Australians come together Community celebrations will be held in South Morang and Craigieburn on Thursday to mark Australia Day. Whittlesea will mark the occasion with a free evening concert on the lawn outside the council offices on Ferres Boulevard. These festivities will start at 6pm with local soul-funk band Brand New Bag. They will be followed by a performance from The Band Who Knew Too Much. The event will also feature children’s activities including a petting zoo and arts tent, a barbecue, food stalls and a fireworks display. The council’s Australia Day awards will be presented throughout the evening. Meanwhile, Hume residents will celebrate Australia Day at the council’s awards ceremony at the Hume Global Learning Centre, Central Park Avenue, Craigieburn, from 9am. Awards will be presented to the city’s citizen of the year, young citizen of the year and community event of the year. Mayor Drew Jessop said the awards recognise people who work to make Hume a better place. “There are many people in our community who take the time out of their busy lives to help and inspire others,” Cr Jessop said. “These awards recognise those who proudly display these qualities.” Hume Australia Day festivities will also feature a citizenship ceremony.

Break-ins ‘just not cricket’ By Laura Michell A spate of break-ins has left Whittlesea Cricket Club thousands of dollars out of pocket, and devastated members of the small club. Their building was broken into five times over a four-week period, causing extensive damage to the clubrooms. The most recent incident was on January 14 when the offenders punched holes in soft drink cans and sprayed them around the rooms. President Blair Meaney said the roller doors to the clubrooms were kicked in and the fire
12337298-DJ04-17 10048568-01
extinguishers removed from the walls, and also sprayed around the clubrooms. Cans of spray paint used for line-marking were stolen, with the offenders using them to tag the clubhouse and nearby roads. “They made a really good mess. It’s disappointing,” Mr Meaney said. “They stole all the alcohol out of the fridge the last couple of times.” Mr Meaney said the damage bill was estimated to be about $3000, plus money the club and Whittlesea council had outlaid trying to improve security at the clubrooms.
He said the committee recently purchased security cameras in a bid to halt the crime spree, but they feared it would not deter the offenders. The committee and players were devastated that their clubhouse was continually being targeted, he said. “It’s taking its toll on the committee and players,” Mr Meaney said. “We struggle for numbers as it is. The players are disappointed with the situation. “We can’t use the clubrooms. The canteen is down. We can’t run the club like this. “All our stuff is locked in other rooms … we
have nothing cold in the fridges. It is getting to the point of ridiculousness.” The cricket club was not the only club targeted on January 14 – Whittlesea Tennis Club also broken into. A post on the club’s Facebook page said members spent the next day cleaning up broken glass and cordial that had been sprayed everywhere. The break-ins are being investigated by police from the Whittlesea Crime Investigation Unit. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Destination Mernda hits the list By Laura Michell Mernda’s real estate boom is tipped to continue this year with the suburb making the Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s list of suburbs to watch in 2017. The REIV has compiled a list of the 10 suburbs it expects to perform well this year, with Mernda taking 10th place. Other suburbs include Hoppers Crossing, Fawkner, Ardeer and Montmorency. Chief executive Geoff White said Mernda had experienced moderate growth in 2016, with
house prices rising 6.5 per cent. The median house price is $444,000. “Infrastructure improvements, including the rail extension from South Morang, are likely to result in further growth in 2017,” he said. The $558 million Mernda rail extension was funded by the state government in last year’s budget. Work is expected to begin this year. The extension includes new stations at Mernda, South Morang’s Marymede Catholic College and Hawkstowe Parade. Harcourts’ Mill Park-South Morang director Daniel Taylor said buyers were turning to

