�omastown Traders Association has called on Whittlesea council to make the High Street shopping precinct an alcohol-free zone.

Association president Michael Rossi has written to Whittlesea council chief executive David Turnbull requesting the dry zone in a bid to stamp out what he says is drunken behaviour.

Mr Rossi, who runs Vinny and Mick’s Northern Barbershop, said shop owners and

Booze ban demandtenants were fed up with people who parked themselves on park benches for hours on end drinking and making a scene.

“�ey spend hours there drinking and getting loud,” he said.

“A lot of shopkeepers don’t like people sitting outside their stores drinking beer. It doesn’t look good.”

Mr Rossi, who has run the barbershop for about 20 years, said it was the same group of people who bought their liquor from a nearby bottle shop and drank to excess.

“It’s been happening for years,” Mr Rossi

said. “�ey drink to the point where they can’t stand up.”

He added that some people appeared to be a�ected by drugs.

Vaikunth Gohil, who runs the �omastown News and Lotto Centre, said he was fed up with bad behaviour out the front of his shop where a group of men o�en appeared to be intoxicated.

“It also causes an issue when they come into the store . . . you don’t know how to handle them, they’re unpredictable,” he said.

Mr Gohil said he had never had any success when he called police to intervene.

But Epping’s Sergeant Graeme Tresidder said he was unaware of the issue. “It’s not something that’s come to our attention,” he said.

A Whittlesea council spokeswoman said there were no by-laws prohibiting the public consumption of alcohol in �omastown or in the municipality in general. Council sta� will conduct a report into the issue before it is raised at a council meeting later in the year.

An alternative for teens who struggle in mainstream schooling has opened in Broadmeadows.

A new school will operate under the auspices of Roxburgh College, o�ering alternatives tailor-made for the educational, behavioural or social needs of students in a way not o�ered in a traditional school environment.

Roxburgh College principal Fernando Ianni said the school had been pushing for a “gateway” school for some time, and

average of 27.9 per cent. Another report, jointly commissioned by Hume Whittlesea LLEN and Youth Connections in 2012, found almost six per cent of school students under the age of 16 in Hume missed about 40 days of school each year, three times the average.

Mr Ianni says the new school, a partnership with Hume council, will be modelled on �e Pavilion School, developed in Melbournein 2007 for adolescents who have disengaged or been excluded from mainstream education.

�e aim is to have two classes, each of about 15

jumped at the opportunity to manage one in Broadmeadows.

“For some time, we’ve felt there’s a need to capture kids who don’t gel with the mainstream education environment,” he said.

“And there’s been an intention to have an alternative education provision in the city of Hume.”

He said 2006 census �gures showed low levels of education among 16-year-olds in Hume.

According to the census data, 35.7 per cent of students in Hume le� school in year 10 or before, signi�cantly higher than the Melbourne

students, attend either a morning or a�ernoon “studio session”. �e new Gateway School opened its doors last week. It is operating in the council’s Youth Services building in Pearcedale Parade, Broadmeadows.

Mr Ianni says he hopes the Gateway School will reconnect teens to education.

“�e options are that they reconnect and then, potentially, they begin to identify that there are further pathways for them, whether it’s school, TAFE or employment,” he said.

For more information, call campus manager Justin Matt on 0475 836 988.

Gateway to a different education

David Farmer (pictured) understands like few others the importance of consuming foods rich in vitamin K. The Broadmeadows shopping centre general manager was born with congenital heart disease. He underwent major heart surgery at the age of �ve and now takes medication to thin his blood, not to mention stocking up on broccoli and other foods high in vitamin K to help prevent blood clots. “But it’s never slowed me down,” the now-28-year-old Epping resident said. On Super Boss Day next Thursday he’ll be dressing up in a super-hero costume to raise money for children with heart disease and their families. The funds will go toward HeartKids, a charity that supports children with the disease as well as raising awareness and funding vital research. To donate, go online at www.superbossday.org.au.

Whittlesea McDonald’s has the go-ahead to trade 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Despite two objections, Whittlesea councillors voted unanimously last week to amend the fast food restaurant’s permit to extend its trading hours.

�e Plenty Road McDonald’s �rst applied to the council to trade 24/7 in November 2011. It was knocked back in favour of more restrictive trading hours, from 6am until midnight, Sunday to �ursday, and from 6am until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.

you either go to Whittlesea Bowls Club or to McDonald’s.” Cr Gri�en also highlighted the employment opportunities extended trading hours would bring.

