Bank withdraws

By Lachlan Ellis & Helen Tatchell

First it was ANZ, then Westpac – now a third ‘big’ bank has announced the closure of a branch, effective at the end of the month. National Australia Bank (NAB) has been servicing residents for the past 24-years and will be the third bank to close its Bacchus Marsh branch in the space of nine months. The ANZ Bank closed in June 2021, and Westpac in July of the same year. Once having five banks in the town, only the Commonwealth Bank (CBA) and Bacchus Marsh Community Bank are left operating. Tim Clarke is NAB’s Retail Customer Executive for Central Victoria and said in a statement to the Moorabool News there will be no job losses from the fallout of the branch closure.

“Over the coming weeks we will be working with our colleagues from this branch on opportunities for them to continue to support customers either through other branches or across phone and digital channels.” Clients of the local NAB branch also received letters advising of the closure with Mr Clarke saying, “the bank would help customers work out the alternatives.” “Due to the changes in the way customers are banking, we’ll be permanently closing the Bacchus Marsh Branch located at 162 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh on Thursday, 31 March 2022.” He assured current clients they will continue to assist them and make sure this change is as smooth as possible. “There will be no change to client BSB and account details. Prior to the branch closure, the team are also available to discuss any banking needs, including the alternatives that are available to our clients.”

In his statement, Mr Clarke said that 94 per cent of customer interactions were taking place “over the phone, by video or online”, rather than face-to-face. “Over the past few years, fewer customers are coming into branches to do their banking and foot traffic has lessened, which has been accelerated by COVID. Over half of our Bacchus Marsh customers have visited the branch only once in the last year, and more than 65 per cent are also choosing to use other branches,” he said. The nearest NAB ATM following the closure will be at the Melton NAB Branch or from any Australia Post outlets who can accommodate cash withdrawals and deposits, cheque deposits, and account balance checks. The Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in Ballan also closed their doors to customers on August 6 last year, leaving only the Ballan & District Community Bank as the sole trader in the town.

Taking a punt By Lachlan Ellis A local man has won a full college scholarship in the USA, playing American football for the college team as a punter. 21-year-old Jack Burgess grew up playing Aussie rules for Bacchus Marsh, but switched codes to American football last year – and Weber State University in Utah has picked him up to play for their team, the Weber State Wildcats. Mr Burgess said he’d had an interest in American football for years, but it wasn’t until he heard about a program called Prokick that he realised he could make it at college level. “I found out about the Prokick program, they were set up by two guys called Nathan Chapman and John Smith. It’s pretty much an academy-type program where they train you up and teach you the fundamentals of American football punting…there’s a lot of spiral-type kicks that they kick a lot more than we do [in Aussie rules],” he told the Moorabool News. “The colleges come to Prokick with a sort of criteria they want filled, what they want out of a punter. Prokick assess that and match people in the program to those criteria.” The day he accepted the offer of a full scholarship playing with Weber State’s football team was “hectic”, he said. “Nathan Chapman messaged me and said, ‘Hey mate, are you free now?’. He told me that the head coach at Weber State wanted to chat, I had a 15-minute chat with the coach, and he offered me the scholarship right there and then. “It was a bit out of nowhere, usually guys have a bit of time to prepare for a call or think things over, they might talk with the coach ten times before they get an offer – but mine was pretty instant, it was kind of 0 to 100.” Mr Burgess said he was on the way to breakfast when he got the call. “I was about to leave with mum and my sister. I told them to go without me and I’d see them in a bit…when I got to the café I told them, they were very emotional, very happy. Mum started crying her eyes out, it was probably a sight to be seen in the café.” Jack’s mum, Maria, said that while it was daunting having her son decide to move across the other side of the world, it would be an exciting journey for him. “We went to America for Jack’s end of school – New York, Boston, all that. He loves America, it was no surprise. He’s so confident to do things by himself, so it’s not like I’m sending

Photos – Jack Burgess Facebook a little fellow out into the world…he’s really independent,” Ms Burgess said. “I’m choosing not to think about any sad stuff, I’m only thinking about how excited he is, what an incredible opportunity it is, and a huge adventure.” Jack Burgess will fly out to Utah in either May or June this year, and while he said an NFL career would be a dream come true, he’s taking it one step at a time. Jack is the son of the late Ian Burgess, who sadly passed away on 5 September 2020, aged 55. Ian Burgess was a 17-year member of the Bacchus Marsh SES Unit, and was remembered as a “committed and compassionate man, who strived to help his community in any way he could", and remembered through the Ian Burgess Memorial Shield, the Unit’s Youth of the Year Award.

