Funding concerns
KINGSTON Council estimates that its ratepayers are paying for nearly $7 million in responsibilities passed on to councils by the state government. Earlier this year, Kingston Council officers began work on a report outlining instances of “cost shifting from the Victorian State Government to the City of Kingston.” The report, published last week, revealed that “more than $6.8 million of known costs have been shifted from the state government to council and are now embedded within the existing budget”.

Councillors refer monitors for audit
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
KINGSTON Council will refer invoices submitted by the state governmentappointed municipal monitors for independent auditing, with a referral to the Local Government Inspectorate and Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission to follow.
Kingston Council has been overseen by monitors for close to a year. Monitor John Tanner arrived at council last August, followed by John Watson in
October. Last week Kingston Council confirmed that it had discovered “administrative errors” in invoices submitted by John Tanner.
Among the points of concern were that Tanner had invoiced council for work undertaken on 30 February and 31 February, dates that do not exist. At their most recent public meeting, councillors voted to “refer the matter of concerns regarding Municipal Monitors’ invoicing to the Audit and Risk Committee and Internal Auditors if the committee deems appropriate, and refer the matter and any relevant documents as deemed appro-
priate by the Chief Executive Officer to the Local Government Inspectorate and Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission.”
The mayor Georgina Oxley supported the proposal to refer the matter for assessment by the independent Audit and Risk Committee. She said “we as a council are simply stating that we are concerned, we ask that there be action taken, and I know that those investigations are occurring at the moment into what’s occurred.”
“We don’t have the full picture, but what’s important is that we get it, and
if money does need to be paid back that it’s paid back with interest depending on how long that’s been occurring for,” the mayor said. “Those matters are now referred off to the people who know the most about it, that can determine if there’s been any wrongdoing, and that can make sure that the people that are sitting over the top of us conducting assessments of our behaviours as a council and our integrity as a council, also have those checks and balances on them as well.”
A short statement provided by Kingston Council about the matter last month
read that “council is working with Mr Tanner to correct three minor administrative errors that were made in an invoice submitted in his statutorily appointed role as a municipal monitor” (“Council confirms ‘errors’ in monitor payments”, The News 29/7/2026). The News is not alleging any wrongdoing by the monitors, only that the matter is being referred for auditing.
The decision to refer the matter for further investigation was approved with the support of Crs Oxley, Sarah O’Donnell, Chris Howe, Caroline White, Georgia Erevnidis, and Jane Agirtan.

Animal cruelty cases fall in Kingston
Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au
RSPCA Victoria’s annual Animal Cruelty Report has shown a fall in animal seizures and surrenders in the Kingston Local Government Area during the last financial year.
While data from 2024/25 had animals seized or surrendered at 21, data from the 2025/26 financial year shows 15 animals seized or surrendered. In terms of the number of reports of animal cruelty in the 12 months, Kingston had 145, making it the 21st highest LGA for animal cruelty reports
out of 79 in the state.
Neighbouring Frankston LGA fared much worse with 41 animals seized or surrendered, up from 30 the previous year.
RSPCA Victoria Chief Inspector Michelle Green said this year’s data showed conditions are not improving for Victoria’s animals.
“Despite the number of cruelty reports reducing, we’ve seen a nearly 19% increase in the number of animals seized by or surrendered to our Inspectorate, including an 80% increase in the number of reports related to hoarding compared to two years ago,” said Green.
“Many of Victoria’s pet owners are facing financial hardship and mental health challenges, as well as drought in some areas, and this has directly affected their pets.
“Our inspectors are spending more time working with rural animal owners, especially horse owners, with a more than 10% increase in horses seized or surrendered this year including a significant number of thoroughbreds.”
Anyone with concerns about the welfare of animals is urged to make a report to RSPCA Victoria at rspcavic. org/who-to-call or by calling 03 9224 2222.
Kingston Council voices ‘cost-shifting’ concerns
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
KINGSTON Council estimates that its ratepayers are paying for nearly $7 million in responsibilities passed on to councils by the state government.
Earlier this year, Kingston Council officers began work on a report outlining instances of “cost shifting from the Victorian State Government to the City of Kingston.” The report, published last week, revealed that “more than $6.8 million of known costs have been shifted from the state government to council and are now embedded within the existing budget.”
“In addition, proposed policy changes by state government could result in a further $6.8 million in estimated annual ongoing costs. This all represents budget resources that could otherwise be spent on other priorities for the Kingston community,” the report read. “A further $47.6 million relates to costs passed through to the community and administered by council and with the potential to be perceived as council-costs, including the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund and the landfill levy that is recovered through council’s waste charge.”
At last week’s public council meeting, Cr Sarah O’Donnell said that the figures contained in the report were a “shock”. She said “when I saw the numbers in this spreadsheet my jaw dropped about three feet. When we are talking figures up to $47.6 million, that’s a concern.”
