Mr James Ginnane in the 2017 ANZAC Day parade in Bacchus Marsh. By Lachlan Ellis
Vale James Ginnane Bacchus Marsh’s last WWII veteran has sadly passed away, survived by three of his four children. James Ginnane joined the Australian Imperial Force as a linesman during the Second World War and passed away peacefully on 6 October this year. He was only 16 years old when he applied to join the military, turning 17 shortly before he was accepted. Mr Ginnane’s Statement of Service shows four separate deployments – King River in the Northern Territory, the Torres Strait Islands, Morotai in Indonesia, and Japan, from December 1942 until February 1947. One of Mr Ginnane’s sons, John, said his father was a hard worker who did his best to help everyone around him. “He wasn’t scared of work. He worked at the Lifeguard milk factory, he worked at Timbrock where they made hardwood as a painter,” Mr Ginnane told the Moorabool News.
“Mum and Dad were both very respected, they did a lot of voluntary work in their later years. Dad made friends wherever he went, I don’t think he ever had an enemy.” In Japan, Mr Ginnane volunteered to help with recovery efforts in Hiroshima after the war, joining the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF). “The Japanese were so thankful. They couldn’t believe that these people they’d been fighting were over there helping clean up. They gave each of the soldiers that were helping them a declaration of surrender written on silk,” John said. James Ginnane earned six honours: the Defence Medal, the War Medal 1939-45, the Australia Service Medal 1939-45, the Australian Service Medal 1945-75 with Clasp Japan, the Australian Defence Medal, and the Returned from Active Service Badge. In August 2020, Mr Ginnane also received the Commemorative Medallion, which marked the 75th anniversary of Japan’s surrender. He joined the Bacchus Marsh RSL on 20 March 1947, which son John says was “Dad’s second family”.

Member of
Bruce Lawton from the Bacchus Marsh RSL said Mr Ginnane was a beloved member of the community. “He was a real gentleman, a really lovely guy. He and his wife, if they ever went anywhere in Bacchus Marsh, they went together on their mobile scooters,” he said. “If his family couldn’t find him, they’d always come here to the RSL, and he’d be here. He didn’t hold a top position in the RSL, but he was always so supportive of everything we did here. “At his funeral, they made Cherrison and I feel like part of the family.” After retiring, James and his wife Marie travelled around Australia, then arranged a trip to Gallipoli to visit the war memorials there. The Ginnane family are passionate Richmond fans – John says he “had a Richmond jumper on from the time I was born”, and the thrill of the 1967 Grand Final win he shared with his dad was one of his fondest memories. James Ginnane was 96 years old, and was a beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great great grandfather.

Iconic tree storm victim A massive shady pin oak tree in Ballan has been removed. Moorabool Shire Council confirmed whilst it was very sad to see the pin oak being removed, it was too dangerous to leave. "The tree split out yesterday (Thursday 4 Nov) afternoon with the branch union full of rot, and there was a split in the branch hanging over the rotunda," a spokesperson told the Moorabool News. "Our arborist had to make the call to remove the tree due to concerns of public safety and infrastructure issues." It is believed the damaged occurred after last week’s storm. The tree was situated on the corner of Fisken and Inglis Streets at the A.A. McLean reserve.

