Independent auditors have been given 12 months to investigate questions about Sunbury’s secession from Hume.

But pro-split supporters believe the state government has ‘‘broken’’ a pre-election promise to allow the creation of an independent Sunbury, and they have doubts the city will come to exist.

As reported by Star Weekly online, Star Weekly online, Star Weeklythe split has been delayed until July 1 next year in order to address queries about costings and service delivery.

Speaking in Sunbury on Friday morning, Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said too many questions remained unanswered about the separation, which had been scheduled for July 1 this year.

�e decision comes a�er Hume chief executive Domenic Isola wrote to Ms Hutchins outlining the council’s fears about potential disruption to sta� and implications for ratepayers.

Ms Hutchins said the previous government, which gazetted orders for an independent Sunbury last October before it entered caretaker mode, had ‘‘rushed’’ the process.

‘‘I’m not con�dent in some of the answers I’ve been given around who would actually be collecting rubbish, who would be taking phone calls, who would be mowing lawns as of the �rst of July,’’ Ms Hutchins said.

‘‘I’m taking this step … to ensure we have all those systems in place in 12 months’ time so we can progress successfully rather than setting up a new Sunbury council doomed to failure.’’

Terms of reference for the auditors will be announced soon.

�e auditors are expected to report back to Ms Hutchins by the end of this year to allow time for consultation.

Ms Hutchins did not rule out a compulsory vote on the secession, as proposed by the Australian Services Union, but she said she was not going to preempt the work of the auditors.

Mr Watson, who lives in Sunbury and was chief executive of the former Shire of Bulla, said the move represented a ‘‘fresh start’’.

Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell and Liberal upper house MP Bernie Finn said they had doubts that the split would go ahead.

‘‘I think the government is trying to worm out of it here,’’ Mr O’Farrell said.

Sunbury Labor MP Josh Bull said the split had to be handled properly.

‘‘I look forward to [the independent auditors] taking far more care with this than the previous government did,’’ he said.

A new chapter for a 130-year-old church began in Mernda last week. St Paul’s Church held its �nal service before a small group of dedicated parishioners in Mitiamo two years ago. It was closed due to a lack of church-goers in the Bendigo area. The timber building was given a second lease on life when Ivanhoe Grammar School purchased it from the Anglican Diocese of Bendigo. It was then transported to the school’s Mernda campus on an oversize truck and escorted though 12 municipalities. The 1883 church has become the Plenty campus chapel, having been meticulously restored with its pews, pulpit and leadlight windows preserved despite their bumpy 200-kilometre journey. The Archbishop of Melbourne, Philip Freier, and Plenty campus chaplain Warwick Grant conducted a service last Tuesday to welcome the chapel to its new home. Lexi Cottee

“We want the group to proactively identify and respond to any issues created by religious or cultural di�erences,” he said.

A 2013 RMIT report that looked into social cohesion and fragmentation of previously tightly knit working-class areas in Melbourne’s north reported that Fawkner was attracting mainly overseas migrants from Muslim backgrounds attracted by local Islamic schools and low house prices.

Lead investigator Val Colic-Peisker said these migrants were o�en highly skilled but unable to secure appropriate jobs.

“Due to its relative geographical isolation, ageing of post-war migrants and the precarious employment of recent immigrants, Fawkner has the potential to develop into a disadvantaged enclave,” Associate Professor Colic-Peisker said.

Melbourne’s northern suburbs will receive an injection of funding to address racial and religious tensions.

State Multicultural A�airs Minister Robin Scott was in Fawkner last Tuesday to announce $100,000 to promote “social cohesion” in Hume and Whittlesea.

�e municipalities were among a group of eight identi�ed as needing initiatives to build respect and create community connections.

�e funding announcement comes in the wake of homegrown terrorism concerns.

Craigieburn teenager Jake Bilardi is reported to have carried out a suicide attack in central Iraq a�er joining Islamic State last month.

In January, Roxburgh Park student Suhan Rahman claimed to have joined IS.

�e funding will help pay for young people from diverse backgrounds to be trained as intercultural mediators to support friends dealing with challenges related to cultural diversity.

A girls’ soccer group in Coolaroo West will be established and the Hume Interfaith Network will work with a group of young people to respond to culturally sensitive issues or breakdowns.

Ajit Singh, a youth settlement worker at Spectrum Migrant Resource Centre, will be co-ordinating the youth network, which is also receiving funding from Hume council.

He said he had found �ve young people – at university, in high school, unemployed and eeking work – who were keen to facilitate dialogue around harmony and religious belief.

