Sunbury’s triple treat Sunbury Jets have made it three championships in as many years in the Big V women’s competition. The Jets needed just two games to win this year’s state championships, defeating the Southern Peninsula Sharks on Saturday night in front a big home crowd. After a strong first half, the Jets held on against a fast-finishing Sharks to win 72-69. ■ Full story: Page 26
By Esther Lauaki Tanner Bell was loved by a lot of people. That’s why 50 of Tanner’s family and friends, led by his younger sister Tylah, will run the Melbourne Marathon next month in his honor while raising money and awareness for Psychosis Australia Trust. The Sunbury 21-year-old, who played football for Riddell as well as the Sunbury Lions, was diagnosed with psychosis at 16 and died last year. Tylah is already hitting the gym and running around her local oval in preparation for the
October 14 marathon. An online crowdfunding campaign has raised $6000 and Tylah hopes to raise more in the lead-up to the event. Her aim is to let other young men know that “it’s OK not to be OK”. “I’m doing this to raise awareness that there are people who can help men who are unable or don’t want to speak up about what they’re going through,” Tylah said. “Tanner suffered psychosis and he’s the main reason I’m doing this charity run. “I want to let people know that anyone can suffer from psychosis and, young men in particular, need to talk about it.”
She said that her brother was charismatic and selfless. “He was a beautiful kid,” Tylah said. “He had heaps of friends and used to go out just out about every weekend. “Tanner was pretty selfless as well. He was always looking after other people and always wanted to make sure we were alright.” The mission of the Psychosis Australia Trust is to support research into schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with the aim of helping all those affected by these mental illnesses to live better lives.

Tigers in trouble with huge debt Kyneton Football Netball Club has made an impassioned plea for community support in a bid to overcome financial difficulties. The Tigers are about $200,000 in debt and are in danger of losing their senior team for the second time this decade if they can’t resolve their off-field issues. KFNC sent letters to club sponsors, members and junior families last week and followed up with a plea for help. KFNC president Karen O’Sullivan said the reaction from the Kyneton community had been positive.
“If we changed nothing now we would go down that path [withdrawing the senior team] again and that’s why we’ve gone public and called for help,’’ O’Sullivan said. “We have a plan in place for next year as far as cost reductions and getting our budget into surplus. That would be sustainable, but it would take us a long time to get out of debt and we want to pay off our debts sooner rather than later. “Within 24 hours [of the plea] we had Kyneton Racing Club donate $5000 … that’s just the beginning. We had our biggest crowd
of the year for Saturday’s game against Golden Square and that was on the back of the letter we sent to families last Thursday. “It was a great show of support to see the crowd come out like that and back us.” Financial woes and a player exodus forced Kyneton to withdraw its senior side from the 2013 BFNL season. The Tigers returned in 2014 and finished seventh with six wins from 18 games. They made the elimination final in 2015, 2016 and 2017 before jumping into the top three this year with 12 wins and a draw from 18 matches.
O’Sullivan said a five-year-old legacy debt from the Tigers’ recession in 2013, combined with improvement costs at the club, were the major factors behind the cash crisis. “A new netball court, lights and an electronic scoreboard were some of the improvements we made and, while they came with grants, the associated costs that we had to fund did pile up.” The senior playing group and coaching staff have been kept up to date about the club’s finances.

