Paul Anderson’s traditional Scottish music was enjoyed by Her Majesty the Queen well into her 90s, and the worldrenowned fiddler is bringing his brilliant melodies to Blackwood..

Paul Anderson first played for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the small church of Crathie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, earning an invite to play for her again at Balmoral Castle, which he would go on to do regularly.

A performer of traditional Scottish fiddle music, Mr Anderson has composed over 700 tunes in the traditional style, and will give Blackwoodians and visitors to the town a taste of Scottish tunes at St. Martin’s Chapel on Monday 15 May. Fellow Scottish musician and Blackwood resident Fiona Ross is organising the event, and said she was proud and excited to be bringing traditional Scottish music to the town.

“I sing traditional Scottish songs, I’ve only been in Australia since 2009. I was very involved in the traditional music scene back there, and that’s how I knew Paul. I knew he was coming to Australia for something he’s doing up in New South Wales, then I saw he was going to be in Melbourne, so I sent him a message asking if he’d fancy coming to do a concert for us in Blackwood,” Ms Ross told the Moorabool News.

“He said ‘oh yeah, I can do that, I’ll come and play for you’.

He’s a great guy, he loves the opportunity to share what he does. I’m totally excited, I just can’t wait. It’s going to be a fantastic night, and being from Scotland myself, it’s something very close to my heart…I’m very proud to have someone who is likewise sharing their heritage.”

Mr Anderson will play from 7 – 10 pm on Monday 15 May, with the concert a unique opportunity to experience his music in an intimate local setting.

Tickets are just $20 for adults, and $15 for concession. To book before tickets run out, visit https://www.trybooking. com/book/search, search ‘Paul Anderson St. Martin's’, and click the first result.

Didn’t vote Arts group still daring in the State to dream election?

You are not the only one, as close to 300,000 Victorians who appear to have failed to vote in the November 2022 State election and will have an opportunity to explain why they didn’t vote when they receive an ‘Apparent failure to vote notice’ in the coming days.

Acting Electoral Commissioner, Dana Fleming, says the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is urging people who receive a notice to respond with a detailed explanation, as the VEC is required to issue a fine of $92 if a person fails to respond within 28 days.

“An ‘Apparent failure to vote notice’ is not a fine – it’s a chance to explain why you appear not to have voted,” Ms Fleming said. “If you respond to the notice, you are much more likely to be excused.

“Completing and sending the notice back to us within the 28-day timeframe gives us a chance to consider your explanation and whether you can be excused.” Voting in State elections is compulsory in Victoria. The VEC worked to make voting in the 2022 State election as convenient and accessible as possible by: • increasing the number of early voting centres by 50% (to 155) • extending voting hours during the early voting period • offering telephone assisted voting for those who are blind, have low vision or a physical disability and were unable to vote without assistance, or people impacted by the Victorian floods.

The option to vote by post was also available to all electors, and a drive-through voting centre was offered to COVID positive voters who were unable to vote in the last three days of the election and, hadn’t voted early or applied for a postal vote before applications closed.

The VEC also sent VoterAlert reminders by SMS and email to 2.5 million enrolled voters who had provided their contact details. Voters can sign up for VoterAlert at any time to be reminded to vote in all future State and local council elections at: vec.vic.gov.au/VoterAlert

By Lachlan Ellis Two years on from its ‘Dare to Dream’ exhibition, a local arts group is still dreaming of a permanent home for the arts community, despite suffering setbacks along the way.

Over the past few years, BMAC (Bacchus Marsh Arts Community) Gallery has moved from a donated space in the Village Shopping Centre, then to the old Bacchus Marsh Ambulance Station, before that was auctioned off in early 2021.

Since then the group has been without a permanent home, but not for a lack of trying – the small committee of six knuckled down with the help of Shaun Woodhouse and his architect friend Owen Meade, both working pro bono, in a project to secure the 185-year-old goods shed at the Bacchus Marsh Station as the group’s new home.

