCA have put their hands up to be involved in a clear sign of the esteem they hold the competition in, as well as the leaders running the Warriors' campaign. Last year's group created history by being the first to represent the WGCA at Provincial level, and this year's squad is hoping to take yet another significant step forward. What's been built in recent seasons under the likes of senior Country Week coordinator, Pakenham Cricket Club president Phil Anning, Rob Elston, Mark Cooper, Ben Maroney and Dom Paynter has only grown. Whatever it is - it's special, and it's driving the group to heights many outside the association, and a large number within, didn't think it was even capable of reaching. Look at the progression - from winning Division 3, to progressing out of Division 2, to retaining its spot in the top, Provincial tier. It's undeniable. By the only relevant measure in Victorian state cricket, the WGCA is one of the top eight country leagues. And it rings true that one of the biggest virtues of a proven, quality side is its ability to bounce back from defeat - and quickly. It's what made last year's group so impressive, like when it was smashed by the might of Geelong, only to bounce straight back and topple the powerful Warrnambool and District. The WGCA's 2020 Melbourne Country Week campaign starts at 10am on Monday, 17 February against Sale-Maffra at Jubilee Park in Frankston. The Warriors then face Geelong at the Preston City Oval on the Tuesday, followed by Ballarat at Ivanhoe on the Wednesday, before the finals take place on 20 and 21 February. The initial squad was formed through a range of factors including previous Country Week representation; form; and the inclusion of a number of highly-skilled players either joining, or returning to, the WGCA. From there, a selection group including Dale Tormey, Chris Bright, and Rob Elston was formed to finalise the group, and this was overseen by Phil Anning. "The aim of the selectors was to involve players who we believed could fit well in the dynamic that has been created, which is very much based around a team-first mentality, playing your role, and getting along really well on and off the field," Elston explained. "It certainly helps that a number of players have had previous turf experience through Country Week or other representative teams, and have great skillsets that are suited to the intense week long competition." Elston paid tribute to the work of Bright and Anning in getting Tormey and Mathers - two of the best players in the region - involved in this year's campaign. "It's great for the group to have such guns of the competition involved and I'm sure all members of the team will enjoy learning off them to help the team and improve their games," Elston said of Tormey and Mathers. "The biggest lesson of Country week is that it is a tough week from start to finish. "There are many peaks and troughs, and to be successful it takes a whole team approach
Pakenham star Dale Tormey will lead this year’s WGCA senior Country Week side. 201728 and, when things aren't going your way, working through the hard bits to come out the other side and get the rewards. "Aside from the fact we have a lot of players who are returning for another campaign, which means they have been here before and know what it takes, the biggest strength of this group is that there are so many match-winners who have shown countless times that they can get the job done when needed. "But at the same time these players can sacrifice for the team, and play a role with bat or ball to ensure that the result will go our way. It's an exciting time with a great group assembled and I can't wait to see what they can achieve because, with some luck, we could certainly mirror our result from last season if not exceed it." The final Warriors squad includes a host of experienced, and proven, Country Week performers - including a number who represented the association in its run last year - as well as some of the best all-around talent the WGCA has to offer. Reigning Terry Stephenson medalist Tormey - who's again enjoying a phenomenal individual season so far with 783 runs to his name at 87.00, and 18 wickets at 26.6 - will lead this side.

Final ball thriller seals it By Nick Creely

But through skipper Cal O’Hare (56 not out) - who combined in a crucial stand with Russ Lehman (31) - the Seagulls clawed their way back, before the wicket of Lehman at the start of the final over with six required off five balls. Some tight bowling from the Cougars saw the game tied with a ball to spare, before Gulls president Ben Mantel slashed a cut-shot through the field for four to win the game for his club. O’Hare - who steered the ship in a true captain’s knock - was duly awarded man of the match in the club’s second ever Kooka-

Tooradin has done very little wrong this cricket season to date, and the club snared its first piece of silverware this year on Sunday in West Gippsland’s Twenty20 Kookaburra Cup, clinching the title in a last ball thriller. The Seagulls - also sitting second on the Premier division table as they search for their first flag since 2012/13 - are blessed with an abundance of star power, and it was all on show on Sunday’s finals day at Pakenham’s Toomuc Reserve. Skipper Cal O’Hare and his group started the day in dominant fashion, cruising past Devon Meadows in the semi-final. Restricting the Panthers to just 7/75 - helped largely by Josh Lownds - who snared the impressive figures of 2/5 off four overs, including two maidens, the Seagulls raced the total down in just 11.3 overs, with Neil Peake continuing his fine season with an unbeaten 43. On the neighbouring oval, Clyde pulled off a stunner, knocking off Pakenham in a major upset, with the Cougars in vintage touch. After setting 127 for victory, the Cougars gave the Lions very little chance, restricting the champs to 6/108 from their 20 overs, with Liam Bennett (3/13) particularly influential. With both sides desperate to pick up some silverware with regular season finals looming for both teams, the Cougars elected to bat in the grand final, and off the back of a superb hand from Kiefer Peries (59), mustered up 9/118 after a shaky start. Troy Lehman (3/19) showcased his immense class with a terrific spell through the middle for the Seagulls, while Bailey Lownds (2/15) did the early damage with the ball. The Seagulls lost a wicket in the first over of the chase, and when Peake, Dylan Sutton and Aaron Avery all found themselves back in the shed without causing any damage, the favourites were 4/49 off 10 overs, still requiring 69