“We don’t have a leg to stand on,
we have to literally cop it. We turn around and look at the Emergency Services and Volunteer Fund, that has hit residents and businesses significantly. That is a state-mandate, there is not a thing we can do about it, but the hours of work that staff have to contribute to this to fulfill the obligations that the state government has imposed on us costs an awful lot of money.”
The most significant current cost-shifting instance identified by Kingston Council was the “erosion of funding arrangements” for its libraries. It estimates that more than $2.7 million has been shifted to council.
“State funding levels for public libraries [has] not increased at pace with operating costs which are increasing faster than funding levels and shifting greater pressure to council, despite the understood 50:50 funding expectation,” the report read.
The state government-mandated introduction of a fourth bin was highlighted as the most significant future cost-shifting issue. Council estimates that upwards of $4.3 million will be spent on “state-mandated purple glass recycling bins from 1 July 2027, with associated capital and operating costs recovered through the waste charge and ultimately borne by ratepayers.”

Carrum MP among leadership contenders
CARRUM MP Sonya Kilkenny reportedly launched an eleventh-hour bid to replace Jacinta Allan as Victorian Premier last week.
On the morning of the Labor caucus meeting to elect a new party leader last Tuesday, 28 July, Kilkenny put her hand up to replace Allan in the top job. Kilkenny has been a staunch supporter of Allan, and was promoted to the Attorney-General position under her leadership.
Kilkenny reportedly withdrew from the leadership contest later the same day. Her withdrawal paved the way for Ben Carroll to be elected unopposed as the new Victorian Labor Party leader, avoiding a prolonged voting process. Carroll was then sworn in as Premier.
After the dust settled, Kilkenny published a social media post paying tribute to the outgoing Premier.
“As only Victoria’s second female Premier, Jacinta has been a role model for women and girls across this state. She has led with decency, intelligence and genuine care for the people of Victoria,” Kilkenny said. “Her legacy is one of meaningful change - the Metro Tunnel, level crossing removals, North-East Link, major projects and hospitals, and the SRL. She has championed better health care for women; strengthened support and protections for women and children experiencing family violence; tackled the housing crisis, making Victoria the townhouse capital of Australia; and has never stopped fighting to improve people’s lives.
“She also carried the burden of significant sexism and misogyny throughout her leadership. But always remained steadfast and determined to deliver for the people of Victoria. That resilience will inspire women in public life for years to come. I have been so proud to serve alongside Jacinta and grateful for her friendship, leadership and compassion.”

Man dies after Seaford car crash
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A MAN has died after a horror car crash in Seaford last week.
Police say that a Toyota RAV4 and Holden
tion Street at around 2.30pm last Monday, 27 July. The 72-year-old Seaford man driving the RAV4 was taken to hospital in a critical condition, but later died.
The driver of the Captiva, a 64-year-old Frankston East woman, was not injured. Police later inter-
viewed her and on 30 July charged her with culpable driving; she was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court the following day.
As of 31 July, 143 people have been killed on Victorian roads in 2026. That figure is down from
last year’s figure at the same time, 179, and below the 5-year average of 156.
The Seaford man was the 36th person aged over 70 to die on Victorian roads this year, more than any other age category. He is the first person to be killed on a road in the Frankston municipality this year, TAC statistics show.

Teens hurt in car crash
A TEENAGE girl sustained life-threatening injuries after a car crash in Langwarrin last week.
Police allege the 14-year-old crashed a stolen Honda Jazz on Peninsula Link near the CranbourneFrankston Road exit just after 10pm on 29 July. She was pulled from the overturned vehicle and taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, and her 14-year-old passenger was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police allege the car was stolen from outside a Chadstone gym on 23 July. They have asked anyone who saw a grey Honda Jazz in the area prior to the crash to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Disability no barrier for peninsula duo’s ‘Bash’
Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au
TWO young women from the peninsula are preparing to make history as they become the first adults with disability to take part in the Variety Bash.
Natalie Palancian and Amelia Nichols are both 21 and have mobility issues that stem from cerebral palsy. They met at school and have remained close friends since.
The girls decided they will be partaking in the 10-day, 5,500km road trip across Australia to help raise money for Variety, a charity that supports children living with disability, disadvantage, or illness.
The Bash begins on 18 August from Halls Gap, with participants going through outback tracks, bush, and remote communities before arriving at Exmouth on 27 August.
The girls will be joined by Stacey Matheson, a nurse from their high school, and her daughter Alice.
Natalie’s parents, Mel and Josie Palacian, will be accompanying them in a support car.
Josie said no adults with disability had ever partaken in the charity event.
“They think we’re absolutely nuts for wanting to do it,” said Josie.
“Which makes us all the more eager to prove to them that we can do it.”
