Sea change for school Pupils at Diggers Rest Primary School will be heading under the sea for their first ever performance. The pupils have spent the past six months preparing for the school’s inaugural whole school production of The he Little Mermaid Junior to be held on Thursday. Arts co-ordinator Taryn Paterra said the musical has been a massive effort and was sold-out. “The children have been dedicating six months of their time to this,” she said. “Diggers Rest Primary School has always been such a small school, which meant that something so spectacular as this has never been possible before. As our numbers are rapidly growing, we now have enough students and staff expertise to pull something like this all together.” JAYLAH, SARAHZETTE, SOPHIE AND COOPER

Sunbury’s state of decay By Esther Lauaki Patients are waiting for up to 36 months for general dental care as Sunbury Community Health struggles to keep up with demand in the area, new data shows. Data from Dental Health Services Victoria, released under freedom of information to the state opposition, shows that patients in the public dental system face excessive wait times. The figures showed that Sunbury Community Health had 1683 people on its waiting list at the end of May. The average wait time in the 12 months to May for general dental care was 36 months
– more than twice the state average of 15.5 months. Sunbury Community Health aged care and clinical services general manager Julie Landy told Star Weekly that rapid population growth in Sunbury had significantly increased demand on the dental service. “With four state-funded dental chairs, we are unable to meet this demand, causing waiting times for general care to increase,” she said. “Based on population projections, Sunbury Community Health requires seven dental chairs to adequately service Sunbury and surrounds.”
‘‘
We are unable to meet this demand
’’
- Julie Landy
Despite the shortfall, Ms Landy said that many emergency cases are seen within 24 hours and children do not wait for dental care. “Sunbury Community Health provides a public dental service for children and adults, including emergency, general and denture care,” Ms Landy said. “People who are in pain are seen as emergency patients and do not wait for months
or even weeks. “Children are not placed on a wait list but are offered the next available appointment.” In May this year Health Minister Jill Hennessy announced additional funding to ‘blitz’ waiting lists before the end of the financial year. Ms Landy said the funding would enable Sunbury Community Health to offer care to more than 700 people currently on the dental waiting list. Opposition MP Mary Wooldridge urged the health minister to publish waiting list numbers and times by clinic so the full extent of the problem is available for all.

Labor sports precinct pledge By Esther Lauaki The Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct could be a step closer with the state government making an election pledge of $5.6 million towards its first stage of development. Premier Daniel Andrews last Friday announced the funding, which would get stage one of the precinct, the New Gisborne Regional Sports Field project, off the ground. Macedon Ranges council’s sports precinct plan includes a new grass oval, a synthetic surface sports field accommodating football,
soccer and cricket, a pavilion, new tennis and netball courts, outdoor gym equipment and play spaces, barbecues and a track for walking, cycling and running. The planned precinct will spread across two connecting sites in New Gisborne at the corner of Barringo and Hamilton roads and will benefit communities from across the region. Mr Andrews said that with participation rates in the region being above the state average for AFL and cricket, and a growing local population, the Macedon Ranges needed new facilities.
‘‘
It’s extremely important to us and the project

“Right now, local sporting spaces are chock-a-block, with Gardiner Reserve hosting 20 football teams and more than 30 cricket teams,” he told representatives from local sports clubs at New Gisborne last week. “Growing up in country Victoria, I know how much local clubs matter. This investment

Melbourne newspaper The Sun broke news of the German surrender on Tuesday, May 8, 1945 with the headline “Unconditional surrender by Germans to all allies - War ends in Europe”.

Almost a month has passed since fire consumed Durrol House, a 117-year-old hill station on Mount Macedon. But the hope of finding a loyal 15-year-old dog missing since the blaze lives on. Efforts to reunite Sienna, the chocolate brown Lagotto Romagnolo poodle, with her 96-year-old owner, Karin Mackinnon, have been ongoing since their home was destroyed on July 11. “It’s just snowballed, really,” said one of Mrs Mackinnon’s former carers, Wendy Wright. She said up to 50 people were out looking for Sienna after a number of reported sightings. She said tracking dogs picked up Sienna’s scent on August 4 at Middle Gully Road in Macedon. Those leading the search are hopeful Sienna is headed home. Ms Wright said Sienna would arrive home to find a kennel containing an item of Mrs Mackinnons and a bowl of food. A gardener regularly visits the property and would be able to let the family know the dog had returned. Ms Wright said one of Mrs Mackinnon’s sons, Andrew, had also been out searching for the dog. “I’m convinced we’ll find her,” she said. Sienna’s story has travelled, prompting offers of help from far and wide. Ms Wright said she was grateful for people’s generosity. More than 30 firefighters and 10 appliances turned out to the fire, which was believed to be caused by a burning log rolling out of one of the many fireplaces in the house. – Bendigo Advertiser