Cohesion bid funded

Whittlesea council has heeded the objections of more than 900 petitioners by deciding against installing a clearway in High Street, �omastown.

Despite a last-minute bid from Cr Rex Gri�en to sway fellow councillors to have a clearway installed between Mahoneys Road, �omastown, and O’Herns Road, Epping, he was out-voted.

Instead, councillors voted to advocate for construction of an E6 freeway as a limited- access arterial road and duplication of Epping Road to the north. �ey also want tra�c light co-ordination improvements in High Street.

�e proposed E6 freeway would extend from the Western Ring Road to meet the future Outer Metropolitan Ring Road at the Hume Freeway.

Cr Steven Kozmevski said installing a clearway was not the solution.

“It’s a far greater problem that VicRoads must act on,” he said. “What’s vital here is the parking. �eir [trader] viability is dependent on su�cient parking.”

Vaikunth Gohil, the petition organiser and owner of �omastown News and Lotto, said traders and High Street shoppers were “happy”.

“Common sense has prevailed,” he said. “Before my time, there were multiple butchers and greengrocers; now they’reall gone.”

�e councillors’ decision is in line with Whittlesea council tra�c engineering advice.

In a report, the council was informed that a�er a comprehensive and rigorous study and consultation process into the feasibility of a clearway, it was found that ine�ciently operated tra�c lights were the main cause of tra�c congestion.

“Tra�c �ow could be improved with parking restrictions. However, the full bene�t of parking restrictions would only be achieved if the operation and linking of the tra�c signals was improved,” the report said. Cr Gri�en disagreed, saying tra�c had increased signi�cantly in the past 10 years and a clearway would alleviate gridlock in the a�ernoon peak.

�e issue of increased tra�c congestion in High Street �rst came before councilin 2013.

A report was prepared to assess the feasibility of a clearway. But when the community was consulted, 928 people signed a petition requesting that a clearway not be installed, largely over fears about loss of customers for local businesses.

Traders relieved as clearway bid is ditched

Lalor East Primary School was awash with orange last Tuesday. Pupils were asked to go to school dressed in the colour which symbolises Harmony Day, an annual event that celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity and promotes inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging. Grade 1 teacher Brad Jones said more than 80 different nationalities were represented at the Thomastown school. Despite chilly weather, the pupils took to the oval to spell out ‘Harmony’ and released hundreds of orange balloons. A photographer climbed on to the roof to capture an aerial shot before the kids went back to the classroom to talk about what harmony means to them. Lexi Cottee

Ambulance response times to urgent calls in Whittlesea and Hume have lengthened in the past �ve years.

An interim report on Ambulance Victoria’s service shows call-outs to Code-1 incidents requiring lights and sirens in Whittlesea stretched to an average of 14.37 minutes in 2013-14, up from 11.07 minutes in 2008-09.

�e �gures reveal that 64.97 per cent of Code-1 calls were responded to within 15 minutes. Five years ago, more than 85per cent

“�is includes the health and well-being of our workforce and our response times, which still have signi�cant room for improvement.”

�e report also found public demand for ambulance services in Victoria had risen by about �ve per cent each year in the past �ve years.

�e report makes a number of recommendations, including reducing congestion at emergency departments, improving community awareness about when to call triple-0 for an ambulance, and

of urgent incidents were reached within 15 minutes.

In Hume, almost 63per cent of Code-1 calls were responded to within 15 minutes, down from almost 80per cent in 2008-09.

Ambulance Victoria acting chief executive o�cer Tony Walker said that while a signi�cant amount had been achieved since 2008, there was room for improvement.

“We acknowledge that there are issues we need to address, and this report highlights areas where we need to work harder,” he said.

improving collaboration with health services on emergency patient care.

Whittlesea paramedic Ward Young said the biggest growth in incidents had been in the burgeoning suburbs of Mernda and Doreen.

He attributed longer response times to population growth and the di�culties health services faced keeping up with demand.

“�ese growth corridors are a huge strain on not just ambulances but hospitals such as the Northern and the Austin,” he said.

“�e challenge is increasing demand and limited resources.”

More ambo lag as pressures rise

�e cooking pro�ciency of the grade 5s and 6s at Tullamarine Primary School would rival that of many adults. �e 12 and 13-year-olds prepared a meal of haloumi and sweet potato fritters with mint yoghurt dip and �at bread last week with produce they grew in the school’s vegetable patch.