Josie said there was lots of planning and negotiation involved as organisers had never accommodated participants with mobility needs.
“We don’t take no for an answer,”
said Josie.
“We’re trying to make disabilities normal and take these girls on the road and show all these people that it can be achieved.”
The girls will travel in a specially modified Kia fitted with a wheelchair ramp. The vehicle does fall just short of the Variety Bash’s usual 25-year minimum age requirement, but an exception has been granted to allow
Natalie and Amelia to partake.
“I love what Variety does,” said Josie.
“And I think given nobody with a disability has done this big thing, it’s important for them to practice what they preach.”
Josie said their participation wouldn’t be possible without the help of their sponsors: Gippsland Finance, Ed Ewers Architecture, Exotic
Graphix, Yokohama, Tyres and MorePakenham, Peninsula Uniforms and Embroidery, and Pedders Suspension.
Sheen and Ringwood Mazda have provided them with a second car, which will allow the rest of the team to participate as well.
Josie said the journey will be difficult as travelling hundreds of kilometres a day means relying on roadside facilities that may not be accessible,
STACEY Matheson, Variety Bash competitors Amelia Nichols and Natalie Palancian, and Alice Matheson. Picture: Gary Sissons
but they refuse to let that stop them.
“We kind of go, ‘Give us the challenge and we’re going to make it work’,” said Josie.
Josie said both girls lead active and fulfilling lives; volunteering, working, participating in therapy, and maintaining social lives.
She said she hopes the team’s participation will help change the way people think about disability and inclusion.
“We want to teach people disabilities aren’t a bad thing,” said Josie.
“We’ve really tried to break a lot of boundaries and that’s what we do.”
The team has already raised over $10,000 for Variety, with all donations going towards equipment, therapy, and programs for children living with disability, disadvantage, or illness.
Josie said every contribution means a lot to everyone participating.
“We’re very grateful that they see the vision behind what the girls are trying to do,” said Josie.
You can help support the girls and their journey at:fundraise.variety.org. au/fundraisers/Car26MilsonWheels.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK
SUNDAY
SATURDAY FATHER BROWN
ABC TV, 8.20pm
Many of our regular characters are putting on a play called The Most Perfect Murder (a play within a play, if you like) only for the production to be derailed by the unscripted murder of the production’s rather unpleasant set designer. Luckily, Chief Inspector Edgar Sullivan (Tom Chambers) and Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) – as well as Father Brown (Mark Williams, left) – are on hand to help get to the bottom of it. Was it a case of a bully getting his comeuppance, a financial dispute or something else? The show must go on, but the cast and crew find trust uneasy with a murderer in their midst.
RACE AROUND THE WORLD
ABC TV, 7.30pm
The rebooted race is done and now it’s time to find out who won. William, Mikaela, Jayden, Elliot, Kate and Lucinda have spent the past 100 days jetting around the globe, delivering a new four-minute documentary every 10 days to be critiqued and scored by resident judge and original ’90s racer John Safran (right) and guest judges. On Sunday, the racers are back in the studio to watch their final works (shot in locations of their choosing) and find out who wins the grand prize – filming a longer-form doco for the ABC.
MONDAY
DEAL OR NO DEAL: CELEBRITY
JACKPOT
TEN, 7.30pm
The Traitors Australia host Gretel Killeen is no stranger to putting in the hard yards in the name of charity, having served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for seven years, directed a doco about AIDS orphans and entertained Aussie troops in war zones around the world. So hanging with Grant Denyer (above with Killeen) and opening some briefcases to win up to $200,000 for family violence support organisation RizeUp should be a walk in the park. Holding the cases is a “murder” of Traitors cast members – including Rhys Nicholson, Kirby Bentley, Gamble Breaux and Rob Farnham – all eager to help the devoted humanitarian win big for an important cause.

paints live in Parkdale
ART lovers are invited to experience creativity in action when local artist Lily Walker paints live at Kingston Arts’ G3 Gallery in Parkdale on Saturday 8 August.
Visitors will have the rare opportunity to watch Walker create a new oil painting, ask questions about her creative process and gain an insight into the techniques behind her work.
The live painting event coincides with Lily Walker’s current exhibition, Home Show, on display at G3 Gallery until 22 August.
The exhibition features a series of oil paintings exploring themes of intimacy, closeness and care within the context of suburban Melbourne. Through familiar settings and quiet moments, Walker invites viewers to examine the connection and disjunction between internal and external worlds, positioning domestic spaces as thresholds between the two.
A Naarm-based emerging artist, Lily Walker’s practice centres on painting ordinary moments with warmth and sensitivity, finding significance in the rituals, relationships and spaces that shape our daily lives.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, an aspiring painter or simply curious about how a work of art comes together, the free event offers a unique behind-the-scenes experience.