Coffee with a Councillor

By Lachlan Ellis

If you live in Bacchus Marsh and you have questions regarding Council, a more personal interaction than a call or email will soon be available – having a morning coffee with a local Councillor. Rod Ward is one of four Councillors for the East Ward, which takes in Bacchus Marsh, Darley, and Maddingley and said passers-by recognising him while he was having a coffee, had given him the idea to organise regular chats with residents. The Village food court in Bacchus Marsh is where you will find Cr Rod Ward for a “It all came about quite by accident…I do receive a number of emails and phone calls from coffee and a chat.

residents, but I suppose not every resident has the capability or time to send an email or pick up the phone,” Cr Ward told the Moorabool News. “By chance, I was having a coffee one Saturday morning, and in a 20-minute period I had three residents approach me for three different matters. I thought, maybe there’s a need for more accessibility to Councillors.” Cr Ward said he would be available for a chat on Saturday 5th and 12th March 9.00am to 10.30 am at the food court at the Village Shopping Centre. He added, if the community supports the idea, he will consider making the chat sessions a weekly event.

How to prepare your submission It will be a busy week of meetings for those interested in the proposed overhead transmission line project. Six community meetings are being held across the shire from Melton to Waubra and includes Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and Springbank. These are being run by the Central Highlands Power Alliance Group (Stop AusNets Towers) and are planned to inform landowners about the campaign, the legal challenge and the EES process. The following week, Moorabool Shire Council will hold an online community session on preparing a submission to an Environment Effects Statement (EES) public review On Wednesday 9 March, Council has engaged expert speakers on how to prepare a submission in response to an Environment Effects Statement (EES).

The WVTNP proposes a high-voltage overhead transmission line running almost 200km through public and private land from Sydenham to Bulgana. The Minister for Planning decided in August 2020 that the proponent, AusNet, must prepare an EES for the project. The scope of the EES includes elements such as agriculture, landscape and amenity, social, historic heritage, Aboriginal cultural heritage and ecology. As part of the assessment process, the EES will be exhibited for public comment, and interested people may lodge a submission expressing their views about the proposed project or its environmental effects.

The session comes in the lead up to the public review of the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project’s (WVTNP) EES, which is expected later this year. Henry Bezuidenhout Executive Manager Community Planning and Economic Development said an EES is not an approval process itself. “Rather it enables decisionmakers to consider whether a project with potentially significant environmental effects should proceed,” he said. “Acknowledging that most people do not take part in an EES in their lifetime, as well as that an EES is only publicly exhibited for 30 business days, Council has invited two expert guests to help prepare its community.” “This is an important milestone for community participation,” Mr Bezuidenhout said. The session “Preparing a submission to an Environment Effects Statement (EES) public review”, will take place online on Wednesday 9 March, from 6.00 to 7.30pm. Guest speakers include barrister Louise Hicks, and Senior Impact Assessor at the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Jack Krohn. Members of the community are encouraged to submit questions in advance to ensure that relevant themes are addressed by our speakers. There will also be opportunity for live Q&A during the session. Council has stipulated that to maintain professional objectivity, it will not be possible for their speakers to provide advice on the specific circumstances of individuals affected by the WVTNP, however community questions will be answered from a process standpoint. To submit a question visit the Moorabool Engagement Hub: moorabool.engagementhub. com.au/western-victoria-transmission-network-project For more information on Council’s position and advocacy for undergrounding the WVTNP visit their website: moorabool.vic.gov.au/About-Council/Large-Projects-Impacting-Moorabool/ Western-Victoria-Transmission-Network-Project

