Poor planning in Melbourne’s northern fringe is pushing wildlife onto the roads to be killed or injured by tra�c, according to Wildlife Victoria.

A cap on council rates would hamper the delivery of essential services, says Hume council.
In December, Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins con�rmed the Andrews government would impose caps on council rates at the level of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as promised before the November 29 election.
Councils wanting to raise their rates above CPI would be required to appeal to an independent Essential Services Commission.
“Local residents have enough economic
pressures on them with increased costs of living, and increased council rates just make life tougher,” Ms Hutchins told Star Weekly last Star Weekly last Star Weeklymonth.
“Tony Abbott and the Liberals are already increasing taxes and charges on Victorians and local councils shouldn’t make it worse.
“Councils will have to focus on the services people need, not the stunts that drive up rates.”
Hume acting chief executive Margarita Caddick said restricting rate increases to the CPI did not account for the broad range of local government responsibilities.
“To restrict rate increases to the annual CPI increase – 2.3 per cent between September 2013-14 – would constrain the delivery of council services, community programs and the expansion and renewal of community infrastructure,” Ms Caddick said.
She said the council was working with the Municipal Association of Victoria and the Interface Group of Councils to provide advice to Ms Hutchins on the limitations of rate rises tied to the CPI.
“�ere is a range of factors that in�uence cost increases in a council budget, including
population growth, the spread of population and the need for services and facilities to be spread throughout a municipality, the ageing of infrastructure and the need for new infrastructure in developing residential areas,” she said.
Hume council’s 2014-15 budget, adopted last June, came with a rates rise of 4.5 per cent.
Whittlesea council said it was unable to comment until the CPI rates policy was dra�ed or passed and details were released.

Police and Yarra Valley Water are seeking public help in identifying the person who dumped hundreds of litres of liquid latex into a manhole in Dallas. �e incident caused sewage to spill into a nearby creek and onto a public reserve.
�e damage was caused on September28 and resulted in the entire sewer pipe being removed and water quality disrupted for up to �ve weeks.
Yarra Valley Water managing director Pat McCa�erty said the dumping was highly unusual and liquid latex had no place being in a sewer.
“�e substance was incredibly di�cult to work with, turning into solid rubber as soon as it made contact with the air and expanding on contact with liquid,” he said. “It would not dissolve and was impossible to cut. Our crew said it was expanding before their eyes … we were unable to even get our camera into the sewer to assess the damage.”
�e solid rubber mass stretched more than two metres and le� Yarra Valley Water with a $600,000 clean-up bill.
�e blockage caused the sewer to discharge into Merlynston Creek and onto Jack Roper Reserve.
It took Yarra Valley Water crews �ve weeks to restore the water quality to normal.
For three weeks the a�ected area had to be bypassed by the sewage system to prevent further spills. Nine manholes along Berger Dallas, and Ma�ra streets, Coolaroo, required cleaning; 65 metres of pipe had to be replaced and 20 sta� worked on the clean-up.
Anyone who has noticed suspicious behaviour in the area, particularly around manholes or drains, is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