Long term vision for lake forest By Esther Lauaki Land around Sanatorium Lake will be revegetated after almost a hectare of trees, some more than 100 years old, were removed earlier this year by Parks Victoria. Residents were outraged when Parks Victoria removed trees in Macedon Regional Park as part of a rehabilitation program. The authority has since met with Mt Macedon Horticultural Society president Stephen Ryan to discuss ways to restore the area.
“I don’t think that Parks Victoria realised the cultural heritage and significance of the sight to the local community,” Mr Ryan told Star Weekly. “My long-term vision is to get some exotic trees planted in there so that future generations can come through and look up and say, ‘What beautiful exotic trees’.” Mr Ryan said he was hoping to meet again with Parks Victoria to discuss possible outcomes. Parks Victoria district manager Tony English said that invasive aspen poplar trees
were “outcompeting” native vegetation and reducing habitat for native fauna and flora. “Parks Victoria has a responsibility to ensure that weeds and pests do not encroach on the environmental and natural values of our parks,” Mr English said. “Parks Victoria appreciates the importance of Macedon Regional Park to the community. “We look forward to working with interested locals to ensure they continue to enjoy the park, and that its vegetation reflects the importance of the area’s heritage and biodiversity values.
“When completed, the visitor area and surrounds will look like other healthy native tall mountain forest within the Macedon Ranges.” Mt Macedon resident Stanley Ziolkowski last week sent a letter to local MP Amanda Miller stating that the removal of the trees was “undeniably a negative exercise for all”. “It would have been better to simply thin out the trees and introduce native species to co-exist on the waterways,” Mr Ziolkowski said.
Hit the ground running John Mallia is cruising through life right now. The Sunbury car enthusiast will be driving his 1938 Wolseley convertible to Adelaide next month for the Bay to Birdwood Run. Now in its 38th year, the event will start from Barratt Reserve on September 30 and will feature veteran, vintage, and early classic motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks and commercial vehicles built on or before December 31, 1959. Mr Mallia said his love for classic cars began in the ’80s. “I have five Wolseleys from between 1932 and 1964 and also a 1964 TR4 Triumph,” he said. “A 1951 6/80 Wolseley was given to me in the mid ’80s by a friend and I liked it, so I joined the Wolseley car club and now I’m president of the Wolseley Car Club of Victoria. “I’ve restored six cars since and my love for restoring cars went from there.” Mr Mallia has been road tripping to the Bay to Birdwood Run for the past decade.
“I was asked to tag along with a friend all those years ago,” he said. “It’s a fascinating outing and people dress up in the period costumes. “The streets of Adelaide are amazing and they’re lined with people. “I love it because there are so many makes and models and the years of these cars makes it so interesting.” Bay to Birdwood chair Michael Neale said one event highlight is the veteran vehicles manufactured prior to 1919 and military vehicles manufactured up to December 1959. “This … will make a great commemorative display marking the centenary of the end of the Great War,” Mr Neale said. The Bay to Birdwood raises funds for its charity partner the Flinders Foundation. Early bird registrations close on August 20. Esther Lauaki

Ambulance response improving By Esther Lauaki Ambulances are arriving at code one emergencies in the Macedon Ranges quicker, latest figures shows. June quarter ambulance data, released recently, revealed that 65.2 per cent of ambulances were arriving at code one emergencies within 15 minutes, compared with 63.4 per cent in the previous June quarter.
Effectively, the average time in Macedon Ranges improved by nearly 54 seconds. Ambulance Victoria Gisborne manager Tim Fraser said he was proud of the result. “We are the smallest unit in the Macedon Ranges, but we have a growing community so we are really busy,” Mr Fraser said. The Gisborne station operates only from Thursday to Sunday and is the only one in the Macedon Ranges that is not open 24 hours.

“We could be more efficient, manned 24 hours,” Mr Fraser said. “We have a team member who goes home in an ambulance and is on call … it’s a 10-hour shift.” Macedon MP Mary Anne Thomas said that
the improved response times were reassuring for residents. “Victorians can have every confidence that paramedics are providing the best of care and will be on scene quicker than ever. “It’s fantastic that our ambulances response times keep improving in the Macedon Ranges.” Statewide, 83.8 per cent of all code one call-outs arrived at emergencies within 15 minutes in the June quarter – an average of 11 minutes and 12 seconds after being called out.
Ranges futsal kicks on Macedon Ranges Futsal is home to some of the most talented young players in the state and the association is looking for more people to join. Started 20 year ago, the association has grown to more than 450 players across more than 50 teams ranging from under-8s through to open age. MR Futsal president Brett Sinnett said it was an exciting time for the association. “In recent years we have seen a boom in our representative program thanks to the pathways offered by the Australian Futsal Association and the development our players have experienced through our academy. “We have sent teams in all age groups to regional and state league competitions, winning two titles and multiple runner-up trophies. “We’ve had over 30 players represent Vic Country at national tournaments in Sydney and Brisbane, and more than 10 players represent Australia at various international tournaments around the world.
“We expect this number to continue to rise in the future.” Macedon Ranges Futsal has established it’s own academy training program for junior players to develop their skills which has been implemented by Jake Francis, who is widely regarded as one of the most talented futsal players and coaches in Victoria. The club also has a dedicated referee development program and is hoping, like their players, they will get the opportunity at higher levels. The summer season will start at the beginning of term four. Registrations are now open. Sinnett said they were happy to accept teams or individuals and were keen to increase the numbers of female players.