Bald Hill – ready, set … Get your runners out of the cupboard and have a stretch, because the 1000+ Steps at Bald Hill are almost ready to go – and it’s a long way up. Stage 1 of the Bald Hill Activation Project, which includes the 1000+ Steps and a lookout, began construction in September 2021, and is due to be completed within the next two months, or earlier. The steps will link the residential area near Halletts Way with the peak of Bald Hill, with the steps beginning at Ramsay Crescent and ending near Manning Boulevard. A Council spokesperson told the Moorabool News that Council would be “working with our funding partners for an opening of the facility closer to the date”, but did not specify a particular date, with “March/April” the expected completion time. On 8 December last year, Victorian Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas visited Bacchus Marsh to announce a further $1.6 million in State Government funding for

the project, bringing the total investment to $2.1 million. “This is a really great example of one of those projects where State Government and Council work very closely together to deliver for the people of the Moorabool Shire, but even beyond,” Ms Thomas said. “What we’re seeing after COVID is that more than ever before, Melburnians want to get out, and we’ve got to create a destination and an experience. What we have here with the 1000+ Steps is exactly that.” She said the project would also generate 18 jobs during construction. Stage 2 of the project, an All-Abilities Sculpture Trail, is scheduled to begin construction in mid-2022.

Marsh teen roars at Redline

By Dean Thompson

Redline Raceway returned to action with the first show of 2022 and fans were treated to plenty of action from the participating Junior Sedans, Super Rods, Amca Nationals and Street Stocks. Bacchus Marsh teen, 13-year James Oliver won the Piston Cup for Top Star Junior Sedans on Saturday 19 February. Oliver set a new ten lap track record in winning the Top Star Piston Cup final in front of Dylan Barrow, Fletcher Barron, Jacob Tinworth and Blake Glynn. The margin between the top two at the finish was just 0.853 of a second and the lead duo were almost six seconds ahead of third. Father Trevor Oliver said James has been driving vehicles since he was about six years old. “He drives tractors and steam engines, and can virtually drive anything,” Mr Oliver said. “James started racing in go-carts and progressed from there.” And he can reach the pedals. “Yes, the seat comes forward, and we have extensions on the pedals for him.” Mr Oliver said this is about James’ sixth feature

win since he has been racing. And his third season in junior sedans. In Australian Motor Contest Association racing, Paul Sullivan from Bacchus Marsh was keen to win close to home and started well winning the first two qualifiers whilst Tasmanian Matt Smith won the third and the fourth qualifiers. Two of the Redline tracks most winningest drivers in the AMCA class Dean Heseltine and Tim Reidy looked like they had hard work ahead of them in the final if they were to pick up a win. At the drop of the green flag to start the final, Sullivan was first to lead with Heseltine from the second row fourth spot slotting into second. Reidy from fifth had picked off fourth and third by lap three to assume that spot before Heseltine moved to the front on lap six. In lap eleven Reidy moved to second and it took two more laps however he slid past Heseltine and into the lead in Steve Lodwicks race car. Tasmanian Smith was amongst the drivers to miss out with front end damage due to a crash early in the race whilst Justin Richardson a winner at Wangaratta also failed to finish. When the chequered flag unfurled Reidy with a gap of .424 had defeated Heseltine, Frank Thierry, Sullivan, and Paul Howard.

On Friday 11 March, coinciding with International Women’s Day, head down to Wallace Reserve to see Ride Like a Girl, which tells the incredible story of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. The night begins at 5 pm, with a short cartoon from 7.30 pm, before the main film begins at 8.30. On Friday 1 April (no it is not a joke), Sing 2 will be screening at Egan’s Reserve, a fun family movie in which