Sunbury residents turned up in droves to an information caravan last Wednesday to help police catch a serial arsonist.
Detectives with the Hume crime investigation unit set up the caravan in Racecourse Road hoping members of the public would come forward with information on a spate of �res in Sunbury in the past three months.
Police are hunting a man who was seen near the �res riding an unregistered, dark-coloured dirtbike and wearing a dark helmet with a personal camera attached.
Detective Acting Sergeant Dennis Cunha said more than 75 people had
‘Bug’ linked to �ve burnsSenior Constable Stephanie Attard and Detective Acting Sergeant Dennis Cunha speak to members of the public at a police information van set up to receive information about a suspicious �re near Emu Road in Sunbury. (Shawn Smits)
approached the van with information and Sunbury police had been inundated with calls.
“We’ve had a fantastic response and have gathered a lot of intelligence,” he said.
�e �rebug is believed to be responsible for at least �ve �res in bush near Racecourse Road between January 1 last year and January 3 this year.
�e most recent �re, last Saturday a�ernoon, burnt to within just a few hundred metres of the information caravan near the intersection of Webb Court and Emu Road.
Other �res have been lit in Jacksons Creek east of Racecourse Road, Emu Road and Kenway Street, around bushland near Webb
Court and in parkland bordering Jacksons Creek and Grapeview Grove.
Detective Acting Sergeant Cunha said it was fortunate the �res were contained quickly. “With a bad wind, these �res could have posed a major threat to Sunbury township,” he said.
In January 2013, another suspicious �re came within metres of houses in the same area.
On that occasion the �re, which started near the Calder Freeway between Moore Road and Baggy Green Street, burnt 20 hectares; a shed, a car and fencing were destroyed.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a con�dential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Police found more than 750 cannabis plants in a raid on a �omastown factory last week.
About 20 police stormed the Goodyear Drive property last Wednesday a�er a tip-o� from a member of the public.
Police believe the street value of the plants to be more than $1 million.
During the raid a neighbouring worker alerted police to a woman standing on the factory roof.
�e woman, in her 20s, jumped o� the seven-metre building and landed awkwardly, injuring a leg and both ankles. She was arrested, treated for minor injuries and taken to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition.
Police think the woman hid in the roof cavity when police stormed the property then used a rope ladder to climb to the roof.
Detective Senior Constable Daniel Chrystie said it was one of the biggest cannabis hauls he had seen, but the factory’s landlords claimed to be unaware of the crop. “�ey seemed pretty shocked,” Detective Senior Constable Chrystie said.
He said police believed the tenants had been operating a hydroponic set-up for about three months.
Anyone with any information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a con�dential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

He’s known among the cheerleading fraternity as Dynamite Dave.
�e 23-year-old from Mernda hoists fellow dancers into the air with apparent ease and astounding strength while keeping time with techno music booming from the speakers.
Dave Pizarco�, who has Down Syndrome, was introduced to the relatively new sport of cheerleading just over two years ago.
His father, Peter, has been involved in the sport since its inception in Australia about 10 years ago and acts as MC at many of the biggest competitions.
But it was a friend, Sonia Roarty, head coach and director of Cheer Factor All Stars in Tullamarine, who suggested Dave get involved.
He began training with three girls in a team and was quickly enrolled to compete on stage for the �rst time in June 2012.
“�e reaction from the crowd was just phenomenal,” Peter said. “It wasn’t a feeling of pity but of inspiration.”
Dave’s e�orts to succeed in every facet of life have inspired people from across the globe.
“Kids from all over the world write to him and every cheerleader in Australia knows Dynamite Dave,” Peter said.
Dave’s reputation even spread to the US, and in April he received an invitation from one of the biggest cheerleading teams in America, the Oklahoma Twisters, to perform in their highly regarded special-needs team.
So Dave and his parents will jet o� to Dallas on January 23 for the biggest cheerleading competition in the world, the NCA championships. Not only does Dave cheer, he DJs, has graduated from a performing arts course at NMIT in Preston and is now looking for his �rst full-time job.

Sunbury’s secession from Hume is in doubt, with Hume council’s senior management due to discuss its concerns with new Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins in the next fortnight.
�e council wrote to Premier Dan Andrews directly a�er the November state election asking for a review of the previous government’s decision to charge Hume $35 million over the next 10 years to underwrite a new Sunbury municipality.
Ms Hutchins told Star Weekly she was
Margarita Caddick, said last week the coming meeting with the minister would address the order-in-council by the former government to set up a Sunbury council and the implications of this legislative direction for Hume council sta� and its communities.
“�e interests of the community, sta� and the organisation are our key priority,” Ms Caddick said.
�e former government pushed through the order-in-council declaring a new Sunbury municipality on October 30, two weeks before polls opened for the November election.
Former local government minister Tim
looking into the Sunbury secession “very closely” and had scheduled a meeting with Hume council chief executive Domenic Isola before the end of this month.
“Labor is on the record about concerns over whether both Hume council and a new Sunbury council would be able to achieve �nancial stability,” Ms Hutchins said last week.
“I’m looking at this matter very closely and speaking with all parties to ensure the best outcome for the local community.”
Ms Hutchins said she spoke to Mr Isola before Christmas.
Hume council’s acting chief executive,
Bull even appointed an interim administrator, Joanne Anderson, and an interim chief executive o�cer, Vince Haining, to work alongside the current Hume council on the separation of sta� and assets.
�ese two are due to take up their new positions from July 1 this year.
As well as distributing assets and liabilities, Mr Bull allocated the full proceeds from the sale of residential blocks at Racecourse Road reserve to the new Sunbury municipality and provided for a share of Melbourne Airport ‘rates in lieu’ revenue to go to Sunbury for the next 10 years.
Talks to reopen secession plan

