As far as New Year’s resolutions go, Hanna Tran aimed high. The Laverton woman, who has been crowned Royal International Ms Australia, will head to Florida in July to vie for the world title in her division. “It started off as a New Year’s resolution at the start of last year,” the 25-year-old said. “I thought about jumping off a plane, scuba diving, swimming with the sharks at the aquarium – but I came to choose competing in an Australian national beauty pageant.” Ms Tran said she hoped to use her platform to found a charity. “I love doing charitable work,” she said. “I grew up with a family that instilled those values in me. “Coming from a Vietnamese and Chinese background, I’m coming from a country with a background that’s quite poor. “I’ve really got my eyes on starting my own charity to raise money for homeless people in Vietnam, and also to curb hunger as well. “I’m very lucky to have grown up here.” Wherever her reign takes her, Ms Tran said part of her heart belonged to Laverton. “I’ve lived in the same house in Laverton my whole life,” she said. “I grew up very close to my neighbours from different walks of life and different cultural backgrounds, and as a result I’ve made a lot of friends, learned a lot of different things from them. “I feel the sense of belonging in Laverton because there’s a lot of acceptance of cultural diversity – I’m really big on that.”

Development of the half-built and abandoned Club Edgewater project could finally be back on track with new owners lodging plans to redevelop the site with offices and apartments. Maribyrnong residents have raised growing concerns about rubbish dumping and illegal activities at the 31 Edgewater Boulevard site, labelling the concrete shell an eyesore and safety risk. The future of the site has been in limbo since 2015 when Western Bulldogs walked away from their controversial $30 million pokies and entertainment project after falling out with the site’s then owner and developer, Prizac. Prizac then partnered with hotel group Adara on plans for a 10-storey development on the 5100-square-metre site to contain a hotel, apartments, shops and a gym. Maribyrnong council approved a scaled-back, eight-storey complex with 72 hotel rooms and 90 apartments, only for Prizac to back away from the plan and place the site on the market. The property was last year sold to Ninety Four Feet and Hamilton Marino Builders for a reported $9.5 million. Ninety Four Feet is the developer behind the “Frankie” apartment project in Yarraville. A new planning application for the Edgewater Boulevard site was lodged with Maribyrnong council in December. It seeks to retain the existing four-level shell and construct two additional levels. The proposed project scraps the previously approved hotel, opting instead for 88 apartments, offices, a medical centre, a showroom and a 110-place childcare centre. Maribyrnong planning services director Nigel Higgins said the application, which is exempt from advertising or objection, remains in the early stages of assessment. Ninety Four Feet managing director Dean Rzechta said there had been challenges retrofitting a new proposal to the existing structure, but he was confident the project would be popular with owner-occupiers and welcomed by the local community. “There was a pokies and alcohol and live venue approved for the site, which we know has been a concern for the community,” he said. “We will be providing a combination of offices and apartments that should fill a nice gap in the market.” Mr Rzechta said once council approval was gained construction would begin almost immediately, rather than waiting for pre-sales to be completed.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
OUT AND ABOUT
Happy New Year, I look forward to a very exciting 2019! A big thank you to everyone who came down and made our 2019 NYE Fireworks in Footscray Park our biggest and best yet. The atmosphere at the event was fantastic with those of all ages enjoying the live entertainment, carnival rides and food trucks. It was also a great opportunity for families to explore the new all-abilities play space and beautiful Edwardian gardens at Footscray Park. With a water play space, musical instruments and sand pit this is sure to be a hit over the summer months.

The City also had the opportunity to celebrate the Year of the Pig with the East Meets West Lunar New Year Festival held on 13 January. The Year of the Pig is predicted to bring fortune and luck. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Catherine Cumming who was elected to the Legislative Council representing the Western Metropolitan Region following the recent State Election. Catherine served as a Councillor for our City for over 20 years and we thank her for her dedication and wish her all the best for the next chapter. With Catherine’s resignation, a countback has been scheduled for 10am on Monday 21 January at Town Hall in Footscray to fill an extraordinary vacancy. The vacancy will be filled by a countback of the vacating councillor’s votes from the 2016 Maribyrnong City Council election. We will publish the result as soon as it becomes available. For all the latest information follow us on Facebook or visit our website.