Lily Walker Painting Live takes place on Saturday 8 August, from 11am to 4pm, at G3 Gallery, Shirley Burke Theatre, 64 Parkers Road, Parkdale. Visitors are welcome to drop in throughout the day, with free admission.
Home Show is also free to visit and is open Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm until 22 August.

Seasonal outlook - Mornington crops do well
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
THE agricultural and pastoral outlook
in the Mornington district is most favourable, and one of the best for a considerable time.
Early in the year it appeared that a serious drought was likely to be experienced, but in the past four months splendid falls have been recorded, and the ground has become splendidly soaked.
Farmers then became jubilant about the outlook. There is now plenty of moisture to carry the crops on for several weeks.
There have been some warm, sunny days and very few frosts.
Crops show a vigorous growth. The area under cultivation is more than last season, and should the spring be at all favorable, heavy yields of oats must be obtained.
At Sir G. Tallis’s farm 500 acres are sown down with oats. This is said to be a record for the Mornington Peninsula.
Pastures are in abundance. Stock of all descriptions are in high condition.
The milch cows are in fine trim, and are milking well for this time of the year.
Lambing is well in progress, and a high percentage is expected. So far foxes have caused very little trouble. This season they appear to be scarce. Lambs are never troubled with crows in this part either.
On a number of farms subterranean clover has been planted, and sheep have thrived on it.
Top-dressing has also been carried out with excellent results.
Maize, barley and rape, as well as
all kinds of vegetables, do well. A splendid crop of oats, rape and turnips (2 feet high) is to be seen growing on Mr. A. Downward’s Tuerong property. Sheep off this crop realised 27/7 per head.
The district is also interested in fruit-growing. At present pruning is in hand. Prospects of a good fruit crop look extra good.
The Two Bays Nurseries have dispatched 300,000 trees to Argentina, and all parts of the Commonwealth. Apples are now being sent from the cool stores.
Jonathans are realising 11/- per case in Melbourne, which is more than they brought in London.
Forty acres of new land have been broken up for more trees. Altogether there are 500 acres of orchard, 200 acres being in full bearing. ***
Railway Commissioners Annual Visit. Many Requests – Few Concessions
The annual visit of inspection by the Commissioners was carried out on Wednesday morning last on the Frankston and Mornington lines. They arrived at Frankston at 10.30am and were met on arrival by the Shire president (Cr. F. H. Wells), Cr. W. J. Oates, Mr. J. A. P. Ham (Shire secretary), with a large number of members from the Progress and Traders’ Associations.
In reply to Cr. Wells, who asked that the 5.30pm and 10.28pm trains be extended to Frankston, Mr. Clapp stated that the traffic did not warrant the extension being made.
Another suggestion that the first
train on Sunday morning start earlier received the reply that a report would be called for, and probably the request would be granted.
Cr. Wells also asked that the following matters be given consideration:
(1) The drain in station yard opposite High school to be covered in.
(2) A wicket gate to be provided near the goods shed.
(3) The metalling of portion of Dandenong Road, which was acquired by the railways when new station yard was laid out.
Mr. Clap said that the first and second requests would be referred to the officers of the department concerned, and the third request was refused. He would oppose any effort on the part of the council to endeavour to have the department metal the part of road referred to.
Mr Clapp said that instructions had been issued for metal from the shire quarry to be used on works in this district.
Cr. Oates reminded the Commissioners of their promise re the moving of the parcels dock.
This work is to be carried out as soon as possible.
In reply to Cr. Oates that the sanitary conveniences be removed from near the path leading to the station, Mr. Clapp stated that they would not be moved from present position, as he saw no reason for objection.
Cr. Oates referred to the proposed buses between Melbourne and Sorrento, and asked that same be run to Frankston only and connect with the trains for Melbourne.
Cr. Oates suggested that the buses
act as feeders to the trains and not run parallel with the trains.
Mr Clapp said, there was no hope of attracting any traffic in this way.
It was not desired to encourage the Frankston residents to patronise these buses. They were for the people beyond Frankston and Mornington.
Mr. Clapp: What patronage are you giving the road service at present?
Cr. Oates: The parcels dock is at present very inconvenient. This dock we expect the people to make full use of it.
Cr: Wells: Frankston wants a crane very urgently, as at present large pieces of timber and other heavy goods are being brought by the road.
Mr. Clapp promised that “sheer legs” would be provided to lift 12 ewt.
Cr. Oates conveyed to Mr. Clapp the residents’ appreciation of the attention and courtesy given by the local SM and staff.
Mr, Clapp replied that it was very gratifying to hear that the staff were giving satisfaction. ***

Support That Moves With You IN THE specialists HANDS
WHEN busy days keep you constantly moving, tired and aching feet can quickly affect more than your stride. From standing at work to running errands or enjoying an afternoon walk, poorly fitted footwear can place added pressure on the feet, knees and lower back. The right combination of support, cushioning and fit can make every step feel noticeably better.