Divers search for gunsPolice divers searched the Werribee River at Wyndham Vale last Wednesday in an attempt to recover guns used in an armed robbery outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Sunbury on December 1. Investigators believe three offenders, two of whom were armed, held up a cash delivery car in Horne Street just after 6pm. Police are still appealing for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a con�dential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Robbery witnesses soughtPolice are seeking witnesses to an attempted armed robbery at the Roxburgh Park Hotel on January 4. Detectives believe three men, one with a gun, smashed their way through a side door about 11.25pm. They attempted to gain entry through a second door but were unsuccessful and �ed empty-handed. They were last seen driving out of the carpark in an old-model silver sedan. Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the carpark at the time.
Crash driver chargedThe driver of a van towing a trailer �lled with timber that crashed on the Western Ring Road in Thomastown last Wednesday has been charged with multiple offences, including careless driving, failing to display number plates and driving an unsafe vehicle. It’s believed the weight of the timber lifted the rear wheels of the van off the road. The van crashed into a concrete barrier and spun around. No one was injured.
“I know a beautiful girl,” Romolo Digiulio’s friend whispered in his ear. And when Mr Digiulio �rst laid eyes on Concetta, that beautiful girl from Abruzzo, he wasted no time in asking for her hand in marriage.

Mr Digiulio moved to Perth in 1957 to set up a prosperous life for his wife and son.
From there he moved to Springvale and
eventually built their family home in Greenvale. “Connie,” as Concetta, 83, is known among
friends, didn’t leave Italy for Australia until much later.
“It was very hard for my mum,” she said. “She said, ‘No, my daughter will not go there’.”

Medicinal chemist Guillaume Lessene and his team of 10 have been quietly working on an anti-cancer drug for 13 years.
�eir innovative work in the �eld of cancer therapy was recently recognised when Associate Professor Lessene took out the inaugural Dr John Dixon Hughes Medical Research Innovation Medal for his discovery and development of potential anti-cancer drugs. He also won a $50,000 cash prize for further research.
�e French-born Bundoora resident began his tenure at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute a�er moving to Australia in 2002 with his wife, a fellow medicinal chemist.
Associate Professor Lessene has dedicated the last decade to studying the process that cells undergo before dying.
“Usually a lot of anti-cancer drugs try to stop cells from dividing, because they divide abnormally. A lot of drugs try to stop that abnormal proliferation,” Associate Professor Lessene said.
He said unhealthy cells usually die. “�is happens all the time to clean the body of cells that are damaged or not needed any more. It’s really important for the body to remain healthy.”
Cancer cells develop the ability to stop the cell death process.
Associate Professor Lessene said he and his team of medicinal chemists and biologists were trying to re-establish the cell death process in cancer cells.
�eir research has been demonstrated in laboratories but is yet to be used with human patients. “We have between �ve and 10 years le� on the project,” he said. “It’s still a very active research project.”