MY VIEW Our City has a strong Vietnamese cultural presence with about ten per cent of the population born in Vietnam, an influence particularly present within Footscray’s Little Saigon district. This is why I welcomed the State Government’s commitment to contribute to the funding of Australia’s first Vietnamese Cultural Centre and Museum. Located in Footscray, the Museum will provide a space to celebrate the Vietnamese community and act as a central area to collect, preserve and share their cultural and history.
Mayor Cr Martin Zakharov

The Victorian chapter of the Vietnamese Community in Australia has long been advocating for the Museum and it is an honour to support them in this project. The Museum is set to be complete prior to 2025, the 50th anniversary of the settlement of Vietnamese refugees in Australia and I look forward to celebrating this milestone with my family and the local community.

Lifeline for Newport RSL By Goya Dmytryshchak Newport RSL’s fight for survival seems likely to be won after the sub-branch was bailed out of financial difficulty by the state branch. The club closed in early August as Victorian RSL examined the sub-branch’s financial position. State president Robert Webster last week told Star Weekly that the sub-branch would next month hold a second meeting to consider its options. An extraordinary general meeting was held shortly before Christmas.
“If it is to continue, it will continue as what we call ‘a traditional sub-branch’ – it will have no commercial operation,” Dr Webster said. “The Victorian branch has settled all of the creditors and paid all staff entitlements including PAYG and superannuation at this stage … it’s in the vicinity of $50,000. “None of the previous office bearers turned up to an extraordinary general meeting. “That’s the primary purpose of the next meeting: to see if they can establish a viable committee and have a viable option going forward.
“I think it’s a great outcome for the sub-branch but the members are going to have to support it.” Dr Webster said matters had been brought to a head after the sub-branch failed to pay the rent on its Market Street club to the state government’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Newport RSL member Ian Nicholls, who cut an international work engagement to attend the pre-Christmas meeting, said there was a proposal to run the club on a voluntary basis. “We’ve eliminated the need for wages,
superannuation or WorkCover premiums” he said. “We have the people with experience in the hotel and hospitality industry, along with those who are successful in their chosen field and who bring a wealth of business acumen to the table. “If run properly, it’s a viable entity and, with that, enables us to fulfil the obligations of what the RSL stands for, which is to provide welfare to past and present servicemen and women.” The plan includes changing the hours of operation to open from Thursday to Sunday.
Batting for a better life Damien Oliver will join the first female to win the Melbourne Cup, Michelle Payne, at a charity cricket match for injured and fallen jockeys in Williamstown next week. It is the first time the annual National Jockeys Trust T20 Cricket March has been held in Melbourne’s west. Oliver, who lost both his father and brother to horse racing accidents, dedicated the second of his three Melbourne Cup wins to his brother Jason who died during trackwork. Jason Benbow, who fractured his vertebrae in a trackwork fall at Caulfield last March, said the trust had paid out more than $3.5 million since it was established in 2004. “That’s 350 jockeys assisted in that time,” he said. “It assists in all aspects. “If someone does pay the ultimate price … they’ll cover costs for the funeral and they’ll also continue to support their family, so they’ll put their kids through school.