Mask rules ease, well some have

Valleria has strong family connection By Lachlan Ellis A local man has shared an historical photo close to a century old, to mark 100 years since his father was born – with many descendants of the families pictured still living in Moorabool. Patrick Flanagan shared a photo of four generations of his family – his father Aeneas Flanagan in the lap of Bridget Vallence (nee Green), the mother of Henry Vallence (Jr), who was father of Ellen Flanagan (nee Vallence), Aeneas’ mother. “There are still many descendants of Henry (Snr) and Bridget in and around Bacchus Marsh. Moira Ross (nee Flanagan) a 1st cousin - is the principal at Coimadai Primary School,” Mr Flanagan told the Moorabool News. “I have been tracing my family for some time now - and do have an extensive family tree. There was a Vallence reunion in the Marsh several years ago - and my research was used.” The Valleria property which the photo was taken at no longer belongs to the Vallences, but can still be found at the top of the hill on Vallence Road, near the corner of Vallence Road North and Finn Court. It was sold to a young family when Amy Vallence died in the early 1980s and renovated. Mr Flanagan also shared his childhood memories of Valleria. “There was a quarry across the road - next to which was the dairy. My recollection is a little foggy as I did not live in the Marsh and was a child - but we did frequently visit Amy and her two brothers, Harry and Eddie, who were all younger siblings of my grandmother,” he said. “As a child, I remember sitting in the kitchen visiting grand aunt Amy Vallence and counting the carriages on the train as it passed - whilst she cooked biscuits and/or scones on the stove - heated by wood gathered from the farm. I remember my mother asking her how she knew the oven was hot enough - and Amy replied, ‘I can feel it on my face’. “There is a story that Grandma was celebrating her birthday in the front room of the house when the news reports re the landing of Gallipoli came over the wireless.” Aeneas Flanagan was born on 19 January 1922, and passed away on 20 August 2013. He had four children, including Patrick, with his wife Kathleen Carew.

Requirements for wearing a face mask were further eased last Friday, as part of an announcement which also included new rules around surgery and vaccination deadlines. With Victoria passing its peak of cases of the Omicron variant, mask mandates were removed for most indoor settings at 11.59 pm on Friday, 25 February. Masks will still remain mandatory for those on public transport, in taxis/rideshare, on planes, indoors in an airport, in a hospital, and those working in hospitality, retail, courts, justice and correctional facilities, and at events with over 30,000 attendees. They will no longer be required at secondary schools, but students from Grades 3 to 6, and workers at early childhood centres and primary schools, will still need to wear them. Opposition Leader Matthew Guy criticised the decision to keep masks mandatory for primary school students in Grade 3 and up. “Masks being kept for Grades 3 - 6 is ridiculous and unfair on kids. The Andrews Government needs to stop playing COVID politics with our kids. Priority should be catching up on two years of lost learning,” he said on social media. Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the move was temporary, and due mainly to the low vaccination rate among children. “Those kids, 5 to 11 in particular, have the lowest vaccination coverage because they’ve been the last to be eligible. And so it’s for their direct protection in part, but also it reduces overall transmission, which protects all of us. So I think it’s a proportionate measure, it won’t be forever,” Mr Sutton told Virginia Trioli on ABC Radio Melbourne’s On Mornings program. The recommendation to work from home if possible has also ended, with masks no longer required in offices. Finally, remaining restrictions on elective surgery were lifted on Monday 28 February, and third dose deadlines for workers in education, who were fully vaccinated on or before October 25, will be extended by a month if they have a booking within that time. Minister for Health Martin Foley said the changes had been introduced thanks to the number of Victorians rolling up their sleeves. “Victorians have done such a great job getting vaccinated, so we’re able to take safe steps to get more people to return to the office,” he said. “We’re balancing the need to support our health system with the benefits of easing restrictions in a careful and sensible way.” As of Friday 25 February, 93.9 per cent of eligible Victorians 12 years of age or older have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 57.6 per cent of those eligible 18 years or older have had a third dose. On Friday, 18 February, the State Government also removed density limits at hospitality venues, and made QR code check-ins at retail settings, schools, and many workplaces voluntary.