“A lot of people who have been against it in the past have since asked for sponsorship,” he said. “�ey not only employ more than 100 people but they sponsor local clubs. And I’d

Two objections to the latest application were received citing “adverse amenity” impacts and the negative social impact of the McDonald’s restaurant.

However Whittlesea councillors voted to approve the restaurant’s permit amendment without debate.

Councillor Rex Gri�en, who confesses to be fond of a so� serve cone every now and then, said he had no issue with McDonald’s wanting extended trading hours.

“I know when you go up to Whittlesea at night time, most of the shops close at 7pm and, if you want a co�ee to keep you awake,

rather kids hang around there than at pubs.”In his report, planning and major projects

director Steve O’Brien recommended approving the application because of the local employment opportunities extended trading hours would bring and the restaurant’s location in an industrial zone.

Councillor Sam Alessi also strongly backed the change because he said it would provide a place for young people to meet at night.

“�ere’s not much happening in the township overnight. Young people can go and sit down and have a co�ee instead of perhaps hooning around the street,” he said.

Ivanhoe Grammar students skipped and played hopscotch, marbles, card games and quoits last Thursday to celebrate the school’s 100th anniversary. On February 9, 1915, the school’s original headmaster, Reverend Sydney Buckley, of�cially opened the doors for the �rst 14 students of the then St James Church of England Grammar School for Boys. The school now has three campuses, with the Plenty campus at Mernda in its 25th year. To celebrate, students walked through a guard of honour beside riders representing a light horse brigade. They then watched a re-enactment of the school’s �rst students in the playground, dressed as they would have been 100 years ago. Lexi Cottee

�e world of online dating has not been kind to women in Melbourne’s outer northern suburbs.

A study conducted by the Centre for Internet Safety at the University of Canberra found that middle-aged women living in the federal seat of Calwell were the most frequent victims of online dating scams in Australia.

�e study’s author, Nigel Phair, said statistics from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission reveal that women in

losses through job and investment scams. Overall, the total amount lost from reported scams throughout Australia in 2014 was more than $64.5 million. �is represents $5.20 for every Australian internet user.

More than $20 million was lost to dating scams alone.

Mr Phair said while there were plenty of government funded safety tips about using the internet, he felt these were piecemeal.

He said a holistic campaign was needed to protect internet users.

Calwell aged 45 to 54 self-reported the greatest losses to online dating scams last year.

�e centre’s report found that men in the same age bracket living in the federal seat of McEwen su�ered the highest reported internet

�ere were more than 12.4 million internet subscribers in Australia at the end of June 2014.

Mr Phair said online scams a�ected people in di�erent ways; some lost their life savings while for others the greatest toll was emotional.

“�ey thought they trusted someone, only to be conned,” Mr Phair said.

“�e more people connect online, the greater the need to understand the implications of online security, safety and privacy.”

Hume residents will see a lot more of star Kangaroos’ mid�elder Daniel Wells this year. The North Melbourne footballer is the new Healthy Together Hume ambassador, charged with promoting healthy living in the city. Last week, he put Hume mayor Adem Atmaca through his paces and later spoke to Cr Atmaca and council workers about the underlying causes of chronic diseases, which are often triggered by inactivity. Department of Health data reveals a third of children living in Hume do not achieve the basics of at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. The council’s partnership with North Melbourne Football Club aims to build a healthier future for everyone who lives, learns, works or plays in the city of Hume.

Egg sandwiches aren’t encouraged at Laurimar Primary School. That’s because the Doreen school has 21 pupils who suffer from anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction that can cause death. To ensure the students aren’t at risk while at school, principal Jason McBean (pictured with prep teacher Samantha Mercuri and pupils) signed the school up to a national Raise Your Hand for Anaphylaxis awareness campaign. The campaign encouraged schools to show their commitment to anaphylaxis awareness in the school by “raising a hand” in support. In December, Laurimar Primary School was named the winner after raising almost 52,000 virtual hands. Yesterday at a school assembly, Mr McBean and pupils were presented with the award and a $10,000 grant. He said the money would pay for more EpiPens – used for the treatment of anaphylaxis – and to conduct more allergy education and training days for teachers and pupils. Lexi Cottee

Hume home owners are struggling to make their mortgage repayments, a global ratings agency has found.

