Don’t be late … for a

very important date!
If I had a world of my own,
everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is
because everything would be what
it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is
it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t
be, it would. You see?
- Alice
It’s time to tuck away your over-sized pocket-watch and
disappear down the rabbit hole into the wonderland that is
the Ballan Autumn Festival.
The theme for this year’s parade at the popular annual event
is the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party – and it’s enough to bring a
Cheshire-cat smile to your face.
“The highlight of the festival is the Ballan Farmers Market
Grande Street Parade and the effort that goes in from everyone
involved! There’s some fun to be had with this year’s theme
and we can’t wait to see what people come up with,” said
Festival Committee president Matthew Grindrod.
“If you’d like to participate in the parade, we encourage anyone
to reserve your spot by completing the online application
form. For more information and to register, please visit www.
ballanautumnfestival.org/parade-float-competition/”.
Meanwhile, things are, of course, ‘curiouser’ and ‘curiouser’
at the Ballan Post Office with a new sign appearing out the
front.
Andrew Smith has gone above and beyond in celebrating
the upcoming event with a stunning nod to the book from
which the festival takes its theme, Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland.
“I went and bought myself the abridged version of Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland, and in it, I thought the Cheshire
cat was one of the more interesting characters, and in the
story it has Alice falling down into Wonderland and there’s
a whole range of signs and I thought we could replicate that
as part of the festival,” Mr Smith told the Moorabool News.
The Men’s Shed made the signpost and signs, with talented
local artist Sarah Peckham working her magic on the
paintwork.
The signpost has been attracting the attention of locals, and
Andrew is proud of the quirky art.
“I am an absolute kid at heart, and I get as much enjoyment
out of doing these things as I hope the community gets from
it.”
Ballan’s postmaster Andrew Smith checks his clock, so he won’t be late for that very important date – Sunday 18 March The Ballan Autumn Festival will be held on Sunday 18
9am-4pm. Photo – Helen Tatchell March, 9am-4pm in the main street of Ballan.

Hayden Kloppers, has been
sentenced to eight years in
jail, with a minimum of five
years.
Mr Kloppers died instant-
ly when Paul Smith, 26,
ploughed his white Holden
utility into a large tree lo-
cated at the Bacchus Marsh
Avenue of Honour on March
25, 2017.
It is believed Smith was trav-
elling at a minimum 168kph
on the stretch of road, which
has a speed limit of 60kph.
In sentencing on Monday
12 February, County Court
Judge Gregory Lyon said
he had taken a number of
things into consideration,
including sentencing advi-
sory snap shots, received
from Smith’s lawyer Marcus
Dempsey, dating from 2006
to present.
He said he had also taken
into account Smith’s early
guilty plea, relative youth,
good character, prospects
of rehabilitation and his
“exhibition of considerable
remorse”.
Judge Lyon said if not for
Smith’s early guilty plea, he
would have been sentenced
to ten years with a minimum
parole period of eight-years.
Smith was charged with
one count of culpable driv-
ing. The maximum sentence
is 20-years.
Judge Lyon addressed the
family of Mr Kloppers, stat-
ing that the sentence im-
posed on the accused was in
no way a measure of the life
lost.
Smith’s license was disqual-
ified for a period of two years
from January 30, 2022. He
has already served 13 days
in pre-sentence detention.

Water
resources
on alert
By Jessica Howard
Vandals have damaged a number of security
fences at Western Water reservoirs and storage
tank reserves over the past few months.
The water company is urging people to be on
the lookout for illegal activity and intruders
who damage fences to gain entry to sites.
Western Water restricts access to protected
catchments to avoid contaminating the
drinking water.
Entering a protected drinking water storage
area is illegal under the Safe Drinking
Water Act, with large fines or six months’
imprisonment for a first offence.
Graham Holt, Western Water’s General
Manager, Customer and Community Relations,
said protecting the safety of quality of the
region’s drinking water is “absolutely critical”.
“Drinking water is a resource shared by the
whole community, and we would ask anyone
who sees someone illegally entering a reservoir
to contact us or the police”.
Mr Holt said drinking water storages,
including reservoirs and tanks, are surrounded
by fences and clearly marked ‘Do Not Enter’.
He said Western Water conducts regular
surveillance at reservoirs, including working
with Victoria Police.
“We have increased our surveillance to ensure
that anyone breaking the law gets caught”.