Hume artist digs deep Sunbury artist Elly-Louise Tyquin’s exploration of her emotions through her work has earned her an arts award. The 23-year-old, who is completing a masters degree in fine arts at RMIT, won a Hume Arts Award for her age group. Tyquin used several different mediums – including digital art, soft sculpture and the written word – in the works she entered. “It’s about exploring a few different concepts … particularly architecture and large-scale abstract installation,” she said. One of Tyquin’s pieces was from her exhibition, The Unfurling of Grief, which explored her feelings after the death of her mother, Rachel Tyquin, who was 44 when she was fatally stabbed in Sunbury in 2016.

Farewell to a Woodend stalwart In October 2012, the Victorian Parliament made a formal apology to the women and children who were victims of the forced adoption policies of the past; it was a response to the tireless work and the pain and suffering of people such as Jo Clancy. Thirty years earlier she had founded Australia’s – as far as her family knows, the world’s – first relinquishing-mother self-help group with the words: “We have endured a gulag of suffering.” That aspect of her life was a significant factor, but it never defined her. She was, among other things, a mother, an activist, healthcare professional, quiz champion, environmentalist, grandmother and friend to many. As the seventh of nine children, she would always have to find her ways to stand out from the crowd, and Jo generally managed that task with her combination of quick wit, candid opinion and formidable voice. Visitors to the Clancy family home, first in Brighton and later in Hampton, were struck by the volume and vigour of dinner table conversations, where each opinion was liable to be loudly respected and challenged in equal measure. She attended Star of the Sea in Gardenvale before beginning a science degree at Melbourne University and later taking up nursing, working in midwifery at the Mercy Maternity Hospital, where she made life-long friendships. This work had a particular poignancy for Jo, who, along with many other unmarried women of her generation, had succumbed to religious and societal pressure and gave up her first child, Kate, for adoption. When her second daughter, Ruth, arrived in 1969 Jo was determined to raise her child herself. As a founding member of the Council for the Single Mother and her Child, Jo became a committed advocate for the rights of single

women and their families at a time when the odds and the laws were stacked against them. Later, the Australian Relinquishing Mothers Sisterhood was the last piece of the jigsaw of adoptees and adoptive parents seeking to change the laws to enable adoptees to be reunited with their biological parents. The publicity generated also played a part in Jo’s reunion with Kate. Around the same time, Jo had a life-changing
experience that allowed her to put her vast general knowledge and competitive instincts to work. She became one of the early champions on the TV show Sale of the Century, winning two cars before electing not to take the risk of one more night for the possibility of winning all the prizes. That victory allowed Jo to buy her first home. At home, which she shared with her sisters Barbara and Kathleen, as well as her mother
Hazel, raising second daughter Ruth was a family affair. The challenges brought by Asperger’s syndrome added complications, but with Barb serving as a foster mother for some 40 children at various times, it was a case of many hands making light work. After Ruth had finished school, the pair moved to the country, first to Kyneton with Jo’s brother Bill and family, and later to Woodend. It proved to be the best move of her life, as the community embraced them both. Around this time Jo met and married Des Rycroft, but their marriage was short-lived as Des, a flying instructor, was killed in an ultralight crash. It was another sad blow for Jo in a life that contained more than its share, but she came through it with strength and determination. That spirit found perhaps its perfect outlet in the Woodend community, most notably the local Landcare, where Jo’s love of nature could stretch beyond her garden, and her passion for activism was given free rein. Occupying many leadership roles, she put her energies into networking, through Rotary, Lions, the Heritage Society, U3A, the Landcare Network, Catchment Management Authority and the council. Some of this work received official recognition in 2016 when her favourite stretch of rail reserve was officially assessed to be rich in botanical significance. Jo Clancy suffered heart failure and passed away earlier this year with her sister Eveline and nephew Jacob by her side, and surrounded by the love of her large extended family. She is now reunited with her daughter Ruth and siblings Pat, Barb, Bill, Jack, Kath, Laurie and Paul. – The Ag Age ~ Submitted by Rob Clancy, Josephine Clancy’s nephew