Two years ago the school signed up to be a part of celebrity chef Stephanie Alexander’s kitchen garden program that teaches primary school pupils how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food to form a basis for positive lifelong eating habits.

Grade 5-6 teacher and program co-ordinator Margaret McPherson says the garden was created on a shoestring.

�e school started with a $1000 donation from Nestlé and sold ice-creams to raise enough money to buy seeds.

She said time spent in the garden and

cooking was now the pupils’ favourite time of the week. “�e idea is to expand the program to other year groups,” she said.

�is month, the kitchen garden program achieved a milestone of operating in 10 per cent of all Australian primary schools – 800 in total – reaching about 100,000 children around the nation.

Between them, Hume and Whittlesea have 10 schools with their own kitchen garden.

Findon PS was the �rst to sign up in 2007, followed by Meadows PS in 2011, Tullamarine PS, Bethal PS, Coolaroo South PS in 2013 and Sirius College (Eastmeadows), St Francis of Assisi School and St Peter’s PS last year.

�e future of the Bulla tip awaits the outcome of a �ve-day hearing held before the state tribunal earlier this month.

Bulla residents made three separate appeals to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal against Hume council’s decision last April to grant Bulla Tip and Quarry (BTQ) a two-and-a-half-year extension of its planning permit.

�e permit was granted until December 31, 2016, to allow land�ll and rehabilitation works to be carried out.

BTQ also appealed against the council’s decision. �e quarry operators had originally sought a 10-year extension, a�er having being granted a 20-year lease in 1993.

Residents told the tribunal the tip was adversely a�ecting their health.

Bulla resident Carmel Egan, who attended the week-long hearing, said residents complained of dust, smoke, an acrid stench, litter and ongoing underground �res that had broken through the surface soil “to menace the community for the past two years”.

Ms Egan said the tribunal was told the Environment Protection Authority had issued �ve clean-up orders and pollution abatement notices to the tip since September, 2013.

Tribunal chairman Russell Byard reserved his decision. BTQ declined to comment. Hume council did not respond to requests for comment before deadline.

Residents, tip wait on VCAT

In a coup for the Broadmeadows Historical Society, Hume council has backtracked on raising the museum’s rent by almost 93 per cent.

Earlier this year, the council informed society president Alan Whatman that a proposed new licensing agreement would increase annual rent from $55 to $750.

Mr Whatman said the society was gobsmacked and there was no way it could a�ord that sort of rent considering the Pearcedale Parade museum relied solely on donations and council grants to fund its operational costs.

“I have no idea why they wanted to increase it by that much,” he said. “We rely on donations at the door.”

Mr Whatman approached federal Calwell MP Maria Vamvakinou, who wrote to the council last month to inquire about the reasoning behind its decision to signi�cantly increase the annual rent.

“�is is a substantial and unsustainable increase,” she wrote.

“�e society receives an annual grant from council of $900 and with $750 of this paying rent, the society will be unable to continue to function.”

She said it would be a shame to lose such an important community organisation.

Mr Whatman said that following Ms Vamvakinou’s letter, the council contacted the society and said the rent was “negotiable”.

“�ey renegotiated with us and we brought them down from $750 to $75.”

He said the society relied on about 18 volunteers who manned the museum four days each week.

Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said the council

Rent rise now history

Volunteers Rob Hughes and Alan and Elayne Whatman outside the museum. (Joe Mastroianni)

had an obligation to be fair to all community groups.

“We have to be consistent. We can’t expect some to pay more than others,” he said.

He said the rent was previously agreed to on

an ad hoc basis and the new agreement would give the society and council more security.

“�e increase is very modest and I think we were just trying to be fair and consistent with everyone.”

Restaurant door set alightArsonists targeted Yassin’s Pizza and Pasta Restaurant in High Street, Lalor in the early hours of March 20. Witnesses saw the shop’s front door on �re and called the �re brigade, which deemed the blaze suspicious. Police said they believed the aim was to set the entire shop on �re. Detectives are seeking public assistance. Call Constable Tarek Najmadeene with any information on 9409 8100.

Two robbed at railway stationTwo men were robbed and beaten at South Morang train station at 4.45pm on March 22. The victims told police their two attackers got out of a white car. One asked about the victim’s bag before snatching it and punching him twice in the face. The second offender punched the other victim in the head and arm and grabbed his backpack. Police would like witnesses to contact Epping police on 9409 8100 and ask for Rob Davies.