Worms turn food waste into business You could be forgiven for driving past Circular Food’s colourful factory on the Hume Highway, not realising it’s home to one of the largest commercial worm farms in Australia. The Somerton company collects food waste from local cafes and the Melbourne Wholesale Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Market at Epping, converting scraps and leftovers into fertiliser using earthworms. Chief executive Steve Morriss said the company had 28 beds housing millions of worms. He said the company produced 12,000 litres of liquid fertiliser each month, and 28,000 litres of solid fertiliser every three months. Circular Food is working with the CSIRO in the hope of being able to boost production to 12,000 litres of liquid fertiliser each week. Mr Morriss said he started the company because he is passionate about sustainability. He said Circular Food is aiming to turn worm farming from a hobby into a commercial business. “We want to minimise the footprint on moving food waste and distributing fertiliser. “Our goal is for food waste to be turned into fertiliser,” he said. “Worm farming is an ancient process. People have always been aware of the benefits of earthworms. This is a new and innovative approach to providing low-cost fertiliser. “We are taking worm farming into the modern world. Our goal is to create a whole new industry.” The company also sells domestic worm farms, and it runs education sessions on Saturdays to teach people how to get the most out of their earth worms. The classes run from 10-11 am at 105 Hume Highway, Somerton. Booking are essential. Details: 9305 3324
be the top housing performers during this year. “Lower stock levels, record low interest rates and strong population growth will encourage buyer interest well into 2017,” he said. “Agents were already filtering listings for February, well ahead of the close of the 2016 year – a very positive sign for the first quarter of 2017. “House [prices] in Melbourne’s outer suburbs have grown steadily throughout 2016 and, given that days on the market for the outer suburbs are the lowest in the state – at 28 days – this interest is likely to continue in 2017.”
Pokies plan to grow with town Craigieburn will get an extra 20 gaming machines if the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation approves Highlands Hotel’s latest bid. The hotel, on the corner of Aitken and Grand boulevards, has applied for more poker machines to fund an extension of its gaming lounge, to remove its outdoor terrace and improve the venue’s facade. The application estimates the works will cost about $975,000. The hotel currently has 60 gaming machines, and is one of two venues in Craigieburn with gaming facilities. The nearby Craigieburn Sporting Club has 70 machines, while across Hume, there are 813 machines at 14 venues. A social and economic impact statement submitted to the commission that Highlands Hotel has experience, evidenced by a rise in patronage of its gaming lounge over the past four years. “This growth and popularity has prompted the need for the hotel to seek an increase of 20 (gaming machines) to meet the demands of its increasing catchment area,” it stated. “This proposal ensures the hotel grows with the area it services.” It submitted the extra machines would help create two full-time jobs and increase expenditure from $1.4 million to $1.6 million in the first 12 months. The hotel would donate an extra $100,000 to Hume council for community projects, it stated. In 2015-16, gamblers lost $106 million at Hume’s gaming venues, up from $104 million in 2014-15. The VCGLR will conduct a hearing on the group’s application at a later date.

New school year starts By Laura Michell Twins Ryan and Owen are counting down the days until they start school. The Epping boys will be among the prep year pupils experiencing their first day at St Mary of the Cross McKillop Primary School next Thursday. The five-year-olds said they are looking forward to starting their schooling. Next week, hundreds of new students will kickstart four new schools in Mernda, Epping and Craigieburn. Mernda Central P-12 College and Mernda Park, Harvest Home and Newbury primary schools welcome students from February 2. Whittlesea’s three new schools – Mernda Park and Harvest Home primary schools and Mernda Central P-12 College – were built as part of the state government’s $291 million public private partnership schools program, and will include spaces for community use. Mernda Central P-12 College, on Breadalbane Avenue, will open to students from prep-year 7. About 300 students are enrolled this year, but the school will accommodate more than 1200 students when complete. Yan Yean MP Danielle Green said the school would include a performing arts theatre, music room and rehearsal space, a commercial kitchen for hospitality and VET programs, and a learn-to-swim pool. “Mernda Central P-12 College will be more than just a great local school, it will provide a thriving local hub,” she said. Craigieburn’s Newbury Primary School, which was funded in the 2015-16 state budget, will welcome about 300 students next week. Principal Michelle Bromfield said she is looking forward to developing a school that involves people from the wider community.