Ziera footwear is designed around the needs of real feet, combining contemporary style with carefully considered comfort technology. With multiple width options and supportive constructions, the range helps accommodate different foot shapes while encouraging a more stable and natural walking motion.
At the heart of Ziera comfort is a selection of anatomically contoured footbeds created to provide flexible arch support and help absorb shock. Many are removable, making it easier to accommodate custom orthotics while allowing wearers to personalise the support inside their shoes.
Wide and extra-wide fittings can provide valuable room across the forefoot, helping reduce
pressure on sensitive areas. Adjustable straps, laces and side zips available across selected styles also make it easier to achieve a secure fit without feeling restricted.
Many Ziera styles have been reviewed by podiatrists and awarded the Australian Podiatry Endorsed Association Seal of Acceptance, reflecting the brand’s focus on supportive footwear and foot health.
A curated range of Ziera footwear is available at Bayside Shoes, offering customers supportive options that bring together comfort, fit and modern everyday style.

Scoreboard
Rosebud best the Bulldogs in dominant display
MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV ONE SEN
ROSEBUD have continued their 2026 dominance with another win last weekend, this time against Mornington.
The ’Buds made their intentions clear from the first bounce with a rampaging first quarter that saw 14 scoring shots to three. If it wasn’t for inaccuracy, they would have been much further ahead after slotting 4.10 to take a 26-point lead into the first break.
The Bulldogs found some form in the second, slotting six straight goals, which would have been impressive but for Rosebud’s 6.5 that saw them pull out to a 31-point lead at half time.
The third quarter was when Rosebud really put Mornington to the sword, kicking 10 goals to Mornington’s two majors, taking an 84-point margin into the final quarter.
The final term saw Mornington kick five goals to Rosebud’s four and clawing the margin back a little to hit the showers with a 73-point deficit.
The final scores were 24.22 (166) to 14.9 (93). Rosebud had 12 separate goal kickers, with Blake Kuipers topping the list with five and Kirk Dickson kicking four. Matt Caine was the best in front of goal for Mornington with four. Mt Eliza played out a thrilling draw in front of their home crowd against Dromana.
The Tigers were the first out of the blocks in the first quarter slotting three majors to a single goal from the Redlegs do go into the quarter-
time break with a 14-point margin.
Mt Eliza fought back effectively in the second, kicking five goals, and keeping Dromana to two, to grab a three-point lead going into the long break.
Both teams kicked four goals in the third quarter but a few more minor scores from Dromana saw the Tigers pull level to see both sides on 55-points at the final break.
A thrilling final quarter saw the lead change five time, with Dromana two points down with only minutes to spare. Two final points from the Tigers saw them pull level, where the final siren sounded.
Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Dromana the game, with their score of 11.10 (76) compared to Mt Eliza’s 12.4 (76).
Ziggy Toledo kicked three for Mt Eliza and Sam Fowler and Ethan Johnstone kicked three each for Dromana. Josh Geurts, Toby Geurts, Jai Taylor, Nick Collier and Sam Geurts were among Dromana’s best.
Despite losing for the first three quarters, Devon Meadows were able to come back and best Pines.
In the first quarter, the Panthers were unable to score while the Pythons struck quickly, scoring 4.5.
Devon Meadows won the second quarter but were still unable to get into the lead after scoring 2.7 to Pines’ 1.2, leaving Pines up by 18.
The Pythons scored a further 2.1 in the third quarter while the Panthers scored 3.1.
In the final quarter, Devon Meadows were
finally able to claim the lead after scoring 5.7 to Pines’ 2.0. This resulted in Devon Meadows (10.15) securing their win against Pines (9.8).
Langwarrin secured a win against Frankston YCW.
The scores were very close in the first quarter, with the Kangaroos leading by three points after scoring 3.4 to the Stonecats’ 3.1.
The Kangaroos jumped ahead in the second quarter after scoring 7.6 to Frankston YCW’s 2.1, leaving Langwarrin ahead by 38 points.

In the second quarter, the Eagles continued to glide ahead steadily, scoring a further 5.5 to Sorrento’s 3.1, leaving the Eagles ahead by 71 points.

Chelsea continue their finals charge against Pearcedale
MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV TWO SEN
LADDER leaders Chelsea’s strength shone through on Saturday with a commanding win against Pearcedale.
The Seagulls were not wasting any time in the first quarter, kicking six goals to two to go into the first break with a 26-point lead.
The Panthers had no answers in the second quarter only managing 1.4 to Chelsea’s 3.4, seeing the Seagulls extend their lead to 38-points at the main break.
Things went from bad to worse in the third with Pearcedale only putting on one major while Chelsea slammed on another five to take a 62-point margin into the final break.