�eir project is unusual in that at one point Associate Professor Lessene and his team collaborated with two commercial pharmaceutical companies that were interested in later developing the drug.
�e 41-year-old medicinal chemist said few drugs were developed in academia, making their development of potential anti-cancer
drugs something of a novelty. “�e institute has a lot of world-class biologists, but it’s very hard for that research to be translated into drugs within Australia.”
He said drug development here was dominated by major pharmaceutical companies and biotech companies. “�e fact I received the award is great support for academic drug
discovery. And it recognises work that was done entirely in Australia for drug development.”
Institute director Professor Doug Hilton said Associate Professor Lessene was one of the institute’s shining stars. “His outstanding contribution to biomedicine has garnered a strong international reputation and signals his emergence as a leader in medical research.”

Public warned on grass�resCFA units attended 13 small grass and scrub �res in the Whittlesea and Hume municipalities between December 1 and January 7. The CFA categorises a “small” �re as one up to �ve hectares in size with no complex problems. State �re authorities are warning residents living near grassland to be vigilant in preparing their properties for �re risk over the next few months.
Family �ees home blazeFire forced a family of �ve out of their home in Lyell Avenue, Lalor, last week. The blaze began in a garage at the front and spread into the two-storey house. A smoke alarm alerted the occupants. About 20 MFB and CFA �re�ghters contained the �re and damage was estimated at $25,000. The cause is being investigated by the MFB �re investigation unit.
Refuge work closes trailFunding from the Transport Accident Commission has allowed Whittlesea council to build a pedestrian refuge island and path link on the Darebin Creek Trail across Settlement Road, Bundoora. The trail will be closed between St Luke’s Tennis Club and McKimmies Road from January 15 and will reopen in late March. The council will simultaneously upgrade the existing path to a 2.5-metre concrete shared path. Detours will be in place. For more information, contact the engineering and transportation team on 9217 2170 or email [email protected].
Have your say on council planWhittlesea council is preparing a new plan for the Whittlesea township that will guide its development over the next 20 years. The council is seeking community feedback to help shape the plan. So far more than 300 surveys have been received from people airing their thoughts on transport, housing, the environment, recreation and employment opportunities. Submit your survey before January 30 to enter the draw to win one of four $50 vouchers for Coles Group and Myer.
Mobile internet speeds upThe latest generation of mobile internet coverage has come to Mernda. Telstra is switching on its 4GX network in parts of the suburb, providing the fastest mobile speeds in the nation. The suburb is one of 600 to have access to the new service, which brings extreme speeds and extra 4G coverage to Telstra customers.
Leaving kids in cars to ‘hurt’ moreVictorians who leave children unattended in cars will face six months’ jail and �nes of almost $4000 under new penalties. The changes, introduced by the previous Liberal government but never proclaimed, will become Victorian law by the end of this month. Penalties for leaving children unattended in cars rise from $2214 to $3690 and from three months’ jail to six months. Ambulance Victoria’s Paul Holman said people were still not heeding warnings. So far this year, there have been 23 incidents of children left in cars.
Leah Moulden (pictured) was a keen tennis player as a teenager, but his ranking was never high enough to qualify for an Australian Open wildcard. When he chanced upon a Transport Accident Commission competition last December, offering the chance to play a set during the Grand Slam later this month, he jumped and entered himself and his best mate of 17 years. The 29-year-old Doreen resident and insurance broker was one of 300 people picked last week to play on court nine, or what will be known as “the people’s court”. Between of�cial matches, Moulden and other competition winners will play a condensed set complete with a chair umpire, ball kids, an announcer, racquets and match stats all provided by Tennis Australia. “We’ll get all the stuff Raffa and the Williams sisters get,” Moulden said. “We’ll lap it up.” Lexi Cottee