Fines warrant pay-back call Hume and Whittlesea residents are among the worst in the state for not paying their fines. Latest data from the sheriff’s office reveals that in 2015-16, Hume residents had more than $107 million in outstanding fines – the second highest debt in the state. The sheriff tracked 28,170 people with 282,925 outstanding warrants, owing an average of $3811 each, mostly for traffic offences. Whittlesea residents owed close to $69 million, with 23,751 people responsible for 179,760 outstanding warrants. Casey took out the top spot, with its residents owing $137 million, while across the state, the number of infringements issued in 2015-16 fell 4.6 per cent. Long-term unpaid fines resulted in a seven per cent increase in the number of warrants issued to recover $1.8 billion in outstanding debts. Sheriff Brendan Facey said some people are not getting the message. “We want people to speak to us about their options before they are caught,” he said. “Fines can quickly escalate … you may be issued with a red-light infringement in January with a penalty of $389. By June, if you ignored your fine, the total penalty could be $576.60.” Mr Facey said sheriff’s officers had the authority to suspend licences, clamp wheels and seize the assets of people with outstanding warrants.

Islamic centre gets green light By Laura Michell An Islamic community centre will be built in Coolaroo after being given the green light by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). The three-storey centre will be built at 44-46 Kyabram Street and will include a place of worship, gymnasium, education centre, food and drink premises, a caretaker’s house and office. The centre will also house a radio station,
which will require a radio mast to be erected on-site. The property is currently used by Islamic Voice Radio Station. Last May, Hume council knocked back Australian Muslim Media’s application to build its centre, raising concerns about the scale of the radio mast and the impact of the new centre on traffic. The council ruled the development was inappropriate for the site, which is in a buffer area between industrial and residential zones.
In handing down their judgement on the application earlier this month, VCAT senior member Laurie Hewet and member Michael Deidun ruled the proposal would provide “a valuable community resource in a locality where the provision of local recreational and community facilities is encouraged”. Mr Hewet and Mr Deidun found that the proposal was well planned and made good use of the site, adding they were not persuaded it would create conflict between traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on Kyabram Road.
“The potential benefits provided by the proposed use and development … are therefore significant and weighty. In our view, they more than override any comparatively minor concern with the prospect of these uses being placed into a buffer location between resident and industrial zoned land,” the members said. Mr Hewet and Mr Deidun also ruled that no more than 460 people, or 250 people at certain times of the year, may be at the centre at the same time without written permission from the council.
Film night funds help around town Hundreds of families will flock to Craigieburn next month for the annual Highlands movie night. Organised by Highlands Residents Association, the open-air cinema will include a screening of Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie, as well as a barbecue, children’s activities and music. The movie night raises money for events run by the residents group, Craigieburn Scouts and local charities. Highlands Residents Group president Stuart Hodgson said the movie night, now in its fifth year, is very popular with the community. “The response from the community has been fantastic,” he said, It’s on Saturday, February 11, 7-10.30pm at North Shore Drive Craigieburn.

Lens zoom on litterbug hotspots By Laura Michell Litterbugs, watch out, Whittlesea council is installing cameras at rubbish dumping hotspots across the city. The council has joined forces with the state government to tackle Whittlesea’s problem, with illegally dumping costing ratepayers $1.6 million to clean up last year. The cameras and warning signs have been installed as part of the government’s Litter Hotspot program.
The program encourages community action to tackle litter in local areas, preventing it from polluting waterways and helping to create a cleaner, safer and more appealing environment overall. A spokesman said the council had struggled to keep on top of dumping issues, particularly at the sparsely populated locations of O’Herns, Epping and Bindts roads in Wollert. Each year, an average of 4700 tonnes of rubbish is dumped around the city,
contaminating the surrounding environment and potentially maiming local flora and fauna. The council began installing the cameras last year and will roll them out to more locations this year. “Since adopting the program, there have been a significant reduction in the number of illegal dumping incidents in the community,” the council spokesman said. “While fines have been issued to those caught illegally dumping, the ultimate aim is
to educate the community and prevent these issues from occurring.” Whittlesea residents can dispose of their rubbish through the council’s waste and recycling collections, and by using vouchers to access Hanson’s landfill at Wollert. There are also recycling hubs at Mernda, Epping and South Morang. A mobile pop-up transfer station, which will be travelling throughout the municipality to collect recyclables, is scheduled to be launched this year.
Food carnival hits fringe One of Australia’s biggest food truck carnivals will roll into Craigieburn next month to raise money to help sick children.