The two-year journey has included hundreds of emails, Zoom meetings throughout the COVID pandemic, phone calls and contact with V/Line, VicTrack, local politicians, Moorabool Shire Council, and Regional Arts Victoria.

The group received a written commitment from VicTrack that a full feasibility report, without a request for VicTrack financing, would earn the group their long-awaited new home.

But despite a grant from the Bacchus Marsh Community Bank Branch, and support from then-Member of the Victorian Legislative Council Andy Meddick, BMAC Gallery’s committee feels their plans have hit a bit of a brick wall.

“Because we’re a volunteer organisation, we can only pay minimal rent. We’ve approached so many empty buildings, there’s just no interest from anyone to support us, which in a way I can understand because they own the properties… but because there’s so much empty out there, it’s disappointing,” BMAC Gallery’s Secretary Bev Baker told the

Moorabool News.

“We’ve had a lot of frustrations along the way. The goods shed is a wonderful old shed, we had a big project there at one point when Andy Meddick was in office. We had very good prospects of getting money from the State Government, it’s over a $1 million project, so it’s not something we could just do with a fundraiser. The plans we have drawn up for the goods shed are fantastic, but it seems no-one really wants to help us.

“It’s been two years, and we still haven’t got definitive responses or answers…we get handballed pillar to post.”

The passing of Mr Woodhouse at the age of just 52 last July, and Andy Meddick not being re-elected at the 2022 state election, both “took the wind out of BMAC’s sails”, but Ms Baker says the group remains committed to finding a home for Bacchus Marsh’s arts community.

“Just a premises of any sort would be good, we’d be happy to go into a six-month agreement or something. We just need someone to help us get started again. We won’t give up on BMAC Gallery being an entity, but it seems it won’t be the grand plan that we thought we might be able to pull off,” Ms Baker said.

The group intends to gather the names of interested people for a ‘Register of Interest’, and will once again be holding its Teapot Exhibition in September.

Another exhibition in October will welcome the new life of spring, with a venue to be hired if the group still doesn’t have a permanent home by then.

Other ideas if a suitable venue is found include a Sip and Paint function, a visit by a noted guest artist, a ‘Boots and Bags’ exhibition, and of course, exhibitions for local artists to show and sell their work.

Heavy fine for pub assault

By Lachlan Ellis

down and defuse the situation.

A Bacchus Marsh man has been ordered to pay thousands of dollars in fines, and told he was lucky not to kill the man he punched.

Dylan Mallia appeared in-person at the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’ Court on Friday 21 April, represented by a lawyer.

The court heard Mr Mallia punched a man at a local public house, knocking him unconscious and causing him to hit his head “The victim in this matter is 30-year-old Kyle Doyle. On Saturday 5 November 2022 at 8.30 pm, victim Doyle attended the Flanagans Border Inn. While attending the venue, an argument has occurred inside the premises between witness Brad Inglis and the accused. The accused was with a group of about four males,” Police Prosecutor Acting Sergeant Justin Smith said.

“The two groups continued to argue for a short time before security defused the situation. At about 12.30 am the pub closed, with both groups exiting the venue onto Graham Street with other patrons including the accused and Doyle.

An argument has then occurred between the accused and Doyle, with multiple people attempting to calm the accused

“The argument has continued with Inglis and an unknown male associate of the accused standing in between the victim and the accused. At this stage the accused has swung a punch with his left hand over the top of the unknown male associate, connecting to the right side of the victim’s face, knocking him unconscious.

“Mr Doyle fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete footpath, and associates from both groups attempted to restrain Mr Mallia,” Acting Sergeant Smith said.

“Police attended the scene and activated their body-worn cameras. Ambulance Victoria attended to treat Doyle. He was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and was unconscious between five and ten minutes, unable to remember the incident. He sustained a head injury with concussion and a laceration to the back of his head, requiring four stitches,” Acting Sergeant Smith added.

Mr Mallia’s lawyer said his client had no prior offences, and with his wife having given birth to a child just seven days ago, “has a real responsibility in his life, and a real carrot before him” not to reoffend.

