Jaxon is ready to have a wheely good time at the upcoming 2019 Victorian State Schools Spectacular. The Sunbury Heights Primary School pupil will be riding and doing all kinds of cool tricks on his BMX during the one-day event at Melbourne Arena, which showcases the best young talent in the state. Jaxon, 10, said he was excited to take part in the event for the first time. “I’m looking forward to riding the ramps and doing tricks,” he said. “I like going high and doing big tricks and the thrill of it all.” Jaxon has been riding BMX’s since he was four years-old. “I can do fast spins, 360s, 540s, truckdrivers, fakies and a lot of no footers and one footers,” he said. Jaxon’s dad Chris Philp said he was looking forward to watching his son perform on the big stage. “We’re very proud,” he said. “He’ll put on a spectacular for the spectacular.” The 2019 Victorian State Schools Spectacular will be held at Melbourne Arena for two shows on Saturday, September 14.

Glass bins rolled out By Jessica Micallef Public recycling bins for glass products will be installed in locations across the Macedon Ranges in the coming weeks, in response to the ongoing recycling crisis. And the council has urged residents to continue to separate glass from their kerbside recycling as it considers adding a fourth bin to household collection services. The council has endorsed plans to remove glass from mixed recycling household bin collections and investigate the introduction of a glass-only bin service for the municipality. Public recycling bins for glass products will be installed in major towns to assist residents in
removing glass from recycling bins. At its meeting last week, the council approved the allocation of $505,000 to temporarily cover the cost of sending recycling to landfill, increased staff and the installation of public glass recycling bins. Following the collapse of recycling group SKM on July 25, the council’s kerbside recycling was stored at Four Season’s Waste facility at Edgecombe Road, Kyneton. However, the facility only had the capacity to store about 14 days of material and as of August 10, all recycling has been directed to landfill. The council has now identified a recycling company which will process the area’s recycling, but it will not accept glass.
The council’s acting assets and operations director Anne-Louise Linder urged residents to continue to separate glass from their recycling. “Shards and small pieces of glass can become embedded in paper and cardboard in recycling bins and contaminate other recyclables,” she said. Residents can also drop off glass free of charge at the council’s transfer stations in Kyneton, Woodend and Romsey. About 650 Lancefield residents are currently taking part in a glass recycling trial. Those residents can continue to use their glass-only bins provided as part of the trials. The bins are collected monthly. Macedon Ranges mayor Jane Pearce said she
was looking forward to working with residents to manage waste and resource recovery. “We’ve taken actions to respond to the waste crisis and look at innovative solutions to the problem,” she said. “We’ve also taken progressive action to help our community respond. We want to ensure the cost of managing waste and resource recovery stabilises the community.” Residents will be contacted and informed of the new arrangements. The council will meet in late October to consider long-term options for recycling, including the possible introduction of an additional glass-only bin for the entire municipality.

People power topples tower bid By Jessica Micallef A planning permit to build a 33.3-metre telecommunications tower in Woodend has been rejected by Macedon Ranges council. In a unanimous decision, councillors last week refused the plan by Catalyst One to build a telecommunications facility at 59c High Street. The permit proposed erection of a 33.3-metre Optus monopole with associated equipment and removing native vegetation. The facility was proposed as part of the
Regional Rail Connectivity Project to improve mobile coverage for train passengers and Woodend residents and was partly funded by the state government. A petition, outlining concerns about the proposal and signed by about 300 residents, was presented to the council at its July meeting. Woodend resident Cassandra Simmons said she was thrilled that the council stood behind residents. “Sometimes it’s very hard when you have a corporation such as Optus, ploughing through Victoria and indeed Australia,” she said.
“There’s no doubt that this area needs to be kept up to date with connectivity, but their [Optus’] job is to not look after our beautiful little quaint, 130-year-old town. That’s what the council has done, they have looked after us.” Ms Simmons said the tower would have had a negative visual impact on Woodend. “Woodend is the gateway to the Macedon Ranges,” she said. “For people to be arriving here by train at our beautifully restored little railway station, it would be an awful shame if that [the pole] was the first thing they would see.”
Ms Simmons said the petition was started in May, prior to the Optus application being lodged with council. “It was a pre-emptive measure on our part,” she said. “There was a fairly overwhelming response. “Nobody has denied that there is a need for a telecommunications tower, however to place it in the heart of the town is not appropriate. “It can be placed one kilometre or two kilometres away and it will be just as effective and it will not be in amongst the charm of this town.”