Organiser Danny Grant said he hopes the 12 planned food truck carnivals will raise between $150,000 and $200,000 for the hospital. “We attracted 50,000 people to our inaugural food truck carnival in Berwick in March and thought it would be awesome to be able to use these large crowds to help a worthy cause,” Mr Grant said. “At the same time, we are giving families the opportunity to enjoy Melbourne’s premium offering of food trucks and carnival entertainment, which isn’t normally available in the city’s outskirts.” The carnival will run for four days from

MY PLACE Ajani Wadood is manager of the new YMCA childcare centre at Mernda. She speaks with Laura Michell. What is your connection to Mernda? I am manager of the new YMCA Early Learning Centre in Mernda. I have been a kindergarten teacher in the area, which has given me a connection to the community and local families. Do you live in the area? I live near Wollert. Since moving here, I have been interested in getting to know our local community. How long have you worked in early childhood education? I have been in the early childhood field for about 10 years. I used to be a computer engineer when I was living in England.
After I gave birth to my first daughter, Mariyam, I was fascinated about all the little things she could do with her tiny mind, and changed my career to early childhood. I wanted to study child psychology, so I did my diploma and moved to Australia to complete a Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching. After being a kinder teacher, I only wanted to work with children in early childhood. The connection we make with children stays with us forever, and all the children that have been in my class have left a part of them in me. What do you enjoy about your work? Well firstly, I have my two daughters Mariyam (11) and Amani (6). Every child is different,
(Damjan Janevski)
Why did you choose the early childhood field?
and part of what I love about my job is that I get to help each one discover their own strengths and talents, and nurture those traits. Children just have this innocent vibe about them, their imagination and wonder at this world is amazing. Their simple state of mind is sometimes all you need to solve most of the problems in this world.
What can people expect from the new YMCA childcare centre at Mernda? We provide an all-inclusive educational approach, which is called the reggio emilia approach. This is a holistic approach for learning … the child is seen as a person, and respected. We are a community hub with
access to two maternal health nurses. Being on the same premises as a school enables us to create a smooth transition from kinder to school, which is better for the emotional and educational wellbeing of our children. There is everything from big rocks that children can climb and jump on, to bark to give children the sense of connection with nature.

Straw bales best for pain-free gardening As one lady in her 80s said: “It’s not the getting down to my vegie garden, it’s the getting up again that’s the hard part.” It’s true that as we get older, the planting, weeding, digging and even harvesting can get a bit beyond us. Downsizing to an apartment or joining a retirement community can also put a serious dent in our vegie garden aspirations. But there is a way our cherished home-grown vegies can co-exist with rickety knees, failing leg muscles and iffy backs, as well as limited garden space – a straw bale garden. Not only is a straw bale garden inexpensive, you can put it wherever you want and it’ll eventually turn into compost to feed next season’s garden – how’s that for recycling? Okay, so here’s the drill … once you’ve bought your bale(s): 1. Choose a sunny spot for permanent placement when it’s still dry (it gets mighty heavy once wet). If on grass, lay newspaper layers or cardboard beneath it to prevent weeds growing up through it. To avoid bending, you can place it on a knee-high surface – leaving about 30cm all around so that as the bale gradually decomposes, the “mess” can be easily swept into a container. 2. Position the bale so the narrow side showing cut straw ends is facing up – this allows better moisture penetration. 3. Condition the bale first. For the first three days, water it thoroughly so it stays damp. For the next six days, continue watering and add a liquid fertiliser. On day 10, it’s back to just watering until the temperature inside the bale (it gets really hot) has cooled down to external air temperature. Then it’s time to plant. 4. Choose smaller plants, such as herbs, lettuces, rocket, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries and cherry tomatoes – or flowers. Make a suitably sized hole in the bale, add in quality potting soil for extra nutrients and stability, and pop the seedling in. Fertilise every two to three weeks and don’t let the bale dry out. You’re done! Happy growing … happy knees and back … Carole Levy