The chocolates were never on the line in the final term, but Pearcedale did claw back a little honour with four goals to one to narrow the margin to 46-points at the final siren.
The final results were 15.12 (102) to 8.8 (56). Sean Downie and Jack Wallace kicked three each for Chelsea and were among Chelsea’s best, while Robbie Arnott, Luke Settineri, Huw Jones, Ethan Vagg, and Kye Harris were the best for Pearcedale.
Second on the ladder Somerville showed they mean business with a commanding win over struggling Karingal.
The Bulls have only notched two wins for the season and sit second from the bottom, so were always going to struggle against Somerville.
The first quarter saw ten scoring shots to three in favour of Somerville, with only inaccuracy in front of the big sticks limiting them to just a 17-point margin at the first break.
Somerville found their accuracy in the second, scoring 5.1 to Karingal’s 2.4 to push the half time margin out to 32-points.
The third quarter saw Somerville dish out some savage football, holding Karingal to a solitary point for the term while nearly doubling their own score with 9.4 added to their tally. Their margin had rocketed out to 88-points by three-quarter time.
The final quarter was fairly pedestrian, with Somerville players wondering what was for tea as they slotted a couple more and kept Karingal to a single goal.
The final margin was 101-points in favour of the Eagles, 20.17 (137) to 5.6 (36). Lachlan Williams, Luke Burton and Lachlan Sharp kicked three goals each and Harley Callahan and Oscar
Hanson kicked two goals each for the Bulls.
It was another tough day at the office for Tyabb on Saturday, still winless for 2026 after another defeat against Seaford.
A five goal to one haul in the first quarter saw the Tigers take a strong early lead against the Yabbies, taking a 23-point margin into the first break.
The margin was still 23-points at half time with both teams kicking 4.2 in the second quarter.
In the third, Seaford kept Tyabb to a single point while putting on 6.5 themselves to stretch the margin at three-quarter time out to 63-points.
In the final term, Seaford put another three majors on the board to a single goal from Tyabb. Coupled with a few minor scores for each team the final margin ended up at 74-points.
Brodie Scully kicked five for Seaford and was among their best. Tyabb’s Jude Morley kicked half his team’s goals with three majors to his name.
Bonbeach bested Crib Point with a 47-point win.
The Sharks got out of the blocks too quickly for Crib Point, kicking seven majors to one in the first term to have a 36-point lead over the Magpies at the first break.
Crib Point managed to reduce the
margin a little during the second quarter, kicking 4.4 to Bonbeach’s four straight goals; a 32-point margin in favour of Bonbeach at the main break.
The Sharks stretched the margin back out in the third quarter, kicking three majors to the Magpies’ two, and holding a 40-point lead at the final break.
Both teams scored freely in the final term with Crib Point putting on five goals to Bonbeach’s six, leaving the Sharks with a 47-point lead at the final siren, 20.9 (129) to 12.10 (82).
Bonbeach’s captain Liam Hulett was the stand-out of the game, kicking seven goals.
Frankston Bombers had a strong win at home against Red Hill.
The Bombers got the jump on Red Hill, kicking 4.1 to 0.3 in the first term to hold a comfortable 22-point lead at the first break.
Red Hill came storming back in the second term, kicking five goals to one, pulling level in the 25th minute and hitting the lead with a goal in the 27th minute to hold a six point advantage at the half time break.
By the fifth minute of the third quarter, Frankston had pulled back even, and before long were pulling ahead of Red Hill. Sixteen points separated the teams at the third-quarter time break.
Red Hill never got another chance. The Bombers slotted four more majors to Red Hill’s two, to leave the final margin at 30 points in Frankston’s favour, 13.6 (84) to 7.12 (54).
Matt Robinson kicked seven for the Bombers, his biggest haul for the year. Hastings got out of the blocks strongly against Rye and despite having one less scoring shot, ended up four points up at quarter time.
Rye managed to get their noses in front by a point at half time, but would have been much further ahead, but for wayward kicking, sitting at 4.11 to Hastings’ 5.4 at the long break.
The Blue managed five goals in the third quarter to again take the lead at three quarter time by three points, with the lead changing four times during the term.
The Demons headed into the final term like a team possessed, laying on 5.4, and leaving the Hastings’ team managers trying to get hold of a young priest and an old priest. They could only manage 2.2 themselves, and ended the game 17 points behind, the final scores being 13.18 (96) to the Demons and 12.7 (79) to Hastings.
Edward Greene kicked three goals for Rye and Thomas Muscillo kicked five for Hastings.
Dolphins crush Crushers
RUGBY
By David Burke
WITH a weekend that produced perfect conditions for rugby league the Peninsula Dolphins 3rd grade seniors met the Bendigo Crushers at Seabrook Reserve in Broadmeadows for Saturday afternoon clash on 1August.