The Valley, ‘through their eyes’ By Lachlan Ellis A new book takes readers through over half a century of history, and the remarkable restoration works that have made the Rowsley Valley the beautiful farming area it is today. Through Their Eyes, the story of the reclamation of the Rowsley Valley is a collaboration between locals Graham Simpson, Jeanette McGonegal, Alan Morton, and Judy Douglas. It was printed locally by What Knots in Bacchus Marsh. The book includes personal accounts from those who worked professionally and voluntarily on projects in the valley, documentation of these projects, and stories from those who have called the valley home. Historical and personal photos show how the valley has evolved over more than 70 years, thanks to the work of many people. Mr Simpson has witnessed the evolution of the valley’s
landscape firsthand since the 1950s, and said it was important to chronicle the hard work that had taken place. “So much work has been done by so many people, I wanted to see it documented and for those people to get the recognition they deserve,” Mr Simpson said. Mr Morton said his connections to the local Landcare Group had helped find records and photos of the restoration works that had taken place over decades. “Graham Simpson was really the driver of the whole thing. He realises what economic benefit he’s had, because of work done by various government agencies such as the Soil Conservation Authority, then subsequently, Grow West, as well as Melbourne Water,” he told the Moorabool News. “Like Graham, I’ve had a connection with Landcare and Grow West since the early days. We’ve had a fair bit of onground experience, to give us a good feel for how the story
really evolved. “There’s some great stories from individuals who lived in the valley, there’s also one from the first Chairman of Grow West, a couple of the project officers, and the Simpson family. We think it’s a pretty good record of all the parties involved,” he said. Before the works, the hillsides of Rowsley Valley were nearly bald, overrun by rabbits and weeds. The transformation that has taken place since then is obvious, and a testament to how communities, governments and businesses can solve problems when they band together to tackle them head-on. Copies of Through Their Eyes, the story of the reclamation of the Rowsley Valley are available for $25 each from the Bacchus Marsh Newsagency and What Knots.

STORM AND FLOOD
BULLETIN AN UPDATE FROM MOORABOOL SHIRE COUNCIL Online Community Sessions Council recently held two online sessions alongside BRV for storm impacted residents in Blackwood, Korweinguboora and surrounds. Thank you to the residents who attended these sessions and gave their feedback. Info sheets answering the questions brought up in those sessions will be sent out to attendees and the wider storm impacted community soon. Fire Tracks DELWP have opened 540Km of tracks on public and Crown land. In total there are 1500Km, approximately 33% of tracks have been cleared. This is constantly changing; please refer to DELWP for the most recent update. All official fire access tracks on Council land, which are in the Municipal Fire Management Plan, have been cleared for emergency vehicle access. If you would like to report a Council managed fire track for inspection, please contact Council on 03 5366 7100. Roadside clean-up Council’s roadside debris clean-up following the storm has now reached 93.51%. Our crew are now grading those roads where clean-up occurred, and this should be complete within the next week. A second round of tree inspections has commenced to revisit roads impacted by the storm and identify trees that may not have fallen in the initial storm but are now at risk of failure or impacting on the essential road asset. Arborist Reports are being prepared and necessary works are being undertaken to remove the roadside risk. Storm Community Newsletter Further information on Storm Recovery in the Moorabool Shire is distributed regularly via Council’s Storm Community Newsletter. If you don’t yet receive this and would like to be added to the mailing list, call Council’s Storm Recovery Number on 03 5366 1323.
This regular bulletin provides recovery updates following the June 2021 storms and floods. Bushfire Recovery Victoria proudly works in partnership with council and the local community to support recovery.
REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSING SOON
RESIDENTIAL STORM AND FLOOD CLEAN-UP PROGRAM If your residential property was damaged or made unsafe by the storm and floods that happened on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 June, you may be eligible for the Residential Storm and Flood Clean-up program. The free program covers the demolition and removal of damaged structures or the dismantling of hazardous trees threatening residents, work crews and structures on eligible residential properties. Registrations are closing at 11.59pm on Sunday 31 October 2021. Register now by calling 1800 560 760 0r online at brv.vic.gov.au/cleanup The cut-off date is for new registrations only – it does not affect those who are already registered and are waiting for a call-back, site assessment or works to begin. We’re here to help.
PARKS VICTORIA UPDATE As the days grow warmer and spring wildflowers start to bloom across our landscape, Parks Victoria is encouraging visitors to prioritise their safety, respect nature and rangers who are reopening key sites across Lerderderg State Park, Macedon Regional Park and Hepburn Regional Park. Local rangers have cleared trees from more than 100-kilometres of roads, walking trails and picnic grounds, with nearly all impacted sites at Lerderderg State Park now open. Similarly, popular visitor sites at Macedon Regional Park, such as Camels Hump and the Days and Sanatorium Picnic Grounds, have reopened. Final hazard works at Coliban Scenic Reserve (Trentham Falls) are expected to be complete very soon. As staff continue state-wide clearing of vehicle and fire access tracks and fuel breaks before summer, visitors are asked to refer to the Parks Victoria website for updated information. Please stay on the tracks and refrain from removing any fallen wood, as rangers work to get the balance between clearing fallen timber and retention right. Much of the timber will become critical habitat and shelter for the diverse flora and fauna in the region. As it decays, it will also provide food resources and erosion control, and recycle nutrients in the ecosystem. parks.vic.gov.au
DISASTER RESILIENCE FOR BUSINESS Did you know that most disaster preparation is the same regardless of what the situation is? It might seem hard but preparing your business for disaster is easier than you think. A disaster recovery plan will enable you to adapt more quickly to change so you can minimise the risk of disruption to your business. Make sure to share your plan with your staff so they know what to do. The more you know about what could disrupt your business, the more you can do to prevent it. Visit business.vic.gov.au and search Disaster Resilience for Business to get the guidance and support you need to prepare your business for disasters.