“Then, there’s obviously incidents where people require wheelchairs or things like that, or they may be injuries that plague you later on down the track and you can apply for a grant and have the trust cover those costs if it’s deemed to be related to injuries from riding.” Hobsons Bay’s deputy mayor Michael Grech said the jockeys would play against celebrities including Brendan Fevola and Archie Thompson. The National Jockeys Trust T20 Cricket March is at Williamstown Cricket Ground (Burbank Oval) on Monday, January 21 at noon for a 1pm start. There will be sausage sizzle, kids activities, a raffle and giveaways. For more information or to donate, visit www.njtcricket.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Childcare services fall behind By Benjamin Millar Maribyrnong council will need to spend at least $40 million on five new childcare centres to keep up with the area’s baby boom, a new report has found. The council’s Maribyrnong Early Years Infrastructure Plan 2018-2038 estimates that population growth over the next 20 years will require two new centres in Footscray, two in the Seddon/Yarraville/Kingsville area and another centre in Maribyrnong. The report recommended work begin
immediately on planning a new childcare centre for Footscray, ready to operate by 2021. The new centres are in addition to the 16 council-owned buildings already used to deliver sessional kindergarten, long day childcare and maternal and child health. The council spends $2.7 million on early years services, about 2 per cent of the council’s annual $132 million budget. In 2017, there were 1042 children attending four-year-old kindergarten and 1404 licensed childcare places. Maribyrnong’s population is predicted to
soar by 64 per cent over the next two decades, from 89,517 to 147,012. The number of children aged from birth to four year years of age is expected to increase 58 per cent, from 6677 to 10,574, booming by 158 per cent in Footscray. The report found population growth and greater urban density will create a high demand for already stretched early years services. “A ‘one size fits all approach’ early years model is less acceptable, particularly for working families,” the report stated The report found recent trends suggest the not-for-profit sector is withdrawing from
providing early years services in Maribyrnong. Council-owned facilities provided 35 per cent of places, not-for-profit services 19 per cent and private operators the remaining 46 per cent. “Private providers will not take a ‘whole of municipality’ view of early years services and will set up in areas where it is considered to be competitive and viable,” the report found. Meanwhile the council has agreed to lease the Church Street childcare centre in West Footscray to not-for-profit provider ECMS once construction is completed.
Midsumma in the west Midsumma will kick off in Hobsons Bay on Sunday with the first of six events being held as part of Australia’s premier queer arts and cultural festival. Hobsons Bay councillor Tony Briffa said a coalition of western councils known as Midsumma Westside would host 18 events across Melbourne’s west. “Midsumma Westside is the next chapter of the eight-year GOWEST partnership that was initiated by Hobsons Bay City Council,” said Cr Briffa, who was the world’s first openly intersex mayor. “Hobsons Bay is proud to continue its longstanding partnership with the LGBTQIA+ community and the festival’s celebration of diversity and culture, which brings the spirit of Midsumma to the western suburbs.” Australia-born artist Melanie Jame Wolf, who lives and works in Melbourne and Berlin, will launch an exhibition, Chorus at The
Substation, in Newport on January 20 from 2pm. A Mad Hatter Tea Party will be held at the same venue on January 23 from noon-4pm for people aged 12-25. Archer Magazine’s Bobuq Sayed and Adolfo Aranjuez will host Writers in Conversation at Newport Community Hub on January 31 from 6.30-7.30pm.