9 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015
“Why Adelaide?”�at’s the question I kept hearing a�er I’d
told friends where I was spending my holidays. Well, shame on them!Apart from the stunning wine regions South
Australia is renowned for, its capital city is a funky hive of food, culture and entertainment.
For Melburnians familiar with good co�ee, great restaurants and street art along laneways, Adelaide o�ers all that and more, at a refreshingly slower pace.
Adelaide is an 80-minute �ight from Melbourne or an eight-hour drive if you prefer a road trip. If driving, my advice is to leave early in the morning – say, 4 – to avoid tra�c.
We chose to stay at �e Playford hotel, on North Terrace and opposite the Convention Centre and City Casino, with the State Library, SA Museum and Art Gallery a little further down the road.
�e Playford o�ers spacious, stylish and, importantly for this traveller, clean rooms. We stayed in a studio spa suite.
�e Playford restaurant, which has won the gong of ‘Best Restaurant in Accommodation’ for the past three years at the Australian Hotels Association SA awards, is a must-try for both its bu�et breakfast and �ne-dining dinner menu. �e only downside is internet access. Apart from a daily free Wi� hour in the downstairs bar and lounge, guests incur a daily fee to access it.
A great thing about Adelaide is that pretty much everything is within walking distance.
Once outside the hotel, tourists are spoilt for choice in what’s fast becoming a foodie precinct.
Where the livin’ is easyCharlene Macaulay visits Adelaide and �nds a lot in common with what she loves about Melbourne – it just unfolds at a slower pace. �en, there’s the magni�cent wineries
Tastebuds will be tempted by Jamie Oliver’s restaurant Jamie’s Italian, by Sean Connelly’s Sean’s Kitchen at the Adelaide Casino, and the range of eclectic pubs, cafes and restaurants along Rundle and Gouger streets.
Rundle Mall is a shopper’s paradise, with more than 700 retail stores, three major department stores, 15 arcades and centres, and buskers le�, right and centre. Also in the heart of the city is the Adelaide Zoo.
Ten kilometres from the city is the charming seaside resort of Glenelg, where you can swim with wild dolphins.
For wine lovers, the only problem is deciding which wine regions to visit. Having long been fans of Taylors Shiraz, we drove 90 minutes out of Adelaide to visit the Taylors Estate in the Clare Valley, which has more than 40 cellar doors stretching between the towns of Auburn and Clare.
�e region is gaining a reputation for boutique beer, and we stopped at Hop and Vine in Auburn to try out a “�ight”; that is, a sample of four of their cra� beers. We also spent a day driving through the famous Barossa Valley, including the 10 kilometre-long Seppelts�eld Road, which is �anked by palm trees and is home to some of the Barossa’s most famous
wineries and gourmet destinations.If you’ve only got a few hours to spare the
Maggie Beer Farm Shop, Jacobs Creek cellar door and the Barossa Valley Cheese Company are must-sees. So, when planning your next holiday, don’t ask yourself, why Adelaide; ask how you’re going to �t in everything there is to see, eat and do.

It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of meals…everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose from.”“We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said.“It’s conveniently delivered to us by Choice Fresh Meals who also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s a nice break.