�e latest Fitch Ratings Mortgage Delinquency Report reported Hume as the worst-performing region in Australia by the dollar value of missed payments and the number of delinquent mortgages.

However, the report’s author, James Zanesi, said the area had witnessed some improvement in the past six months, with delinquencies down 1.26 per cent since peaking in March last year.

“Normally, these regions in outer-ring suburbs show high levels of arrears but, because of low interest rates, this area is picking up,” Mr Zanesi said.

Over the six months to the end of last September, mortgage performance in most regions of Australia improved or remained stable.

However, Melbourne’s north-western suburbs bucked trends and overtook Sydney’s western suburbs as the worst- performing regions in the country as of September 2014.

�e report predicted continuing poor performance in these areas due to socio-economic variables, an increase in unemployment and only a slight appreciation in house prices.

Mr Zanesi said Hume was characterised by householders who commute to work and are typically low-income earners.

“�ey can’t a�ord to buy closer to the city and are very sensitive to interest rate movement,” he said.

North hit hard by loan stress

By Lexi Cottee

�e search for a box containing the cremated remains of a stillborn baby began with 10 tonnes of garbage in a cordoned-o� area at Wollert land�ll.

�e �rst lot of waste was dumped on the ground for SES volunteers, Hanson Land�ll Services and Tobin Brothers sta� to do a line search using garden rakes to si� through the detritus.

Once that pile of garbage had been scoured for the little cardboard box – accidentally thrown out with the trash by a Tobin Brothers sta� member – the exercise was repeated … about 150 times.

A rotating army of sta� and volunteers spent eight days scouring piles of rotting food scraps, milk cartons and printer cartridges without sighting the box.

To recognise their e�orts, Whittlesea local area commander Inspector Bob Dykstra last week awarded SES volunteers and Hanson Land�ll Services sta� a group citation award for their “tireless and dedicated work”.

“�e planning and execution of the operation could not have occurred without the expert site knowledge and contribution of you and your sta�,” Inspector Dykstra said to operations manager Harry Taylor, of Hanson Land�ll Services.

“Over eight days, some 1500 tonnes of waste was excavated, transported and spread to enable a thorough search by hand. Your sta� were skilled and respectful of the sensitivities of the operation,” he said.

Mr Taylor said it was not the �rst time he had co-ordinated a search operation. �e previous time was for a “very large cache of jewellery” 20 years ago, which was later exposed as attempted insurance fraud.

Land�ll a host to heroes

He said searchers were “profoundly moved by the plight of this couple”.

Whittlesea SES unit controller Gary Doorbar said 69 SES members from eight brigades were

involved in the search. “We thought if we searched the whole lot we would �nd it, but there were so many variables. It was emotionally and physically tolling.”

Troy Fosbender says his work can be testing, but it has its consolations. As a �ight paramedic with Ambulance Victoria, the 48-year-old Epping resident takes to the skies as a matter of course.

“Flying between Bairnsdale and Albury is pretty spectacular, looking out over the snow�elds at the right time of year,” he said.

It’s little wonder Mr Fosbender has clocked up two decades as part of Ambulance Victoria’s air wing, ferrying time-critical rural patients to and from medical support. �is year also marks his 25th year as a paramedic.

Mr Fosbender said that while he had never expected to spend 20 years of his working life in the sky, as a child he dreamt of becoming a pilot.

He le� school at 16 to join the navy, with plans to transfer into the navy’s aviation branch.

For six years he worked as a medic based at HMAS Cerberus in Westernport, including 18 months at sea. “When Air Ambulance came up, it was a chance to combine them both,” Mr Fosbender said.

Every week the veteran paramedic transports patients from regional cities for cancer, cardiac or other specialist treatment. So far he’s been on-board 9628 �ights, and he has spent more than 9200 hours in a plane since his �rst �ight took o� in 1994. “Some of the highlights would be looking out for people in the bush,” he said. “�ey’re tougher in the bush. I believe they do it a lot harder. If they need a service, they need it. It’s not just on a whim.”

An Ambulance Victoria spokesman said demand for the �xed-wing paramedic service was increasing, with 5414 patients needing air transport in 2013 and 2014, 395 more than the previous year.

Tough job, but the view’s great

Growling grass frog populations at Organ Pipes National Park near Melbourne Airport are expected to surge over the next three years as the planting of shrubs, grasses and 13,000 native trees restores their natural habitat.