Sunbury residents are calling for the town’s bus services to be extended to the Sunbury Fields and Rosenthal estates. The Sunbury Residents Association recently wrote to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Hume mayor Geoff Porter calling for a review of local bus services. In the letter, association president Peter Free said residents were keen to see buses travel along Elizabeth Drive into the Sunbury Fields and Rosenthal estates, which include more than 1700 houses. “The recent completion of Elizabeth Drive, connecting to Vineyard Road in the southern extent, and the extension of Elizabeth Drive, connecting to Racecourse Road in the northern extent, provides an opportunity to reconsider the bus routes to better service these new residential communities,” he said. Speaking to Star Weekly Weekly, Mr Free said people living in Sunbury Fields and Rosenthal did not have access to public transport. “Sunbury Fields is the main area of concern,” he said. “People who work in Melbourne and take the train are having to drive to the station at the moment. “Maybe people would start using buses more if the routes were improved.” A spokesman for Transport for Victoria said bus networks were regularly reviewed, including those in growth areas and new developments, to identify opportunities to improve existing bus services or plan new ones. “These reviews consider several factors, including sustainability of the road network, connecting existing and new communities to key destinations, and to other public transport services,” the spokesman said.

Call out for firefighters Sunbury firefighters are needed for the upcoming fire season. Forest Fire Management Victoria has begun recruiting project firefighters across the state. More than 120 positions will be offered in the Hume region. Hume assistant chief fire officer Jarrod Hayse said project firefighters play a vital role in keeping communities and the environment safe from bushfires. “Across the state there are over 300 project firefighter summer positions available, as well as 18 designated positions for applicants who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander,” Mr Hayse said. “These frontline forest firefighters are an important addition to our resources.”
More than 1000 frontline forest firefighters will be supported by 2000 staff from across various government departments. “Project firefighters respond to bushfires, support seasonal planned burning preparation and delivery, undertake roadside vegetation and fire trail maintenance,” Mr Hayse said. “Successful recruits will learn new skills and make a significant contribution to their local community.” These jobs will be based at Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Parks Victoria offices and depots in regional Victoria.

MY PLACE Gary Dwyer has spent nearly 20 years coaching Auskick in Woodend. He talks to Esther Lauaki about his love for sports.
My wife’s family presence in Woodend goes back to 1859 farming on land that is now Shirley Park and have been in the town ever since, so we feel that we belong. How long have you lived in the area? We have lived here since February 2000 What are you passionate about? There are different types of passion, but first and foremost my family is my number one passion. I am also passionate about kids being active and involved in the community. How long have you been involved with Auskick and what was your role? I began with Auskick when we first came to Woodend 18 years ago, as coach and co-ordinator, it was a great way for a daily city commuter to meet people. I have made many great friendships through Auskick. How did you become involved with Auskick in Woodend? The previous co-ordinator found out that I was a Richmond tragic like himself and knew that I needed some football joy and Auskick was the answer. What’s your football background? I started playing under-10s in 1972 and
continued playing until 1990. Playing VFL under-19s at Carlton VFA with Coburg, VAFA with Ivanhoe and at Golden Square in the BFL. I am also proudly a life member of the Calder Cannons Football Club. What other hats do you wear in the community? Apart from Auskick, my current community involvement is working in education support at St Ambrose Parish Primary School here in Woodend. I have also been a coach of my children’s basketball and netball teams and on the committee of the Woodend Hawks junior football club. What would people be surprised to know about you? Things get a little confusing with my name people know me as Joel but my real name is Gary. What is the best thing about living in the Macedon Ranges? I love the fact that we are only 45 minutes from Melbourne but we are surrounded by bush, mountains and farmland as well as great people. If you could change anything about the area, what would it be? (Marco De Luca)
What is your connection to the Macedon Ranges?
We all have to accept change, but only gradual change, there needs to be a point of difference from suburbia. Unique and slow Woodend suits me.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir is bowled over by a new eatery Yarraville village’s long-standing Chinese restaurant has gone. Truth is, it went some time ago and Coracle has taken a while to arise at the same location. The place is beautifully fitted out, mostly in blacks and whites and pale wood, with the big windows letting the light pour in. In the months leading up to its unveiling, the name alone conveyed little information about what would be the nature of the new place … so the outcome is a bit of a surprise. Let’s call it, definitely for want of a better phrase, Asian fusion. There’s a nice, tight list of breakfast items on the menu; and there’s brunchy things such as Vietnamese-style poached salad and “Super Green Gyoza”. There’s banh mi, too. Yes, $10 is a whack more than you’ll pay for banh mi in Footscray or St Albans, but the ones we see being inhaled around us look fabulous. The more substantial heart of the menu, though, is the line-up of seven Coracle Bowls. Yes, these are by way of the poke bowl trend – but Coracle’s efforts transcend just about all else we’ve tried. On the one hand, the Coracle kitchen crew appear to work with the same basic toppings for each bowl offering, with individual tweaks as advertised. On the other, there are super smarts at work here that kick our meals – three bowls over two visits – up and into the realms of magic. The bento bowl ($17) is brilliant in every way.
CORACLE CAFE RESTAURANT Address: 63-65 Anderson Street, Yarraville Phone: 9315 1411 The foundational success of every Coracle bowl very much appears to be the nuttiness of the brown rice bases. But the excellent toppings complete the job by sheer dint of quality and – equally important – by their deft apportioning. Dressed salmon cubes, kale in sesame oil, two kinds of pickle, tobiko, broad beans, seaweed salad and more – all taste as mighty fine as they look. Bennie enjoys his Korean bowl ($16.50), with excellent bulgogi beef. Though he opines that more by way of starker flavour and texture contrast would’ve made him even happier. The vegan bowl ($16.50) is good, too, though what are listed as “tempura seasonal vegetables” are quite a long way from crunchy battered. We are having such a fine Saturday lunch time we go the whole hog with the Coracle brownies ($6). These don’t look anything special. But the eating of what is both moist and chewy is of immense, top-quality choc pleasure. The brownies are sluiced down with very good cafe lattes ($4). Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

