Councils hounded over dog lawBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

HUME Council is urging the state government tochange its laws on restricted-breed dogs in the lead-up to a Supreme Court hearing in March.

Pressure for change is mounting on the governmentafter the Supreme Court last week overturned aVictorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decisionto have two restricted-breed dogs destroyed.

The court ordered Monash and Darebin councilsto each pay $100,000 in legal fees and pound costs.

Hume Council will attend its first Supreme Courtcase on March 5 following a Hume resident’s appealagainst a VCAT decision to have a restricted-breeddog destroyed.

New laws, which came into effect in September2011, give Victorian councils the right to seize anddestroy unregistered restricted-breed dogs foundroaming the streets or that have injured an animal orperson. The legislation followed the fatal dog attack

on four-year-old Ayen Chol in St Albans on August17, 2011. Since the new law was introduced, HumeCouncil has been taken to VCAT nine times by dogowners.

Hume’s chief executive, Domenic Isola, said thebiggest problem the council faced was confusionbetween a restricted dog breed and a dangerousbreed. He said a more defined process was needed.

‘‘The council would welcome a more definedprocess that would make the identification ofrestricted-breed dogs easier and more consistent.

‘‘Dangerous dogs legislation is different fromrestricted-breed declarations that may end up inVCAT and is one of the inherent problems with thewhole process,’’ Mr Isola said.

The most common restricted dog breed is theAmerican pit bull.

Municipal Association of Victoria chief executiveRob Spence said he was optimistic that the state gov-ernment would make a change to the legislation soon.

‘‘It’s a difficult process for a council to getthrough because they will determine if a dog is arestricted breed, then the owner gets the oppor-tunity to appeal at VCAT,’’ Mr Spence said.

‘‘That’s a long process. The dog is kept in apound for a long period, which is not good forthem, and this can drag out for months before anydecision is made.

‘‘Then, if it’s appealed to the Supreme Court,councils are spending money getting lawyers andlooking after the dogs.’’

Mr Isola said the cost of keeping a dog impoun-ded is $200 a week.

Agriculture and Food Security Minister PeterWalsh said the government was examining therecent Supreme Court rulings.

‘‘If Victoria’s dangerous dog laws needtightening in order to allow councils to carry outtheir responsibilities and protect communities, wewill do so,’’ he said.

Hard hat dayThe Craigieburn SES is on the lookout for new talent to

bolster volunteer numbers. Volunteers Paul Ledwich

and Michael Casha (pictured) are campaigning to gain

at least a dozen more to add to the unit’s 50 members.

Mr Ledwich, a volunteer for 32 years, says anyone can

volunteer with the SES, though it’s desirable to be able

to attend incidents during the day. ‘‘We get about 300

calls a year and they’re all types of jobs — road

accidents, storm damage and floods.’’ He urged

‘‘anybody and everybody’’ to attend an information

night at the unit’s headquarters, at 151A Craigieburn

Road, from 7.30pm on February 18. Details: 9308 1140

Hoons not putting brains in gear: policeBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN ‘Ten an hour is far too many, one is far too many. People should

be obeying the speed limits, especially on that specific stretch ofroad where they go through numerous uncontrolledintersections.’ — Glenn Parker

THIRTY drivers were caught speeding in a three-hour police blitz on the Hume Highway inCraigieburn last week.

In most cases, motorists were driving morethan 20km/h in excess of the 80km/h speed limit.

Ten of the offenders were caught within anhour of the operation launch.

One motorist, who was driving while hislicence was suspended, will face court.

Senior Sergeant Glenn Parker said the resultswere disappointing.

‘‘Ten an hour is far too many; one is far toomany,’’ he said.

‘‘People should be obeying the speed limits,especially on that specific stretch of road where

they go through numerous uncontrolled inter-sections.’’

Senior Sergeant Parker said it was worrisome,given that a motorcyclist had died on Bridge-water Road in Craigieburn on January 18.

‘‘We had a motorcycle road fatality early thisyear and a fatality before Christmas. There werefar too many deaths last year statewide.’’

There were 282 fatalities in Victoria last year,

10 of them in Hume. Although the state’s toll wasdown from 287 the previous year, Hume’s tallywas up from five.

‘‘It’s a waste of life and people have just got torealise the risks they take behind the wheel of amotor vehicle,’’ Senior Sergeant Parker said.

The Fawkner highway patrol also took part inlast week’s operation.