Dear Editor, Save Gordon Koalas campaign members are concerned about the advertisement in your paper by Central Highlands Water ‘What’s Happening at the Gordon Wastewater Treatment & Reuse Facility” (page 4) on 8 February. Members of the group have been in dialogue with CHW since July 2021 and the organisation has become increasingly evasive and vague about their plans for the site and protection of the koalas and other wildlife. CHW claim in their advertisement that “The most recent count (of koalas), in 2021, identified three koalas in the plantation area” is misleading. While that exercise may have met the legislative requirements, it has no scientific standing and does not qualify as a “count”. Midway, the company that plans to harvest the blue gums, did a one-off snapshot and this does not qualify as a survey or ‘count’ as they claim. Partly in response to our concerns, CHW has now commissioned its own work to survey koalas on the site. At this stage we are not sure what the qualifications and experience of the CHW contractor are or whether a proper survey methodology will be followed. CHW continues to be evasive about the width of the buffer they intend to leave around the site. While a buffer width of around 30 metres has been mentioned, there is no firm

commitment, nor has there been any independent assessment of this. Save Gordon Koalas remain concerned that such a narrow buffer will not be enough to protect the koalas and other wildlife. Also, as a relatively young plantation of blue gums that have been harvested once and regrown from coppicing, the trees will be highly susceptible to wind damage. Many residents of Gordon and the wider community have started to take an interest in the campaign, and it is no surprise that there is much more wildlife on site – if one takes the time to look. The photo was taken on 29 January this year and shows a healthy koala in the plantation just off Cartons Rd. Gordon residents have sighted many koalas in the area as well as many other species of wildlife. It literally is that easy to see a koala on that site even in full daylight. Common sense tells us that there are much larger numbers present. The recent downgrading of koala status to endangered in most states by the Federal Environment Minister and the commitment by the federal government to a National Recovery Plan for koalas places CHWs poor processes squarely in the spotlight. Every pocket of koalas, including in Victoria, needs to be protected and strengthened in order to ensure survival of the species. The gene pool of koalas in this region may well be vital to their survival. Save Gordon Koalas members have invited CHW representatives to a meeting with residents in Gordon to discuss the future of the plantation. Dr Stephen Derrick BSc (Forestry) and PhD (Monash) Secretary, Friends of Paddock Creek Inc Gordon Dear Editor, I write about Victoria’s award winning road DOWNGRADE project. Long overdue roadworks between Bacchus Marsh and Geelong commenced three+ years ago. An important transport link which qualified for a decent standard of rehabilitation and upgrades is currently incomplete with barely 20km completed. Most of the remaining sections are speed limited to 40 & 60 km/h whilst roadworks are slowly undertaken. Overtaking opportunities on long straight sections with good visibility now have many kilometres of wire rope barriers without a second lane having been added. This substandard and delayed project as well as the stalled duplication of the Western Highway (Australia’s second busiest), confirm that Victoria’s roads are the most neglected in Australia. Paul Jenkins Kurunjang

still be with their loved ones today,” she said. “We’re urging all Victorians to be alert to potential risks around water…but particularly men, who tend to underestimate and misjudge the risks to themselves.” Ms Symes has also launched a new Victorian Water Safety Strategy, which aims to reduce the risk of drowning at beaches, lakes, rivers, dames, homes, pools, and ponds. It maps out ways to tackle contributing factors to the growing drowning toll, such as the growing number of people visiting the water, demand for water safety education programs, and education for people using recreational vessels. There’s been 61 Victorians drowned in 2020 – 21, surpassing a 20-year high of 56 Victorian drownings set in 2018-19.

Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics Centre Last Saturday’s Coles Community Round started off with family relay races as warm-up events. All junior athletes received a Coles gift from the lucky dip at the conclusion of their 70 metre events. Coles medals were then presented to 100m runners who recorded PBs. Remaining medals were then presented to the early 200m races. Open age athletes and officials all received Coles caps. Athletes participated in the red/Coles dress-up theme for the meet. Best dressed Coles vouchers were presented to Jonas Cukavac, Lincoln Braszell, Braydn Rich, Cindy Hawken, Emma Stewart, Lily Norman, Iyla Robinson, Myah Estlick, Mackenzie Estlick and Issy Conroy. Another new Centre record was set for the meet. Emma Smith reduced her own Under 16 200m record, with a new time of 28.49 secs. PB Star of the Week was awarded to Thomas Ibrahim who recorded six personal best results for the meet. Next week the Centre will be conducting a Lap for Kids, with participants donating a gold coin to walk a lap of the Masons Lane Reserve track, and all monies raised will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Best Dressed Boys.