Federal funding of more than $67,000 via the 20 Million Trees Program will go towards the revegetation e�ort at a major escarpment along Jacksons Creek.

Friends of Organ Pipes National Park (FOPNP) o�cer Ian Taylor said the project would be extremely bene�cial for the endangered frog, which is listed as part of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

�e frogs, sometimes unkindly calledthe warty swamp frog, were once so abundant that they were used to teach dissectionat universities and were fed to the snakesat Melbourne Zoo.

Nowadays, less rain, infectious diseases and the loss and fragmentation of natural habitat have led populations to dwindle.

�e frogs’ national conservation status is deemed vulnerable and, under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, the frog is listed as endangered.

Mr Taylor applied for the 20 Million Trees Program funding to complete the tree-planting project late last year.

News of the groups’ success was met with joy last week among FOPNP volunteers.

Group convener Terry Lane, of Sunbury, said the grant would enable the team of volunteers to step up conservation work in the park.

He said the group has laboured away planting indigenous trees since 1972.

Volunteers will meet this month to determine planting and weeding dates, and to organise

�e 20 Million Trees Program will provide $50 million over four years to regenerate parkland across the country.

New tra�c lights at one of Craigieburn’s most notorious intersections will be delayed.

A Hume council spokeswoman said the council awarded a contract for installing the lights on December 16 last year.

But a date had not yet been set for work to start because water mains and power poles in the area must �rst be relocated.

Yarra Valley Water will upgrade the mains near the intersection before work on the tra�c lights can begin.

�e spokeswoman said it was originally hoped that work would be �nished before the Craigieburn Festival on February 28.

She said energy infrastructure company Jemena would then relocate the power poles in the �rst week of March.

But a Yarra Valley Water spokesman told Star Weekly that construction of a new 450-metre water main along Craigieburn Road, between Hanson Road and Belsay Place, would begin in mid-February, pending approvals from Hume council and VicRoads.

It was hoped that work would be �nished by May.

McEwen MP Rob Mitchell said the intersection was one of the biggest issues Craigieburn residents had raised with him over the past four years.

“As someone who lived in Craigieburn for over 10 years I know how this intersection has been a constant pain for locals,” he said.

SPORTDaniel Kelly has climbed to the summit of his previous two sports, so why start doubting him now?

Kelly represented Australia in judo at four Olympic Games over a 12-year span and made it to the Commonwealth Games in wrestling.

�e 37-year-old has proven he will leave no stone unturned to be physically ready to take on the world’s best, and he has the mental toughness to make it to the top.

When Kelly decided to jump into the octagon and give mixed martial arts a try, his move was met with derision from some quarters.

Kelly, who runs Resilience Training Centre at Footscray, teaching kids the �ner points of martial arts, wanted a new edge to his competitive sporting exploits.

He had long admired the athletes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) of the United States and the Pride Fighting

Kelly’s kimura moment the ultimate thrillChampionship (PFC) of Japan, so he thought, why not give it go?

“�e way I break down MMA in a really basic way is striking, take downs and ground game,” Kelly told Star Weekly.

“�e judo has given me an okay base in ground game, an okay base in the take downs, but I started striking from scratch and obviously had to change my tactics and quite a few of the skills in the ground game and take- downs, because there’s no judo jacket in MMA.

“�e biggest thing that I had to do was start doing striking, the boxing and the kickboxing.”

So Kelly went to work.Every day in the gym, he boxed and

kickboxed, then repeated it the next day and the next.

Once he felt comfortable that he had the skills to compete locally in MMA, he stepped into the octagon.

Seven wins in seven bouts earned Kelly a spot on the card for UFC Fight Night 55 in Sydney.

�e Westmeadows resident still had his knockers, particularly a�er a �rst round submission to Sheldon Westcott in the Ultimate Fighter reality television show.

Kelly, who is under no illusions of the dangers of competing in such a brutal sport as MMA, was hellbent on proving his doubters wrong.

He stepped up in front of a massive crowd at Allphones Arena in Sydney for his UFC debut, beating American Luke Zachrich by submission with a kimura.

It was the moment Kelly arrived in the sport, and one he will always cherish.

“It was very satisfying getting your �rst win in the UFC and proving quite a few people wrong who said you don’t belong there, you shouldn’t be doing it, you’re too old and this and

that,” Kelly said.“I was on the reality TV show and that didn’t go very well for me so that was a bit of redemption for me in Sydney to prove to myself and everyone that I can compete at that level.”