“He’s willing to undertake some form of men’s behaviour program for aggression. He’s not someone who has drink-

ing problems, this is a one-off incident that happened at a hotel…it’s lucky that it’s not a more serious scenario in the County Court or Supreme Court which it could easily be,” Mr Mallia’s lawyer said.

“I’m going to ask the court in this instance if it would consider a substantial financial penalty, combined with a good behaviour order that requires him to do the appropriate programs for men’s aggression during the period of that undertaking.”

Magistrate Hugh Radford told Mr Mallia he was lucky the punch had only concussed Mr Doyle, and not killed him.

“I’m not quite sure I’d like to be standing outside Flanagans pub on a Saturday night with you swinging your fists around. You obviously connected with this guy and you put him down…your counsel is quite right, we hear too often where someone gets hit after a fracas outside a pub and they don’t get up, ever, they’re dead,” Magistrate Radford said.

“It’s only by grace that you’re before me and not the County Court on a manslaughter charge where the penalty would be something between 10 and 15 years jail. Still, I’ve got to take into account you have no priors, you’re a hard worker and you have responsibilities…I’d like to think this is the last time you’ll be before the courts. When you leave a pub, just go home. That’s the lesson to be learned.

“Today it’s going to cost you $5,000. Hopefully that’ll make you think twice. It’s an expensive night out,” Magistrate Radford concluded.

Compiling church history

Saturday 20th May at 2pm Ballan Mechanics Institute 143 Inglis St, Ballan

Tickets: Adult $35 Child $10 https://www.trybooking.com/CFWBT savoyoperacompany.com

A local church turns 150 next year, and the parish is collecting historical photos and stories to use in a new book.

St Bernard’s Church in Bacchus Marsh was dedicated and opened back on 28 June 1874, and to mark the anniversary, the St Bernard’s Parish plans to release a book of photos, stories, and other contributions over those many years.

Contributions from families involved with St Bernard’s Parish since 1874 can be sent to bacchusmarsh@cam.org.au with the subject ‘Attention 150th book committee’.

The Parish’s 150th book committee hopes that families who used to live in Bacchus Marsh, but now live out of town, will also hear about the book and make contributions – so letting former parishioners know about the book would be greatly appreciated.

Who will be crowned Death following train incident Footy's Favourite Farmer?

By Lachlan Ellis

Ricky Allan from the Wycheproof-Narraport Football Netball Club was the inaugural winner of Footy’s Favourite Farmer last year. Photo – Country Club Hub The hunt for Footy’s Favourite Farmer is on, with the State Government and WorkSafe celebrating the unique role of sport in farming communities, while promoting the importance of farm safety.

Tragically, three agricultural workers have already lost their lives this year – in 2022, 568 people working in the sector were injured seriously enough to make a worker's compensation claim.

Victorians can nominate a farmer’s involvement in their local country football netball club for a chance to win $10,000 towards safety upgrades for the winner’s farm, and another $10,000 for safety improvements or repairs at their club.

Geelong Football Club spearhead Jeremy Cameron and Essendon Football Club captain Zach Merrett have jumped on board to help promote this year’s competition, proudly supporting both WorkSafe’s message and local clubs like those in Dartmoor and Cobden that gave them their start.

“In places like Dartmoor where I grew up, the local footy club is literally the lifeblood of the town – so it’s fantastic

to see farmers across the state get the chance to see their name up in lights,” Mr Cameron said.

“I'm grateful to WorkSafe for recognising the importance of farming and for supporting farmers through initiatives like the Footy's Favourite Farmer competition. It's important that we all work together to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those who work hard to feed our nation,” Mr Merrett added.

From May through to July, monthly finalists will be announced, and the farmer’s local club will also receive six footballs and six netballs. On 21 August, one monthly finalist will be crowned the 2023 WorkSafe Footy’s Favourite Farmer.

The competition launches ahead of WorkSafe’s first Country Club Game of the year between Rochester and Echuca in the Goulburn Valley Football League this Saturday, 22 April at Rochester Recreation Reserve.