Senior Sergeant Parker said more operations

were planned for Craigieburn. ‘‘Given thatspeeding is clearly a problem on that stretch ofroad, motorists can expect there will be acontinued campaign of enforcement and theywill get booked.’’

He said unmarked police vehicles would alsobe out in force across Hume to curb hoonbehaviour.

‘‘You never know when we’ll pop up. Withwarmer nights there are more people out andabout, especially people walking with theirchildren.

‘‘Then we’ve got hoons who are not puttingtheir brains into gear.

‘‘It’s a concern when hoons are doing excessivespeeds and burnouts in residential streets nearpedestrians.’’

Nurse Penny’s bald move

Up for the chop: Penny Carter gets ready to shed her locks. Picture: Cathy Jackson

PENNY Carter is expecting a few oddglances after March 15 when she shaves offher hair to raise money for cancer research.

The 25-year-old Tullamarine resident saysshe decided to get involved in the World’sGreatest Shave after becoming inspired atwork to help out cancer patients.

‘‘I’m a nurse at The Alfred hospital in theintensive care unit,’’ she says.

‘‘Over the past couple of years I’ve beenlooking after the hematology patients whocome in, and one lady during Christmas lastyear hit a spot with me.

‘‘She was a hematology patient with chestinfection. I was looking after her while shewas on a breathing machine. I got to knowher really well. I learnt that she went throughtrauma losing a child five years ago and then12 months [later] was diagnosed withcancer.

‘‘These people go through hell to survive. Ithink we should try and raise as much moneyas possible.’’

Since 1998, thousands of people each yearhave shaved or coloured their hair to raise

funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to helpsupport people with blood cancers andrelated blood disorders. The foundationexpects more than 150,000 people to shaveor colour their hair between March 14 and17.

Ms Carter hopes to raise $1000 for thecause. She says she will shed her locks at herwork, where she hopes to drum up supportand find sponsors. ‘‘I was going to get thestaff to go around and ensure everyoneknows that I’m doing it — we’ll paintpeople’s hair and get everyone involved.I’m expecting people to look at me funnyonce it’s done, but I think I’ll cope fine withit. I think it’s all about creating awareness.’’

Ms Carter is one of 60 Hume residentswho have so far registered for the World’sGreatest Shave.

The foundation estimates more than11,500 Australians will be diagnosed withleukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year.

Parents’ new ‘treasury’ roleBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

Funds manager: Julie Cooke says her school is putting parents on the right track over how new funding is spent. Picture: Cathy Jackson

HUME schools will soon learn how the stategovernment funding cuts to the educationmaintenance allowance (EMA) will affect theirresources.

With a restructure of the EMA from March 1,payments will no longer be shared betweenschools and parents but instead will go solely tolow-income parents.

Meadows Primary School principal JulieCooke said the school, which has a high rate ofstudents from low-income families, was work-ing with parents to show them how the moneycould benefit their child’s education.

In the past, EMA payments were spent byschools on school supplies, programs and

resources. Under the new rules, EMA will berolled out to parents who hold a Centrelink orVeterans Affairs concession card. It is intendedto help parents with costs associated witheducation.

Eligible parents with prep students will get$200 a year; those with primary school pupilsreceive $150. Parents of year 7 students get$300 and parents of eligible secondary schoolstudents up to the age of 16 will get $250.

Ms Cooke said because there was no strictinstruction from the state government on whatthe money should be spent on, parents did nothave to spend it on education. ‘‘We showparents what the funds would go towards if theschool was spending them,’’ she said.

‘‘They make the decision at the end of the

day; we definitely don’t coerce them at all. Wealso show parents a way to help them with costsof uniforms and help them see it as a manage-ment tool. At the end of the month we’ll knowmore, depending on how many parents areeligible for the EMA.’’

Yuroke MP Liz Beattie is urging Humeresidents to sign an online petition against thegovernment’s changes to education funding.

‘‘Yuroke families have made it clear to methey are struggling to deal with the $555 millionripped out of education, so we’re running acampaign to pass those views on to the Premier.

‘‘Whether it’s the EMA, VCAL, school startbonus, Fresh Fruit Friday or the Youth FocusedSchool Service, Mr Baillieu’s education cuts aretargeting the most vulnerable students.’’