Sweet success for Sugars

Herb feels the Speed

By Tim O'Connor (HRV) James Herbertson was Johnny-on-the-spot as he guided consistent mare Aldebaran Crescent to a long-awaited maiden Group 1 success last Saturday night. As a big crowd celebrated the WomenCan Team Teal campaign with a major fundraising event at Tabcorp Park Melton, Herbertson weaved his magic on the track behind the David Aiken-trained seven-year-old. Herbertson saved the daughter of Majestic Son for one run and it proved the right move as she gunned down favourite Vacation Hill (Andy and Kate Gath) in the straight to win the Lyn McPherson Memorial Breed For Speed Gold Series Final. In the end it was a dominant performance, with Aldebaran Crescent clearing out to score by almost 5m in a mile rate of 1:56.5min over the 1720m trip.

It was Herbertson’s first time partnering the mare, which came about due to regular reinsman Josh Aiken being booked for driving commitments at Menangle on Saturday night. Aiky (David Aiken) is a champion of the game and he's just a champion bloke. Josh, as well, is following in his footsteps. He's just a great driver,” Herbertson said. “He got me on the horse and I can't thank him enough. I'll take him out for dinner for that one. “It's just great, it's a great feeling and who wouldn't want to be winning Group 1s?” Aldebaran Crescent’s record now stands at 13 wins from 64 runs for over $180,000 in prizemoney and she sits atop the Kerryn Manning Trotting Mares’ Triple Crown leaderboard after the opening leg of the series.

By John Dunne It was a Victorian quinella for the ages: Better Eclipse earned himself a place in history as the fastest Australian bred pacer when he returned a stunning mile rate of 1:47.5 taking out a memorable edition of the Chariots Of Fire at Menangle (NSW) on Saturday 19 February. And the runner-up Bondi Lockdown produced a performance rarely seen from a beaten horse let alone in the most prestigious four-year-old Group 1 in the land. Sofia Arvidsson on the leader Bettor Call Me embarked on a mission to find the bottom of Bondi Lockdown’s considerable reserves of stamina when the $3.40 favorite joined her after working from an outside barrier in a blistering 24.3sec first quarter. When Aaron Dunn asked Bondi Lockdown for the supreme effort the son of Art Major shrugged off the relentless mid-race tempo and appeared to gain a winning break halfway down the long Menangle straight. It was left to Greg Sugars and Better Eclipse to emerge from the gasping pack and launch a challenge. A withering finale from Better Eclipse ($8) was sufficient for the son of Betterthancheddar to reel in Bondi Lockdown, holding a metreand-a-half margin on the line. Sugars admitted he and Myrniong trainer Jess Tubbs were still coming to terms with the enormity of the situation they found themselves in, having not only won the Chariots but earned automatic entry into the Miracle Mile with Better Eclipse. Jess and I woke up the other morning and both of us really can’t believe we have a

runner in the Miracle Mile,” Sugars said. He also acknowledged Bondi Lockdown’s remarkable will to win. “I was coming quick enough to think ‘I’ve got you’, but the other horse wouldn’t lie down and for a moment I thought ‘I might not have you’, and it was only when my horse poked his head in front with 50 metres to go,” he said. “Better Eclipse seems to be able to sprint off any speed, which is a great attribute to have.” Sugars conceded Better Eclipse’s fast finishing fourth in the Paleface Adios Stakes was cause for optimism in the Chariots Of Fire from the pole. “He went into the Paleface Adios underdone and when he got out late and hit the line so well it filled us with confidence that he would be at his peak for the Chariots,” he said. Sugars has the distinction of featuring prominently in the two fastest races run at Menangle, having driven Soho Tribeca into third place behind My Field Marshal in an Australasian record mile rate of 1:46.9 in the 2018 Miracle Mile. Not surprisingly, Aaron Dunn said Bondi Lockdown had little left to give over the final 100 metres of the brutally run affair.