Lone walk for pilgrim A Mount Egerton man decided that COVID restrictions wouldn’t deprive him of an annual walking pilgrimage for the second year running, devising an alternate route. Anthony Bailey was so determined to take part in the Christus Rex pilgrimage – which on a regular year goes from Ballarat to Bendigo – that he planned his own route, and walked it alone. Normally around 600 pilgrims make the journey from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ballarat to Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo, walking 90 kilometres over three days. Throughout Friday, the Pilgrims walk 30 km to the town of Smeaton. On Saturday, the Pilgrims continue 15 km to the village of Campbelltown, where the Votive Mass of Our Lady Help of Christians is celebrated at midday in a picturesque outdoor setting. The Pilgrims then walk a further 20 km to the town of Newstead. On Sunday, the Pilgrims are transported to Lockwood, from where they walk the remaining 20 km to Sacred Heart Cathedral Bendigo. Instead, Mr Bailey walked a route east of Ballarat which began and ended with a church visit, to keep the religious theme of the walk. He visited St Patrick’s in Gordon, St Brigid’s in Ballan, St Michael’s in Bungaree, St Michael’s in Springbank, St Brendan’s in Dunnstown, and finished his pilgrimage at St Columba’s in Ballarat North. For the majority of the journey, he walked alone, though for some of the way he had his four-monthold border terrier Bertie by his side. In total, Mr Bailey estimates he walked 74 kilometres, just 16 shy of the regular 90 kilometres Ballarat to Bendigo pilgrimage, for an average of around 24 kilometres a day. Mr Bailey said he hoped with the gradual lowering of restrictions, the Christus Rex pilgrimage will be able to resume as normal in 2022. “It’s been a fixed event for 25 years and has inspired at least one other major pilgrimage in England. You could say it’s conducive to both physical and spiritual health,” he said.
Community BBQ for storm recovery Moorabool Shire Council’s Storm Recovery Team is hosting a roving BBQ this month, to support communities affected by the 28 October storm. A BBQ van will travel to Blakeville, Dales Creek and Blackwood on Wednesday 17 November, and Korweinguboora, Bolwarrah and Gordon on Thursday 25 November. Locals can grab a free snag and connect with fellow residents, as well as Council’s Storm Team. The BBQ van will be at the intersection of George & Liliburne Lane from 9:30 – 11:30 am, at the water tanks on the corner of Acacia & Dales Creek Avenue from 12 – 2 pm, and at the Blackwood War Memorial from 2:30 – 4:30 pm, on 17 November. On 25 November it will visit Korweinguboora Reserve from 9:30 – 11:30 am, Moorabool Reservoir Picnic Ground from 12 – 2 pm, and Gordon Reserve from 2:30 – 4:30 pm.

4700 … and counting By Lachlan Ellis A Moorabool woman has made over 4700 covid face masks for the community, for free, and she doesn’t plan to stop any time soon. Karen Pinder from Bacchus Marsh started making the masks back in June 2020, and said her goal was to just help out during these difficult times. “I decided to make my free masks because people were finding it hard to get them, and if they did find any, they were too expensive. Any pandemic should be a time for us all to come together and help each other wherever we can, especially as so many were, and still are, struggling in so many different ways,” Ms Pinder told the Moorabool News. “Most of the community have been so appreciative and thankful, with many giving me donations of fabrics and money to help me keep making my masks. It makes my day when people send me pics of themselves and their children wearing my masks.” Though Ms Pinder has received many messages of thanks for her generosity, unfortunately she’s received some unkind comments too. “I have had a few negative and nasty comments that did get to me at one stage, but now I don't allow them any of my time, I block them out. I don't tell people to wear a mask, I just offer them for free to anyone who wants one. I'll try to keep making them as long as I can,” she said. Ms Pinder makes masks in a range of sizes, from large and regular adult to teen and child sizes, in a variety of different colours and patterns. Anyone who wants one of her masks can message her on Facebook or on her mobile – 0411 145 046.