In a game that had a lot of stoppages, the Peninsula Dolphins found it difficult to get into their usual tough “grind it out” style of rugby league.
Even with the stoppages they managed to put 20 points to nil on the Bendigo Crushers in the first half.
The Dolphins allowed frustration to creep into the game with the stop start nature of it pulling them away from their usual high standard of intensity and discipline from start to finish that they pride themselves on. At times they were guilty of trying to force momentum, rather than earn it.
The Dolphins, for the most of the match, showed why they are up the top end of the table with massive individual metres made in attack and defence that dominated field position, starving Bendigo of any points.
They showed they are on track for finals rugby league when they stick to their systems and standards.
The second half saw a late send off for the
Dolphins that the Crusher were able to capitalise on.
With the Dolphins being a man down and the intensity gone out of the game, The Crushers managed to score some consolation points with the final score Peninsula Dolphins 30 to Bendigo Crushers 12.
Sunday saw Dolphins beating sharks
In another great day for being outdoors, the senior women’s Peninsula Dolphins rugby league tag side went to Arthur Beachley Reserve in Sunshine to take on the Geelong Sharks. With a few losses in a row the girls never lost belief in themselves, remaining upbeat and confident in training that wins will come if they work for it.
Last Sunday afternoon (2 August) proved them right when they produced some of the best rugby league they have played all year. With intensity and drive from start to end they rode the wave of momentum and didn’t back off. With combinations , speed and footwork working and the energy high through the team they continued to work for each other never giving Geelong Sharks a chance to get in the game. It was an all round great team effort that they can all be extremely proud of with the final score being Peninsula Dolphins 22 to Geelong Sharks 6

Scoreboard
Langy, Skye, Baxter in trouble
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
LANGWARRIN, Skye United and Baxter are staring down the barrel of relegation.
In a dismal season for local clubs only Mornington retains a genuine chance of promotion while Mentone already is relegated from State 6 and Mount Martha looks condemned to finish in the bottom two in State 7.
Langwarrin blew a 2-0 lead at Lawton Park on Saturday and missed a golden opportunity to leapfrog opponent Brunswick City eventually going down 4-3 and ending a crazy helterskelter VPL1 clash with just nine players.
Langy led after seven minutes when Brad Blumenthal was at the back post to tap in a low cross from Sayed Fatemi.
Provider turned scorer five minutes later when a fine ball over the top by Rogan McGeorge was chested down superbly by Fatemi in full flight then slammed home.
It should have been 3-0 in the 20th minute but Scott Lochhead headed over from a pinpoint Fatemi cross.
In the 35th minute Joe Tweats was shown a second yellow card and Langy found itself in a precarious situation.
More so a few minutes into the second half when Kamil Hegazi was allowed to break forward inside his attacking half before hammering a low shot from just outside the area that beat Langy keeper Branton Kindler at his near post.
The lack of pressure on Hegazi was alarming and it was no surprise when the equaliser came in the 75th minute when a cutback from the right was inadvertently turned into his own goal by Langy defender Ben Mason.
Traintafilos Skapetis put the visitors ahead in the 80th minute but Fatemi levelled for the 10 men two minutes later.
Ryo Takahashi was playing his last game for Langwarrin before returning to Japan and he was booked in the 87th minute but kept arguing and was given a second yellow and dismissed.
Skapetis drove a final nail into Langy’s coffin when he accepted a gift from Kindler who had stopped a shot by palming the ball into Skapetis’s path.
Langwarrin’s remaining three games are against Western United (A), Melbourne Knights (A) and North Geelong (H).
Skye United could hear the fat lady doing her vocal warm-up after Satur-
day’s 4-2 home loss to Hampton East Brighton in State 1.
Despite starting the better of the sides Skye went 1-0 behind in the 14th minute from a Nicholas Walker freekick.
The hosts levelled three minutes after the break when an Artim Bakis ball across the face was steered in by Marcus Spivey.
But Skye was left seething five minutes later when Spivey was brought down inside the box after he broke through on a one-on-one.
The assistant flagged for a foul but the referee overruled and waved play on.
Two goals in seven minutes from Delfin Mosibe Esara and Walker had the visitors 3-1 up but Daniel Attard pulled one back in the 72nd minute after Spivey laid off a ball to him on the edge of the box.
Skye pushed for an equaliser and was caught on the break in injury time when Walker secured his hat-trick.
Skye’s remaining four games are against Collingwood City (A), South Springvale (H), St Kilda (A) and Banyule City (H).
Baxter battled hard but still lost 3-0 at home to Chelsea in Saturday’s State 4 local derby.
The visitors led 1-0 at half-time after star striker James Stinson’s sharp turn and left-foot finish from just inside the box in the 18th minute.