If your plan A is getting an overhaul –
we have a plan B to get you where you
need to go.
Our state is growing rapidly.
That’s why the Victorian Government is overhauling the
entire transport network with Victoria’s Big Build.
Some of these new road and rail projects include:
• the $1.57 billion Regional Rail Revival - upgrading every
regional train line
• the Metro Tunnel – to run more trains, more often
• the removal of 50 dangerous and congested
level crossings
• the West Gate Tunnel - the long overdue second
river crossing
• the North East Link - the missing link in Melbourne’s
ring road
• widening the Monash, Tullamarine and M80 freeways
• the Mernda Rail Extension - bringing trains to
growing communities.
With so many major projects underway, there will be road
and rail disruptions, so to find out if you need to change your

Vandals leave evidence at campsite

By Jessica Howard
Vandals who damaged
several large trees at the Ler-
derderg State Park have left
behind identifying evidence.
Brandon Traynor, an avid
camper who runs the Face-
book page Swag Country,
said three old trees were
hacked down with a chain-
saw sometime between Sat-
urday, February 3 and Sun-
day, February 4.
He said vandals also graf-
fitied a number of nearby
trees and left a large quan-
tity of glass and rubbish in a
fire, which was still burning
on Sunday morning.
“We drove around to the
main entrance of the camp-
ing spot, but it was blocked
by the fallen trees,” he said.
“I first thought that they
may have fallen down in the
wind but when we stopped,
it was clear that they had
been deliberately cut down,
and not by a professional,
but by someone who cer-
tainly didn’t know what
they were doing”.
Mr Traynor said the camp-
site was littered with several
broken beer bottles and cans,
as well as Chinese take away
containers, loaves of bread,
a bag of prawn crackers and
empty condom wrappers.
“All of the food looked quite
fresh, like it had been there
for only a short time.
“We also found either a
4WD tow or snatch strap in
the fire”.
The incident comes just
two months after vandals
illegally cut down five trees,
some more than 100-years-
old, at the Lerderderg Camp-
ground, Upper Chadwick
Track, in December last year.
Mr Traynor said according
to a park ranger, the site was
clean and undamaged on the
morning of Saturday Febru-
ary 3.
“Fortunately, the person
responsible left behind an
EFTPOS receipt printed
with either their first or last
name,” he said.
The receipt revealed two
items purchased from an
adult shop in Sunshine and
listed the date and time of
purchase, and the name
Ryan.
Mr Traynor said the receipt
was handed in to a nearby
park ranger.
“After cleaning up the site
as best we could, we started
to drive home via O’Briens
Crossing… when we noticed
a park ranger,” he said.
“We showed her all the
photographs and the receipt
we found, which was a very,
very fresh receipt. It wasn’t
crumpled at all, it literally
looked like someone had just
gone shopping”.
Mark Forsyth, Parks Victo-
ria’s Area Chief Ranger for
Geelong, said Parks Victoria
was notified of the aban-
doned campsite and felled
trees on Sunday February 4.
“The site has now been
cleaned up by Parks Victo-
ria and the incident is being
investigated. If anyone is
caught cutting down trees
on Parks Victoria managed
land they risk being fined,”
he said.
“Unfortunately, it’s an all
too frequent occurrence for
Parks Victoria staff’s valu-
able time and resources be-
ing used to clean up rubbish
and vandalism in parks and
reserves.
“Cleaning up from any act
of vandalism takes away
time and money that could
be better spent on produc-
tive activities such as main-
taining walking tracks or
improving park services”.
Penalties for cutting, fell-
ing, removing, damaging, or
destroying trees and other
vegetation in national and
state parks can include ini-
tial fines under the National
Parks Act 1975, additional
fines under the Wildlife
Regulations 2013, and court
judgements where further
penalties may be applied.
Anyone with information is
urged to contact Parks Victo-
ria on 13 19 63 or Crime Stop-
pers on 1800 333 000.

There’s no questioning the facts. During summer, you should check Fire Danger Ratings daily via the
VicEmergency website or app. The higher the rating, the more uncontrollable a fire would be if one started.
Ratings can be different across the state, so know your fire district. Decide what rating is your trigger to take action.

Is recycling just a load of rubbish?