Recycled fashion has hip designs
Leaking landfill costs council
Clothing made from recycled materials, paired with upcycled shoes, is at the heart of Gisborne designer Megan Taylor’s collection, which will be on show during Melbourne Fashion Week. Four garments from Ms Taylor’s Art is History collection will feature in the Rags to Runway: Great Southern Style fashion show tonight (September 4) in North Melbourne. In line with this year’s theme, Great Southern Style, the show’s designs will be inspired by the Australian landscape, flora and fauna, indigenous culture and iconic homegrown fashion designers past and present. The show will include designs using recycled garments donated by Australian Red Cross. One of the pieces Ms Taylor will showcase is a dress inspired by Melbourne’s laneways and made of recycled upholstery fabric. “I used all recycled fabrics for my garments and some organic cottons,” she said. “All the shoes in my collection are from the Australian Red Cross op shops.” The 22-year-old, a recent fashion design graduate from Kangan Institute, is hoping to gain exposure and experience through the show. “I’m really hoping that it gives me more opportunities to get my name out there and learn from others,” she said. “I’d really like to work as a design assistant for now.” Kangan Institute chief executive Trevor Schwenke said the show highlighted a philosophy of reduce, reuse and recycle. “We are proud to join hands with Australian Red Cross to work towards a sustainable fashion future,” Mr Schwenke said. “Our Rags to Runway program prepares our students for dynamic careers where they can make positive and responsible contributions to the fashion industry as a whole. “This year’s fashion show will showcase our students’ skills and creativity, and hopefully inspire our communities to reconsider upcycling as a stylish and sustainable fashion alternative.” Esther Lauaki
Macedon Ranges council will monitor conditions at the closed Lancefield landfill site after it was fined nearly $8000 by the Environment Protection Authority Victoria for excessive leachate levels. Reports on the Lancefield site found leachate – a liquid which leaches from landfill and may contain harmful substances and elevated concentrations of materials – had exceeded the legal level since January 2017. The council had not completed extraction since May last year. EPA north west regional manager Scott Pigdon said leachate occurred near Deep Creek and had the potential to affect groundwater. “There are several groundwater bores in use down from the site, so we want this issue addressed as soon as possible,” Mr Pigdon said. Macedon Ranges council assets and operations director Dale Thornton said a small quantity of leachate had leaked from the site but had been quickly identified and contained. “The landfill was constructed by the former Shire of Romsey to the standards of the day, and it has been challenging bringing the site into line with modern requirements and standards,” Mr Thornton said. “We have been working closely with the EPA on this issue and are working to reduce leachate levels.” EPA-approved monitoring equipment has been installed at the site to alert the council of any leachate level problems. Residents with concerns about the closed landfill can contact the council on 5422 0333. Megan Taylor’s sustainable fashion will be on show during Melbourne Fashion Week. (Damjan Janevski)

KADEY MAC AS EVE
Play takes future focus Science fiction buffs are in for a treat thanks to Lancefield playwright Donna Prince. Her latest work The Adam/Eve Protocol will hit the stage later this month at the Melbourne Fringe Festival at the Space Dance and Arts Centre. Prince said she chose to address what she thought might happen after the fall of mankind and prompt the audience to think about the future. “Science fiction provides us a way of examining possible futures, and if they are not ideal, to hopefully avoid them,” Prince said. “The Adam/Eve Protocol examines one such possible outcome and makes us
question ourselves.” The play is set after a nuclear war between North Korea and the United States in a futuristic space station orbiting the earth. Prince’s work was the product of a 24-hour challenge earlier this year. “The Adam/Eve Protocol was written as part of a Play in a Day festival, we had all night to write and then our work would be performed the very next night,” she said. “A whole play created in 24 hours, it was an absolute adrenalin rush.” Tickets: melbournefringe.com.au Esther Lauaki
A man in his 40s was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital after a house fire in Romsey on August 28. The man suffered serious burns to his hands as well as superficial burns to his face and feet. A primary school-aged girl was transported by road ambulance to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a stable condition to be assessed for smoke inhalation. CFA crews brought the fire under control within an hour. The cause of the blaze is unknown.

Wood gather season opens
Avington’s Noel Henderson and farm manager David Picker. (Damjan Janevski)
Road upgrade welcomed By Esther Lauaki One of the roads used to truck hundreds of tonnes of livestock and feed from the Macedon Ranges to market each year will be upgraded, thanks to the latest round of state funding. The $220,000 investment, under the government’s Rural Roads Program, will be used to widen parts of Sidonia Road. Sidonia Road connects farms in the area to the Calder Freeway, the saleyards and Hardwick Meats in Kyneton.
NEWS
The upgrade is great news for operations such as merino wool producers Avington, one of five farms along Sidonia Road. Avington principal Noel Henderson said the farm trucks out 400 bales of hay and moves about 5000 head of sheep a year. “It’s [the road’s] been an issue for many years,” Mr Henderson said. “With the increasing size of trucks and a school bus which uses this road every day it [the upgrade] was much needed. “The trucks often move off the bitumen

all the time and get bogged at the side of the road. “When they do drive off the bitumen, that breaks up the edges of the road and it makes it even more dangerous.” Macedon Ranges council has also contributed to the road upgrade, bringing total investment in the project to $440,000. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the upgrade would improve access for heavy vehicles servicing local livestock and stud breeding producers.
The spring firewood collection season has opened, meaning residents can pick up wood from designated areas until November. Hume assistant chief fire officer Jarrod Hayse reminded gatherers to stay within collection limits. “You may collect up to two cubic metres of firewood per person per day, and up to 16 cubic metres per household per year,” he said. “This prevents households stockpiling large volumes of firewood and denying others a supply. “Some designated firewood collection areas may not open at the beginning of the season for various reasons, including supply or accessibility due to wet conditions. Firewood collection areas that have proposed burns within them … may be closed early or at short notice.” He said closures of firewood collection areas due to burning operations would be notified on site, at local Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning offices and on the website and DELWP Hume Facebook page if time allowed. Forest Fire Management Victoria and Parks Victoria staff will patrol parks, forests and reserves to make sure people are doing the right thing. “The felling of any trees for firewood is strictly prohibited and it’s also illegal to sell firewood collected on public land without an appropriate permit or licence,” Mr Hayse said.