Change of fortune reaps reward Daniel Fortune is the king of the garden. Mr Fortune, 44, has been shortlisted for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year award, as part of the Victorian Training Awards. “To be honest, it’s a little embarrassing,” Mr Fortune said. “It’s good recognition for the hard work I have put in over the three years of the apprenticeship.” Mr Fortune has been working at Sacred Heart College Kyneton for four years as one of the school’s groundskeepers, while studying at Bendigo TAFE.
“Originally when I started here, the job was advertised as an apprenticeship,” Mr Fortune said. “I did three years at Bendigo TAFE to get qualified in a certificate three in horticulture. It was a little bit daunting at first, being 40 years-old and going back to school. But I found it really interesting and they were fantastic educators. “It reinforced the skills and the knowledge that I had already.” Mr Fortune is hoping his achievement encourages men and women, regardless of age,
to pursue a university degree. “Me being as old as I am just proves you’re never too old to do it,” he said. “Hopefully it might convince a few people who aren’t really sure what they want to do to maybe follow through on something. Just give it a go.” Mr Fortune is one of three finalists for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year award. The winners will be announced on Friday, September 6, at the Crown Palladium.

Sunbury residents will soon be able to know the history of street names across the town. Hume council will install historical street signage across the municipality, including Sunbury. The new signs will incorporate the street name and a sentence about who or what the street is named after. At last week’s Hume council meeting, Cr Ann Potter said the historical street signs would be a great way for residents to learn about the past of their hometown. “Years ago, I was sent a document that outlined the background to various streets in Sunbury and why they were named and it was absolutely fascinating,” she said. “I think it would be great for our community to actually see signs up there, understanding why Evans Street is called Evans Street. “There are so many historical street names in Sunbury and it would be great for the community to understand the reason why they’re named. “I look forward to seeing the signs up on various street poles in the near future.” The historical signs will be located at both ends of a street. Cr Potter said council officers would contact historical societies throughout Hume, inviting them to submit requests for the historical information and which streets they think should have the new signs. All proposed historical signs will be presented to the council for approval.

Bushfire preparation
Residents are encouraged to spring-clean their properties ahead of the bushfire season. Macedon Ranges council is urging residents to keep grass no taller than 75 millimeters, remove dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark, store flammable liquids away from the house, keep gutters clean, store woodpiles away from the house, attach metal fly screens or window shutters over windows and plan and prepare a bushfire survival plan.

Patients now have access to a Hepatitis C outreach clinic at Kyneton District Health. The clinic opened its doors in July, in partnership with Austin Health and Cobaw Community Health. Located within the Kyneton hospital, the clinic has a gastroenterologist, clinical nurse consultant and clinical pharmacist. It also offers access to FibroScan – a device which provides an update on liver scarring. Kyneton District Health chief executive Maree Cuddihy said the clinic would boost community outreach services already available through the hospital. “It’s fantastic for our local community,” she said. “This new clinic allows patients to see their specialists locally, increasing access to treatment for those who need it.” Austin Health nurse consultant Susan Campfield said the clinic was a great service for Kyneton and surrounding towns. “We’ve already established clinics in West Heidelberg and Wallan and this new clinic in Kyneton will help us further enable community-based treatment,” she said. “Together with existing services available at Austin Hospital, we are working towards the World Health Organisation target to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2030.”

After 50 years working as a doctor, more than three decades of those in the Macedon Ranges, Dr Paul Carter is calling it a day. Born in the UK, Dr Carter trained at Guy’s Hospital in London, before continuing his postgraduate training at the Westminster Hospital. In 1976, he was offered a position as a pathology senior lecturer at Melbourne University. “I spent quite a few years in Melbourne but I decided I hadn’t come to Australia to live in suburbia,” he said. “I decided that I wanted to go live in the country. I moved up here and bought a property near Monegeetta and I have lived there since.” In 1986, Dr Carter joined a medical practice in Romsey where he discovered his passion for rural practice. “It was the involvement with the people,” he said. “I sort of expected the clinical stuff to be more exciting, but I hadn’t expected the involvement with the community. It felt like I had come home.” In 2009, Dr Carter established the Ochre Lancefield Country Practice with Dr Marina Kefford. “I’m very fond of the people of Lancefield and they had a pretty ordinary run in terms of medical centres,” he said. “They never had a permanent medical centre and they never had a pharmacy. Marina Kefford and I set this up as a permanent thing. As a result of that, we attracted a chemist. The community gave so much to me over the years and I wanted to help create a permanent service for them.” Dr Carter said he looked forward to meeting different patients each day but one young girl