Ballan 2nd XI (4th Grade) R14 Ballan 5/108 lost Brown Hill 203. Batting - Jake Wernicke 31 n.o, Param Singh 23. Bowling - John Costello 4/31, David Leach 3/33, Jake Wernicke 2/28, Mack Popple 1/28 Brown Hill won the toss and elected to bat. The opening bowlers, George Muir and Jake Wernicke started strongly with a few chances being created. Unfortunately, none could be turned into wickets by the Ballan side. Param Singh joined the attack and also missed out on some wickets after great bowling, moving the ball both ways.

James Childs sends the bails flying as he gets his second wicket for the U17s.

Jake Wernicke top scored, for Ballan’s 2nd XI, with 31 runs and got 2/28 with the ball.

Brown Hill did not dwell on the close chances and created a storming opening stand, backed up by their number three batsmen after a wicket to Mack Popple. Brown Hill were 1/124 at drinks after 20 overs. The spin twins - John Costello and David Leach were introduced after the break with Costello picking up 4 wickets (3 caught by George Muir at deep mid wicket) and Leach 3, including a magnificent caught and bowled. The returning Wernicke picked up a couple of wickets including a catch to Banjo Leahy and a stumping to Evan Shaw to close Brown Hill’s innings at 203 in the 40th over Ballan openers John Costello and Param Singh started the run chase confidently. Singh amassing a very nice 23 until he was caught at cover. Costello followed soon after caught and bowled. George Muir, in his first bat for the 2nd XI this year made his way to 8 until he was run out, coming back for a second run. James Somers, coming in at number four for his first serious bat of the season played some wonderful shots in his 16 until he too was caught out. Jake Wernicke, 31 not out and David Leach, 7 not out played out the innings until its conclusion. Next week - Ballan 2nd IX v Coronet City away.

In a solid captain’s innings, Hayden Micallef scored 37 runs and followed up with 2/11 for Ballan’s 1st XI.

Lions lock in semi-final berth Darley Cricket Club – By Todd Whelan Yet another masterclass 88 run knock from Lions’ opener Dilan Chandima, led the reigning dual Premiers to a comfortable 53 run win over Naps-Sebas at Darley Park on the weekend. The win means Darley will finish at least second on the BCA table at the completion of the home and away season in a fortnights time. After winning the toss the Lions steadied after losing promoted opener Madushanka Ekanayake (7) as young gun Brodie Ward (23) joined Chandima for a 66-run partnership in relatively good time. Ward has shown enough in the number three role over recent weeks to give the indication a big score will come sooner rather than later. After Ward was dismissed, in form all-rounder Hasi Wickramasinghe (20) assumed the support for Chandima before he too was found leg before - with the Lions still in the driving seat at 3/122. The Lions would find their way to 7/189 at the completion of their 50 overs. Some lusty hitting from Drew Locke (22) and Chandima late ensured the total would be the true test for the visitors whose batting line-up has the full respect from their more fancied rivals. Given a slow outfield, the Lions total felt like 200+ and on a turning wicket that favored the slower bowlers, the task was always going to be difficult. According to Lions coach Brian Wheelahan, his bowlers denied Naps-Sebas any genuine ‘sniff’ and paid credit to each of his six bowlers used. “The bowling group was super again,” he said. “We didn’t even go to arguably the best leggie in the comp (Chandima). “Unfortunately, we dropped five catches, an area we pride ourselves on and will continue work through ahead of finals.” While five bowlers shared among the wickets it was Rahmatullah Khwaja (5/17) who claimed the honours with another example of change-up deliveries. With second place locked in, the Lions prepare for finals with a top of the table clash against Wendouree at Darley Park this Saturday. Wheelahan said there was still lots of work to be done and his boys were looking forward to adopting the underdog tag this week. “Saturday will be a timely cricket audit for us against the yardstick of this season’s competition,” he said.

Coincidentally, this weekend’s match marks the 50th game for Wheelahan as coach as the club remains in the hunt for a rare three-peat. Play starts from noon.