Feedback call for old school site By Esther Lauaki A cinema, a dog club and a multi-purpose cultural hub are among the ideas put forward by residents for the future use of the former Kyneton Primary School site. The long-running battle over the site was settled last May when the state government announced that the property would “remain in public hands” – after working towards selling it for months. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning is now calling for public
feedback about organisations or activities that residents would like to see occupy the space. Residents can have their say via an online survey until October 5. DELWP Loddon Mallee regional director Marg Allan said the state authority wanted suggestions about a future management model that would be economically and socially viable. “Now that the government has committed to keeping the site at Baynton Street, including the buildings, publicly owned, this consultation is focusing on site use and management,” Ms Allan said.
“This community feedback will be used to explore and develop reasonable and realistic priorities for the site. “It will also investigate what services and community facilities currently exist in Kyneton, what gaps exist and how the former primary school site might fill these gaps. “Future uses must complement the existing surrounding land uses, reflect population forecasts and changing population needs, enhance the town centre location and function, and take account of the economic and social needs of the Kyneton community.”
The Kyneton Town Square Reference Group, the main driver behind the community campaign against the sale of the school, conducted its own survey last month to gauge community opinion about future uses for the school. Jan McIver, a member of the committee, said respondents shared some positive ideas. “People have added a huge range of new exciting ideas to the ones which were already circulating from previous discussion,” Ms McIver said.

Cricket’s new age The Sunbury and Macedon Ranges over 60s cricket club is casting its net a little wider to draw in players over 50 to join its veterans squad. Club captain David Cordy said there is a need for younger local players to get involved. “It’s like an outdoors men’s shed” Cordy said. “The over 60s team play matches every Sunday against teams from all over Victoria both country and metropolitan, however, there’s nothing available for our ‘youngsters’ – the over 50s in our region – to get a game. “It’s a great way to stay involved in the game we love and at the same time get some exercise and meet other like-minded cricketers.” Cordy said that veterans cricket is growing steadily across a number of Melbourne metropolitan associations with more opportunities for selection in regional and national teams. “We’re all not getting any younger,” he said.
“That’s why we need to ensure there will be players in this region coming through, to take over when we’re gone. “Along with the Sunday friendly games, there are also inter-regional zone games which lead to the selection of Victorian state teams in three age groups, over 40s, 50s and 60s.”D Details: 0418 746 000 Esther Lauaki

Young band hits high note By Esther Lauaki A band of mates have taken out the Macedon Ranges Battle of the Bands competition with their “neo-indie-rock” sound. Dr Frisco has made it through to the regional finals later this year after winning the local heats last month in Kyneton. The band, made up of Oscar Lemaine-Smith, Gus Price, Blake Dickens and James Erickson, all from Braemar College, played four original songs in front of about 150 people to win over the judges. They met at school and have been rocking out in James’ lounge room for the past 12 months. “We started last year,” Year 11 lead guitarist Oscar said. “We’re pretty stoked to have won. “We thought we had a strong chance going in and then we saw everyone up on stage and we knew we were up against some stiff competition.” It is the second win for Dr Frisco in recent months having also taken home the top prize at a VET music performance competition in Bendigo. “Personally, I want a career in music and if this works out, that’d be pretty cool,” Oscar said. Battle of the Bands showcased a diverse range of artists and genres, with performances from Sam Tucker, Tim Allen, Lana Hughes and last year’s Macedon Ranges heat winners, Lazerlips. Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson said the event was a great experience for young people in the shire. “[It] is a fantastic way for local bands and performers to get their music out to a wider audience,” Cr Anderson said. “Providing opportunities for young people to express themselves, connect socially, and be part of a thriving artistic community is one of council’s key priorities.”