‘‘[I want to] take the redtape burden off yourbusinesses ... smallbusinesses are stranglingin red tape.’’ —Tony Abbott

TAX cuts would be a boon for strugglingsmall businesses in Sunbury, OppositionLeader Tony Abbott said last Wednesday.

He was in town to address more than300 residents at the Sunbury FootballClub just hours before Prime MinisterJulia Gillard announced a federal electionfor September 14.

‘‘If we take off taxes like the carbon tax,if we try to ensure that the workplacesystem is more friendly to businesses thatwant to employ staff, and if we can get thered tape burden down, [which is] notalways easy [it will make things easier forbusinesses].

‘‘But we [the Coalition] can certainly doa much better job than the current govern-ment and offers hope to the smallbusinesses of places like Sunbury.’’

Mr Abbott said that if in government hewould make sure the East West Link wascompleted.

But he couldn’t say if any roads in theMcEwen electorate, which includesSunburyand Craigieburn, and the OuterMetropolitan Ring Road would receive

funding. ‘‘I accept that [people want thegovernment to help], but the national gov-ernment does have to confine itself toroads of national significance.

‘‘But if the federal government is doing abetter job, the state government, I think,will be able to lift its game, too.’’

Mr Abbott told the crowd he wouldfocus on making sure Australia had astrong economy.

‘‘What I want to do for the people ofAustralia, Victoria, McEwen and Sunburyis try and ensure we have a strongeconomy in which your job is safe, yourcost of living is not going up like rightnow, and you can afford the services youexpect.

‘‘[I want to] take the red tape burden offyour businesses. We all know small

businesses are strangling and suffocatingin red tape. The red-tape burden . . . andthe green-tape burden has to be massivelyreduced.’’

McEwen Liberal candidate Ben Collieralso addressed the audience.

Fatal fall sparksplea for safetyWORKSAFE is investigating a work-place fatality at a Somerton cranecompany last week — the first for thestate this year.

A 53-year-old man was foundunconscious at the Hume Highwayworkplace by colleagues. WorkSafehas not released the name of the com-pany. After treatment on site by ambu-lance, the man was taken to RoyalMelbourne Hospital, where he died.

Last week, a different Somertonbusiness was fined $275,000 afterbeing found guilty over the death of aworker from an incident in December2011.

A WorkSafe spokeswoman says des-pite the deaths, working in Hume is nomore dangerous than any other area.

‘‘As many businesses get back intofull swing after the holidays, the bestthing for all businesses to do, regard-less of the area or industry, is to makesafety their priority,’’ she said.

‘‘Regardless of whether the job’sbeen done a thousand times before, weurge businesses to step back and assesswhat could go wrong, identify solu-tions and put them in place.’’

An initial investigation into lastweek’s fatality indicates the man mayhave fallen from the rear of a prime-mover cabin. He suffered a significantinjury to the back of his head.

WorkSafe general manager forhealth and safety operations LisaSturzenegger said this was the firstworkplace fatality for the state.

“The fact that this happened on theAustralia Day public holiday is atragedy for the family, friends andcolleagues and a timely reminder forall Victorians to continue to exercisevigilance.”

There were 1499 workplace injuriesin Hume last year, down from 1508 theprevious year.

COVERSTORY

From high-tech video consoles to traditional

board games and role-playing, gaming

has never been more popular, or organised, writes Robert Fedele

Serious

Eric Papaluca’s earliest memories of video games involve waking on Christmas Day to unwrap an original PlayStation console. His mother had slipped in the now-retro icons Need for Speed and Crash Bandicoot. He was four years old.

‘‘Ever since then I’ve just been addicted to video games,’’ the 17-year-old says in his dimly lit bedroom in Maidstone.

Eric spends about 30 hours a week playing video games and these days his game of choice is Team Fortress 2, a team-based fi rst-person shooter game in which two teams with access to nine characters battle each other in military style settings.

Eric plays in an online league as part of a team of six people from various states across Australia. The team

needed a replacement and he was approached to play, but still had to prove his worth in a trial to make the cut.

‘‘We’re undefeated at the moment,’’ Eric says proudly. ‘‘For the last four months we haven’t lost a match.

‘‘I’m a big competitive gamer. Ever since I was little you just build up a

natural skill to it and just playing with my friends around here, they always lose. By going out online I’m playing against other teams of like-minded players. You get that competitive feel. It’s good to be in a team that are like you, playing against people that are like you.’’