Known as Gisborne Cherry Farm for decades, and now as Bogelburn Farm, this enchanting property of about 4.05 hectares has infrastructure in place for all kinds of rural undertakings – irrigation system, two sheds, a cool room and a shed with machinery bays. As well, there are two dams, water tanks galore, a recycled water licence and 10kW solar system. Along with a study, the house, with verandah on three sides, has four bedrooms, the main with walk-through robe and modern en suite. A large carpeted dining room has a wood heater, as does the family room, which has a rough-hewn stone feature wall. The kitchen-diner, the true heart of the house, has abundant pot drawers, glass splashback, wall oven and 900mm cooktop. The laundry/mud room is a good size. The heart of Gisborne is an eight-minute drive away.
A four-minute drive into town and Grange Winery behind the back fence add considerably to the desirability of Belair Park, a property of about 5.67 hectares. The country-style residence has three fitted bedrooms, the main with an en suite. A spacious family-meals area has floorboards, while a carpeted lounge room sits under an angled timber ceiling with exposed beams. The kitchen has loads of white cupboards, plenty of bench space and stainless-steel wall oven, cooktop and dishwasher. Two split-systems and bottled gas ducted heating provide climate control. As well as a front verandah, there’s a deck out back – each great for soaking up rural views and vibes. The property, ideal for horses and other critters, also has a double carport, a large Colorbond shed, an even bigger three-bay hayshed, a dog pen and tank and dam water.

Tranquil and picturesque it may be, but the property is also ready for work. There are paddocks with electric fences, troughs and shelters, plus a stockyard, a good-sized

shed with adjoining dog enclosure and a big chook shed. The house, built in the late ’70s/early ’80s when they were made to last, has all its original features and lends itself well to adding an upper storey to take advantage of – and live up to – those peerless views. Entry is under an elevated porch and through a door with amber sidelights to a carpeted entry way. Double doors on the right reveal a spacious lounge room with timber dado walls and large windows, the latter a feature all through. Another set of double doors ushers in the dining room, which has a gas log fire set in
a wall of white-painted brickwork; there’s also a split-system in here. Then a third set opens to the kitchen-meals zone. A stainless-steel wall oven, 900mm electric cooktop and step-in pantry are kitchen features, with tiling reflecting its earlier era. A tiled back verandah has been enclosed as a north-facing sunroom, a nice spot to sit and soak up the views. It accesses a walled courtyard where camellias and other ornamental shrubs add pretty greenery. A hallway from the kitchen and entry way leads past a large laundry, separate toilet and the main bathroom with heated towel

The property also has a double carport, ADSL2 connection, and Macedon town water believed to be the best drinking water around. The train station and Montessori and Holy Cross Primary schools are within three-minute car trips, as are the food treats and cinema at Baringo Village. Carole Levy

Grit, determination wins out for Sunbury Kangaroos The Sunbury Kangaroos got some reward for effort with an upset win against Macedon in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday. Having had a tough and disappointing season, the Kangaroos showed that they can match it with the better sides when they play well. In a low scoring game, the Kangaroos hung on when the Cats rallied late, winning 6.6 (42)-5.9 (39). Kangaroos coach Anthony Leydin said the win was the result of sheer grit and determination and a willingness to get to every contest. He said they did a lot right in the win – the first time they have won a close game. “There was a lot of water on the ground and it was a bit slippery and heavy,” he said.
‘‘
We’ve built resilience which will help next year
’’
- Anthony Leydin
“It was a high defensive game and hard to score, which suited our style. “We got out to a 15-point lead at one stage, before they kicked a couple of goals. We were able to hold on. “We were able to convert a few chances up forward, which we had squandered a few in other games.” With finals already out of the equation, Leydin said they had been searching for motivation for the past few rounds, and it was the players themselves who found it.
The Kangaroos had lost their past four games. “It’s been a pretty disappointing year for a number of reasons, but we’ve built resilience which will help next year.” Dwayne Tate was the only multiple goalscorer for the Kangaroos, kicking two goals. Leydin said it was a good team effort with everyone contributing at times. He said the standouts were Matthew Wallace, Daniel Gregory, Braiden Wilson, John Corso and Christian Monaco. The win, the Kangaroos best of the season, has them sitting ninth, with five wins. The Kangaroos finish their season with a clash against Rockbank. On paper, it looks like an easy win for the Kangaroos but Leydin said they can’t take that game for granted.
For Macedon, it’s their third loss in four rounds. They look likely to finish the regular season in fifth. Meanwhile, the fight for the sixth and last finals position will go down to the final round. With Woodend-Hesket defeating Rockbank, 26.19 (175)-3.10 (28) and Romsey losing to Riddell, 9.14 (68)-7.8 (50), it means Woodend-Hesket will enter the final round sitting in sixth, percentage above Romsey. The Hawks this week face Riddell, while the Redbacks face Broadford. The Hawks will need to upset the Bombers, who haven’t lost since round three if they are to make finals. In other results, Rupertswood, Wallan and Diggers Rest all had big wins. The Sharks win sealed a top two finish for the side. Tara Murray