Smokes go to banditsTwo offenders broke into a cigarette shop in Lalor Plaza with a sledgehammer at 1am on March 18. Police said the offenders stole an unknown number of cigarettes and put them into a large shopping bag, before driving off in a white Ford Falcon. They were wearing hoodies and gloves. Police said the shopping centre’s alarm was not activated and the owner of the shop could not be contacted. If you have information, call Epping police and ask for Senior Constable Candice Robson.

Betty Harvey will sometimes sit for days on end penning the adventures of a young mouse named Edward and his mischievous sister Rita.

�e University of the �ird Age member discovered her passion for writing during a “writing for children” class at NMIT a few years ago and has been at it ever since.

Since getting the bug, she has written three novels, and will release her second in the “Edward” series in May, much to the delight of Whittlesea children.

Prior to her new novel, titled More Wild And Exciting Adventures Of Edward, excerpts of the bunnies’ adventures were published in

Whittlesea and Hume are Victorian hotspots when it comes to car the�s.

According to the Crime Statistics Agency’s breakdown of car the� o�ences, the two municipalities were in the top �ve for the highest number of cars stolen in Victoriain 2014.

Hume topped the list with 1064 cars stolen for the year, accounting for 6.4 per cent of all o�ences recorded.

Whittlesea was ��h on the list with 870 cars stolen last year.

In total, 16,686 cars were stolen acrossthe state in the same 12-month period.Hume police’s Inspector Lisa Hardemansaid the� of, and from, cars had been afocus of local policing e�orts for the pastnine months.

“We’re doing everything we can to address it, but we’re not making much headway,” she said.

“A lot of it’s opportunistic … the public are leaving valuables clearly visible and their cars unlocked.”

Inspector Hardeman said police were�nding too many cars le� unlocked, particularly in driveways and on the road in front of houses.

Whittlesea police have started a new campaign with Whittlesea council and Whittlesea Neighbourhood House to remind drivers to “remove it, lock it or lose it”.

Signs spelling out the campaign message have been put up in major carparks at railway stations, shopping strips and plazas.

Police crime prevention o�cer Sandy O’Connor said she hoped the campaign would encourage motorists to look a�ertheir property.

“We’ll audit the carparks, and those cars with valuables on display we’ll usually send a letter out reminding the owner to be conscious of the risks involved.”

“When we audit carparks we see valuables in plain sight – GPS’s, laptops and money,” Leading Senior Constable O’Connor said.

Hume council has turned to social media to bolster support for its campaign to reinstate funding for preventative health programs.

�e council is spruiking the hashtag #anappleaday and #fundprevention in an e�ort to attract the state government’s attention to its �ght to have funding for obesity and disease prevention measures reinstated beyond June 30.

Hume is one of 12 councils in Victoria at risk of losing programs run by Healthy Together Victoria.

Federal funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Preventative Health was cut in the 2014 budget. �is agreement had provided funding for Healthy Together Victoria.

�e state government agreed to continue its share of the funding until June 30, but there has been nothing but silence from it about whether funds will continue beyond that date.

Instead of answering Star Weekly’squestions about whether the funding would be reinstated, Health Minister Jill Hennessy instead stressed the severity of the federal government’s $90 million cuts to health care in Victoria until 2018.

Hume council wants community members to take photos of themselves eating apples and then post them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the #anappleaday and #fundprevention hashtags to show their support for the campaign.

The business, started by the Spine and Limb Foundation 21 years ago, ventured into the recycled clothing market about 11 years ago.

All proceeds raised by the store go

The foundation helps the elderly and provides rehabilitation assistance to patients moving back into the community following discharge from hospital.

It also provides support, information, advice and advocacy services to help people with a disability take part in community life.

Manager Bryan Godfrey says customers can �nd a great range of apparel and accessories in store.

‘‘We’re very selective of the quality of goods we sell,’’ he says.

‘‘These goods may have otherwise gone to land�ll so we are helping the environment by selling them to people who can use them.’’

Bryan says Paravin has donation bins around Melbourne.

‘‘We also do door-to-door collections, so

people can make donations when we come around or call us and organise for donations to be picked up,” he says.

The foundation also operates Payless Clothing at 12 Costa Drive, Hoppers Crossing, offering an array of recycled goods.

Few people understand Australia’s growing love affair with the great outdoors quite like the staff of

Supreme Caravans.The family-owned company has been

actively involved with the leisure industry for 28 years.

Owners Frank and Karl Prosenik have a great passion for the caravanning lifestyle re�ected in the company’s mantra: “Live your life, live your dream, life is good when you’re in a Supreme”.