15 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 24, 2017
SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
Plenty Valley’s winning import By Tara Murray For English import Luke Robinson the decision to come to Australia and play for Plenty Valley was an easy one. His Lincolnshire club, Lindum, and the Bats had formed a relationship in the past couple of seasons and Robinson was keen to keep it going. Dan Taylor and Pierce Morley-Barnes played with the Bats three summers ago, while Will Wright came out last season. Simon Bray and Brad Mitchell returned the favour by heading to England for a season each. “I thought I would keep it going,” Robinson said last week. “I spoke with Darren Callahan [Bats president] and a couple of weeks later we had it sorted out.” Robinson has settled well with Plenty Valley, averaging more than 50 with the bat. He is the only player in VSDCA north-south XI to have scored two centuries this season. “I feel like I’m in good form,” he said. “The two games I’ve made centuries in were very different. The second game, I struggled in 35-degree heat.” Robinson has also had an impact with the ball, taking 11 wickets. “I’ve been lucky to get a bowl,” he said. “I’m more of a batsman. I don’t usually take a lot of wickets. I just usually bowl towards the end of an innings and try to keep it tight.” His bowling highlight has been a hat-trick against St Bernards in a T20 match, not that Robinson or his teammates realised straight away.
“We needed something to happen to get back into the game,” he said. “It didn’t cross my mind until after the third wicket. “I realised but I don’t think anyone else did. There was a long pause between wickets. I was in the huddle when I realised and there was a lot of slapping on the head.” It’s not the first time Robinson has played in

Australia – he played with Blackburn South Cricket Club as an 18-year-old. He’s keen to return to Australia for a third season. “I always wanted to come back out for a second season,” he said, “When I get home, I would have been playing cricket for a full year. “I’ll take a month off when I get back to make sure I don’t get bored with cricket. “Then I’ll play for my club and hopefully come back and play for the Bats again. “If I can work out a visa and Plenty Valley are happy to have me back, I’ll return.” For now, he is intent on helping the Bats secure a grand final berth and hopefully a premiership. On Saturday, the Bats restricted Caulfield to 202. Stephen Tsonas was the best of the bowlers, taking three wickets.

SPORT Sights move higher as Craigieburn plans 40th birthday When Craigieburn Cricket Club started 40 years ago, the town was a much different place. It was more a village at the time, with housing developments having begun only 10 to 12 years beforehand. But there was enough interest to start a cricket team. There had been at least two earlier Craigieburn clubs: one around 1914-15, the other in the 1950s, both of them made up mostly of local farmers. And both had disbanded. Next month, February 18, the club will celebrate its 40th season with a reunion at its premises. All past players, supporters and committee members are being invited to
attend, with the club hoping to get as many people as possible returning. President Gerard Laffan, who joined the club in its third season, says it’s a lot different from the early days. “There weren’t any clubrooms so all the functions were held in people’s backyards. It was a great place for people to meet in a reasonably new community. “We played in the Gisborne association and our home ground was Victor Foster Reserve.” The club expanded and DS Aitken Reserve became its main home ground when a turf wicket was laid. The club also moved to what is now known as the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association.
It still plays in that competition, but Craigieburn’s top sides joined the Victorian Turf Cricket Association to keep the players from going elsewhere. Laffan said the club’s only first XI premiership in 2012-13 and its first women’s title the following season were the standout moments. Developing the club to provide pathways for players to compete at a higher level was something else they were proud of. “In the past 15 years we’ve had at least 15 players go on and play Premier Cricket and at least 10 have played sub-district. There’s so much diversity here and kids have the opportunity to play on