Nominations are open until 26 July – Victorians wanting to put forward their favourite local football netball club farmer can do so at countryclubhub.com.au.

A man has died in Bacchus Marsh last week, after being struck by a train near Fisken Street in Maddingley.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said that paramedics attended the scene last Wednesday morning.

“Paramedics were called to [a] report of a pedestrian versus train around 9.30 am in Maddingley [on Wednesday 26 April],” the spokesperson told the Moorabool News.

Victoria Police declined to provide a comment on the incident.

Trains were delayed and Fisken Street was closed in both directions at the rail crossing following the incident, with buses replacing trains between Melton and Ballarat.

Prescription extension no cure

Lauren Haworth says the move to 60-day prescriptions will worsen a severe medication shortage affecting pharmacists across the country. Photo – Lachlan Ellis

By Lachlan Ellis A doubling in the number of medicines patients can receive will save those with prescriptions money, but pharmacists say the move will worsen a medicine shortage crisis.

The Federal Government announced last week that it intends to introduce 60-day dispensing for medicines in this year’s Commonwealth Budget, with patients currently only able to get a 30-day supply per visit.

The Government says Australians will save up to $180 a year as a result of the change, but pharmacists are worried the move will lead to panic buying, hoarding of medicines, and

increased overdoses.

President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Trent Twomey, said the Guild has “very real concerns over patient safety”.

“If the Federal Government puts this proposal in the Budget, I am very concerned for millions of Australian patients who need regular access to critical medicine. There are already some 400 medicines in short supply in Australia and around 70 more at risk of becoming short,” Professor Twomey said.

“Australians may not be able to access medicines equally, with one patient having double the amount and another missing out. Local Labor MPs will need to explain to their communities why their community pharmacist cannot sup-

ply critical medicine to patients when they need it.”

Lauren Haworth is Pharmacist in Charge at TerryWhite Chemmart Maddingley, and said the pharmacy already has patients who have been waiting months for their vital medication.

“Who knows what’s going to happen. I think a lot of our anger comes from the unknown and how quickly this has happened, and the fact that all the plights of the pharmacists in this country – both owners and employee pharmacists – have basically gone completely unheard. We’ve been very vocal about this, and we’ve not had a single decent reply from the Federal Government about our concerns,” Ms Haworth told the Moorabool News.

“I think it’s smaller community pharmacies that will be most significantly impacted. One of the scariest things for me is there’ll be more people presenting to urgent care unable to get their medicines. I’ve just had a conversation with a woman who lives in our community, she’s really concerned about the medication she takes for heart failure, that she needs to stay alive.

“She’s just one person, imagine how many people there are in our community who are anxious about not being able to access their medicine. It just breaks my heart.”

Ms Haworth said the pharmacy’s list of medications that are out of stock is extensive, with 17 long-term out of stock medicines on the list. Included on that list is medication a patient has been unable to receive since early January.

“That medicine that patient is waiting for is for atrial fibrillation, her heartbeat doesn’t beat correctly. She’s been waiting for that medication since January…so she had to be swapped to a less optimal option. She’s not the only one, another patient has been waiting for that same drug since the beginning of March,” Ms Haworth said.

“There’s real faces and real patients standing in our store behind these decisions they’re making. Community pharmacists don’t become community pharmacists to tell people we’re out of stock – we become community pharmacists to help people.”

A second qualifier event was also held in Sydney the following weekend, though Ms Frost was unable to attend as she has been recovering from a broken femur from last September.

“Melanie and I, and her horse Lacara D, are part of the Victorian Regional Academy of Sport program through Paralympics Australia and also Part of Equine Pathways Australia where we hold scholarships/bursaries that support our development...we receive support from the WestVic Academy of Sport and Gippsland Academy of Sport as part of the program,” she said.

The Paris Olympics and Paralympics may still be over a year away, but aspiring equestrian competitors are already vying for spots.

A Dressage Spectacular was held recently at Boneo Park – including the Para CPEDI 2* and 3* events to qualify for the Paris Paralympics.