Dear Editor, A huge thankyou to all the dedicated POWERCOR crews who worked so long and hard in repairing downed power lines over the past week. The two crews that reconnected our downed power line, due to a fallen tree, came from Shepparton and Bacchus Marsh. The Shepparton crew had been working up to 15 hours a day for 3 days. These POWERCOR workers are very professional and deserve our highest praise. Rick Dickson Maddingley

Purple bin to collect glass By Lachlan Ellis Looking more like a scene from the Wiggles, there is another coloured bin being added to the growing yellow, red and green bin collection that already adorn residential homes, this one will be for glass recycling…and it’s purple. There are 13 councils who have them already, with Moorabool Shire Council on the waiting list for the new purple glass recycling bin, which all Victorian councils will adopt by 2027. Under the new four-bin system, glass will no longer belong in the yellow (recycling) bin, instead going into the new purple bin. Food scraps will also be allowed in green (waste) bins by 2030, and a new waste authority, Recycling Victoria, will be established to regulate the state’s waste and recycling sector from 1 July 2022. When mixed with other recyclable materials in a yellow recycling bin, glass can shatter and contaminate valuable and easily recycled materials, such as paper and cardboard. Moorabool Council CEO, Derek Madden, said Moorabool was in the process of planning for the new recycling system. “Council is currently undertaking a cost modelling exercise to determine the most costfriendly and logistically efficient service delivery method for the four stream waste services (glass, food organics & garden organics, recycling, and landfill). New services may be kerbside collections or drop off communal services – this is yet to be determined,” Mr Madden told the Moorabool News. “The timing of the new service’s roll out will depend on the outcomes of the cost modelling, availability of processing facilities, etc. We have nominated 2027 for roll out of the glass bin as per our kerbside transition plan but, may be sooner depending on these outcomes,” he said. In June this year, $127 million was made available by the State Government for councils to buy new bins, improve drop-off facilities, and put infrastructure in place to facilitate the reform. The funding is also dedicated to improving drop off facilities for the collection of food organics, garden organics, and glass. Victorian Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio, said the new system would greatly improve recycling efforts. “By collecting glass separately, we can make sure more of it is effectively recycled – with jars and bottles transformed multiple times into multiple products,” Ms D’Ambrosio said. Council’s ‘2030 Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy’ is also in the works, with a draft to be available for public comment “later this year or early next year”. The new state-wide measures are expected to divert 650,000 tonnes of organic waste away from landfill, and boost Victoria’s economy by up to $6.7 billion by 2030, creating almost 4,000 new jobs.