Plenty Valley is through to the finals of the Victorian Sub-district Cricket Association’s Craig Shield competition. The Bats went through the group matches of the under-15 competition undefeated, finishing on top of their pool with six wins. The semi-finals and preliminary finals will be played this week and the final the following week.
By Tara Murray After representing Victorian teams at the Australian Junior Championships for the last three years, Whittlesea’s Chloe Molloy can’t wait to step out on the basketball court again next year. Molloy will be part of an under-20 state side hoping to keep Victoria’s winning streak intact. Victorian teams have won the last six junior titles. Last year, Molloy was part of the Victorian Navy team that took home the gold. Many from that team will be back together for next year’s challenge. “I’m pretty excited about nationals,” she said. “It’s probably the greatest thing about basketball … you get to spend the whole week with people with the same interests. “It’s like a big sleepover, and you all want to bring home is gold at the end of it.” The championships will cap off a busy 12 months for Molloy, which has included completing year 12. She said juggling VCE with basketball was harder than she expected, but her school and basketball teams had been supportive. The 18-year-old started the year playing with the Women’s National Basketball League side Melbourne Boomers as a development player, and then played with the Nunawading Spectres in the South East Australian Basketball League. Now with her studies finished, Molloy is getting into training with the Boomers, where she is again a development player. “Last year, with so many injuries (for the Boomers), it worked my way and I got a few minutes on the court,” she said. “It’s been more difficult this year … because I’ve had exams, I was really focused on my education the past few months. “I’m getting back into it now, and got a couple of big months ahead of me.” The highlight of the year though, for Molloy, was being selected in the Australian Gems under-19 training squad. “It was cool and something I’ve wanted to do since I started playing basketball,” she said. “To be part of the training squad – and you know that you are up there with the top players in your age group – definitely boosted my confidence.” It won’t get an easier, or quieter, for Molloy – she will head to America for college. She recently signed her contract with Virginia Commonwealth University after agreeing to join the university earlier this year. “I agreed pretty early on and it was a bit of a relief,” she said. “America is the basketball capital of the world. “All my other friends were not sure if they would be going to uni … I had a pathway. “The past two to three years, I heard about it (international student exchanges) and thought that’s something I wanted to do.” The under-20 national championships will be held in Bendigo, starting February 12.
the MCG or at Etihad Stadium.” Laffan sees many opportunities for further growth. For a start, DS Aitken Reserve is being upgraded and Foster Oval is set to get a turf wicket. He says that, on field, they want to move up through the grades of VTCA while increasing the number of sides. “We want to continue to develop the players and we’d love to get a girls’ cricket side up and going; that’s a big focus of the club.” For more details about the reunion, contact Gary on 0419 557 704 or gary.dennis@dhl.com or Gerard on craigieburncc@gmail.com RSVP for the event by February 5.

Thriller of a win for Tullamarine By Tara Murray Tullamarine held its nerve to beat Keilor by the narrowest of margins in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s senior division. Tullamarine scored 187 and was bowled out with two balls remaining. Tullamarine started well and progressed to 4-149, with opener Tom Ven Den Berg scoring 53. Pushing for runs late in the innings, the side lost late wickets. The match went down to the final over, with Keilor bowled out with four balls remaining and a run short. Andrew Humphries was the best of the bowlers with 3-21. Greenvale Kangaroos remain in the top four after getting past Doutta Stars. Stars batted first, making 4-174 from their 40 overs. Tallan Wright took two wickets for the Kangaroos. The Kangaroos started well and a win never looked in doubt as they posted 6-183. Anthony Barton top scored with 57. Former Brisbane Lions start Jonathan Brown played for ladder leader Yarraville Club against Strathmore. Brown took a wicket and didn’t bat in the Clubbers’ win. In north-west A1, Westmeadows remains on top of the ladder after belting Altona Roosters. The Warriors’ bowlers had a field day, skittling the Roosters for 74. Tarique Jeffrey took five wickets and Chanaka Welegedara took three. The Warriors made the runs with ease and pushed on to make 9-156. Stephen McKay made 59.