Altona RSL pokies bid rejected By Goya Dmytryshchak A bid by Altona RSL to take in 22 gaming machines from the defunct Williamstown RSL Club has been refused by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation. The Altona sub-branch had applied to increase the number of its electronic gaming machines (EGMs) from 58 to 80. Hobsons Bay council opposed the application. There are nine pokies venues in Hobsons Bay with a total of 535 machines, nearly half

’’
(239) of those being in the Altona-Seaholme neighbourhood. In their written reasons for the decision, commissioner Dina McMillan and deputy chair Helen Versey said the application could lead to an increase in problem gambling and therefore failed the “no net detriment test”.
“The commission is required to be satisfied that if the application is granted, the net economic and social impact of approval will not be detrimental to the wellbeing of the community of the municipal district in which the Altona RSL is located,” their report stated. They said the estimated revenue from 22 new machines at the club would be $3.45 million in the first year – almost double last financial year’s revenue. The commission found that transforming the venue from medium size to a large venue would increase the risk of problem gambling.
Wall about village living A mural celebrating the unique history of a Williamstown North fishing village has been unveiled. Boat shed owners at Kororoit Creek Historic Fishing Village were last week joined by members of the Hobsons Bay Art Society to unveil the artwork fronting the coastal trail at Gray Reserve Road. Ted Peck, fisherman and artist, said the mural was dedicated to the village and its colourful life and times. “It was established just after the First World War, so we’re looking at 100 years around about now of the fishing village being here,” he said. “Apparently, it was a good spot for some of those guys that came back to get a little bit socialised again after the traumas of war.” The mural features Kororoit Creek, waterbirds, the Altona skipper butterfly, a fisherman, boat sheds, the nearby former Williamstown Racecourse and Phar Lap, who
won the Underwood Stakes there in 1931. “Apparently, the nice thing to do was to hire a boat down here and row your lady friend up to the races,” Mr Peck said. “This bottom part of the creek here is so full of the early part of the history of Williamstown, I just think it would just be a real shame if anything happened to this area down here and we lost it.” Goya Dmytryshchak

“Wherever accessibility to EGMs is increased, there is always a risk of an increase in problem gambling, which leads to other costs such as adverse health outcomes, relationship breakdowns, emotional harms and other social costs,” the report stated. “The commission also accepts that to the extent that approval of this application would result in an increase to gambling-related crime and other social disturbances, including family violence, it would constitute a social disbenefit.” Altona RSL general manager David Hanson declined to comment on the decision.

One of them was an amazing chef. He taught me everything he knew, about curries and spices and stuff. FB: What is your signature dish? DR: I’m a curry man. I love cooking curries … you name it, I can cook it. I learnt a lot of coconut-based curries. Curries aren’t simple. Curries can be very, very exotic and different from each other. FB: What sort of food did you eat when you were growing up? DR: Oh, curry. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was curry. FB: You have a Japanese teppanyaki grill at home. DR: Everybody needs to have a teppanyaki grill at home that can seat 14 people. After the Indian thing, I sort of fell in love with Japan. I lived in Japan for a little while and studied Japanese cooking … I love cooking Japanese food now, too.
I hope everyone has recovered from the festival of food that is Christmas. I know a lot of us have Christmas food traditions. Since our son was born, mine has always been gingerbread houses, though certainly not the traditional kind. Baking, cutting out and then gluing together slabs of gingerbread with royal icing takes a special type of skill and patience I don’t really possess. Plus, our son would prefer chocolate cake over gingerbread any day, so that is what I give him. I call it my gingerbread cake house. I bake two square chocolate cakes I’m the first to admit that I use a packet mix (Betty Crocker’s chocolate fudge cake mix being my go-to choice) and cut one into four even triangles. This becomes the “roof” of my house. I sandwich the triangles together with chocolate icing (the store-bought kind is fine if you’re pressed for time) and stack them on top of the other cake. Then it’s just a matter of slathering in icing and decorating with any kind of lollies you fancy. Obviously, Freckles on the roof hide any imperfections! It looks very home-made – because it is! My son loves them and my hubby thoroughly enjoys the cake, too, with lashings of Connoisseur Murray River Salted Caramel ice-cream with hazelnuts! Here’s to a wonderful 2019. You can now find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and the Food Bytes podcast fires up again this year at mypodcasthouse.com.
FB: What’s the hottest and most exotic thing you’ve eaten? DR: I’ve eaten all kinds of stuff. I’ve eaten snakes, snails, crocodiles, guinea pig … but the hottest thing, I think, were the Louisiana Ghost Reaper chillies. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner?
As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@howdypartnersmedia.com.au
DR: They wouldn’t be foodies. I’d invite interesting people like Osama Bin Laden, maybe the Pope, a guy called Christopher Hitchins, who’s one of my favourite atheists, Carl Sagan (American astronomer) and Sam Harris (author and neuroscientist). FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us?
“I think my soulmate might be carbs”
DR: Always keep your knives sharp.