Views sought on gaming Sunbury and Bulla residents can share their thoughts on gambling in their community as Hume council reviews its responsible gaming policy. Residents are invited to share their opinions and experiences of gambling at a consultation session on September 18. The council’s policy assists in its responses to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation on gaming applications in Hume and neighbouring municipalities, as well as encouraging community awareness of the potential impacts of gaming. Hume gamblers lost $109.6 million on gaming machines in the past financial year – a 3.6 per cent increase on the $105.8 million lost the previous year. Hume mayor Geoff Porter said the council recognised that gambling is a legal, recreational activity but when gambling becomes problematic it affects the broader community. “Council is committed to raising our communities’ awareness of the potential harms associated with gambling and working with the state government to see that gambling in our community is suitably regulated now and into the future,” Cr Porter said. The community meeting will be held on September 18 between 6.30pm and 8.30pm at Sunbury Aquatic and Leisure Centre, 20 Ligar Street, Sunbury. Details: hume.vic.gov.au/yoursay Esther Lauaki

Firing up for farmers By Esther Lauaki A Macedon family is wrangling friends, colleagues and schoolmates to get on board with its fundraising effort for farmers in rural Australia. The Culos family – Nicole, Steven and their children, Briana, 16, and Ryan, 13 – is running collections in Sunbury, Gisborne and Keilor on behalf of the Need for Feed charity, which is helping drought-affected famers. Items in greatest demand include food, thermos flasks, work socks, supermarket and fuel vouchers, pet food and toiletries. People can also make monetary donations online. Mrs Culos said that it was her husband’s community spirit that led the family to help out. “As a family, we’re really keen to help,” she said. “My husband is very involved in the community and it was his idea to lend a helping hand. We live in a small community ourselves so we know the struggles.” Mr Culos travelled to Cobden earlier this year to help farmers affected by fires rebuild fences. “We contacted Need for Feed and they didn’t have anyone in our area to collect so we offered to set up collection points,” Mrs Culos said. She said that stories of poverty from farmers around the country pulled at their heart-strings. “It’s just the community spirit to help others in need,” she said. “There are farmers out there who are living on little food. These stories make you realise that these are Aussies, just like all of us, and they could be any one of us.” Since 2006, Need For Feed has been supporting communities and farmers across Victoria affected by events such as fires and drought.

Kyneton library upgrade win Kyneton library will soon be able to start a new chapter thanks to a $150,000 grant. The state government last week announced the grant to upgrade the library as part of it’s $4.5 million Living Libraries program. Macedon Ranges MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the upgrade would be wonderful for the local community. “Libraries are important places for our communities – they are hubs where we gather and run programs,” Ms Thomas said. “Kyneton Library is quite a small space at the moment and an upgrade would open it up and make it more inviting.” Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz said the funding for Kyneton Library would help nurture life-long learning, health and wellbeing. “The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program is about helping our libraries grow and adapt to support the needs of Victorian communities,” Ms Kairouz said. “We’re making sure more libraries across Victoria have better facilities so more people can enjoy what their local library has to offer.” The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program helps councils and regional libraries upgrade and adapt to meet the needs of expanding and growing communities.

Professional Osteopathic Care providing over 60 years combined experience
Savvy treatment can ease hay fever’s toll Hay fever can pose a serious threat to your health if you have asthma. It increases your chance of admission to hospital and the need for steroid medication. It can also have a negative impact on your quality of life. You can get tired and run-down due to poor sleep quality and it can be socially embarrassing. The correct drugs and treatments can be effective in reducing symptoms. Nasal corticosteroid sprays reduce inflammation in the lining of the nose and are the most effective treatment for hay fever. They help to control itching, sneezing, runny and blocked nose and itchy eyes. You can buy nasal corticosteroids over the counter or your doctor can give you a prescription for a stronger version. You need to take this medicine regularly and long term for it to be effective.
Gisborne Osteopathy
Combination drugs, which contain an antihistamine and a decongestant, are available, but these must be used with caution. The decongestant can cause side effects such as irritation of the lining of your nose, nausea and headaches.
Health Naturally
Family run clinic by Dr David Fairclough B.Sc (Clin.Sci.) M.H.Sc (Osteo.) & his wife Karen Fairclough.
Decongestant sprays unblock and dry the nose, but they should not be used for more than a few days. This is because they can cause problems such as rebound congestion (when your symptoms become worse after you stop using the decongestant).
Dr Lois Groves D.O. Dr Tim McCormick B.Sc
Decongestant tablets also unblock and dry the nose, but they can have “stimulant” side effects such as tremors, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and increased blood pressure.
(Clin.Sci.) M.H.Sc (Osteo.)
Natural products, such as saltwater nasal sprays or douches (a stream of water shot into the nose), can also help relieve symptoms.