By Kate Taylor
Despite recent news head-
lines, recycling is not a waste
and residents should contin-
ue with their usual practices,
according to Moorabool
Shire Council.
Questions have been raised
over recycling ending up in
landfill after China’s recent
ban on the import of ‘foreign
rubbish’, which saw compa-
nies such as local govern-
ment recycling contractor
Visy send local refuse over-
seas to be processed.
Despite having Visy as its
recycling contractor, Moora-
bool Shire Council has not
yet been affected by the ban,
according to Council’s In-
frastructure Manager Phil
Jeffrey.
“Council is currently in dis-
cussions with its contractor
Visy, and at the present time,
the issue is not impacting
operations,” Mr Jeffrey told
the Moorabool News.
“We want to assure resi-
dents that the recycling
services remain unchanged,
and to continue recycling
as normal to keep these re-
sources out of landfill.”
Local residents could be af-
fected in the future, as dis-
cussions continue not only
locally but across the nation
to resolve the issue.
“The sector along with the
Grampians Central West
Waste and Resource Recov-
ery Group, of which we are
a member, is working with
the Victorian Government
and industry as a matter of
urgency to respond to the
issues posed by the China
restrictions on importation,”
Mr Jeffrey concluded.
Mayor Paul Tatchell was not
surprised that sending all
local recycling to China has
not worked out and says that
the problem should be fixed
earlier in the rubbish cycle.
“You know what happens
when you put all your eggs
in the one basket, try it with
an egg carton and the whole
thing gets scrambled. The
whole recycling thing was
based on a flawed economic
process, lots of people mak-
ing lots of money; the real
question is how much of the
recycled material was going
to land fill in any case?
“Moorabool has a contract
for the next 18 months; after
that, I would imagine the
Green influence will come
up with another farcical and
expensive solution. For my
money I would suggest con-
centrating on the source of
the problem rather than the
destination; it’s chicken and
egg really.”
Moorabool Councillors
passed a motion at last year’s
October meeting to look
into recycling processes fol- The contract specifies that
lowing reports of recyclable no recycling be disposed of
materials being dumped at at any of Moorabool’s three
landfills. transfer stations, and the
report on the issue tabled at
Visy’s contract with council the December council meet-
was worth $586,634 to them ing identified sites operat-
last year alone, and is not ing within Victoria at which
due to expire until 2019. Visy processes recycling.
What happens to our recycling?
Paper and cardboard are transported to Visy’s paper mill
in Coolaroo, for reprocessing into 100% recycled paper
reels. These sheets are then used to make the external
layer of cardboard boxes which takes place at Visy’s box
factory in Dandenong.
Plastic PET is sent to Visy’s facility in Smithfield, New
South Wales where it is used to manufacture 100%
recycled food grade packaging and recycled drink bottles.

Moorabool Shire Council

NOTICE OF ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
The next Ordinary Meeting of Council will be held on Wednesday 7 March, 2018 in the
Council Chambers, 15 Stead St, Ballan, commencing at 6.00pm.
Members of the public are most welcome to attend.
INGLIS ST, BALLAN – STREETSCAPE UPGRADE
Inglis Street, Ballan will undergo a major revamp in the coming months, resulting in a more
attractive and safer street for all residents, traders and visitors.
From mid-February to late May there will be disruption in the street, with parking and access
affected. We apologise in advance for this disruption and will be working very closely with
traders to ensure any impact is kept to a minimum. No business closures will occur – all traders
will be able to operate in line with their normal business hours.
This exciting project will result in:
• Full replacement of footpaths between Fisken and Stead streets (both sides)
• Additional car parking in Inglis Street
• New street furniture
• New trees and landscaping
If you have any questions about the project, please contact Council’s Engineering Services
department on 5366 7100.
HAVE YOUR SAY: INDOOR RECREATION FACILITIES AND A SPLASH PARK
Moorabool Shire Council has appointed @Leisure Planners to prepare two studies: a Moorabool

The recreation facilities project will:
• Provide a clear direction on the current and future indoor recreation facility needs for the Shire
• Direct Council on the best options to provide and facilitate access to indoor courts in the
future, with the aim to improve community participation with indoor court related sports.