Both believe the business has earned its reputation of quality and toughness over the years by building the renowned Getaway and Territory range of off-road units for four-wheel-drive enthusiasts.

“At this stage, we consider Supreme Caravans to be among the top three manufacturers in this �eld in Melbourne,” Frank says.

Karl says the keys to their success are listening to customer needs and wants and being able to customise designs to suit those requirements. “We have huge repeat business where some of our customers are on their eighth Supreme caravan.”

From the company’s humble beginnings, Supreme has grown to be one of the industry’s leading manufacturers.

The business has a good mix of staff. Highly skilled and experienced people who have been with the company more than 20 years rub shoulders with newer crew members.

Happy campers can choose from a wide range of 120 caravans, including off-road movers, pop-tops, campers and family vans, and a huge selection of used caravans, spare parts, accessories and services. Check out the range of touring

models that include the Spirit LE, Executive and Aero, plus the luxurious Slide Out and Quest ranges, between them covering semi-off-road, touring and luxury RVs to satisfy all sections of the caravan fraternity.

The company’s �rst models were built in a small workshop in Fawkner. Steady growth has caused the business to relocate to a huge display venue with showroom in

Supreme in the caravan world

You don’t have to suffer through a long, drawn-out process of vehicle repairs. If you’ve had a bingle, there’s a way to

get back on the road as soon as possible.For more than 40 years, Lyons Body

Works has been providing Eltham and surrounds with quality vehicle repairs and �nishing.

The business specialises in restoring damaged vehicles to their pre-accident condition, providing clients with a life-time guarantee on all private and insurance works. State-of-the-art equipment, fully trained staff and quali�ed tradesmen are on hand to offer hassle-free service, and there’s a courtesy vehicle to get customers on their way quickly.

There is also a complimentary 24-hour towing service to get the vehicle to the workshop from the scene of the accident.

Owner Charles Camilleri says Lyons Body Works has built its strong reputation on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.

“At Lyons Body Works, we aim to provide you with quality repairs and the most minimal interruption to your daily life. We have many years’ experience in dealing with insurance claims and have built a close relationship with all insurance companies.”

Free onsite quoting for all vehicles follows a thorough inspection by quali�ed staff.

“We can organise your repair from start to �nish, including arranging the vehicle assessment with the relevant insurance company. Once liability has been established, we’ll start your repairs straight away and keep you updated throughout the process,” Charles says. All repairs have a life-time guarantee and a pick-up and delivery service is available.

Lyons Body Works, 47 Susan Street, Eltham. Opens 7.30am-5.30pm Monday-Friday, and 8am-11am Saturday. Inquiries: 9439 1088 or www.lyonsbodyworks.com.au

Gymnastics offers many bene�ts when it comes to choosing a sport for kids, according to Gymsports Academy

of Movement & Excellence (GAME) owner-director Kim Amor.

“Gymnastics promotes physical and social development and a positive attitude to �tness and health,” she explains.

GAME, in Epping, offers nationally recognised gym sports, including general gymnastics, men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics, Kindergym, adults’ classes, additional-needs programs and – its newest program – YogaBugs.

‘Bugs’ is a creative storytime incorporating yoga postures for �tness and fun for children from the crawling stage up to nine-years-old.

“We offer programs for babies, crawlers, teens, adults, kids with additional needs, dancers, holiday clinics, private sessions, birthday parties and more,” says Kim, who has been involved in gym sports for more than 22 years and has quali�cations in recreation leadership and �tness training.

“Our general ratios are small, with one trainer to eight participants. That increases the gymnast’s time on skill progression as coaches are on hand to provide lots of positive and useful feedback.”

GAME staff members are fully quali�ed and af�liated with state and national gymnastics bodies. Accredited coaches are trained according to the level of gymnasts they are coaching. They also undertake full �rst aid, CPR and anaphylaxis and asthma-management training.

The programs offered include: • General gymnastics: Open to primary

school-aged boys and girls. The hour or 90-minute classes are based on the

national-level program skills recognised by Gymnastics Australia.• Kindergym: Designed for boys and

girls aged two-and-a-half to �ve. Based on 45-minute or one-hour classes, this program promotes parent-guardian participation in the younger-age divisions. • Holiday programs and birthday parties

for boys and girls aged two-and-a-half to 12. Catering is now available for parties. • Baby gym workshops for kids from four

months, to be launched in May.• Term 2 classes are now open for girls

and boys aged two to 17.