Eric is not alone – the gaming culture in Australia is booming. The phenomenon began in the early ’70s when Pong, the fi rst commercially successful video game, was released worldwide.The addictive simulated table tennis game was launched in 1972 at arcades and pubs and soon made its way into millions of homes via the Atari system.M

Jonathan Strugnell, a lecturer in animation for fi lm and games at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) in Melbourne’s CBD, remembers the game fondly. ‘‘When I was a kid, computer games of course were just barely arriving, so I’ve played most of them,’’ says the 45-year-old Yarraville resident. ‘‘I remember Pong. I remember Space Invaders.’’

Strugnell says gaming has always been a big part of his life. ‘‘But some of my gaming is not based on computers. It’s the old-fashioned old-school pen and paper style. Computers were just an extension of my dictum.’’

Strugnell believes games have grown into a popular pastime because they offer something for everyone. ‘‘It’s genre-based,’’ he explains. ‘‘The fi rst-person shooter are the people who want the adrenaline rush. The role-playing strategy are people who like planning and its simulation warfare, so being a general. The adventure-based games are people who like a story.

‘‘So games can be a safe way of experiencing thrills. Like going on a rollercoaster. You can go and shoot things and blow things up and you get the rush, but it’s also safe because you’re in front of a computer.’’

Strugnell is teaching the next generation of games makers and he describes Australia as experimental and adventurous in creation.

Australia, he says, doesn’t create the A level games that America does and instead has found a niche in innovation. For the most part, he teaches students how to make computer games and fi lms digitally, similar to Shrek and Avatar. AIE offers a two-year course specialising in practicality in an attempt to simulate a real-life studio.

So can games get the better of some? ‘‘That is defi nitely a danger,’’ Strugnell concedes. ‘‘They are psychologically addictive to certain personalities.

‘‘It’s something we encounter. We notice some students don’t do so well because they have literally become addicted to a game. I’ve had that a few times over the years.’’

Strugnell says a passion for games usually starts in childhood. For some it fi zzles out, and for others it becomes a lifelong thing. ‘‘Some people, they grow out of it. It’s just a childhood thing and when they stop playing other sorts of games they stop playing computer games ... other things take over. The sort of people who continue are usually people who like the adrenaline rush, can’t go skiing, and want some of the same buzz.’’

East Keilor resident Scott Pearce, 42, is part of the generation that never grew up. In his 20s, Pearce started playing Warhammer Fantasy, a tabletop war game with mass scale armies of soldiers, dragons and mythical creatures. A signifi cant part of the game involves assembling the kits and painting models. For some it outweighs the actual playing. Pearce has collected nearly every army that the manufacturer has made.

‘‘I love the building and the creativity,’’ he says. ‘‘The gaming is fun. I used to play a lot more than I do now. But I like the ability to create my own versions of what it is.’’

On a typical Wednesday, Pearce, a chef, can be found at the Games Workshop store in Ascot Vale, where almost a dozen people of various ages come to hang out. He spends hours on end, up to eight in a sitting, immersed in his hobby. ‘‘I use the shop as my games base. It’s my escape,’’ he says. ‘‘I used to do parachuting and motorbike riding. It’s one of those things I can do rain, hail, or shine, and it’s very social.’’

Do people fi nd his obsession weird? ‘‘Hell yeah. It’s one of those things where people have a preconceived idea. Sometimes they change their mind once they’ve seen it.

Others still see it as playing with toys.’’Sitting alongside Pearce is 16-year-old schoolkid

Tyler Watson, who is relatively new to the hobby. Watson says he prefers Warhammer to console games because you can meet people and make friends. He prefers the preparation and the painting to the actual game.

‘‘The painting takes quite a while. You put your heart and soul into it. You’re proud of what

the model looks like.’’Watson can already see his

hobby turning into a lifelong obsession. ‘‘One day I was

just walking down the street and saw the shop and came

in, did a test model, and sort of fell in love with it. That was it for me. Hooked ever since.’’

Williamstown resident Stuart Lamble also looked to games when seeking a social outlet. Two years ago he was living in Auckland and trying to meet people.

‘‘I needed something to get out and meet people and this was the most expedient option.’’

When he moved back to Melbourne he joined Cafe Games, a board games club based in Melbourne. About 70 people meet regularly in the CBD to catch up and play games.

The 37-year-old’s favourite is Ticket to Ride: Europe, a railway-themed board game. ‘‘I don’t mind playing a game and losing as long as everyone’s played well,’’ he says. ‘‘I work in IT in a small company and see the same fi ve to six people every day. It’s nice to get out and meet people.’’