Kelly is no one-shot wonder, and now he wants to carve out a career in the UFC.

All going well, he plans to compete at the top level for at least four years.

“I want to get as far as I can in this sport – I wouldn’t be doing it otherwise.”

Kelly is married to Maria Pekli, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Olympic bronze medallist in judo. Pekli is supportive of her husband’s career move to MMA. Meanwhile, Kelly takes the next step in his new career when he competes on the UFC Fight Night main card in Colorado on February 14.

Craigieburn Cricket Club president Gerard La�an has had an injury-free run most sports people could only dream about.

�e batsman, who played his 400th game last month for the Victorian Turf Cricket Association and North West Metropolitan Cricket Association club, only missed half a dozen-odd games through injury during his career.

La�an, who is captain of the Keith Stringer Shield side in the NWMCA this season, has had a massive impact at Craigieburn, on and o� the �eld, since playing his �rst match in 1977.

He has played in six winning grand �nals and been in the runner-up side a further nine times.

La�an has also been vice-president, treasurer, junior coach and representative coach at Craigieburn and was president of the NWMCA juniors.

His four sons, Chris, Matt, Simon and Samuel have all played senior cricket at the club.

La�an isn’t the only Craigieburn player to reach a milestone at the club this season.

Premiership players Bill Imlach, Luke Aquilina and Steve Trimbos all made it to the crease for their 200th games.

Imlach, the club’s all-time leading wicket taker, started at Craigieburn in 1994 and returned a�er a couple of years o�. He played his 200th game in the same match as La�an’s 400th.

He has taken 440 wickets and played in three premierships during his career. �e former club champion has won the club bowling average four times, and taken eight wickets in a game three times.

Aquilina, who started at the club in the under-16s, played his 200th game alongside brother Nick in the NWMCA Athol Attwater Shield in December. �e bowler has captained the club for three years and taken 230 wickets.

Like Imlach, Trimbos returned to the club a�er a �ve-year break. �e two-time premiership player made his debut in 1981 and was club champion in the 1999-2000 season. He coached the club’s �rst ever women’s side to an under-17 premiership and is in the Keith Stringer Shield. playing his 200th game in round seven.

Champs shine at Craigieburn

By Tara Murray

Plenty is welcoming the task of chasing a challenging total on day two of the match with Epping in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association’s Barclay Shield.

While Plenty’s �nals berth is already secure, the team wants to ensure it goes into the �nals �ring on all cylinders.

Captain-coach Steve Villani says his side is con�dent of chasing down Epping’s 205, even though Plenty was 2-13 at stumps.

“It’s a good challenge,” he said. “You don’t want to go out in the �rst week of �nals having played a couple of easy games.

“It’s perfect for us and they’ll keep us honest, which is what we want.”

The thrill of the chasePlenty’s Andrew Villani toiled hard against Epping. (Wayne Hawkins)

Epping ensured it would make a game of it with crucial partnerships in the middle of the innings on day one of the match on Saturday, opener Anthony Licovski top-scoring with 94.

“We got a couple of early wickets and then they steadied,” Villani said.

“We dropped a few chances and missed a run out. We didn’t �eld that well or bowl our best, which will happen to every team at some point of the season.”

Plenty’s start to its innings wasn’t what it would have liked, losing both openers quickly, but Villani wasn’t fazed.

“When you face nine overs, like we did, you’ll sometimes lose wickets,” he said.

“It’s an ideal opportunity for our middle order to get some time in the middle. Some of

our guys haven’t really had a chance to make runs since Christmas.”

Bundoora will restart its innings at 3-23 against Bundoora United, which made 138 in its innings. Neither side is in the �nals mix.

Old Paradians-St Francis’s hopes of a win over Riverside were hurt by the loss of two wickets late in the day.

A�er restricting Riverside to 189, the Wolves faced 17 overs before stumps and reached 2-17.

In Money Shield, Mernda has already secured �rst-innings points on the back of centuries to Jordan Dean (104) and Ashley Williams (150).

Mernda is 2-281 a�er bowling out Lower Plenty for 59.

Broadmeadows’ cemented a spot in the top two of Victorian Bowls pennant division 2, section 2 with a strong win over West Coburg on Saturday.

A�er being thrashed by Buckley Park the previous week, Broadmeadows bounced back to win two rinks and split a third in the 15 (92)- 3 (61) success.