Gordon rider Kelly Frost took part alongside fellow athlete Melanie Hilton, with the duo taking out the Grade 3 FEI Championship and Grade 5 FEI Championship respectively.

The goal was to secure MER (Minimum Eligibility Requirement) scores, to stay in the running for Paralympic qualification.

Ms Frost said the event started with vet checks and trot up.

“We then competed in two tests and if we got average scores over 62, we then competed in the freestyle to music. Eight horse and rider combinations secured their MER, with most scores in the event over 60 per cent,” she told the Moorabool News.

“I'm competing with a new combination Karabil Park Janz. We were picked as part of the team of four representing Australia at this comp.

“We [Melanie Hilton and I] both secured MER scores and will work towards the next Victorian qualifier Nationals in October to hopefully secure more scores towards Paris team Gordon’s Kelly Frost (left) was named Para CPEDI 3* Grade 3 Champion at this selection.

The new metal seats took 182 man-hours to repair, paint, and install. Photo - Lachlan Ellis The Lions Club of Bacchus Marsh has completed a new project to benefit the visitors of the Maddingley General Cemetery.

Last week the Club repaired, painted, and installed four recycled metal seats at the cemetery for visitors to use.

The project, which took two days to complete, saw the Lions Club’s volunteer team put in 182 man-hours of work, and used one cubic metre of concrete for foundations.

The two-pack paint mix used is similar to that used on the restoration of Maddingley Park gates, ensuring a durable finish.

The Lions Club of Bacchus Marsh is proud to have completed this project, and plans to continue serving the community in other meaningful ways.

Attempted burglary case adjourned

Only working smoke alarms save lives

Did you know you can't smell smoke when you're asleep?

New smoke alarms that have a 10-year lifespan ensure families can feel the highest level of security. Working smoke alarms are your best defence against preventable residential fires, especially during the night, when people lose their sense of smell.

These new alarms provide the security of knowing you and your family are protected, while also ensuring you’re not interrupted every year with a nagging smoke alarm.

All smoke alarms in your home should be interconnected – this means that no matter where a fire starts, all alarms will sound.

“Most fatal fires over the past ten years have started in the bedroom or lounge room, and some of these tragedies could’ve been prevented. Interconnected smoke alarms give you the best chance of a notification and escape, regardless of where a fire starts. If a fire occurs, get out and stay out, call Triple Zero, and fire services will be on their way to help,” CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan said.

“Remember, only working smoke alarms save lives.”

By Lachlan Ellis A young man will have to wait another two months to hear his fate, after admitting to trying to break into a local sports club’s clubrooms last year.

The accused, who cannot be named as he is under the age of 18, attended the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates Court on Friday 28 April, charged with attempted burglary and criminal damage.

The court heard the accused and another male went to the Bacchus Marsh Football Netball Club’s rooms late at night, damaging the club’s roller door when they couldn’t get into the canteen.

Police Prosecutor Acting Sergeant Scott Peeler told the court on 2nd September 11.41 pm, the accused and another male attended the Bacchus Marsh Football Netball Club clubrooms.

“They walked to the deck bar area, approached a large aluminium roller door that secured the canteen area. Both males pushed open the roller door from the bottom, applied force.

After a struggle with the door, they pushed it off its tracks,” Sgt Peeler said.

“The males were disturbed by police and ran. Nothing was stolen. On the 6th of September 2022, a search warrant was

executed at his address. He was interviewed and made full admissions, saying he and a friend attended the clubrooms to steal chips and soft drink. They had heard it was easy to gain entry from another group of friends who had tried themselves.”

Magistrate Hugh Radford said any attempt at burglary was disgraceful, but especially on a community organisation like a local sports club.

“Attempted burglary carries a maximum of ten years’ jail.

Criminal damage is also ten years. But the other thing I don’t like about this is that it’s a community club, and you’ve gone in there to presumably nick chips and drinks and things like that,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people that work in that club to make sure it runs properly, they give their time freely, and basically, it’s a community organisation. A club like that supports other young people playing sport, and you’ve gone in there to basically take stuff from it, which I don’t like. It’s bad enough anyway, but particularly on a community organisation.”