Strugnell says people play games for a variety of reasons including boredom and interacting with others. He plays both PC and console games regularly, and even dressed as game character Solid Snake from Metal Gear in a Guinness World Records attempt by AIE this year to have the most number of game characters in a single room.

‘‘If you’re playing a computer game, you’re part of a story. And with quite a lot of games you can direct the story yourself. Essentially, it’s being in a movie.’’

Perhaps the strongest pointer to Australia’s fascination with games was last year’s announcement that the Penny Arcade Expo will be held at the Melbourne Showgrounds this July. Usually held in Seattle and Boston, it celebrates console gamers, computer gamers and tabletop gamers. It will be the fi rst time the expo will be held outside the US.

The three-day festival includes concerts inspired by game culture, panels on game topics, and tournaments.

Eric Papaluca bought a three-day pass and will take along his PC, paying extra for security staff to watch over it.

One of the more interesting aspects of the festival is Omegathon, a tournament consisting of a group of randomly selected fans competing for a grand prize. Papaluca hopes to be one of the lucky dozen selected.

Asked how long he believes his games fascination will last, he seems fi xed on it clicking over.

‘‘Forever, because it’s what I’m best at. It’s like my skill and my hobby.’’ �

Re Hume Council denies ‘squan-dering’ ( Weekly, January 29):I cannot believe that the council will wastemore money on ‘sculptured features’ for thelocal idiots to cover with graffiti.Does anyone ever use common sense whendeciding how money is to be spent? I thinknot. You only have to stroll along the streetsof Craigieburn to see rubbish dumped onnature strips (I contact the council constantlyregarding this matter) and see the graffiti onprivate and public property. Who choosestheseso-called sculptured features? If they are

anything like those along Craigieburn westnear the lake, I can only say any local handy-man could do the same for very little cost. Or. . . (here’s a radical thought) why not planttrees? Nature makes quite nice artwork and itis healthy for the environment.

A doff of the hat to Fez’s exotic fareFEZ, MOROCCOGetting there: Fly Melbourne to Fez, via

Doha and Casablanca

Accommodation: Hotel Batha, Place de

l’Istiqlal, Fez, Morocco

Details:tripadvisor.com.au

BY REBECCA MILLER

Travellers shouldn’t worry about the heatand possible culture shock when consider-ing a trip to Fez, Morocco. I went last year

and loved the experience.There’s plenty of things to love about Fez,

including the sunny weather, historical buildings,food and drink— traditional tagine followed bymint tea anyone?

Whether its a chicken, beef or vegie taginewith cous cous they’re all delicious and filling,while very sweet mint tea is a refreshingfinisher.

And my accommodation, like many buildingsin Morocco, was decorated with mosaics. Myhotel — once the British Embassy when Fez wasthe capital of Morocco — was at the foot of themedina (old city).

I’d recommend a tour guide as the medina islike a rabbit warren and not the kind of placeyou want to get lost in the heat.

A guide is also handy for people who don’tspeak Arabic, French or Spanish as not everyone

speaks English yet, although clearly they’redoing well in the multilingual department!

The medina consists of market stalls,businesses, mosques and living quarters.

I visited a leather tannery and was given alarge sprig of mint to sniff during the tour andthank goodness because the big, leather-soakingpots smelt like sewage but the colours werebeautiful, just like the products in theirshop.

A visit to a pottery where traditional bowls,vases and tagines are made was interesting, just ashame it’s hard to bring the fragile, hand-paintedwares home.

And stepping inside a traditional pharmacywas intriguing with its various herbs, remediesand natural perfumes displayed in jars.

Victorian greens lure IndiansBY TEO PELLIZZERI

INDIA’S best lawn bowlers are look-ing to find form on Victorian greens inpursuit of Australian Open successthis month and a berth at next year’sGlasgow Commonwealth Games.

Mohammad Raja, 33 and ManuKumari Pal, 30, will be competing toqualify for the main draw of the Aus-tralian Open next week as they strivefor the long-term goal of Common-wealth Games medals.

The duo represented India at theDelhi Commonwealth Games in 2010and are now competing for Maribyr-nong Park in Saturday pennant.

Neither had been to Australiabefore and were blown away by thecountry’s passion for lawn bowls.