Since medicines only reduce the severity of symptoms, a treatment option may be allergen-specific immunotherapy (also known as “desensitisation”). This is a long-term option often administered over a few years, and should only be initiated by a medical specialist such as a clinical immunologist. Source: healthdirect.gov.au

Nothing false in the fun factor at this clinic Although Ryan Davies and Daniel Stefani are highly credentialed and sought-after prosthetists, it doesn’t stop them from having fun – and that makes for a very relaxed clinic to visit.
PROVIDING EXCELLENT EYE CARE FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
“We understand that some people are quite nervous about any type of dental work,” says clinic manager Ryan. “It’s why we take our time to explain every step of the way, showing them that having dentures fitted is a very comfortable process these days.” Because all dentures are made on site, carefully matching new teeth to the patient’s individual profile, clients can be certain of a great result. “Getting perfectly made and fitted dentures can literally change someone’s life,” Ryan explains. “They can smile with confidence, knowing their teeth look natural and can resume life with a new spring in their step. This is what gives Daniel and me great job satisfaction.”
Affordable cataract surgery
The dynamic duo are keen to champion their apprentice.
Bulk Bill eye injections
“Nadine (Sleiman) started as our receptionist four years ago,” Ryan says. “Within six months, she was helping out in the lab and quickly realised she wanted to become a dental technician. Nadine is nearly finished her apprenticeship and is looking towards going to university to become a prosthetist. This has given us a lot of pleasure and we look forward to seeing where her future takes her.”
Holistic management of glaucoma
Ryan comes from a long line of dental experts. “I’m a third-generation dental prosthetist, my family having 125 years’ combined experience in the industry,” he says. “My grandfather was a prosthetist for 70 years, my father for 40 – and I’ve already notched up 17. It must be in the genes.”
Comprehensive oculoplastic surgery
Ryan and Daniel also focus on helping patients develop an oral health regime that will keep their dentures well maintained and their whole mouths healthy.
Opening hours: Monday - Friday: 9.00am - 5.00pm Contact: A: 11 Neill Street, Sunbury P: 9740 9555 E: reception@sunburyeyesurgeons.com.au W: sunburyeyesurgeons.com Or you can find us on Facebook
Daniel says: “Even if you have dentures that won’t decay, oral hygiene is just as essential to avoid problems with gums and to maintain freshness.” Providers of free assessments and quotes, the clinic carries out full and partial dentures, as well as fits customised mouthguards and offers a same-day, on-site repair and reline service. Sunbury Denture Clinic, 3E Brook Street, Sunbury. Opens 8.30am-5pm weekdays. Inquiries: 9744 6582 or visit sunburydentureclinic.com.au

FOOD REVIEW
STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a gem in the industrial heartland Prowling the back streets of Sunshine North after dark is a weird feeling – creepy even. No one around, the businesses are closed and there’s little by way of street lighting. But as we arrive at the block on which Bakhdida lives, parking is at a premium. Entering the restaurant we discover the reason for that: A couple of dozen guests happily playing cards and the like. Yes, this is an eatery-cum-social club of the kind found all over the west in a dizzying array of cultural affiliations. But don’t let that put you off. Here you’ll be served wonderful Iraqi food. Much of the long and extremely affordable menu is familiar in the Middle Eastern way, though there are a few points of difference along the journey. Proprietor Abraham Pitros and his crew are really on the ball, with our many dishes arriving looking gorgeous and after what seemed like hardly any time at all. Pickles are served with several of our other dishes as garnishes, but it’s a good thing we order a dedicated serve of them ($5) with olives – because we love them a lot and eat of them heartily. Cabbage, celery, some carrot and – best of all – many cauliflower florets have a turmeric hue, are delicious and are made with love by Abraham’s mum. A good whack of turmeric is also at play in the dipping concoction that comes with our falafel ($15).
BAKHDIDA CAFE AND RESTAURANT Address: 42 Knight Avenue, Sunshine North Phone: 0403 440 174 The falafel – in the shape of small donuts – are golden outside and in, very plain in the seasoning department and very good. Mixed dips ($10) – eggplant, gagic, hommus – are every bit as excellent as you’d expect and accompanied by a sort-of ratatouille and cabbage salad. We enjoy them with good house-made Iraqi bread. Under the roof of pita chips is a top-notch rendition of fatoosh ($5). Sliced beetroot ($5) is OK, but is so plain it gets a bit lost amid all the other zingy flavours we are loving. Just like all the other guests this night, we get to try (at no charge) this un-named kitchen trial dish. It’s made of large yellow cucumber slices and come across as a cross between a pickle and a salad. It, too, is great. Lamb shawerma ($16) is chewy, a little crispy and quite salty – just as we like it! Mixed skewers ($16) are succulent, awesome – and seemingly unseasoned in any way. Saving the best until last? Pretty much! In meat tashreeb ($16), the cooking juices soak into the bread, upon which resides a generous serving of lamb shank meat. Will we return to Bakhdida? Yes. Again and again and again …

This one doesn’t just put on a fine show kerbside, but is also beautifully presented indoors.