Gymsports Academy of Movement & Excellence, 9 Gipps Court, Epping. Opens 9am-7pm Monday-Saturday and 10.30am-5.30pm Sunday. Inquiries: 8401 3595 or www.gymacademy.com.au

Big V state championship rivals Whittlesea Pacers and Diamond Valley will do battle on Good Friday to help raise money for sick children.

�e match between the men’s sides will be the only Big V game to be held on this day. Pacers men’s coach Ross Moll is hoping it will become a regular �xture between the clubs.

All money raised will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal.

“Many years ago, when I was at a di�erent club in a di�erent competition, we played one game and it was a success, but once I le� the club it didn’t continue,” Moll said.

“I had the idea to bring it back this year and approached Diamond Valley as they are just around the corner. I know Alan [McAughtry, Eagles coach] and had a chat to him and he was interested.”

Moll said the committees of both clubs had got behind the idea.

“With no AFL on that day, it’s a good opportunity for people to come down and enjoy some local sport.”

�e Pacers have had a tough start to the season, losing their �rst four games.

“We had a couple of heartbreaking losses against Ringwood and Hume City Broncos,” Moll said. “Against Ringwood we let it slip. We were up by 15 points in the third period, but their experience was a bit better … in the last quarter, they made better decisions.

“It was the same against Hume where we were up for the whole game – except the last 30 seconds. �ey made a couple of threes in the last minute-and-a-half to win the game.”

Despite the poor start to the season, Moll still has his sights on �nals thanks to a number of big inclusions in the o�-season.

“We’re in a similar starting position to last season and we were able to dig ourselves out of it,” he said. “We have lost Matt Dirkx, who has gone to play football, but we have kept most of the squad together.

“Jermaine Williams has returned a�er hurting his achilles early last season and has come back well.

“Lincoln Gar�rth, who played with us two years ago when we won division one, has returned, as has Steven Dahlstrom, who played with us about three years ago. Gavin Mitchell has joined from Sunbury.”

Whittlesea Pacers and Diamond Valley play from 7pm on Friday at Mill Park Basketball Stadium.

Hume City Lady Broncos put in a dominating performance to claim a 75-point win against Melbourne Tigers in the Big V state championship on Saturday night.

The Broncos dominated from the start, preventing the Tigers from scoring a field goal until eight minutes in, by which time the Broncos had already scored 25 points.

It was all Broncos on the scoreboard and plays were just as good in defence as attack. Hume City kept the Tigers to less than 10 points in three of the four quarters to win 105-30.

Six players hit double figures, with Colleen Plantea top-scoring with 24 points.

Broncos coach Katrina Hibbert was thrilled with the win.

“It was an excellent win,” she said.“Obviously Melbourne Tigers are in

a rebuilding stage and we didn’t want to be disrespectful to them, but we wanted to get something out of it for us.

“We worked on the things we needed to and things that will help them down the track in their development stage.”

She said the side exceeded the defensive targets set prior to play.

“Defence is always one of our targets at the start of the game and keeping them to a certain amount of points each quarter, so that was our target,” Hibbert said.

“I am really happy with the girls for staying within that target, and lowering it.”

Hibbert, in her first season as coach, said the transition had been made easier having played with most of the team.

“It has been fun and helpful having Waz [last year’s coach Warren Taylor] beside me for little things like game day preparation and scouting.

“How much time you have to put in up and above what you do as a player is one thing which has surprised me.

“As a player you don’t understand how much time they [coaches] put in; you are always thinking about it during the week.”

Hibbert said the addition of Nicole McMahon and Nicole Zammitt in the off-season had complemented last season’s side.

The Broncos enter the Easter break with a 3-0 record.

Lady Broncos stop Tigers in their tracks

Essendon on �re, but NFL lacks accuracy�e Northern Football League was le� to rue missed shots in front of goal a�er it fell short of becoming Melbourne’s number one metro football league on Saturday.

�e NFL �ew out of the blocks against the Victorian Amateur Football Association at the Vic Metro championships and found itself with a 20-point lead.

But come the second half, the side needed all that lead, and more, as the VAFA came from behind and never looked back, ultimately winning 7.7 (49) to 5.14 (44).

For the NFL, there were too many missed opportunities, with just seven points – no goals – kicked in the second half.

NFL coach Jason Heatley spoke of what might have been, had his side only been able to convert kicks into goals.

“We kicked 1.11 a�er quarter-time and they were all gettable shots,” Heatley said.

“We came out primed to start well and we did that. We just couldn’t keep it going late.

“Pay credit to the VAFA. Our boys had outstanding commitment and application; we just didn’t get the result,” Heatley said.