Nod for new housing in Sunbury By Jessica Micallef A plan for a 21-lot subdivision in Sunbury has been approved by Hume council. During last Monday’s council meeting, councillors voted to grant a planning permit put forward by Urban Design Management. The plan proposes 21 lots, removing native vegetation and creating an access road at 160 Riddell Road. The lot sizes will range from 495 square metres to 1022 square metres. Seven large trees, one large scattered tree and five small scattered
trees are proposed for removal, which include yellow and red boxes and yellow gum trees. The application received six objections which raised concerns about the loss of vegetation and privacy, increased traffic and noise and devaluation of properties. Cr Jack Medcraft said the development would be a “bonus” for Sunbury. “The thing we have to understand, in Sunbury especially, is we are going to have a massive growth in population,” he said. “People want to come to Sunbury, they want to live the country lifestyle and they also want
to have the amenities. They want to have the land, they want to have a property they are proud of. “That property has also been used by vagrants. It has been a scene of criminal activity and this is not good for the people that live around this area. “I really do welcome the development. It will provide blocks bigger than normal. It will give people the opportunity to have a backyard where the kids can play football but they can also enjoy the trees that have been there for many years.”
Councillors Leigh Johnson and Jodi Jackson said the vegetation loss as a result of the development was concerning. “Once it’s lost you can never get it back,” Cr Johnson said. “To lose one hectare of native vegetation, I look at that and I think what shame. Once it’s lost you can never get it back.” Cr Jackson said: “We value our public open spaces in Hume. We have very high standards and we expect more … for open space because it is so valuable to our community and we do stand here to advocate for them.”
Gardens of goodness You’re invited to spend some thyme at an open edible garden this weekend. Twelve edible gardens will be open during the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival, showcasing some of the best examples of growing healthy, fresh food. Edible gardens organiser Nea Gyorffy said the gardens were a great source of inspiration for people interested in growing their own food. “We encourage visitors to learn and exchange ideas about growing sustainable, organic, edible plants,” she said. “Working edible gardens are not necessarily pretty but are all about maintaining productive rich soil, producing fresh food without using chemicals, reducing the cost of food but not compromising, and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. “It is incredibly satisfying when you can step out your door and pluck a juicy eggplant or zucchini from the garden and prepare it for your meal.”
“Growing your own food is now more important than ever for freshness, knowing its origin and keeping low food miles. “Visiting open edible gardens helps you find inspiration to get out there and grow your own food, be it in a very large vegetable garden, in a small garden or amongst the ornamentals. “It is a great way to help you learn how to improve your soil, ways of water saving [and] composting.” The open gardens are located in Taradale, Kyneton, Lauriston and Macedon and will be open between September 7-8.

Fireys push for bedroom alarms By Jessica Micallef Sunbury and Macedon Ranges residents are being urged to install interconnected smoke alarms in every bedroom, living area and hallway. The latest data from the CFA reveals less than 20 per cent of Victorians have smoke alarms in bedrooms. CFA data collected in the past decade revealed most residential fire fatalities and injuries occurred from blazes which started in
sleeping areas. CFA chief executive Steve Warrington said while most Victorians knew they needed to check and test their smoke alarms every month, most residents were not aware of where alarms should be located in the house. “CFA data shows that most causalities and injuries during home fires are a result of fires occurring in the bedroom,” he said. “It is incredibly concerning that research says only 16 per cent of people have smoke alarms in their bedrooms. It’s really important
that you have a smoke alarm in your bedroom, especially if you sleep with the door closed. “Your sense of smell decreases while you sleep and a working smoke alarm in the bedroom can mean the difference between life and death.” Metropolitan Fire Brigade acting chief executive Greg Leach said smoke alarms were the first line of defence in protection in the event of a fire. “Many of the house fires we attend occur overnight, often at a time when people are
asleep,” he said. “If you don’t have a smoke alarm in your bedroom and fire breaks out at the other end of the home, by the time the smoke gets into your bedroom, it may be too late. “It is for this reason that Victorian firefighters recommend interconnected smoke alarms to ensure that when any alarm activates, all smoke alarms will sound. “Having working smoke alarms throughout your home will give you a vital early warning sign and give you the best possible chance of survival.”
Blooming good weekend Welcome the change of season and blossoming plants with a spring flower show this weekend. The Kyneton Horticulture Spring Society Spring Flower Show, hosted by the 125-year-old Kyneton Horticulture Society is back for another year. Society president Nicholas Scott said the two-day spring show, now in its 124th year, is expected to attract more than 1000 visitors. “It’s one of the longest-running flower shows in Victoria,” he said. “It will officially be opened by the king and queen of the daffodil festival. There’ll be a real nice cross section of horticulture pursuits.” The show will highlight a range of daffodils, hellebores, cut flower shrubs, pot plants, cacti and succulents, floral art and vegetables. A range of plants, grown by Kyneton Horticulture Society members, will be available for sale. “It’s a good opportunity for people to maybe find a new favourite flower,” Mr Scott said.
“The event fits in nicely with the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival. It can be a bit of a garden weekend.” The Kyneton Horticulture Society Spring Flower Show will be on Saturday, September 7, between 1-5pm and Sunday, September 8, between 10am-4pm at the Watts Pavilion, Kyneton Showgrounds, 184-194 Mollison Street.