The Hobsons Bay City Council has prepared Amendment C113 to the Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme. The amendment seeks to correct a number of zoning, overlay and text anomalies to ensure the ongoing accuracy of the Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme. The majority of proposed changes are mapping anomalies which rezone Council land to Public Park and Recreation Zone (PPRZ) from different zones (typically General Residential Zone – GRZ1 and GRZ2). Rezoning these sites will provide a true indication of open space throughout the municipality. These and other identified anomalies currently misrepresent the scheme and need to be corrected to reflect the underlying use and purpose of land in the municipality. The land affected by the amendment is: Altona s A ,INDWOOD !VENUE !LTONA Altona Meadows s A (YGEA #OURT %VERINGHAM 2OAD %VERINGHAM 2OAD 2ESERVE !LTONA -EADOWS s A #LEMENT #OURT *& / "RIEN 2ESERVE !LTONA -EADOWS s A %DINA 'ROVE %DINA 'ROVE 2ESERVE !LTONA -EADOWS s 4RAFALGAR !VENUE 7OODYARD #OURT 2ESERVE !LTONA -EADOWS s 0OINT #OOK 2OAD /AKDENE 'ROVE 2ESERVE !LTONA -EADOWS Altona North s #HERRY !VENUE $UKE 3TREET 2ESERVE !LTONA .ORTH Brooklyn s 2OWAN !VENUE 2OWAN !VENUE 2ESERVE "ROOKLYN ,AVERTON s (ENDERSON 3TREET (ENDERSON 3TREET 2ESERVE ,AVERTON s %ATON 0ARADE $ICK -URDOCH 2ESERVE ,AVERTON s #ROPLEY #RESCENT #ROPLEY #RESCENT 2ESERVE ,AVERTON s 7HITTAKER !VENUE "EVERLEY !NTON 2ESERVE ,AVERTON s 7HITTAKER !VENUE 7HITTAKER !VENUE 2ESERVE ,AVERTON s *ENNINGS 3TREET -C#ORMACK 0ARK %AST ,AVERTON Newport s 'ARNSWORTHY 0LACE 7ILLIAMSTOWN *UNCTION 2ESERVE .EWPORT s 0ART -ASON 3TREET .EWPORT s 0OWER 3TREET 7ESTERN 0ORTION OF *ACKSON 2ESERVE .EWPORT s *OHN ,ISTON $RIVE !PHRASIA ,ANE 2ESERVE .EWPORT Seabrook s 3T !NTHONY #OURT AND 3HANE !VENUE 3T !NTHONY #OURT %AST 3EABROOK s 3T !NTHONY #OURT 3T !NTHONY #OURT 2ESERVE 7EST 3EABROOK Seaholme s A .OORDENE !VENUE 0ART .ORAH -C)NTYRE 2ESERVE 3EAHOLME South Kingsville s 6ERNON 3TREET 7ALKERS #ORNER 6ERNON 3TREET 2ESERVE 3OUTH +INGSVILLE Spotswood s A -ELBOURNE % ' 3MITH 2ESERVE 3POTSWOOD 7ILLIAMSTOWN s A #ROFTON $RIVE +INGSHOTT #LOSE 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s 1UEEN 3TREET 1UEEN 3TREET 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s #ASPIAN 4ERRACE INCLUDING LAND CONTAINING #ASPIAN 4ERRACE #ASPIAN 4ERRACE 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s -AGUIRE #RESCENT 4EAL #OURT 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s &ARRELL #OURT &ARRELL #OURT 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s 3ANDPIPER 0LACE 3ANDPIPER 0LACE !CCESSWAY 7ILLIAMSTOWN s 3MITH !VENUE 3MITH !VENUE 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s A -ERRETT $RIVE "ATES $RIVE 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s A -ERRETT $RIVE 0ROCTOR 3TREET 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s #ROFTON $RIVE #ROFTON $RIVE !CCESSWAY 7ILLIAMSTOWN s 4REGUTHA 2OAD 2ESERVE 7ILLIAMSTOWN s !NN 3TREET 7ILLIAMSTOWN AND !ITKEN 3TREET 7ILLIAMSTOWN You may inspect the amendment, any documents that support the amendment and the explanatory report about the amendment, free of charge, during office hours, at the following locations: Hobsons Bay City Council Civic Centre !LTONA ,IBRARY #IVIC 0ARADE 1UEEN 3TREET !LTONA 6)# !LTONA 6)#