13 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015
SPORT
By Tara Murray
For a while on Saturday it didn’t look like Epping or Bundoora would take to the �eld, with water covering the Epping Recreation Reserve wicket.
Some hard work by Epping club members eventuated in a delayed start, the e�ort made worthwhile when Epping secured the upper hand a�er day one.
Bundoora crumbled in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association Barclay Shield �xture to be bowled out for 108, with only three players making double �gures.
Andrew Fairchild and Jason Kaminski top
Epping makes most of late startscored for Bundoora with 24 apiece. Adam Fletcher and Billy McKeown took two wickets each for Epping, which will resume at 0-4.
Epping coach John Lever said his side was surprised by Bundoora’s decision to bat �rst.
“It was de�nitely handy bowling �rst,” he said. “�ere was a little bit in the wicket and our bowlers bowled really well.
“If we can’t chase down this total, we don’t deserve to win.”
Epping has experienced an inconsistent start to the season.
“We have a young group and it was always going to take time,” Lever said. “We are improving and the side is starting to gel.
“�e improvement in our batting has been the biggest thing.”
He said the side wasn’t looking too far ahead but a �nals berth was in the club’s sights.
Plenty is in the box seat a�er day one of its clash with Lower Eltham.
A�er sending Lower Eltham in, Plenty’s bowlers had a �eld day, bowling the opposition out for 89.
Andrew Villani was the best of the bowlers with 3-12.
Plenty will resume at 1-41 in reply.Bundoora United’s bowlers were also on �re,
bowling Diamond Creek out for 106, with Scott Barnett taking 4-23.
United lost a couple of wickets late on day one and will resume at 2-18.
Old Paradians/St Francis is looking to avoid an outright defeat against Research/Eltham Collegians.
Chasing 4-175, Old Paradians/St Francis was bowled out for 82. Forced to follow on, the club is 0-30 in its second innings.
In the Money Shield, Mernda will be a�er early wickets against Banyule. A�er making 114, Mernda had Banyule at 3-18 at stumps.
Lalor Stars will resume at 5-53 chasing Greensborough’s 91, while Mill Park and Camrea Taipans were unable to take to the park because of a wet pitch.
No holding back for Gladstone ParkConsistency will be the key for Gladstone Park in the coming weeks as it looks to seal a top four spot in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association’s George Luscombe Shield.
Having unexpectedly lost to Buckley Park before Christmas, Gladstone Park was in no mood to mess around against Clarke�eld on Saturday.
A�er being sent in, Clarke�eld was bowled out for 85. Gayath Pandikorala was the best of the bowlers with four wickets.
Gladstone Park quickly chased down the runs, making 2-86.
Wes Telford top scored with 50 not out.Coach Matthew Nyhus said there was some
doubt over whether the game would go ahead, with the large amount of rain predicted.
“It was a pretty comfortable win and a win we needed,” he said.
“It was very hard batting out there, so it was a good toss to win.
“We bowled them out for 85 and everyone played their role.
“In the chase, we were mindful of the weather so we wanted to knock it o� pretty quickly.”
Nyhus said it was pleasing to put in all-round good performances in the �eld and with the ball.
“We need to be more consistent while bowling,” he said.
“Our batting has been really good. We made 300 and still lost before Christmas – we were made to pay for no balls against Buckley Park.”
Ashan DeSilva, batting at number three, and Andrew Gavaghan, who has taken over the wicketkeeping duties, have been the side’s big improvers.
Gladstone Park’s quest to play �nals will
be boosted by the return of one of its biggest names.
“Ryan Achilles will return this week. He has missed the last �ve games for family reasons,” Nyhus said. “He was a big signing for us in the o�-season and opens the batting for us. He will add some experience to the side.”
In the short term, Gladstone Park is looking to make the one-day and T20 �nals.
“If we win this week, we will play in the one-day �nal, which the club will be hosting no matter who is in it,” Nyhus said.
“We play Kealba-Green Gully, who we have a rivalry with. �ey defeated us in the semi-�nals last year.
“Next Tuesday night, we play in the T20 quarter-�nals [against Flemington].”

Whittlesea Little Athletic Centre is hoping to use the club’s success at the recent Victorian State Relay Championships to inspire members in the second half of its season.
�e club achieved its best results at the December championships, winning eight medals – two gold, three silver and three bronze.
�e under-14-16 boys medley team and the mixed under-14 4x100 metres relay teams won gold.
One of the club’s coaches, Cameron Lamb, said the results exceeded expectations.
�e club had 24 teams make it through to the state championships with most making �nals.
“We won four medals last year and we weren’t sure we could emulate that,” Lamb said. “To win eight medals is a record.”
Adding to the record medal tally, the centre’s under-14-16 boys medley team broke the state record.
�e team of Nathan Anderson, Danny Rigby, Lachlan Lamb and Brandon Austin ran a time of 1:39.66 to �nish ahead of Ballarat and Diamond Valley.
“It’s only the second state record ever set by anyone from the centre,” Lamb said. “I think the boys were quite relieved … they had felt the pressure to perform as we knew they were our best chance.”
Lamb said the club was hopeful further success would come at the region and state little athletics titles in February and March respectively.
“I think we will go excellent at both the events and go better than ever,” he said.
“At the state titles we never walk away with many medals – normally three or four.
“�is year we are hoping to smash that tally.”