• Assess the viability and identify appropriate location(s) for splash parks across Moorabool Shire
• Review the feasibility of the timing of the proposed Bacchus Marsh Indoor Aquatic Centre

Mr Webb said the EPA’s Illegal

By Jessica Howard
The pile of old tyres lying at the
back of your property is a stack of
chemicals waiting to burn, says the
Environment Protection Authority.
Chris Webb of the EPA’s Illegal
Waste Disposal Strikeforce said
summer grass fires and bushfires
are dangerous enough without
stockpiles of unused waste tyres
waiting in their path.
“Tyre fires are very hard to control
and generate hazardous smoke that
can cause an even greater health
risk to the community, through
the inhalation of particles and
chemicals,” he said.
“It’s a threat to the landholder’s
livelihood and the homes and safety
of people who live nearby, whether
they are on neighbouring farms or in
a nearby town or suburban area.
“Farmers do have some practical
uses for old tyres like holding down

tarps, but many tyre stockpiles are
just a fire hazard and a threat to the
environment.”
It is illegal to burn or dump old
tyres and if left long enough, they
can begin to decay and pollute the
soil and ground water.
In 2015, Victoria saw a significant
reduction in the number of known
stockpiles, after the EPA introduced
tighter controls for waste tyre
storage.
The regulations require any
stockpile of more than 40 tonnes or
5,000 waste tyres to be licensed, with
requirements for on-site firefighting

“If you have purchased a
home and receive an email
from the estate agent with
trust account details to make
payment, call the agent or
visit them in person to verify
that the email is legitimate,”
Mr Cohen said.
“Be very suspicious if you
receive a second email tell-
ing you to make payment
into another account, even
if it is from the same email
address.
“We also strongly encour-
age estate agents, and all
businesses, to regularly
review and secure their on-
line systems to avoid these
situations.”
Consumers are encouraged
to follow these tips to help
keep their email accounts
safe:
• consider setting up a two-
step verification process
with your email accounts.
•
change your passwords
and other verification de-
tails regularly
•
delete spam messages
without opening them
•
do not share your email
address online unless you
need to.
Any businesses or individu-
als who believe they have
been tricked into paying
money into the wrong ac-
count, are urged to contact
their bank immediately.

Nelson takes more than gold

Bacchus Marsh Little
Athletics

Last weekend, 23 Bacchus

By Jessica Howard
Cobra’s Ashlee Wallis (pictured) is one step
ahead of the game after a session with some
of the best athletic talent in the country.
The Women’s AFL Academy program saw
local footballers get up close and personal
with high performing and well recognised
athletes, including recently retired AFL
player Dennis Armfield, who played
10-years with Carlton Football Club; Richelle
Cranston from AFLW Melbourne Football
Club; and Olympian Anna Flanagan.
The program was held in November 2017
and January, this year.
The Academy offers a platform for players
to develop their game, while equipping
them with the right skills and knowledge
to compete at the highest level and develop
themselves as a cutting-edge athlete.
Richelle Cranston, from AFLW Melbourne
Football Club, said the all-inclusive female
program is a fantastic step towards exposing
all athletes with a passion for the game of
AFL.
“Learning from coaches that have played
and are currently playing the game at the
highest level is a fantastic opportunity for
the girls to learn what the pathway is like,”
she said.
“I would have loved something like this
when I was growing up.
“With an opportunity like this to learn
and improve football, no matter what
level footballers wish to achieve, this is an
opportunity for all females to get involved
and have a go”.
The next Women’s AFL Academy Program
will be held over two days from March 3.
Age groups include eight to 11-year-olds,
12-15-year-olds and 16-and-over.
For information on joining the program,
visit http://afl.academy.
Marsh athletes represented
the Centre at the 2018 West-
ern Metro Region Track &
Field Championships at
Newport Athletics Track,
Williamstown.
Bacchus Marsh Centre
claimed 7 Gold, 6 Silver and
8 Bronze Medals for the
Championships.
The highlight of the week-
end was the outstanding
performance of Under 9 ath-
lete Nelson Banigo who not
only won 4 gold medals but
set 3 Victorian and Austral-
ian records*.  On Day 1 of
competition Nelson ran 9.82
seconds in the final of the 70
metres (Vic Rec 10.09, Aust
Rec 9.94) while in the after-
noon Nelson ran 28.10 secs
in his 200 metres heat (Vic
Nelson Banigo claimed four Gold medals and has 3 State &
Rec 29.24, Aust Rec 28.84). National Records pending.
The Vic record has stood for
47 years whilst the Aust Rec
has stood for 43 years. On Day 2 of the Championships Nelson then ran 13.64 secs for the 100
metres (Vic Rec 13.98, Aust Rec 13.64 eq).  After a busy schedule Nelson then finished off with
a remarkable winning performance in the 400 metres. 
*All records are still pending and require ratification from the Little Athletics Victorian and Australian
Board of Management.
Under 9 athlete Luatangi Haunga won silver medals in the Shot Put and Discus while older
brother Matai won gold in the Under 11 Shot Put.  Alex Lloyd claimed silver in the Under
10 High Jump after a count back on results and won a bronze medal in the Long Jump with
a personal best performance.  In the Under 12 100 metre final, Ryan Lister won the bronze
medal in a close finish.  Jack Flanagan ran a consistently paced 1500 metres to cross the line
in 3rd place and take the bronze medal.
Temi Olaitan won silver in the Under 9 70 metre sprint and silver in the High Jump.  Bridie
Shanahan threw 24.38 metres in the Under 12 Discus to win bronze.  The Under 15 girls in
their final Regional Championship claimed 7 medals - Kirsty Bresnan won gold in the Triple
Jump and bronze in the 300m hurdles while Olivia Way won the gold medal in the hurdles
and bronze in the 200 metres.  Kayla Downes threw a PB in the Discus to also win bronze
while Eliza Schrembri won silver in the Long Jump and bronze in the Javelin.