Meanwhile, Essendon District Football League stamped its authority over its southern rivals at the weekend.

�e EDFL stamped its authority over the Southern Football League from the �rst quarter, going on to a 16.13 (109) to 4.4 (28) mauling.

EDFL coach Mick McGuane said the decision to go in with only one ruckman and an extra mid�elder had paid dividends.

“It was hard early on,” he said. “�ey were winning the inside ball and we

were getting the outside ball. “We knew once we got it into space, we

could control the game.

“Our philosophy is picking blokes who can use their speed.

“Andrew Browne rucked for most of the game and was very in�uential at the stoppages,” McGuane said.

“He also went forward and kicked our �rst goal, and his second [half] e�orts were massive.”

Browne was named best on ground, while Dean Galea kicked �ve goals for the EDFL.

McGuane said the players were keen on not making this a once-o� win.

“Ash Arrowsmith said before the game ‘this is a chance to make this a �ve-year thing, not a once-o�’,” McGuane said.

“�ere was immense buy-in from all of them.“�e key was that no one thought they were

better than the others,” he said.

Karl Brown provided the catalyst for the Calder Cannons’ tight escape against the Northern Knights on Saturday in the TAC Cup at RAMS Arena in Craigieburn.

�e Cannons looked to be cruising early on, kicking seven goals in a row from midway through the �rst quarter until late in the second term.

�e two teams went goal-for-goal in the third quarter before the Knights turned it on to level the scores in the fourth.

With his eighth goal Brown put the Cannons back in front. It turned out to be the winning goal.

Final scores were 12.11 (83) to 11.11 (77).For the Knights, Bailey Jordan kicked

three goals while captain Jade Gresham was their best player.

Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said his side allowed the Knights back into the game.

“Our message at the start of the day was to not give them time and space and our blokes seemed to drop o� that,” he said.

“�ere’s a lot of positives [but] a long way to go for these blokes to learn how to play well for four quarters.”

Cannon �omas Burnside le� the �eld on a stretcher with a neck injury in the �rst quarter, while Hisham Kerbatieh only played three minutes of the second half a�er copping a corkie.

Johnston said it was good to see Brown perform and he believed he would get better once he gained full �tness.

“We know he is a really strong guy ,” Johnston said. “He will beat most full-backs.”

Brown’s eight is enoughIt took the sprinklers to stop Hume City’s destruction of Northcote City in the National Premier League on Wednesday night.

Hume was 5-0 up when the sprinklers came on at Broadmeadows Valley Park in the 87th minute and the game was called o�. Because more than 80 per cent of the game had been completed the score stands and Hume gets the three points for the win.

Hume coach Louie Acevski said despite the early �nish it was a good night for his side.

“It was a great result backing up from playing on Saturday night,” Acevski said. “�e boys put in an enormous e�ort.”

On the Saturday night, Hume scored a nail-biting 4-3 win against North Geelong Warriors, scoring the winning goal in the last minute of injury time.

“We were leading 3-2 and we tried to close the game out, took o� one of our attackers and brought on a defensive mid�elder,” Acevski said. “�e character of the boys to respond in the manner they did and put their bodies on the line to get the win was great.”

Players put their bodies on the line again on Sunday to come away with a two-nil win, giving Hume �ve wins in a row a�er losing the opening game of the season.

“We have scored 16 in four games,” Acevski said. “�e boys are playing with con�dence and creating opportunities.”

Hume coach laps up wins

�e relief of �nally winning a Victorian Sub-district Cricket Association premiership was obvious on the faces of Plenty Valley players and supporters a�er two seasons of near misses.

�e Bats lost in the grand �nal two years ago and were knocked out in the semi-�nals last season a�er being undefeated all year.

“�ere’s a lot of relief personally and a lot of enjoyment for the club,” Captain-coach Michael Sheedy said of the north-west grand �nal win against Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows at the weekend.

He said the �ag triumph was four years in the making, started when Ben Dennett and Justin Jaensch made the switch from Richmond to Plenty Valley. �eir move was instrumental in three other players, including Sheedy himself,

Bats beat the pressure

coming over from the Premier Cricket club.“We have been able to form a group which

has been pretty formidable over the last four years,” he said. “We have only had nine losses in that time. A �ag is the one thing we had missed out on and we have it now.”

�e Bats bowled brilliantly to get Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows out for 115, and at 3-85 seemed cruising to an easy win.