Kindergartens across the Melton Electorate are set to receive more than $1.3 million in State Government funding, to be invested in new programs, supports and extra staffing. State Member for Melton Steve McGhie announced the investment into 36 kindergartens across the electorate, including eight in Moorabool, under the School Readiness Funding initiative. “We are making sure children in the Melton Electorate have the supports they need for the education they deserve ─ and this funding will help our local kinders best prepare our children for school,” Mr McGhie said. Mary Murphy is Director of Bacchus Marsh Childcare & Kindergarten Centre, and said while applications still needed to be organised for the 2022 funding, the extra resources would be vital for local kinder kids. “The whole point of the School Readiness Fund is not about teaching children how to unwrap their lunches and that sort of thing – it’s about the holistic development of the child, so that they’re socially and emotionally ready to go to school,” Ms Murphy told the Moorabool News. “I think it’s very important. It gives all services an opportunity to access and spend funds in relevant places that perhaps they couldn’t afford to do otherwise. It enables opportunities, resources and professional development that might not otherwise be possible.” Among the Moorabool kindergartens to benefit are Maddingley Montessori Centre, Story House Early Learning Telford Park, Aussie Kindies Early Learning Bacchus Marsh, Darley Early Years Hub, Bacchus Marsh Childcare & Kindergarten Centre, Pentland Childcare & Kindergarten Centre, Bacchus Marsh Montessori Preschool, and Young Street Kindergarten. The Melton Electorate kinders are just a fraction of the more than 2,500 across Victoria receiving a total of $53.9 million for 2022, as part of the State Government’s $160 million initiative. The initiative aims to support the growth communication, social and emotional wellbeing skills, as well as improving access and inclusion. There is also a strong emphasis on addressing educational disadvantage, and services will be funded according to the needs of their children, with literacy, language, and speech a few of the subjects in focus.
New sessions hit the airwaves
Moorabool Shire Council is hosting another series of online sessions regarding the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project (WVTNP), to better empower and inform the community. The first of three sessions for this year will be held this Thursday 11 November, beginning at 6 pm. AusNet Services, which will construct and operate the WVTNP, is preparing an Environment Effects Statement (EES) as part of the planning process – the community session aims to update the community and explain what an EES is. Presenting at the community session will be Jack Krohn, Senior Impact Assessor at the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), who also presented at last September’s session. Two further sessions are planned for later in November as well as in December, with more information on dates and presenters to be made available in due course. To register for the session, submit a question, or suggest ideas for a session, visit www. moorabool.engagementhub.com.au and click ‘Western Victoria Transmission Network Project’ under ‘Current Projects’. Last year, Council hosted four online community sessions in relation to the WVTNP in September, October, and December.

Police on lookout for illegal mobility devices
Victoria Police have noticed an increase in e-scooter and e-skateboard injuries and have sent a reminder to the community; it is illegal to use them outside private land.

New quad bike rules roll in
New safety standards for quad bikes are now in effect, aimed at lowering the high death toll. As of October 11, it is illegal to sell a new quad bike in Australia unless it has been fitted with an operator protection device (OPD). They also require warning stickers about the degree of slope at which they will overturn, with a penalty of up to $500,000 for selling a non-compliant quad bike. Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) President, Emma Germano, said quad bike rollovers are a leading cause of trauma and death on Victorian farms. “Since 2011 sadly 150 people have died from quad bike accidents nationally, 23 of those were children. Nearly two thirds of quad bike related deaths are caused by a rollover,
and three quarters of deaths occur on a farm,” she said. “Farmers need to install OPDs to safeguard themselves from death and serious injury, as well as litigation.” Quad bikes accidents are the leading cause of death and injury on Australian farms, and a record 20 people died on quad bikes in 2020. Rollovers cause 60 per cent of quad bike fatalities. Protection devices such as ATV Lifeguards and Quadbars help protect quad bike operators from the risk of serious injury or death from being crushed or pinned if their quad bike rolls over. For more information on the new safety standards, visit www.productsafety.gov.au and search ‘Quad bikes’.
E-scooters and e-skateboards are an electric-powered twowheeled personal mobility device. They usually have a battery either under the foot platform or within the head tube and a small electric motor that drives the rear wheel. What this means if these mobility devices can travel faster than 10 km/h and exceed 200 watts – which applies to the vast majority – they are illegal to ride on public roads, cycle lanes and footpaths. Acting Senior Sergeant Peter Christo said Victoria Police would be ramping up responses, and engage with government and councils, to keep young people safe. "The past 24 months have resulted in increased online purchases of e-scooters and other wheeled recreational devices," Mr Christo said. "The unintended consequence of e-scooter/skateboard prevalence is an increase in injuries as a result of reckless on-road/footpath use. With schools returning to class-based arrangements, we need to ensure community safety remains forefront of thinking."