Bundoora, Montmorency all set for a special day The clash between Bundoora United and Montmorency in round nine of the Diamond Valley Cricket Association’s Money Shield will take on extra significance this year. The sides will play in a standalone one-day match on Australia Day in what they hope will become an annual tradition between the clubs. United president Grant Flack said the idea of playing on Australia Day was something the club thought could attract more people to watch local cricket. “You look at football and you’ve got sides playing on ANZAC Day and Good Friday and they’ve had really good success with that,” he said. “We wanted to do something similar and get more people to the game – make it a special day. “We asked the competition and they agreed to our request to host the match on Australia Day.” When approached, Montmorency was keen to get involved, with Flack saying that as long as the two sides were in the same grade, they would look to play each other on Australia Day, alternating hosting duties. Local MP Colin Brooks and councillor Rick Garrotti will be in attendance and the national anthem will be played before the start of play. A medal will be awarded to the player adjudged best on ground and there will be post-game entertainment. Both teams will enter the match on the back of wins. United easily accounted for Whittlesea, narrowly missing out on an outright victory. Chasing 9-292, Whittlesea was bowled out for just 69, with only two players making double figures. Scott Barnett and Imesh Udayanga took three wickets each. Batting a second time, Whittlesea struggled just as much. 18 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 24, 2017

The top order failed and Whittlesea was in trouble at 5-20. A partnership of 39 settled the innings, but it didn’t last long, with another four wickets falling. Whittlesea finished 9-64, avoiding an outright loss by one wicket. Adrian Wilson took five wickets for United. Lalor Stars fell 22 runs short of victory against Montmorency. Chasing 9-303, the Stars finished on 9-282. Lower Plenty, Eltham, and Plenty Power also had wins. In the Barclay Shield, Epping slipped out of the top four with a loss against Rosanna. Chasing 207, Epping finished on 182. Old Paradians/St Francis snuck home against North Eltham Wanderers by two wickets. Chasing the small target of 103, the Wolves made 8-114. In other results, Bundoora defeated Riverside, Macleod was too good for Lower Eltham and Diamond Creek beat Research Eltham Collegians. Tara Murray
The Warriors sit 5.72 points clear of second placed St Francis de Sales with three two-day matches remaining before the finals. Craigieburn slipped to third with a loss to Pascoe Vale Hadfield, which is chasing a finals spot. Pascoe Vale Hadfield made 7-161 from its 40 overs, with David Garvin the best of the Craigieburn bowlers with 3-33. Not for the first time this season, the batsmen couldn’t get the job done for Craigieburn. The Eagles finished with 8-146, left to rue poor running between wickets. Captain-coach Ian Blanchett top scored with 26 before becoming the fourth Eagles player to be run out. Pascoe Vale Hadfield is fifth, just under four points behind the Eagles. In west A1, Jacana won its second match of the season by beating East Coburg. The Jaguars looked in trouble early – at 9-64, they were looking at an extremely early end to their innings. But No.8 Alfassy Mohamed (41no) and No.11 Ryan McCawley (35) put on a last-wicket partnership of 77 to push the score to a respectable 141. East Coburg looked to be cruising, and even at 6-89 seemed the likely winner. The side pushed the score to 6-101 before losing 4-6 to be bowled out for 107. Jack Ottaway took 5-27. Roxburgh Park Falcons suffered a big loss at the hands of Aberfeldie Park. The Falcons made 9-130 and Aberfeldie made 4-164 in reply.