Benefits of honey PROVIDING EXCELLENT EYE CARE FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
bacteria, like golden staph, that can be found in wound dressings and on some hospital equipment.
It was referenced as food among the ancients in the bible – the land of “milk and honey” – and as ointment by warriors. But it’s not going to help you grow hair, beat hay fever or detox.
Not all honeys are created equal, however.
Indeed claims about it being a superfood in recent times are “marketing nonsense”, say researchers from the University of Technology in Sydney.

Since sugar’s bad press over its contribution to diabetes, obesity and tooth decay among other problems, some people have started replacing it with honey.

However, honey doesn’t automatically make a food any better, nutritionally. After all, it contains high amounts of sugar, as well.

On the other hand, it’s what that high amount of sugar does for honey’s medical attributes, that has generated a great deal of interest.

Honey, whether in silky gold, dark amber or pale butter form, has long been a crowd-pleaser.
Recent research has shown that the chemical make-up of the sugar in honey can be effective in soothing sore throats, treating Strep and working better than cough medicines to help promote a better night’s sleep in children with coughs. Another finding is that the blend has the potential to treat wounds and burns, and also stave off infectious
Medical grade honeys, such as manuka – derived from the activity of bees around the Leptospermum plant – are on the higher scale of potency. They’ve been shown to have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and, of course, bacteria-curbing attributes, which makes them effective in the relief of conditions like mouth ulcers, reflux and in promoting the healing of wounds. Manuka honey has a Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) which works rather like sun protection factor (SPF) in sunscreens. So, the higher the UMF, the higher the degree of antibacterial activity. Good quality manuka honey – that is one that comes with certification and is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration – can do wonders. It’s important that like all medicinal honeys, it not be diluted, according to nutritionist, Catherine Saxelby. She recommends either a spoonful for coughs or sore throats or smeared directly on abrasions. “… but it’s not something I’d be keen to eat, somehow,” she adds. Experts do, however, caution to never give any honey to children under 12 months old, as it can lead to poisoning [botulism]. Jenan Taylor (iStock)

Step up for your horse

David Fairclough with 11-year-old horse Henry. (Joe Mastroianni)
Are you and your horse biomechanically working together as a team? Dr David Fairclough from Ranges Animal Biomechanical Medicine poses this question and explains its significance.
S
G
“Just like humans, horses have problems with their musculoskeletal system, which often manifests itself in lameness, sore limbs, sore under saddle and reluctance or inability to carry out certain tasks while being ridden or lunged,” says Dr Fairclough.
H
“Osteopaths have been successfully treating humans for years in coping with pain and difficulty in movement. Riders with asymmetry and biomechanical compromise may create change through repeated riding, leading to biomechanical problems in the horse.”
amination and reatment or Horses and ogs ith usculos eletal s unction
Observing gait helps reveal which limb is causing the lameness. This is commonly noticed through an altered gait, such as short and irregular stride, muscle atrophy or painful responses to touch in normal daily routines and while being ridden.