Check for pests in parcels Having online shopping orders arrive has been one of the more exciting events in Victorians’ lives throughout covid pandemic lockdowns – but few of us think about the stowaways that could be inside. Agriculture Victoria has put out a warning to online shoppers with Christmas less than two months away, to check packages for pests that could be hitching a ride. Various pests from overseas pose a serious threat to Victoria’s agriculture industry, which produces the most food and fibre in Australia. Victoria’s Chief Plant Health Officer, Rosa Crnov, said the sooner an unwanted pest is reported, the higher the chance is that it can be stopped from spreading to other areas. “Exotic plant pests such as brown marmorated stink bug, khapra beetle, exotic ants and snails, can go unnoticed due to their small size and hitch a ride in packages, especially in overseas mail," she said. “Exotic electric ants and fire ants can also hitch a ride in domestic mail and are very aggressive, as opposed to common ants in Victoria that usually run away from disturbances. If undetected, these pests can threaten Vic-

In that same year, Agriculture Victoria received 797 reports of exotic plant and bee pests. “In November last year, a Bayswater business emailed photos of a strange-looking bug to Agriculture Victoria after discovering the insect
in an airfreight package,” Ms Crnov said. “The insect was confirmed as brown marmorated stink bug — a high priority for Australian biosecurity. The brown marmorated stink bug can attack more than 300 types of fruit trees, ornamental trees, vegetable crops and gardens, so this was a very significant detection.” Despite Australia’s strict import conditions, sometimes pests can slip through. Freedom from pests and disease is a major reason why
Australian produce is such high quality, and is highly sought after overseas. But Ms Crmov said anyone, farmer or not, can do their part. “Everyone can play a role in protecting our farmers, environment and community from biosecurity threats by reporting anything unusual," she said. For more information on priority insects and mites, visit www.agriculture.vic. gov.au and search ‘Priority pest insects and mites’.
A 10-year financial plan for Moorabool Shire has been approved, with Councillors voting unanimously in favour. The ’10-Year Financial Plan 2021 – 2031’ came before the Special Meeting of Council (SMC) on October 27, with the Local Government Act 2020 requiring all councils to adopt a Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) by 31 October. The LTFP was first endorsed at Council’s 1 September meeting this year and put out for 28 days of public consultation, before returning to Council for a final vote last Wednesday. Though it is a 10-year plan, according to the Council planners’ report it will “be updated on a rolling basis to take changing circumstances into account and to maintain financial sustainability”. The plan highlights the “unprecedented and sustained growth” of Moorabool, which “presents significant infrastructure challenges for both existing gap funding and new infrastructure”. In the next 20 years, it states, Moorabool’s population is forecast to double. The recommendation to approve the plan was moved by Cr Edwards and seconded by Cr Munari, with all Councillors present then voting in favour. To read the 10-Year Financial Plan 2021 – 2031, and see how it aims to tackle Moorabool’s projected population growth, visit www.moorabool.vic.gov.au, search ‘Agenda and Minutes – 2021’, then click ‘27 October’ and finally, ‘SMC Attachments’.

- Serrated Tussock takes over whole paddocks -
Huge seed production, reduced property value, stock can’t eat it.
Identification: Many tussocks look similar.
Native Tussocks have slightly flattened, perfectly smooth stems and are already seeding prolifically. Serrated Tussocks have round stems (when you run your finger and thumb from tip to base you can feel a slight resistance) and seeds from late October to mid-November, depending on your elevation.
Action: Get rid of Serrated Tussock NOW, before it seeds. Talk to your herbicide supplier about how to control it. Join Pentland Hills Landcare and use their spray equipment. Phone Peter on 0427 672 612 for more information on your local Landcare group.

Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics After a delayed start to the 2021/22 Track & Field season due to COVID restrictions, Bacchus Marsh athletes hit the track on Saturday morning in glorious sunshine. The athletes were all excited to be back participating in sport and socialising with friends again. The Centre welcomed back returning members and it was fantastic to see over 50 athletes take up the two-week free trial offer - registration numbers certainly look promising for the season. Registrations are still available for those rerenewing and trial athletes. Bridie Shanahan (Dolphins) broke two Centre records for the meet. The first new record was set in the Under 16 Girls Shot Put where Bridie threw a distance of 9.97m. In her final event for the day, Bridie smashed the Javelin record bettering it by nearly four metres, throwing 29.02 metres. This coming Saturday will be the season Official Season Opening. The 2021/22 Centre Captains will also be announced. Former BMLAC Eagles member and Port Adelaide footballer, Zak Butters will be attending to officially open our season and present captain’s badges. Training for registered members is on Thursday’s. Under 6-10 at 4.30pm and Under 11-16 from 5.15pm. Results for all registered athletes can be found at www. resultshq.com.au/Login