SPORT Seagull bowlers deliver mayhem A bowling blitz from reigning premier Williamstown left the Taylors Lakes middle order and tail end in tatters as the Seagulls recorded a seven-wicket win in a Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association south-west group one-day game. With Taylors Lakes seemingly in control at 4-117 at Lionheart Reserve on Saturday, the Seagull bowlers sprung into action to take an incredible 6-5 in 25 minutes to have the home side all out for 122 in 36.5 overs. Chasing 123 for victory, Williamstown had little trouble claiming the win, reaching the target with 10 overs to spare. Patrick O’Malley (3-16), Brent McMinn (3-23) and Nathan Bratby (2-13) shone with the ball for the Seagulls. Wicketkeeper Brenton Hodges, who took two catches and played a part in a run out, backed it up with the bat by top-scoring with 35. Sitting fourth on the ladder, Williamstown is on track to play finals again this summer. The Seagulls will be keen to keep the momentum going when they square off with
Melton in a two-day game at Williamstown Cricket Ground starting on Saturday. Altona and Yarraville ceded ground to the sides in the top six with losses. Altona’s competitiveness against premiership contender Oakleigh was not rewarded as it went down by six runs in a thriller. Set a 195 target, the A’s fell short to finish on 9-188. Altona will face top-of-the-ladder Caulfield at Grant Reserve on Saturday. Yarraville was outplayed by premiership favourite Caulfield in an eight-wicket loss at Caulfield Park. The signs were bad for the Eagles when they were bowled out for just 129. English import Jack Potticary was a shining light for the Eagles with 43. Caulfield passed the target with 16 overs to spare. Yarraville will host second-last Taylors Lakes at Yarraville Oval on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson Nathan Bratby chimed in with two wickets for Williamstown. (Damjan Janevski)
Wolves pitcher strikes By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown Wolves import pitcher Dennis Neal would have had the Werribee Giants batters waking up in cold sweats on Sunday night. Neal’s domination on the mound helped kick-start the Wolves’ 2019 with a 3-1 win over the Giants at President’s Park in Baseball Victoria summer league division 2. The American threw a complete game, giving up just one run late in the ninth inning. Williamstown playing president Daniel Chircop lauded the performance. “All the credit goes to Dennis Neal,” Chircop said. “One unearned run and he didn’t look uncomfortable for a second. He was absolutely dominant.” Despite his pitch count approaching 120, Williamstown “never contemplated” taking Neal out of the game. A California native, Neal wanted to go all the way to ensure the Giants were kept at arm’s length and not expose the Wolves’ bullpen. He threw 12 strike-outs on the most potent offence in the league, with his curveball unplayable at times. “He was rolling, there was no action in the bullpen – it was his game to win or lose and he earned that,” Chircop said. “He didn’t falter for a second. He finished as strong as he started.” Williamstown put up three runs on the back of eight hits. The Wolves had a fairly even contribution in the batters box with Jayde Thorne, Justin Gourlay and Bill Millar each picking up two hits. Thorne has proven a valuable addition since crossing from the Newport Rams earlier in the season. “He had a couple of fantastic hits, a few really good at-bats,” Chircop said. “It’s what you’d expect from someone of his calibre and he brought it today.” Gourlay turned back the calendar with form akin to 2018. “He’s our best hitter by a country mile,” Chircop said. “When he has a big day out, we’re not surprised. He’s just a cut above the rest.” Millar’s strong showing was welcome after a shaky start to the season. “He’s had a slow start to the season, but looked as good as he ever has today,” Chircop said. “He was really comfortable in the box.” Despite being two and a half games outside the top four, Williamstown remains hopeful of reaching the finals. The only way the Wolves can achieve that is to win all their series, so the
Jayde Thorne has turned it on in the batters box since crossing to the Williamstown Wolves. (Shawn Smits)
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Happy New Year, I hope it is a good one for all of us. I want to start the year on a very positive note and say well done to the Hobsons Bay council, which came to the rescue of the National Jockey Trust charity cricket day and offered Williamstown Oval at a very modest rental charge. The charity T20 game is in its seventh year and has always been held in Caulfield at the local cricket ground. This year though, the council decided to jack the hire fee up to nearly $10,000. Yes, you read correctly. When the event started seven years ago $500 was considered enough, but it has been going up ever since. The jump this year was almost the death knell of the event. Luckily Hobsons Bay came to the rescue. Is there a more picturesque oval in Melbourne? It is a fun day but one with a serious mission, to raise funds to help out families of jockeys who could have their life and their livelihood taken away in a split second. As race caller Bryan Martin used to say, it is the only occupation where the ambulance follows you around while you do your work. ■ The event is Monday, January 21, from noon with a 1pm start for the T20 game. The jockeys’ team includes skipper Damien Oliver, Michelle Payne, Brett Prebble, Jamie Kah and Mark Zahra, while the All Stars boast Archie Thompson, Brendan Fevola, Matt Curmani, Stevie Payne and Gill McLachlan. There will be plenty of food and refreshments available, plus lots of other entertaining activities during the afternoon. ■ Yarraville Club Cricket Club finds itself in unfamiliar waters as 2019 begins, on the bottom of the VTCA Turner Shield ladder after a heavy loss to St Albans last weekend. It will be very interesting to see if this powerhouse can resurrect its season. In the local derby, Spotswood lost to Seddon and Sunshine United had a good win. In the subbies, Matt Dean has the hottest bat in the west, posting his second century of the season in Werribee’s win over Brighton. Adam Alifraco produced a terrific all round performance, scoring 58 and taking 2/13. Hoppers defeated Malvern and Williamstown took care of Taylors Lakes but Altona and Yarraville suffered losses. Special mention to Rhys Dodemaide who achieved a double hat-trick (all bowled) in Werribee’s 2nd XI game against Williamstown, finishing with figures of 5/22. Impressive.