“I LOVE A SUNBURNT COUNTRY” Our wonderful Australia, our home, is a land of contrasts. It is a land of drought, of floods, of bush fires and, sadly, of Politicians who seem not to care for anything but their own income and egos. T all readers I apologise that I am being “political” To and my only excuse is that I am so very sad and angry at the “revolving door” of Prime Ministers - what a joke! Over the past 6 years some of our farmers have battled the challenges of drought and have in many cases reached desperation. Fires have burnt huge areas of New South Wales. Domestic violence increases and appalling child abuse continues. In towns and cities across this great nation, the homeless shiver through winter and eke out an existence and our Politicians - what have our politicians done over the last few weeks? Nothing!! Once again we watch ego stroking and petty politics take over from common sense, basic decency and government. I do wonder how our young people can hope to have any sense of pride or respect when our politicians act in such an immature, disrespectful manner with their eye firmly on “gaining power” rather than working for you and me and our beautiful nation.
OPEN 7 DAYS
I love this sunburnt country, a land of farms, of floods. A land of bush fires and stunning beaches. A land of unique animals and superb landscape. Could we please find some politicians who care for this country more than they care for themselves. • Column supplied by Liz Dormontt.

Tigers fall at last hurdle
Sports shorts Ballarat NL
Sunbury Lions suffered a second straight loss as they proved no match for North Ballarat City in the Ballarat Netball League. The Lions, who were without Tarnee Adams and Kate Fletcher, started slowly and were made to pay, trailing 15-5. While better after quarter-time, the Lions still lost 44-34. Renee Hulls shot 19 goals from 23 attempts for the Lions. Lions coach Adam Boldiston said he knew it would always be tough to beat North Ballarat City, missing two players from their starting seven. For more on Sunbury’s loss, go to www. starweekly.com.au/sports.

Sunbury United’s premiership dreams ended at the final hurdle, losing the NRL Vic first grade grand final on Sunday. Facing the Werribee Bears, who were going for a third straight premiership, the Tigers took up the challenge. In a low scoring match, both sides had their chances and in the end it was the Bears that got up, winning 12-8. Tigers coach Terry Constantinou said it wasn’t an ideal finish to the season. He said the Bears’ finals experience showed through when it was needed. “We had our chances,� he said. “They scored off our mistakes. “We had a few more opportunities but they executed better. We had a three to four minute period at the end where we had possession at their goal line back couldn’t score.� Constantinou said while they were disappointed with the end result, they had shown massive improvement this year. It was the Tigers first grand final since 2014. “Our average age is a lot younger than Werribee’s,� he said. “We started the season 0-2 and that wasn’t ideal. We came back and became one of the front runners. “We can take away a lot of positives and we will be better for it next year.� Constantinou, who hasn’t decided whether he will coach again next season, said the key for the club was to keep the playing group together. “If we can keep the core group together and possibly pick up a couple of players, it would be good. “The core group is strong and still young. If we can stay together and build on the combinations it’ll hold us in good stead.�

Bombers make the decider with a week to spare Riddell’s winning streak has continued, taking it all the way to the Riddell District Football League grand final. The in-form Bombers haven’t lost since round three. On Saturday, they faced Diggers Rest, the last team to beat them, in a semi-final. In tough conditions, the Bombers went to another level in the second half to grind out a 10.8 (68)-7.4 (46) win. Bombers coach Jamie Elliott said it was a good win. “There was a bit of rain, mist and wind – it was tough,” he said. “It was a tough grind for the boys.” The Bombers led at half-time, before being
able to carve out a bit more time and space in the third quarter. They converted on the scoreboard, kicking five goals for the quarter. The Burras got to within 15 points in the last quarter, before the Bombers steadied with a goal. “We opened it up in the third quarter,” Elliott said. “We played some good footy … we were able to get some space and it suited our runners.” Peter Robertson, Dylan Tarczon and Nathan Croft kicked two goals each for the Bombers. Elliott said Thomas Belleville was their best, while several others delivered moments of good football.
Several of the Bombers’ younger players were named in their best. Taylor Hine was the standout for the Burras. Diggers Rest coach Jamie Lobb said his side didn’t have enough runners and left its run too late. The grand final will be the Bombers’ second in three years. They will face either the Burras or Macedon, who will play in a preliminary final this weekend. Elliott said it was a good feeling knowing they were through to another grand final. It was a slightly different feeling this time around. The side won through to the 2016
Thunder in cool victory By Tara Murray East Sunbury displayed no nerves as it took to the field for its first ever final in Essendon District Football League division 2. Despite not playing its best football in the first half against Moonee Valley, the Thunder led at the first two breaks on Saturday. The Thunder then successfully fought to apply more scoreboard pressure, its running power showing through in the final quarter. Six goals to two in the final term sealed the Thunder’s first finals win 15.7 (97)-4.12 (36). Thunder coach Glenn Hopkins said that despite finals at this level being a new experience for most of the players, there was a sense of calm among the group. He said they handled the pressure well and weren’t overawed by the situation. “They were excited more than nervous,” he said. “They’ve grown with confidence with the results. “They played really well against Coburg Districts and it put them in a good mental level heading into the game.” Hopkins said they were switched on right from the start, but it wasn’t until the second half that they really played well. “The game was played the way Moonee Valley wanted it in the first half,” he said. “There was a lot of stoppages and a scruffy game. We talked about it at half-time – about getting the game going our way, getting our running game going.” Hopkins said it was the young guns that led from the front. Brad Bernacki and Tom Cree led the way in the midfield, while Lachlan Brne and Will Wright were strong in defence. Diquan Williams kicked three goals moving between attack and defence, while Mitchell Johns kicked two goals after moving forward in the last quarter. Hopkins said they had switched their key forwards around all day, and thought that Johns would provide a good contested target up forward. Cree kicked two goals. The Thunder will face the Northern Saints in a preliminary final this weekend. The Saints lost their semi-final to Roxburgh Park 15.7 (97)-4.12 (36). Roxburgh Park awaits the winner in the grand final. The Thunder and Saints have played each other three times this season. The Saints won two of the three games, including the most recent by a point. Hopkins said they needed to continue with the sort of form they displayed in the second half on Saturday. “It will again be another physical game with these guys,” he said. “We’ll try and make it as open as possible and get our run and carry going.”
decider through the preliminary and did not have a week off. “We’ve got a couple of sore bodies, so the week off will help,” he said. “We won’t be doing anything different from what we’ve been doing.” Elliott said a couple of players could come back in for the grand final. In the other semi-final, Macedon thrashed Rupertswood 18.12 (120)-8.9-57.

Cats clamber into decider in extra time Macedon is through to the Riddell District Netball League grand final, but it took a mighty fight to get there. The Cats were pushed all the way by Romsey in wet conditions on Saturday, with extra time needed to split the two teams in the semi-final. The Cats were in front when the extra time siren went, winning 44-43. Cats playing coach Ciara Stewart said it wasn’t a great performance from their perspective. “It was our worst performance all year,” she said. “We struggled in the wet, especially in the attack end where we like fast ball movement. “We struggled to use the ball … we weren’t taking a lot of risks and just didn’t adjust.” While the end margin was just one goal, Stewart said they felt like they were in control all game. “It got out to a six-goal lead twice,” she said. “We never felt like we weren’t in control, even though the scoreline didn’t show it. “We felt like we were the better team, but weren’t finishing things off. It was who was going to fight harder and both teams fought hard.” Chloe Wilson shot 37 goals from 46 attempts for the Cats, while Tayissa Coppinger was named their best. Chelsea Ross, who shot 22 goals, was named Romsey’s best players. The win moves the Cats through to the grand final, while the Redbacks will face Rockbank in a preliminary final. Stewart said the week off would do the side good, with a few players carrying injuries. She said they would work on things they had taken out of their semi-final victory during training in the next two weeks. The Cats have two teams through to grand finals, with their B-grade side also winning through. The B-grade also needed extra time to get there. The Cats defeated Diggers Rest 36-31. Stewart said that win had helped boost the confidence levels of the A-grade team. For more on the Rupertswood and Rockbank match, go to starweekly.com. au/sports/ Tara Murray