Broadmeadows is 28 points behind leader Preston-Reservoir, while third placed Craigieburn is 15 points further back a�er a 14 (81)-4 (72) victory over Essendon (3).

In premier division, Bundoora RSL remains in second place a�er a 16 (84)-2 (67) win over Clayton.

RSL is 14 points behind top-placed Altona and 12 points clear of third placed Melbourne.

Bundoora RSL (2) is guaranteed a �nals spot in division 1, section 1 a�er a win over Croydon.

RSL (2) is third on the ladder, 59 points clear of fourth placed Croydon with two rounds remaining.

Sixth-placed Whittlesea is one of four teams �ghting for fourth spot, with only 10 points between them.

Whittlesea is only three points outside the top four a�er victory over Brighton (2).

In division 1, section 2, Lalor (2) is looking to avoid the wooden spoon.

With two rounds le�, Lalor (2) is in ninth spot, 14 points clear of bottom-placed Berwick.

But Lalor (2) has a tough �nish to the season, with matches against top two Altona (2) and Werribee (1) in the �nal two rounds.

Lalor (1) remains winless in division1, section 3 and will �nish bottom of the ladder.

�ey have only �ve points for the season, 105 behind ninth-placed Richmond Union. Broadmeadows, including Alan Drury, are �nals bound. (Shawn Smits)

Broady bounces backPremier CricketA late comeback with the ball ensured Greenvale Kangaroos are still in the �ght against Monash Tigers in Premier Cricket. The Tigers got off to a �yer to be 1-131 before the Kangaroos rebounded. The last six wickets fell for 39 as the Tigers were bowled out for 256. The Kangaroos, who have improved with the bat in recent weeks, �nished day one at 1-30, with Tony Ura not out on 20.

VSDCABrad Mitchell’s hot form with the bat continued for Plenty Valley in Sub-District cricket’s north-west division on Saturday. Fresh from 175 not out last week, Mitchell top-scored for the Bats with 64 not out in his team’s score of 197 against Preston. Ladder leaders Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows bowlers were again in the thick of the action against Kew. After sending Kew in, the Falcons restricted them to 156. Patrick Matautaava took four wickets and captain-coach Mitch Johnstone three.

NWMCAThe loss of quick wickets has put Gladstone Park on the back foot against Strathmore Heights in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association. Heights got off to a �yer, with most batsmen making a contribution on the way to 292. Gladstone Park’s reply got off to the worst possible start, both openers falling for ducks and star batsman Ryan Achilles for �ve. They will resume at 3-33 on day two.

Keon Park, Lalor jostle for second placeKeon Park wants to take both the points and North Brunswick/Rosebank’s second place on the ladder in North Metro Cricket’s Jika Shield.

A win to third-placed Keon Park on day two of the match on Saturday will see them move within two points of North Brunswick/Rosebank behind runaway leader Rivergum.

Keon Park made 250 on day one of the match at Cotchin Reserve on the back of 88 by Michael White and 82 from Ryan Docherty.

Captain Scott Nicholson said 250 was a par score.

“It puts us in the game and we’re pretty happy with what we made, although you always want a little more,” he said.

“Our bowling has been our strength all season, so we’re hoping it’s enough. Nobody has got 200 against us this season.”

Nicholson said his side’s batting was the key to its �nals chances.

“It is 100 per cent the key,” he said. “�e games we have lost we have let ourselves down with the bat. Our experienced players like White and Docherty are starting to hit form and younger players like Jordan McNamara are stepping up.”

Lalor Warriors, equal on points with Keon Park, is looking for an outright victory against Olympic Colts.

�e Warriors bowlers made it hard work for the Colts batsmen, skittling them for 72.

�e Warriors declared at 7-240 and le� the Colts to face four overs at the end of the day to reach 0-3 by stumps.

An outright victory to the Warriors could see them move to second on the ladder if Keon

Park beats North Brunswick/Rosebank on �rst innings.

Rivergum decided it was happy just to take �rst-innings points in the match between the top and bottom sides.

With Rivergum already guaranteed to �nish on top of the ladder, the match against Preston YCW District was called o� at stumps on day one, with Rivergum already claiming six points.

YCW District decided to bat �rst, but were le� to rue that decision as they were bowled out for 77. Rivergum shared the wickets around with four players taking two each. In reply, Rivergum easily passed the total, �nishing the day at 2-161.