remaining two games of the three-game series with Werribee will be pivotal. “We knew what we had to do coming into this series and the next series coming up against Newport,” Chircop said. “If we can win this series, it would really jump-start us into the back end of the season.”

Meanwhile, Newport Rams made a hot start to the new year with a 6-0 thrashing of Mulgrave Rebels at KC White Reserve on Sunday. The Rams are firmly entrenched in the top four and three wins back from top two Cheltenham Rustlers and Werribee.

Western Spirit shines with up-and-coming talent The future of female cricket in the west is on solid ground. Western Spirit under-17 representative team coach Candace Hulett pointed to her team’s results at the Cricket Victoria Youth Premier League as a strong indication of the potential. The Spirit had a superb tournament, winning five of its seven matches and narrowly missing out on the final. “In the past four or five years, we’ve only won one or two games for the whole tournament, so to only lose two this year was fantastic,” Hulett said. “The girls really played well as a team.” What excites Hulett most was the make-up of the team. All but four of the players who featured in this year’s tournament will return in a bid to go one better next summer. “I think there’s only four girls that go up an age group next year,” she said. “We’ll have the bulk of the team still together and some of the under-14s who are pushing up to the 17s next year will easily fill up the spots. The future is bright for the west.”
Western Spirit’s preparation for the competition was second to none. The elite under-17s in the west began training together back in June with the final squad announced in October. “To play as a team, we’ve been training as a team as well,” Hulett said. The emphasis was on getting the “one per centers” down pat. With the competition all limited overs games, the little things mattered and were crucial in the Spirit’s winning record. “Building partnerships, building pressure, backing up in the field – the one per centers – all those little things that tend to go unnoticed,” Hulett said. “They can make a big difference in a game and the girls did it really well.” Scarlett Saxon-Jones was Western Spirit’s most consistent performer. The all-rounder produced with bat and ball, blasting 184 runs at 30.67 and taking 11 wickets at 8.5. “Scarlett is probably one of the cleanest hitters I’ve seen,” Hulett said.
“She’s able to get on top of teams early on with her power. Even her bowling – she’s a very quick bowler. “She genuinely had quite a few girls jumping back because she’s such a big strong girl and quite tall, as well, so she gets good pace and bounce.” On the batting side, Sarah Jenkinson had a fantastic tournament, finishing with 129 runs at 32. Aged 14 with two more years at this level, Jenkinson has tremendous upside for the Spirit. “She was one of our go-to batters because she’s got all the shots and just plays smart cricket, which a lot of 14 year olds don’t – some just go out and swing the bat,” Hulett said. Lauren McGrath, with 10 wickets at 10, and Hannah Brne, with nine wickets at 6.6, finished in the top 10 for wickets in the tournament. Lance Jenkinson Scarlett Saxon-Jones was a star with bat and ball for the Western Spirit. (Shawn Smits)