The young man was supported in court by his mother, who said he had “cut ties” with the friends involved, and was “really sorry” about what he’d done.

Magistrate Radford said the accused was lucky to have his mother supporting him, “because I’ve seen many boys sit in a courtroom where you’re sitting, all alone – they don’t have any supports”.

“You owe her a big vote of thanks today for coming along and supporting you, because that’s a significant factor I take into account,” he said.

The case was adjourned to 30 June, with the Magistrate ordering the accused to be in-person for that session, with a report on his behaviour since the last session to be provided as well.

Tigers roar in second round Bacchus Marsh Baseball

more runs allowed, both pitchers were strongly supported by catcher Bronwyn Gell and the final score of the game was a winning seven to three for the Tigers.

The Bacchus Marsh Tigers travelled to Ballarat and took on Alfredton A’s for round two of the season, a matchup between 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.

James Bailey led off the batting for the Tigers making a strong start hitting a single to centre field. This set the tone for the day, with the Tigers earning two runs in the first innings then an additional three in the second for a good lead of five runs to none.

Alfredton’s Dan Hamilton took over pitching in the 3rd innings and held the Tigers with some very good pitching until the 7th when the Tiger’s scored another two runs.

Shiori Hoshino pitching for the Bacchus Marsh did not allow Alfredton to score until the 5th innings when they got on the board with a credible three runs.

Then Tigers steadied and finished the Shiori Hoshino pitches to catcher Bronwyn Gell against Alfredton batter Dan game with James Bailey pitching and no Hamilton. Photo - G Tinkler

Back in the Kiwi marvel in White hot form winner's stall

By Tim O'Connor (HRV)

By Tim O'Connor (HRV) The emotions associated with success came flooding back for Amy Tubbs last Wednesday night when the 39-year-old broke a long drought in the sulky.

Tubbs claimed her first victory as a driver in almost six years when she teamed up with Rio Rock – a horse trained by her sister Jess – to win the Golden Point Football Club Billies Legends Pace at Ballarat.

The half-neck win over brother-in-law Greg Sugars was the first since Tubbs piloted Siliqua to the second leg of a Melton double all the way back in June of 2017.

“It was just as fun as I remembered,” Amy, an 11-time Group 1 winner, said.

“The best part was coming back to scale and hearing the caller say that she was trained by Jess Tubbs and driven by Amy Tubbs.

“That was a really special moment. I loved it.”

Tubbs’ 688 career triumphs are highlighted by the 2008 Victoria Cup triumph with Melpark Major, a horse trained by her late father Alan.

Wednesday night was a big one for Amy, who was also celebrating after Cognati - a horse she part-owns - returned to the track a winner in the Plumbpro Trotters Handicap.

The rejuvenation of A Gs White Socks continued to unfold at Victorian harness racing headquarters last Saturday night as the well-travelled nine-year-old added yet another victory to a fruitful month or two at the races.

The former New Zealand-based pacer streeted his rivals in the TAB Golden Reign Free For All at Tabcorp Park Melton, with an early move from the back line paying dividends as Greg Sugars completed a bloodless coup in his battle for the front.

And from there it was basically game over for his rivals as A Gs White Socks slipped away approaching the turn and cruised down to the line to win by more than 5m over Max Delight, who hit the line nicely second-up from a spell.

A Gs White Socks had won just one race since his famous 2020 Ballarat Pacing Cup triumph before joining Myrniong trainer Jess Tubbs, but has now landed four from his last five starts.

“We are really proud of the job we've been able to do with this horse since joining our stable and he's got a special place in our heart,” Sugars said.

“He's a bit of a character and there's a great group of people (who own him), and it's such a pleasure to have him back racing probably somewhere near career-best form.”

Sugars said A Gs White Socks was a confidence horse, with a big emphasis required on keeping him happy.