“I thought our bowlers were fantastic, with all �ve of them bowling well at times,” Sheedy said. But the loss of Sheedy’s wicket changed the game and the Bats lost 3-10.

“�at is �nals cricket and grand �nal

pressure,” Sheedy said. “It was a pretty poor shot by me, no questions about it. I should have been the one to see us through.”

Sheedy paid credit to Falcons bowler Mitch Johnstone, who took his, and six other, wickets.

“He bowled really well and took 50 wickets for the year,” Sheedy said. “Our plan was to always play eight batters if we could and it certainly won us a �ag today.”

Sheedy, playing in his �rst two-day premiership, said he felt anxious watching his teammates make the runs needed.

He wasn’t surprised when Johnstone decided to keep playing in a bid for a reverse outright win.

“I probably expected it. Mitch is a massive competitor and that group is a competitive group,” he said.

“At the end of the day they wanted to see if they could create some miracle.”

‘‘ I should have been the one to see us through ’’ - Michael Sheedy

Falcons pay price for loose shots�e never-say-die spirit of Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows was on show as it went down �ghting in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association’s north-west grand �nal against Plenty Valley.

�e Falcons could have been forgiven for thinking the game was over when the Bats were 3-85 needing just 116 to take the �rst innings win.

But two wickets in as many balls to Falcons captain-coach Mitch Johnstone gave his side some hope.

And with another wicket to Johnstone, the Bats had slumped to 6-95.

“We fought really hard, but it wasn’t to be,” Johnstone said.

“We were probably 20 to 30 runs short … had we got a few more runs on the board, I dare say it would have been close.”

�e skipper took the �rst seven wickets, �nishing with 7-57 from his 27 overs as the Bats passed the total just before tea on day two.

�e Falcons were le� to rue a late-order collapse on day one that saw them lose 5-20 to be �red out for 115.

“We generally back our lower order to give us a contribution,” Johnstone said, “but it wasn’t to be … a few loose shots, that’s probably where we lost the game. A few dropped catches early on hurt us, too.”

Once the Bats had made the winning runs, Johnstone and the Falcons weren’t ready to give up, with play continuing past the tea break when the score was 7-120 as they sought early wicket in the forlorn hope of forcing an outright.

�e Falcons took just one quick wicket through Adam Yates a�er play resumed, persuading Johnstone to call the match o� with the Bats on 8-128.

“We thought if we could bowl them out and get 100 runs, we’d have a another go,” Johnstone said.

“It was a bit optimistic, but you’re better having a go rather than just accepting a loss and doing nothing about it.”

Despite the disappointing end to the season, Johnstone said his side had made massive improvements.

“Coming from second-last a couple of years ago to where we are now, we have a good, tightknit group and a good culture developing,” he said.

“So it’s onwards and upwards from here. We will learn from this.”

Valley’s trump card beats tough odds“I told the boys, it doesn’t matter how you played in the previous games, if you can perform in a �nal and you win, that’s all that matters.”

For Lorenzo Ingram, his own words rang true last weekend … he overcame personal tragedy to help steer Plenty Valley to the Victorian Sub-district cricket Association north-west premiership that has alluded the club for the past two seasons.

Ingram would have been forgiven for not playing. �e West Indian’s father died during the week leading up to the game and Ingram is not long back from Holland where he went a�er his wife became sick.

Despite his circumstances, Ingram took 5-24 and made 32 to be named man-of-the-match, his second such honour, the �rst was in a grand �nal against Oakleigh in 2012-13.

“Over the past few days, it has been emotional, not just the past few days but maybe the last month,” Ingram said a�er the game.

“I went back to Holland and then came back here and it has been pretty tough.

“�e guys here support me well and are like my second family. I’m very happy.”

Bats coach Michael Sheedy called Ingram one of his trump cards, along with 42-year-old Sean Ayres. Ayres also played a big role, taking 4-24.

“Ayres at 42 is remarkable, while Ingram is the ultimate professional.”

“Ingram has been at the club �ve years and he �nally has a premiership.”

Sheedy said he hoped both players would return next season.

“I think most of the group will be back

having won the �ag. I think now, with premier [cricket possible promotion] put aside, he’s [Ayres] likely to go on,” Sheedy said.

“He’s a four-time premiership player and has the chance to be a �ve-time premiership player, which I don’t think too many guys have done in Subbies.

“Lorenzo and his family situation is one we will have to wait and see about. He has �nally got what he needed a�er �ve years with us, which is a �ag, and we hope he returns.

“We �nished third in the club championship and would love to get back to being the top club in the competition,” Sheedy said.