Northern youngsters sizzle in state title campaigns�e Northern Falcons and North West Wizards started the Victorian Bushrangers under-18 state cricket championships with big wins on Sunday.
�e Falcons were too good for Central Highlanders, while the Wizards’ batsmen had a �eld day against Inner South East Scorpions.
Originally the group D match between the Falcons and Highlanders was scheduled to be played at Princes Park, Carlton, but the game was moved to Donvale a�er heavy rain in the lead-up.
A�er winning the toss, the Falcons chose to bowl.
It looked like a good move when the Falcons took two early wickets, including state player Matthew Underwood.
�e Highlanders’ other state representative, Blake �omson, set about settling his side.
�omson made 87, helping push the total to 8-166.
Luke Joyce, with 4-34, was best of the bowlers.
�e Falcons started well with the bat, getting to 36 before losing openers Darcy Cotter and Sebastian Contos.
�at brought captain Ben Roughsedge and Joyce to the wicket. �e pair steered the Falcons to 97 and Joyce continued to
dominate before falling for 72 with his team requiring just three to win.
�e Falcons got them, �nishing at 5-181.�e Wizards’ batsmen dominated the
group B �xture against Inner South East Scorpions.
Choosing to bowl �rst, the Wizards restricted the Scorpions to 9-166.
Nine Wizards players were given bowling opportunities, with Shaun Ha�enden and Clayton Campbell taking two wickets each.
Samuel La�an and Matthew Sipala raced past 70 in the Wizards’ opening partnership.
La�an, whose junior club was Craigieburn,
made 56 and Sipala 34. Once they departed, the pain didn’t let up for the Scorpions, with the Wizards scoring at nearly a run a ball.
Westmeadows’ Campbell top scored with 72 and Samuel Karamoshou made 40 on the way to 9-290.
�e Falcons and Wizards were due to play their second matches on Monday.
�e Falcons were to face South East Sharks, with the Wizards to do battle with the Barwon Rockets.
�e �nal round of the group stage is on Tuesday.

By Tara Murray
Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows is on track to keep its brilliant Craig Shield record intact a�er four rounds.
Having made the �nals of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association competition in 10 of the past 11 years, the Falcons have won their opening three matches in the west group.
�ey had to settle for a draw in the fourth round when Sunday’s match with Yarraville was called o� because of a wet wicket.
Coach Mitchell Strei� said the under-15 side was again looking to make �nals of the competition formerly known as the Hatch Shield.
“It’s been a really good start to the competition,” Strei� said a�er the third win.
“I didn’t think the side was as strong as last year’s team [which made the semi-�nals]. We
Falcons �ying to �nalsonly have one player from last year’s squad who’s come back. We know we have a good batting side, but I’ve been surprised with the performance of a couple of our bowlers.”
Spin twins Connor Marum and Devin Ratnasinghe have taken 15 wickets between them.
“�ey’ve been very handy,” Strei� said. “Connor, who’s come from Caroline Springs, was a late addition to the squad.”
�e batsmen haven’t been outshone either as the side dominated two of its three matches so far.
Ethan McShang scored 74 not out against Werribee a�er making 39 in the opening game against Sunshine.
Corey Barker made 53 in the �rst match and backed it up with 47 in the game against Williamstown. Wicketkeeper Ravi Paligaru has also been among the runs.
Strei� had expected the game with Yarraville to be a tough one, deciding who makes the �nals.
�e match being declared a draw could mean west group’s �nals berth comes down to percentage.
“It’s out of us and Yarraville,” Strei� said. “We play Altona and Melton in our last two matches and we should be able to beat them.”
In north group, Plenty Valley got its �rst win on Sunday against Kew.
A�er a round-one bye, the Bats lost their second-round match to Coburg before the third round was washed out.
Batting �rst on Sunday, the Bats made 6-145 with captain Jesse King top scoring with 47.
�e Bats restricted Kew to 6-103 in reply.For more photos of the Falcons’ win over