Yarraville-Footscray kick-started the new year with an 86-67 beating of Whittlesea.
Cricket Footscray opener Dean Russ plays a sweep shot to a spinner on Saturday. (Damjan Janevski)
Bulldogs back and firing By Lance Jenkinson A veteran continued his dominance and a youngster emerged, as Footscray opened 2019 with a commanding 128-run one-day win over Kingston Hawthorn in Premier Cricket at Merv Hughes Oval on Saturday. The experience of Dean Russ was once again crucial for the Bulldogs. He smashed a third century of the summer, his 107 off 134 balls guiding his side to 4-266 off its 50 overs. The teenager turning heads for the Bulldogs was left-arm orthodox spinner Siddesh Dixit, who wreaked havoc with 5-30 off his maximum 10 overs to have Kingston Hawthorn all out for 138 in its run chase. Wins across all four grades were the perfect way to usher in the new year for the Bulldogs and coach Stan Nell. “Everybody came back in a positive mind and they worked really hard at training,” he said. “I was extremely pleased with their work during the week and the result that we got on the weekend.”
After starting the season on fire, Russ had a relatively quiet end to 2018. The opener proved it was just a blip as he dispatched the Kingston Hawthorn attack to all points of the compass. Russ has produced these kinds of match-winning knocks so often that Nell has run out of superlatives to describe them. “What more can I say about him?” Nell asked. “I think I’ve said everything that I could about him. I’ll let his performances speak for themselves.” It has been a transition summer for Footscray, which has blooded a lot of younger players into the first XI. Performances such as that of Dixit make the exercise worthwhile for the Bulldogs and show how bright the futures are for some of these pups. Dixit has been taken under the wing of Bulldogs captain Dylan Kight and is starting to emerge as a genuine spinning option. “He’s only 19 and he’s a terrific young player,” Nell said.
“He’s really aggressive on the field, which we love because we really want competitors. “He’s been terrific all year with the white ball and I think he’s going to be a very good white ball bowler. “He’s still young in terms of spin and has got five or six years of development ahead of him in terms of developing a repertoire of balls to bowl in the longer version of cricket. “I must give credit to Dylan Kight, who has been looking after him and mentoring him in his games in the ones.” The other keys for the Bulldogs were Matthew Underwood (46) and Travis Dean (68), with both featuring in 100-plus run partnerships with Russ. Hamish Winter-Irving was crucial with the new ball, taking 3-25 off 10 overs. Nine points out of the top eight, Footscray is still in with a chance of featuring in the finals. The Bulldogs will just about need to make every post a winner from now on, starting with a trip to rivals Essendon for a one-day game at Windy Hill on Saturday.
Seddon has won bragging rights over local rival Spotswood and moved into the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division top four. The Dockers were victorious over the Woodsmen by three wickets after chasing down the 165 target with nine balls to spare. Captain John Taylor was the match-winner for the Dockers with 88 not out, while Duleeka Thisakuttige provided good support with 47. Yarraville Club is bottom of the ladder after a 63-run loss to St Albans.