Sunbury United kept the pressure on the top sides in FFV state league 3 north-west with a 2-0 win against La Trobe University. Sunbury opened the scoring in the 26th minute through Sime Brzoja and nearly made it 2-0 six minutes later. Sunbury found itself a man down when goalkeeper Rory Curran was red-carded and sent from the field. Sunbury resisted the pressure, before getting a second goal through Jayden Mercieca. In state league 5 west, Gisborne had a 2-2 draw with Barwon.

Sunbury Kangaroos have fallen short at the last hurdle in the Essendon District Football League Women’s competition. Facing undefeated Pascoe Vale, the Kangaroos were found wanting in the first half. Once they got their game together in the second half, they were unable to apply any scoreboard pressure. The more experienced Panthers proved why they are the premiership favourites, winning 6.11 (47)-0.1 (1). Kangaroos coach Allan Walter said while the result is disappointing, they were beaten by a better side. “You have to pay credit, where credit is due,” he said. “Pascoe Vale is a good side and they seem to be a lot fitter and more experienced than us.
We have 13 girls that have either played one or two years of football. “I’m so proud of everyone and what they’ve achieved since they’ve been together.” Walters said it was the first quarter that proved to be the difference. While the Panthers only kicked 2.3 in the first quarter, they were able to get on top and were never really challenged. He said he was happy with how they played in the second half, but a bit frustrated at not being able to put anything on the scoreboard. “I think we were a bit shocked and star struck and it took us a half to get going,” he said. “In the second half everyone was accountable, everyone did their job.” The standouts for the Kangaroos were Brittany Mifsud, Paige Micallef-Grimaud and Bronte Koutras. Mifsud went onto leading goalkicker Siobhan Carlton after quarter-time, while Micallef-Grimaud was in nearly every
contest in the second half. Koutras provided a target and put on plenty of tackling pressure. Despite the loss, Walters said he was proud with what the side had achieved this year. The Kangaroos won their first final and only lost to two teams, Pascoe Vale and Burnside Heights. “You can never doubt everyone having a crack,” he said. “It’s been hard changing leagues. Being two years old and being in two different leagues. “This year we were up against the unknown and didn’t know about any of the sides. Hopefully we’ll learn from that and keep the group together and look forward to next year.” Pascoe Vale will face Burnside Heights in the grand final. The Bears won through with a 3.6 (24)-3.4 (22) win against Westmeadows. Meanwhile, the Sunbury Lions won through to their under-15 girls grand final. They join their under-18 side which had already won through.
Romsey’s Ben Way has been named captain of the Victorian Country Cricket League Team of the Year for the 2017-18 season. Way, who was captain-coach for the Redbacks last season, was selected based on his performances in the Gisborne District Cricket Association last season. During the season, he made 820 runs at an average of 91.11. Bacchus Marsh’s Madushanka Ekanayake was also named the team.

Sunbury youth league men knocked out in a thriller Sunbury Jets’ hopes of a first Big V youth league men’s championship are over, after a shattering loss on Saturday night. Having lost game one of the division 1 grand finals series to Waverley Falcons by a point, the Jets were hoping to turn it around on their home court at the weekend. Just like the first game of the series, this one was a thriller. Neither side was able to get a lead greater than seven points and the highest run of points was nine. In the end the match, and ultimately the championship, was decided in overtime after scores were locked at 78 at the end of regular time. The Falcons saved their best ’til last, outscoring the Jets 12-6 in the extra period to seal a 90-84 victory. The Falcons took the lead at quarter-time, after the two teams went goal for goal. The Jets looked like they were getting on top in the second quarter, outscoring the Falcons
28 to 20 and taking a five-point lead into the main break. The margin was back to two points at the final break. The Jets managed to get the margin out to seven points with just under three minutes remaining, but the Falcons had one last push to regain the lead. The Jets again hit the front and Dylan Larkin had the chance to take it back for the Falcons with 22 seconds remaining. He hit one of his two free throws to level the scores. The Jets got the first goal of overtime, before the Falcons took over and ran away with the win. Captain Nathan Baker put in a massive effort playing all 45 minutes. He scored 26 points and had nine rebounds and five assists. Kyle Collins had 21 points, while Nathan Marshall and Ivanne Loncaric both scored 12 points. Jets coaching director Kennedy Kereama
said making the grand final had been a massive achievement. The youth league men’s side is one of three Jets sides that has made Big V grand finals. The youth league women’s side starts its grand final series this weekend, while the state championship women’s side starts its the weekend after. “I’m very proud of the youth league men’s effort,” Kereama said. “I’m devastated with the result … But they can hold their heads up high. “To have three teams playing in grand finals is such a huge effort. Not many clubs have the opportunity to play finals.” Tara Murray