“Observation, in particular of the head, gives clues to identify an affected body part, especially a limb. For example, if a front limb is affected, the head will often nod as the head is lifted in an attempt to offload weight when striking the ground. This problem can quite often be caused by the rider being stiff, with muscle and joint tightness and restricted movement themselves. “Once the affected area has been visually identified, orthopaedic examining procedures and confirmation with highly trained palpation, will lead to a biomechanical assessment and a treatment plan.”
DR DAVID FAIRCLOUGH
The core principle of animal biomechanical medicine (ABM) is the identification of biomechanical dysfunction anywhere in the body and then using the application of therapies, most often manual, to return the patient’s body to the best possible function. ABM treatment ranges from manipulating joints, through to a range of soft tissue and release techniques, to non-force neurological influencing techniques such as fascial and respiratory releases. Follow up rehabilitation exercise can help in recovery and taught to the horse’s owner. ABM is directed at conditions or symptom patterns that can be attributed to a biomechanical cause. If a problem cannot be attributed to such a cause, Dr Fairclough refers promptly to a veterinary surgeon.

Consultations take place at the horse owner’s property or at Dr To arrange an appointment, call Dr Fairclough on 0459 055 245 Fairclough’s Newham property.

Within a three-minute scoot in the car from Romsey Primary School and the Main Street bakery, and a few minutes’ stroll from Romsey Recreation Reserve, this well-presented abode sits on a massive, neat-as-a-pin 2810-square-metre block. It has three fitted bedrooms, each with the same floating floorboards as in other rooms, which share a sparkling bathroom with modern white vanity. The kitchen is a cracker. It has long benches serving both family and dining rooms each side, a terrific walk-in pantry, a stack of pot drawers, and stainless-steel 900mm cooker and dishwasher. The dining room, with split-system, has a wall of glass dressed in white timber blinds, and the family room (with another split-system) is very spacious. A large outdoor “room” is off the family area; it has glass sliders to the garden. Another outdoor room, with roller door, brick-paved flooring and a sink, is perfect as a games room. A couple of timber decks are open to the sunshine, and a freestanding pergola faces a huge stretch of lawn with various fenced areas. This country charmer also has a triple carport and the bonus of a lock-up double garage/workshop.

SPORT Bulldogs lose first final, but remain in the hunt
Ethan Minns was a standout for Gisborne in the midfield on Saturday. (Shawn Smits)
Gisborne was left to rue missed chances in its qualifying final loss to Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League. Hoping to win through to a semi-final match-up with Strathfieldsaye and a shot at a grand final spot, the Bulldogs are instead now one loss away from exiting the finals. The loss to Eaglehawk will be one the Bulldogs look back on and wonder ‘what might have been’. In the game until midway through the last quarter, the Bulldogs lost 13.11 (89)-7.9 (51). Bulldogs playing coach Clinton Young said it was a disappointing game. “We actually felt like it was a competitive game, but full credit to Eaglehawk,” he said. “We didn’t make the most of our opportunities around the ground or inside 50. “We played well in patches, but Eaglehawk were better when it mattered.” Young said they had dominated much of the first half, but couldn’t put the score on the board.
The second quarter was the most disappointing. For much of the quarter, the Bulldogs had an extra man on the field after an Eaglehawk player was sent off. But the Bulldogs couldn’t capitalise and the margin remained at the quarter-time difference of 12 points. Eaglehawk then kicked 10 goals to two in the second half to run away with the match. Young said Brad Bernacki and Pat McKenna [both three goals] were playing well up forward, but they weren’t able to capitalise enough on that. Bernacki and McKenna were two of just three Gisborne players to hit the scoreboard, which was never going to be enough. Ethan Minns was the Bulldogs’ best, along with Bernacki, McKenna and defender James Ferry. “We still played some good footy, but we didn’t have enough contributors,” Young said. It’s not all bad news for the Bulldogs,
who now face Golden Square in a knockout semi-final. Young said they would look to bounce back this week. “We are in this position for a reason,” he said. “We’ll lick our wounds and focus on this week. “We have to get back to our footy and there’s still a fair bit of footy to play out. “Hopefully we’ll get back to our best.” It was a tough day for the Bulldogs football sides, with all three losing qualifying finals. However, like the seniors, the reserves and under-18s have a second chance. In the A-grade netball, Gisborne lost to Kangaroo Flat, 50-35. Scores were level at half-time, before Eaglehawk shot away in the second half. For more on the netball, go to www. starweekly.com.au/sports Tara Murray
Jets power through for victory By Tara Murray The Sunbury Jets are the Big V men’s division 1 champions. Bringing a brand new team together this season, the Jets have built momentum throughout the season and at the weekend claimed the club’s first men’s championship since 2009. Just two players of last year’s side, and coach Ryan Addison, remained of last season’s team. Addison said they didn’t expect such success so quickly. “It’s awesome really,” he said. “Kris [Blicavs] and Arthur [Trousdell] have played a lot of basketball and you’ve got the guys coming up from youth league. “We knew we had a good team, but it was fairly obvious early in the season that they had to figure out how to play together. “They set the standard of what they wanted to achieve.” The Jets ended a 10-year men’s championship drought the hard way, needing to win game two and three of the grand final series against Warrandyte Venom on the road. The Venom won game one at Sunbury, 78-64. Addison said they never questioned that they could get the job done. “We had to believe in what we were doing and stick with the game plan,” he said. “They kept at it and they were able to get the stops and stuck to the plan. “Warrandyte are a good low-possession side and we knew it would be a hard slog.” It was an up and down performance by the Jets in game two on Saturday night. They led early in the first quarter, before slipping off the pace and trailing by seven points at the last break. Addison said they kept things simple heading into the last quarter. “We know they have big third quarters,” he said. “We focused on maintaining what we were doing in the third quarter and kept it close. “We were able to win it over in the fourth quarter with our extra depth. “We know how to grind out wins.” The Venom didn’t give up without a fight, having three free throws to level the scores in the last minute. They missed two and the Jets converted to seal the win 72-68. Ish Sanders top scored with 26 points, while Trousdell scored 18 points. Addison said while they were confident heading into game three on Sunday, they still had a task ahead of them.