Tigers need time to reboot after a semi-final flop Kyneton will be hoping to forget Saturday’s semi-final loss against Eaglehawk as it tries to get its finals campaign back on track in the Bendigo Football League. For the first quarter it looked set to be a cracking contest between the two teams, but from then on it was all Eaglehawk. Eaglehawk kicked 16 goals to two after quarter-time, to win 22.17 (149)-5.7 (37). Tigers coach Luke Beattie said it was one of those days they would like to forgot. “It was really disappointing,” he said. “Thankfully we have the second chance. “We’ll have to look at a few things before next week to work on. “It’s disappointing and you don’t dismiss it,
but it’s one of those games you want to rip off the tape and throw it out.” Beattie said the first quarter was good from both sides, before Eaglehawk upped the pressure. The Tigers weren’t able to go with them and it showed on the scoreboard. Beattie said his side didn’t respond to the pressure. “We turned the ball over too consistently,” he said. “And we were doing it in space and they could capitalise. We did have some inside 50s, but were just bombing it in.” Beattie said they had few winners. He said Hamish Govan and Billy Mahony tried hard
all day, but everyone else would have to look at themselves and see what they could do better. “We were fantastic until quarter-time,” he said. “We’ll look at what was successful in that quarter and approach the rest of the game differently.” Injuries didn’t help the loss, with the Tigers down to just one player on the bench. Max O’Sullivan (concussion), Gareth Bowes (knee) and Harrison Huntley (hamstring) are all expected to be right for this week. The Tigers this week face Sandhurst in a knock-out semi-final. Beattie said they hoped to get back Tom O’Sullivan, Fintan Brazil and Brandon
Dimech for the game. “They [Sandhurst] are playing good football and one of the more in-form teams of the competition,” Beattie said. Sandhurst won through to the semi-final after a win against Gisborne in an elimination final. Sandhurst led at every break, but couldn’t kick away from the Bulldogs in the first three quarters. They led by seven points at three-quarter time, before kicking away late to win, 13.10 (88)-9.11 (65). Josh Grabham was named the Bulldogs best in the loss. Tara Murray
Sunbury Jets’ triple treat By Tara Murray Sunbury Jets’ dream run in the Big V women’s competition has continued with the side claiming a third straight championship. The Jets won a division 1 championship and then the state championship title in the past two seasons, and made it two straight state championship titles on Saturday night. For coach Kennedy Kereama the win wasn’t just for the playing group but for the association as a whole. “It feels great and I’m really proud of the girls,” Kereama said. “It’s a club milestone and it’s been a really good year for the entire association, especially the women’s program. “It’s absolutely fantastic.” The Jets needed just two games of the grand final series against Southern Peninsula Sharks to get the job done.

After a big win in game one last weekend, the Jets held off a fast-finishing Sharks outfit to win 72-69 on Saturday night. The close result didn’t look likely in the first half, with the Jets leading by as much as 21 points. Kereama said he expected the Sharks to make at least a run, if not more than one during the game. And he wasn’t wrong. “We prepped the girls to weather a few storms from the Sharks. We had a 20-point margin and they cut it right down. “They’re a very quality side and they did what they were good at. When they shoot well they are hard to stop.” With the Sharks coming at them, the Jets focused on trying to do what they had done in the first half of the game. The Sharks got as close as one point with five seconds to go but the Jets’ experienced players stood strong. Kereama said the Jets focused on two key areas to help get the win. “To get to the foul line – there was a big focus on that,” he said. “We missed some foul shots, but we made them when they needed to be made. “The other was rebounds. I think we were out rebounded in the end, but we were good in the first half. “We were also able to execute some plays down the stretch. It’s better to be in the driver’s seat.” Orla O’Reilly top-scored with 22 points, while Kerryn Harrington chipped in with 21 points. Kereama said both had really good games. O’Reilly was named the grand final most valuable player. It comes after she was

announced as a finalist in the state league women’s most valuable player award. Kereama said O’Reilly had been massive for the club over the past two years. “She’s consistent and played every single game,” he said. “She’s had a great season and we’re blessed that the players we’re bringing in are buying into the program. “They’ve given back some unbelievable

basketball.” The title was the first for several of the playing group. Kereama said that the playing group made it easy for players coming into the club to fit in with ease. Chelsea Burns is the only player to play in all three grand final series. Having won three titles in three years, Kereama said the focus was on continuing to
bring young talent through the club. Not only has the women’s side won three straight titles, the club’s youth league women’s side has won two straight titles after sealing the division one championship last weekend. The youth league side will move up to the championship division next season. It’s been a rapid rise in the competition, with the team playing in the bottom tier just last year.