Three-peat within reach By Tara Murray Sunbury Jets remarkable run has continued, with the side through to a third straight Big V women’s grand final series. After claiming division 1 and then state championship titles in the past two years, the Jets are looking to make some more history this season. While the Jets had two chances to win through to the grand final series, they only needed one, beating Knox Raiders on Saturday night. In a game which could have gone either way, the Jets won 63-59. Coach Kennedy Kereama said a win like that was a nice way to finish the week. “It was a really good game from both sides,” he said. “It was what we anticipated and we expected a game with lots of runs. I’m particularly proud of how we focused down the straight. “Now we are a couple of games off possibly a championship.” The two teams traded leads throughout the game, with the Jets starting well before the Raiders came back at them. At three-quarter time the Raiders, who had finished on top of the ladder, led by four points. The Jets turned up the defensive pressure in the final quarter, to win it 14-6 and take the win. Kereama said the side’s experience and ability to lift in the final quarter was the difference. “To hold them to six points was a nice surprise,” he said. “The experience shone through down the stretch. I can’t commend the defensive efforts enough, it’s the reason why we came out on the right side.” Josie Stockill top-scored with 16 points as all five starters scored between nine and 16. Elyse Penaluna had a double-double, while Chelsea Burns had nine points, 10 assists and three steals. Kereama said it was pleasing to have an even spread of scorers and it was a balanced act on the defensive end. The Jets used just seven players on the night, but Kereama was quick to praise the whole playing group. “Every player, whether they hit the floor or not, sill contributed. “We have got the experience to utilise and it was the best group for the situation. “The bench was really active in the game and was like a sixth man in the game … their communication was brilliant.” Kereama said the full extent of what they had achieved so far was yet to sink in. He said each of the past three seasons had been very different, but all amazing. “It’s what we have been aiming for all season long,” he said.

Peninsula Sharks. The first game of the grand final series will be held away, before game two and if needed game three, at Sunbury’s Boardman Stadium.
Jets aim for Big V history The Sunbury Jets rise up the Big V Youth League women’s ranks continues with the side through to a second straight grand final series. Having claimed the youth league division 2 title last season, the Jets have the opportunity to add the division 1 title to the trophy cabinet in coming weeks. Jets coach Andrew Seidel said he doesn’t think any side has ever claimed the youth league division 2 and 1 titles in successive years. The Jets are through to the grand final after overcoming a tough first half from the Geelong Supercats in game two of their semi-final series. Seidel said they showed that even when they aren’t playing well they could still stick with teams and lift a level when they needed to. “You can expect your opponent to come out all guns blazing and they threw everything at us,” he said. “To our credit, the girls weathered the storm despite not playing well in the first half. “Things didn’t go our way and we spoke about it at half-time – that it was important to get off to a good start in the third quarter. We were able to come away with the win.” The Jets won, 62-50. Chloe Angove was the star on the night, scoring 25 points and pulling down 16 rebounds. Seidel said she was the difference in the game. “I said to the girls at the end of the game that good teams are able to step up in these games, turn the game around, and I singled out Chloe. “Good players do special things at times like this.” Seidel said the playing group was excited after the win and that he couldn’t be much happier with them. The Jets now face Keilor Thunder in a best of three grand final series. Game one is at Sunbury with game two and three, if needed, at Keilor. Seidel said the two sides were the best sides all season and matched up well. He said they know several of the Thunder players, who are from Sunbury, including Emily Ellis who was the star in the Thunder’s semi-final series win. Tara Murray