Adam Dunsford made it 2-0 in the 51st minute when he headed in from a Luke D’Alessandro corner and Stinson completed the job in the 76th minute when he was quickest to react to a shot parried by Baxter keeper Colby

Jones.
Baxter’s remaining games are against Monash University (A), Springvale City (H), Ringwood City (A) and Rosebud (H).
Mornington strengthened its push for second spot in State 1 with a hardfought 2-1 away victory over Banyule City on Saturday.
The Seagulls opened the scoring in the 27th minute when Lachy Candy calmly finished a well-worked attacking move to give the visitors a deserved lead heading into the break.
Banyule came out with intent in the second half and threw everything at Mornington but the Seagulls’ defence stood firm.
The introduction of fresh legs was needed and Campbell Steedman proved crucial injecting pace into the side at an important stage of the match.
Mornington doubled its advantage in the 81st minute when Steedman made an immediate impact by finishing from a tight angle to make it 2-0.
Banyule looked set to be denied until the final minute when midfielder Evan Christodoulou rifled home a strike from the edge of the box.
Despite the late goal Mornington remained composed to see out the match and secure a massive three points on the road.
In State 2 Peninsula Strikers lost 4-1 away to Gippsland United in a match marred by controversial refereeing decisions.
Gippsland striker Bayden Heusmann had a day out finishing with four goals.
Sonny Lindsay scored for Strikers.
In State 4 Rosebud lost 2-0 away to
promoted Springvale City on Friday night.
In a dour match of few opportunities Springvale showed why it sits on top of the league by maximising set piece chances and scoring once in each half from corners.
In State 5 Somerville Eagles lost 4-2 away to title favourite Monash City Villareal while Seaford United had a fine 5-2 away win over relegation battler Mount Waverley City.
Joe Hitchcock and Max Watson scored for Somerville.
Seaford striker Dylan Waugh broke the deadlock against Mount Waverley in the 28th minute when he converted from the penalty spot after being brought down inside the box.
The home team shocked Seaford with two goals in two minutes and led at half-time.
Two minutes into the second half a low cross from Jayden Lebron was put away by an unmarked Zain Ahmad.
Two minutes later it was 3-2 when Seaford’s Conor McFall found Alex Roberts with a defence-splitting pass and he made no mistake.
Waugh scored his second with a header following a Roberts cross in the 86th minute and a comprehensive victory was completed by substitute Blake Hicks in the 91st minute when his low strike squeezed through the hands of the home team keeper.
Waugh had an injury-plagued start to the season but a nine-game scoring streak has taken him to 13 goals, one behind teammate Ahmad and two behind league leading scorer Tom Simmons of Somerville.
Waugh has now scored 96 goals during his Seaford career.
In State 6 Mount Eliza’s promotion journey hit a major road bump when it lost 2-1 at home to Old St Kevins on Saturday.
Josh Luca got the home side off to a flyer when he scored after three minutes but by half-time St Kevins had hit back twice and kept Mount Eliza at bay in the second half.
Mentone lost 5-0 away to Old Ivanhoe while Frankston Pines had a gritty
2-1 away win over Knox United last weekend.
Pines striker Kenny Akalan opened the scoring on 12 minutes after an excellent interpassing move.
Nas Mohammad fed the overlapping run of left-back Kyan Taberner who crossed the ball into the middle for Akalan to finish into the bottom corner.
In the 59th minute Kevin Derry fed the overlapping run of right-back Archie Thomas who delivered a superb cross to the back post for Mohammad to nod home.
Knox bullied its way back into the game when another long ball through the middle wasn’t dealt with and former Pines midfielder Nickel Chand slid the ball under advancing Pines goalkeeper Nicholas Ambor in the 66th minute.
But Pines dug in for the remainder of the match and deserved the three points.
In State 7 Aspendale drew 2-2 at home to title candidate Keysborough last weekend.
Aspendale led on 11 minutes when Jack Gallagher’s well-struck shot from outside the box squirmed under keeper Dean Hadijiantoni.
Keysborough levelled in the 28th minute when Aidid Yassin was allowed to turn and finish.
But the home side made it 2-1 in the 38th minute when Oscar Carter pounced on a back pass and rounded Hadijiantoni then finished from a tight angle.
Keysborough replied in the 55th minute when Yassin headed home from a free-kick with the referee overruling the assistant’s flag for offside.
Mount Martha lost 4-1 away to league leader Noble Suns on Saturday with Ryan Demase scoring for the visitors.
Next weekend is a catch-up round and all eyes turn to Mornington’s chase for promotion.
The Seagulls play Collingwood City on Tuesday (tonight) at Knox Regional Football Centre then take on Banyule City on Saturday at Centenary Park. Mornington is trying to snare second spot in State 1 South-East and earn a play-off against the State 1 NorthWest runner-up for a place in next year’s VPL2 competition.