Ballan Junior Cricket Results – Round 1 Under 13 v Coronet City Ballan 6/75 def Coronet City 7/73 Batting - Sarah Burton 24, Beth Davenport 6 n.o, Clover McIlwaine 6, James Bayard 5 n.o Bowling - James Bayard 2/6, Sarah Burton 1/3, Charlotte Wallace 1/5, Jackson Letcher 1/9, Clover McIlwaine 1/10 A fantastic performance from the team fresh out of home schooling and lock down. A relative new team, they had a great night working together, supporting each other and enjoying a final over win. Sarah Burton with 24 runs and some aggressive final overs batting, helped the team out. James Bayard had a great first game graduating from the U/11s last year to U/13s, picking up 2 wickets and some handy runs in the final overs. Charlotte Wallace played her first match ever, getting a brilliant run out and her first wicket. Along with Charlotte, Oscar Britt and Jai Singh played their first games with Ballan CC, both players contributing to the team result. Under 15 v Wendouree Redcaps Ballan 1/89 v Wendouree Redcaps 3/122 Batting - Josh Singh 22, Tom Norman 19 n.o, Noah Pace 12 n.o Bowling - Sarah Burton 1/15, Clover McIlwaine 1/18, Josh Singh 1/9, Angus Britt 0/7, Tom Norman 0/9 Bowling first, the team did well with seemingly endless left/right batting combinations. The nine dedicated players worked hard and tried their best. Overall, the bowling and fielding was solid for their first game together and now have a few things to work on in the coming weeks to make it even better. Josh Singh was a debut for Ballan and Tom Norman opened the batting, and once the first game nerves settled, played mature and safe cricket setting up a platform for the team to build on in next week’s second innings. Under 17 v Mt Clear Having a delayed start to the season, the team was eager to get out on the park playing. After winning the toss and batting first, the opening pair of Heath Doherty and Ryan Lister got the season off to a sensational start. The pair put on an opening stand of 107, making 41 and 52 respectively. James Childs (13) and Ned Loft (10) closing out the innings. The team finished the 50 overs at 6/169, and they look forward to defending this solid total next week.

Eka records nine wicket haul
Darley Cricket Club - By Todd Whelan
Lion’s spearhead Madushanka Ekanayaka’s stunning nine wicket haul has led defending dual Premiers Darley to an emphatic first round win on the road against Brown Hill. The former Sri Lankan Under 19 representative finished with career best figures of 9/15 from his 7.1 overs to skittle the homeside for just 28. Amazingly, Eka’s returns with the ball since joining the Lions remain the competition’s benchmark with 79 wickets at a tick under 12 runs per wicket (11.92). It’s scary to contemplate just how many more scalps the right arm speedster would have at Darley when you consider just four of his 39 games have been played over the longer form - two day cricket, the only format to be free of (overs bowled) restrictions on any player. Lions coach Brian Wheelahan could not have been happier. “That was as close to a clinical performance as you’ll see,” he said. “Full credit to the boys all-round, the wicket was certainly good enough to score on.” Wheelahan said it while it was phenomenal to witness Eka’s rare-air, nine wicket spell, it was no surprise to see him swoop on a huge bag. “Eka’s been knocking on the door for a while for a result like this,” he said. “Just rewards for a big preseason, I couldn’t be prouder. “In fact, the whole team played their role,” he said. According to Wheelahan, the Lions caught well, bowled well, and batted selflessly to chase down the runs before any rain could spoil a deserved victory.
Darley debutants Lane Havelburg (wicketkeeper) and Dilan Chandima (opening bat) had a day to remember not only for the convincing nature of an affair that lasted just 17.5 overs in its entirety. Havelburg claimed his first catch and remained ‘bye free’ while Chandima gave the Lions faithful a glimpse of what’s to come in 2021/22 with a stylish 13 not out from eight balls that included three fours. The Lions took just 3.4 overs to reel in the target. Be sure to descend on Darley Park this Saturday for the Grand Final replay when the Lions host Golden Point who will be keen to atone for their season opening loss to Wendouree. Play starts at noon.