The sprawl of bowling clubs scat-tered across Melbourne is in stark con-trast to India where six years agoRoyal Calcutta was the nation’s onlybowls club.

Both live in Assam state in north-

east India, where there is now a bowl-ing club in the capital Guwahati, withRaja growing up in the region whilePal is originally from Uttar Pradesh inthe north.

But both are hoping for a long Aus-tralian stint to push their skills to thenext level.

Richard Gale, who in conjunctionwith Henselite Bowls is sponsoringRaja and Pal’s stay in Australia, hasoverseen the game’s rise in India withhis role as co-ordinator for the 2007national games and then a full-timestint as the national and Common-wealth Games coach from 2008 to2010.

‘‘At the moment bowls is a veryniche sport,’’ he said.

‘‘There are bowling centres with alot of young players sponsored by thegovernment.

‘‘They’re playing in qualifying as astepping stone to get into the maindraw, and they’re both in form and agood chance of getting there.

‘‘Both are bringing experience tohelp the Maribyrnong Park sides theyplay in. Hopefully later on in the yearthey’ll come back and play for the nextcouple of years.’’

Raja and Pal started bowling in2008. Raja was previously a cyclistwhile Pal competed in sprints and longjump.

Both found they had greater skillson the green.

‘‘I’m having fun here with bowls,there is more competition and we aretraining hard for our qualifyingchance at the Australian Open,’’ Rajasaid.

‘‘We feel very proud to play forIndia. The Glasgow CommonwealthGames will be tough which is why weneed more practise outside of India.

‘‘It’s very different in Australia. Hereyou have competition every week,there is no pennant in India.’’

Pal said her interest in bowls startedafter visiting the Guwahati club withfriends to look at the sport.

‘‘Unfortunately we could not get amedal in the Commonwealth Gamesin Delhi, but hopefully we can one dayget a medal,’’ she said.

‘‘Coming here to practise gives usexperience, so we can prepare our-selves against other players.

‘‘In India we only have one greenwith real grass.’’

Pal finished runner-up in women’spairs representing India in last year’sAsian Lawn Bowls Championships inKuala Lumpur, while Raja had successin the previous edition of the tourna-ment, 2009 in Shenzen, China, with abronze in the men’s triples.

In addition to singles qualifying, Palwill play pairs alongside NSW’s SarahBoddington, while Raja will play pairswith Moonee Ponds’ Gary Ball andtriples with Ball and Gale.

The Bowls Australia Last Chancequalifying tournament starts nextweek at Darebin International SportsCentre, while the tournament properruns February 17 to 23.

INBRIEF

EDFLHume will have its own Anzac Day

blockbuster after Glenroy and

Westmeadows moved their division 1

clash to Thursday, April 25. The Premier

Division fixture was finalised last week

with the season starting on Good

Friday, March 29, and running through

to grand final day on September 14.

Strathmore and Keilor will start the

season on Good Friday, with round one

on April 13. Greenvale will unfurl the

premiership flag at home against Keilor

in round two, while the rematch of last

year’s grand final against Strathmore

will be at Greenvale in round five.

VTCAGreenvale lost to Yarraville Club by 54

runs at the weekend but held on to top

spot by a slender margin in Senior

Division. Bowled out for 122 in reply to

176, Greenvale clung on to the ladder

lead with 74.59 points from Yarraville

Club’s 74.18. Greenvale bowed out of

the Twenty20 competition last week as

Tarek Moughanie’s 70no was not

enough to chase down Haig Fawkner

(7-136) as Greenvale finished 3-121 in

reply. In North Division, Tullamarine

thrashed Laverton outright to claim top

spot on the ladder. Tullamarine (175 and

0-9) was set a simple second-innings

chase after bowling out Laverton for 57

and then 126 following on.

VSDCASyed Hussain’s lone hand saved

Roxburgh Park-Broadmeadows from

oblivion on Saturday as his 105 held

together the Falcons’ innings of 166

against Kingston Saints, who were 2-56

at stumps.

NWMCAJohn Kulikowski’s 99 was not enough

to lift Roxburgh Park-Broadmeadows

as the chase fell 129 runs short against

Kealba-Green Gully on Saturday in

Luscombe Shield. RPB was all out for

214 in reply to Kealba-Green Gully’s

3-343 set the previous weekend.

Gladstone Park battled to 156 in its

second dig to deny Pascoe Vale Central

a sniff of outright points, having already

lost the first innings by nine wickets.