“After doing a little bit of tinkering with things, we've sort of got a routine that seems to be agreeing with him now. And

APC Notice

as you can see, we are getting great results on the track,” he said.

A Gs White Socks, who only joined the Tubbs stable from Belinda McCarthy’s barn late last year, has now won 17 of 96 career starts for prizemoney earnings of more than $680,000.

Anthony Butt landed a driving double at Melton with Joe Pace-trained Justalittlesip and Sonya Smith-prepared Hammers Law, while Chris Svanosio trained and drove Aroha Koe and Heavenly Charm to victory.

That's not including the three or four that went out of bounds on the full or simply didn't make the distance. While the frustrations of their goalkicking was palpable, young gun Joel Freeman was the exception, finishing with four goals.

Newcomer ruckman Luke Goetz faced his most difficult assignment at the weekend up against North man mountain Cam McCullum. Whatever stats come to hand from the ruck dual, Goetz passed the test in arguably his best game in Cobra colors. He and Freeman kept up the battle and were ably assisted by joint Captains Jack Parente and Simon La

North too classy for Cobras Franchi. While the Cobras for many weren't expected to win, they could have finished closer as numerous opportunities went begging.

The Roosters were inadvertently compensated with the inclusion of Collingwood VFL listed player Sam Glover - and didn't he look the part, running a merry dance on occasions to finish with a game high five goals. Glover's laconic nature gives the indication he's rarely out of second gear but his footy smarts, and ability to read the play proved a handful for the Cobras to contain.

North Ballarat mid Riley Polkinghorne was clearly the best man on the ground, his two way running and possession accumulation was a feature.

When North Ballarat get their running game going, look out. Their will to take the game on by hand especially ran rings around the trying Cobras and led to scores in transition often out of defence.

Cobras coach Jason Williams

Backs - "Sammy Glover was hard to handle and the North Ballarat forwards made the most of their free flowing footy between the arcs."

Mids - "Our inside guys tried hard to win the ball in the first contest but didn't work hard enough to win the ball back and run in transition from contests."

Forwards - "Looked dangerous and had the most opportunities we have had to date but outside of Joel Freeman, lacked abilityto kick a score."

Undefeated hat-trick of wins

By Todd Whelan Darley remains one of two unbeaten BFNL teams following a 39 point win on the road over East Point. The Devils came to play early, delivering the heat to unsettle the young Kangas, opening up a 27 point lead at quarter time. The 4.9 to 1.0 scoreline suggests the separation could easily have been greater. What transpired thereafter was considerably more even on the scoring front but again the Devils held sway with some late goals. New Kangas coach Jackson Merrett is under no illusions where his team is at, and quite conscious of their age profile. Merrett conceded the game was put to bed in the first quarter but gave credit to his boys for the remaining three quarters despite being outscored 10.7 to 8.7. Liam Canny and Matty Johnston were named their best.

For the winners, Devils coach Dan Jordan was just happy to claim the Premiership points to make it a hatrick of road wins to start 2023, ahead of a bye in Round 4. Full time Devils addition Billy Myers (four goals), is building into resembling his best while Shane Page and Brett Bewley (three goals), continued their good form to start the season. The Devils enjoy the week off ahead of a Match of the Round billing with Sunbury in Round five.

Devils coach Dan Jordan Backs - "Solid defensive effort particularly in the first half.

As the game opened, they were challenged by East's forwards getting good isolation."

Mids - "Really compliant and strong in the first half. East got on top around stoppage in the third (quarter) but we were able to adjust and negate."

JUNIOR COBRAS The Anzac weekend was a very big day for the Bacchus Marsh Football and Netball Club junior footballers and netballers. The traditional round between the two Marsh teams was carried on into the Juniors. The results were mixed for both clubs which befits such a local rivalry. All players enjoyed the challenge and did their best. Thanks to all the players, but also to the family and friends who came in support. A special expression of gratitude to the volunteers who helped out on the day. We were a little short at times, so please make yourselves available for a period each game day to lend a hand. “Many hands make light work!”. We hosted Ballarat last weekend.