“As well as we played last night [Saturday] we knew there was a lot of improvement to come,” he said. “We identified things before the game.” After an even first quarter, the Jets broke the game open, leading by 13 points at three-quarter time. They finished it off, winning 63-49. Addison said the game plan didn’t change. “I kept saying it was 0-0 at every break and we had to keep fighting, we had to keep getting stops. Our offence wasn’t spectacular, but the defence did the job.” Addison said it was pleasing to get the likes of Ben Jones and Gene Vocale on in the dying seconds, having not played any minutes in the other two games. “They have played a major role in what we did all year.” Sanders was named the grand final most valuable player. It could be the first of several
trophies for Sanders, who is in contention for the season MVP as well. Sanders averaged 23 points per game in the three grand final games. “When his offence is going, our offence is going,” Addison said. “He played the full 80 minutes this weekend and knocked around a bit and he stuck at it. “Ish is consistently the key … he averaged mid 20s across the series and made a lot of plays.” The championship tops off a number of tough years for the Jets’ men’s side. Since 2009, they‘ve made finals just once before this season. The next step could be a move up into the state championship division. “We’ll see what happens, but I think it would be good to have the men’s and women’s programs both in state champ to be one of the elite clubs in the area,” Addison said. 17 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

Rupertswood holds its nerve to advance to grand final After years of heartache, Rupertswood is through to a Riddell District Netball League A-grade grand final. The Sharks have played finals every year they’ve been in the competition, but have always struggled. Now their premiership dream is a step closer to reality, with the Sharks the first team through to the grand final after defeating Wallan 39-38 in a semi-final. The Sharks needed the whole 60 minutes to get the job done. Coach Di McCormack was in disbelief after the game. “I’m actually speechless,” she said. “It was a hard path there and Wallan took it to us at every turn. “It was a great battle, great contest and good on Wallan for making it so hard. “I couldn’t be prouder that we had composure when things weren’t going our way.” The Sharks were in front for most of the game but couldn’t push it to more than a three-goal margin. Each time they looked like they would get the margin out, the Magpies responded.
The Sharks were three goals ahead at three-quarter time but the Magpies shot the first three goals of the last quarter to level the scores. The two teams traded shots throughout the last quarter. Nerves were on show for both teams – the Sharks threw the ball away, while the Magpies missed crucial shots. The Sharks held on to come away with the win. McCormack threw out a number of different combinations, with all but one player taking to the court. She said it was a mixture of getting the right combinations and making sure they had some fresh legs. “I made a fair few changes and I think the combos worked when I did them. “I don’t think anyone played a bad game, they all played for each other.” McCormack said it was a somewhat nervous performance from the side, but the players were able to stay composed when they needed too. The Sharks’ shooters held their nerve,
missing just one shot for the day. Jade O’Shannessy finished with 27 goals. McCormack said she was impressed with how O’Shannessy stood up under the pressure. In defence, it was Matilda Elliot who was the standout. All three circle defenders, Elliot, Clare Johnson and 15-year-old Grace Markovic did the job when they were on the court. “We did a lot of good work over the ball, we had some match-ups,” McCormack said. The Sharks will now get the weekend off, before facing Wallan or Macedon in the grand final the following Sunday. It was a good day for the Sharks with their B-grade and under-19 teams also winning through to the grand final. Their C-grade side lost. In the other A-grade semi final, Macedon beat Romsey 46-42.