Essendon District Football League interleague coach Mick McGuane knows what it’s like to play representative football and is bringing that experience to the EDFL’S interleague side.

McGuane, who also coaches Keilor in the premier division, played four State of Origin matches for Victoria.

And he said he expected the EDFL players to apply the same dedication to their task as he puts in to coaching the team.

�e EDFL will play the Southern Football League on March 28 as part of AFL Victoria Metro Championships.

“�e signature message to me from some of the most respected players in the league is that there is buy-in,” McGuane said.

“Anyone involved has an obligation to the league they are representing.

“We’ve come up with a group that we believe is going to be excited about representing the competition.”

�e 39-player initial squad is an experienced one, with 10 players having previously been on AFL lists – Kyle Reimers, Luke Davis, Andrew Browne, Ryan Bathie, Gavin Urquhart, Michael Ross, Ash Arrowsmith, Adam Iacobucci, Josh Toy and Patrick Rose.

Last year’s EDFL grand �nalists, Aberfeldie and Strathmore, have most players in the squad with six each.

�e premier division’s joint leading goal kickers, Dean Galea and Patrick Rose, will again team up to lead the EDFL attack.

Greenvale has three representatives in the squad, Daniel Campisano, Stephen Brewer and Sam Zumbo.

All 10 premier division sides have players in the squad, including newly promoted West Coburg with two.

McGuane said while the squad was an experienced one, some younger players had also been included.

“�e introduction of some developing young players is exciting for them to feed o� the experience and wisdom of some of the senior players in the squad,” McGuane said.

“We know the squad doesn’t equate to the 24 selected for the game so some players have to earn the right to be selected.”

Championships rules say only players who played in the EDFL in 2014 are eligible for selection, ruling out former AFL players Brock McLean and Jason and Cameron Cloke who joined in the o� season.

Reigning Reynolds medalist Mark Blake wasn’t available for personal reasons.

Batsmen were le� to rue poor shots in the north A1 turf cricket clash between St Albans and Craigieburn with 18 wickets falling on day one.

Top-of-the-table St Albans elected to bat on a good wicket but was bowled out for 105.

In reply, Craigieburn �nished 7-78, 28 runs short of victory.

Craigieburn captain Mick Bury said that before batting his side had been con�dent of chasing down the small total.

“It was surprising how many wickets fell, as it was a good wicket,” he said.

“Bad shot choice was the issue. I spoke to the captain of the other side a�er the game and he said the same thing.

“We should have got to the total two, three wickets down and were very con�dent about it.

Bats let chances slipChris Laffan helps Craigieburn bowl St Albans out for 105 (Wayne Hawkins)

“�ey bowled well, but not super good. Poor shot selection was the di�erence.”

Bury said his side remained hopeful of taking victory.

“We have three batsmen … if they get 10 runs each, then we win,” he said. “Our No.6, Je� Arthur, is still in.”

A win for sixth-placed Craigieburn would help with its �nals hopes.

“It will keep us alive,” Bury said. “It’s tight between fourth and seventh … hopefully we get into the top four.

“We play Glenroy and Aberfeldie, who are both above us. It’s in our own hands.”

He said the side needed to put together a full team e�ort.

“If it all links together we can beat anyone,” he said.

“When one side of the team is performing well, the other side has been letting us down.”

In senior division, Greenvale Kangaroos are searching for their second win of the season against St Bernard’s.

A�er bowling St Bernard’s for 165, the Kangaroos are in the match at 6-92 at stumps on day one.

Tullamarine will be a�er quick wickets on day two of its match against Bentleigh.

Batting �rst, Tullamarine was bowled out for 154.

Bentleigh made it through to stumps without losing a wicket and will resume at 0-57.

In north division, Westmeadows will resume at 0-5 against Altona North, which made 221.

Jacana has already conceded �rst-innings points against Pascoe Vale Sports Club in north B1.

Electing to bat, Jacana was skittled for 76. Pascoe Vale passed that with ease and will resume at 5-102.

Plenty Valley is the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association’s T20 champions a�er victory over Oakleigh on Sunday.

�e Bats started the day with a semi-�nal against Melton.

�e Bats took control by going in �rst and making 158, the Lions reaching only 6-114 in reply.

�e result bought Plenty Valley and Oakleigh together in the �nal for the third straight year.

Oakleigh batted �rst and made 102, which the Bats passed with two wickets down.