Thunder win through to first finals appearance East Sunbury will play Essendon District Football League division 2 finals for the first time. The Thunder sealed a finals spot in the best way, knocking off top side Moonee Valley on Saturday. After been beaten by one point the past two weeks, the Thunder made sure it didn’t happen a third time. The Thunder held on to win 9.9 (63)-8.7 (55). Thunder coach Glenn Hopkins said they had learnt from the previous two rounds. “The most pleasing thing was getting the win after losing a couple of close ones at home,” he said. “We learnt from those games and were able to hold the game up more. We took the game on and tried to kick some goals. “We attacked and kept the ball done our end for a lot of the quarter.” Jorden Braddy and Connor Lever kicked two goals each for the Thunder. Hopkins said key players such as Braddy, Tom Cree, Kamen Ogilvie and Shane Lindsay,
were the standouts. He said they were the ones who controlled the ball in the last quarter when they needed to. Hopkins said the win was a step in the right direction. “They are getting their confidence back and they are back in love with footy,” he said. “They’re starting to play the footy we know they can play.” The excitement in the rooms after the game soon increased with the news that Burnside Heights had defeated Coburg Districts, which meant the Thunder were assured of a finals berth. It’s the first time the Thunder have made finals since joining the competition in 2013. Hopkins said there was excitement, but the job wasn’t done. They have a bye this week before facing Coburg Districts in the final round. “It’s good for the club and exciting for us,” he said. “We still have another game to play and we have to make sure we keep our feet on the ground.”
It was a big week for the Thunder, with the club announcing Hopkins had been appointed coach for next season. Hopkins took over mid season with Steve Grey stepping down from the role. He said it was good that the club had faith in him and he was keen to help the young group develop. The Thunder’s under-19s are also through to the finals. They kick off their campaign against Strathmore 2 on Saturday. The Thunder’s under-15 girls qualified for the grand final in their first season, while the under-11 boys took out a premiership on Sunday. Tara Murray

Lions finals hopes fade By Tara Murray The Sunbury Lions’ finals streak in the Ballarat Football League is likely to run out of legs this year. While the Lions are a mathematical chance of finishing in the top six, they would need a lot to fall their way and a form turnaround. The Lions are in eighth place, four points outside the top six. They will play fifth-placed Melton and sixth-placed Lake Wendouree in the final two rounds. The Lions’ tough times continued on Saturday against red-hot Bacchus Marsh. The Cobras kicked six goals to none in the first quarter and that set the tone for the rest of the day. The Lions never looked likely, with the Cobras winning 15.8 (98)-6.12 (48). Lions coach Ben Jordan said it was a better performance than in their previous outing against Darley – but still not enough. “A six goal to nothing first quarter, meant pretty much game over,” he said. “They won a lot of contested footy and stoppage ball early. “We talked about being accountable and I don’t think we were anywhere near good enough in that area early in the game. “If we were able to go in, couple of goals down, we might have given ourselves a bit of a look. “But, no – coming from too far back, they fully deserved it.” Jordan said once the Lions found themselves that far behind the eight ball, it was always going to be hard. He said the effort and intensity was better than displayed in the past few rounds, but in the end they made too many mistakes and were beaten around the contests. Jordan said several players played football of a reasonable standard without there being any real standouts. He said Patrick MacDonough and Reece Wood did good jobs down back, while Jack Hannett was clean with the football and Nathan Wood and Jack Landt showed glimpses. The loss is the Lions third in a row. Jordan said it was a disappointing position to be in. “The guys have worked hard and at this time of the season, you want to be hitting some form, ideally looking towards finals,” he said. While finals are still a chance, Jordan said they weren’t the coaching group’s focus. He said the desire was straightforward – to get back on the winners’ list. “We have two games ahead of us, Melton and Lake Wendouree,” he said. “It’s two games we have to win and we’ll look at where it leaves us if we win.

Sunbury Lion Jayden Eales looks to get the hit-out over Daniel Burton. (Shawn Smits)
“It’s [finals] not out of reach and we won’t say never. “As a coaching group, the focus is on improving and beating Melton this week.” The Lions’ A-grade netballers remain undefeated. But they were pushed all the way by Bacchus
Marsh, with the Lions eventuallly winning by 45-39. Renee Hulls shot 25 goals, having come up from B grade, while Ruth Smith shot 20 goals from 22 attempts. The win means the Lions will finish top, regardless of results in the final two rounds.
Gisborne is through for another week in the AFL Goldfields Women’s competition. The Bulldogs played out an elimination thriller against Bacchus Marsh in the battle between fourth and fifth at the weekend. Having beaten Bacchus Marsh twice before during the season, the Bulldogs took a lot of confidence into the game. Neither side as able to control the game and in the end it was the Bulldogs that were in front at the final siren, winning 4.7 (31)-4.4 (28). Jessica D’Antonio was the key target up forward for the Bulldogs, kicking three of her side’s four goals. Ashlee Knight, who kicked the other goal, was named the Bulldogs best, along with Neve Carrigg and Brianna Woodburn. The win sets up a knockout semi-final clash with Carisbrook which was smashed by East Point, 8.10 (58)-0.2 (2). The only time the Bulldogs and Carisbrook met back in round four, Carisbrook won by 17 points. East Point will face Redan in the other semi, with a spot in the grand final on the line. Redan had the weekend off, having finished on top of the ladder. The AFL Goldfields’ under-age girls competition finals start this weekend. In the RDFL youth league competition, the Sunbury Kangaroos face Gisborne Blue for a spot in the grand final. Melton Centrals play Gisborne White in the other semi-final. Tara Murray