Sharks’ triple threat By Tara Murray Rupertswood couldn’t have asked for a better day in the Riddell District Football League. All three Sharks sides performed strongly and won through to grand final day. The Sharks under-19s got the job done first, keeping Woodend-Hesket goalless. The reserves then upset a previously undefeated Wallan side. The seniors finished it off with a come-from-behind win against Diggers Rest. Sharks senior coach Nick Ash said it’s an amazing feeling to have all three football sides into the grand final. “For us as a club to have three sides in is massive,” he said. “The 19s have been sitting on top all year and been hunted all year. There’s 10 or 12 blokes who have played for the seniors throughout the year. “You try and build to get as many guys as possible through the senior side and when you get to these finals, it doesn’t matter what grade you’re playing in, you can do the job. “We had a real hunger there in the reserves.
“As a coach, I’m happy with three sides into the grand final.” Ash said there was a bit of pressure on the senior side. They did it the hard way, trailing by 11 points at three-quarter time. The Sharks kicked six goals to none in the final quarter to come away with the 13.10 (88)-9.8 (62). While the Sharks had the wind in the last quarter, Ash said their never-say-die attitude was the difference. “In previous years I don’t think the belief was there. They thought they had it, but the full belief wasn’t there. “Something had changed [this season] and I couldn’t be prouder as a coach. “Diggers are a really good side, they are the benchmark and they’ve been there and done that. “They got the ball down in their end early in the last quarter and were looking to score. “Some sides might have said that they have this, they’ve got the momentum. “We always knew the longer it went the
18 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 3, 2019
harder we worked, we worked hard and ran it out to the end.” Billy Cannolo kicked three goals for the Sharks in his return from VFL duties. Ash said it was good to have someone of Cannolo’s class back. Dean Putt was named best on ground for the second week in a row. Ash said it makes a big difference having Putt fit at this time of the year. “Dean Putt in the ruck was huge,” he said. “The last couple of years he’s been underdone rucking in the finals series. “We’ve managed him really well and it’s showing with the results out there.” Other standouts for the Sharks were Sean Hetherington, Kayne Murphy, Dylan Podolczak, Jordan Tentonello and Josh Ferraro. The Sharks are through without any injuries. Ash said they know the hard work is only starting. They will face either Diggers Rest or Wallan in the grand final next Sunday. In the other semi-final, Wallan defeated Romsey 12.9 (81)-6.10 (46).
Sunbury Lions coach Adam Boldiston didn’t mince his words after the Lions’ Ballarat Netball League qualifying final loss to North Ballarat City. Boldiston was less than impressed by his side’s performance – its lowest score in his time at the club. The Lions were well and truly in the match until late, losing 36-31. Boldiston said the match between the two best teams in the competition didn’t reflect their standings. “It was trying conditions, but both teams were scrappy and it was terrible,” he said. “Both teams had patches of inconsistency and then went on runs. “I haven’t seen an A-grade game where we’ve scored under 40 goals and we scored 31.” Boldiston was most frustrated with the side giving up a three goal three-quarter time lead. He said the players felt like everything was rushed on court, but from courtside it felt different. Boldiston said he thought nerves may have played a part, with a couple of players playing their first A-grade final. The Lions were also without goal shooter Amanda Cusack. “It really hurt not having her,” Boldiston said of Cusack. “She has strength and different movement. She would have given us a different option in attack.” In Cusack’s absence, Ruth Smith top scored with 16 goals from 19 attempts. The Lions live to fight another day, but will have to do it the hard way to make the grand final. They face Lake Wendouree in a knockout semi final this weekend. Boldiston said there was a silver lining to having to play every week throughout finals if they’re to make the grand final. “We would have liked to get straight through, but it doesn’t faze us having to play every weekend. “We can be a bit scrappy off a bye. “It will also give Suzi Johnson the opportunity to get some more court time coming back from a broken ankle.” The Lions C-grade team lost their qualifying final, while their B-grade and under-19s won their elimination finals.