Ballan Cricket Club
Ballan 1st X1: Ballan 7/342 def North Ballarat 10/285
Batting - M Snaith 103, Z Graham 73, D Graham 36, M
Currie 50 not out, R Ranieri 7 not out
Bowling - Z Graham 16-3-4/42, D Graham 10-3-2/44, R
Ranieri 5-1-1/15, D Gardiner 3-1-1/24, M Snaith 10-2-1/39, B
Loughnane 8-0-1/26
Ballan declared before play commenced and then bowled,
picking up wickets steadily until North Ballarat batsmen put
together a couple of good partnerships, which were helped
by some poor fielding with dropped catches but Ballan’s
bowlers continued with their good bowling to have North
Ballarat all out for 285. Zac Graham was the best of the
bowlers picking up 4 for 3 in the last four balls.
Ballan 2nd X1: Ballan 10/166 lost North Ballarat 3/292
Batting - J Fawcus 55, T Trickey 47, A Trickey 16, M Vallance
15, J Costello 14 no
Bowling - T McGregor 7-0-2/56, J McEgan 7-0-1/62
North Ballarat won the toss and elected to bat, North Ballarat
put on a massive total of 293 runs with Thomas McGregor and
Jason McEgan the only bowlers getting wickets. Ballan went
out hard to chase the total down but found it too difficult.
Ballan’s best batsmen were Justin Fawcus and Tyler Trickey.
Under 16: Bye
Under 14: Ballan 5/119 def Wendouree 8/66
Batting - D Pascoe 32 ret, M Golding 24 not out, G Muir 14, J
Jarvis 7 and N Neumann 7
Bowling - D Pascoe 2-1-3/2, J Jarvis 3-0-2/6, G Muir 2-0-1/2,
M Popple 2-1-1/3, N Loft 2-1-1/8
Ballan fielded first keeping Wendouree to 66 after 25 overs.
Jack Jarvis got 2 wickets, Daniel Pascoe 3 wickets, George
Muir, Mackenzie Popple and Ned Loft all getting 1 wicket
each. Ballan made Wendouree’s score easily with good
batting by all the boys.
Under 13: Ballan 6/93 lost VRI Delacombe 1/120
Batting - B Conroy 35 not out, J Black 21, A Britt 10, A Eskdale
4 not out
Bowling - M Conroy 3-0-1/10
Ballan won the toss and batted first with all players batting
well, led by Ben Conroy with 35 not out and James Black 21.
When Ballan bowled they got a wicket from the 2nd ball of the
innings from Mackenzie Conroy’s bowling with a good catch
by Lucas Smits. Unfortunately, Ballan bowlers where not able
to restrict VRI Delacombe to less than their score.
Under 12: Ballan 2/75 v Melton Lions 2/77
Batting - E Boland 23 no, C Durante 8 no, J Mauriks 8 no, E
Davenport 3
Bowling - B Davenport 1-0-1/1, E Ayres 2-0-1/9, A Connor
1-0-0/1, A McIlwaine 1-0-0/1, V Berton 2-0-0/5
An up and down innings in the field and some untidy
bowling allowed Melton to get a few more runs than we
would have liked. The highlight of the day being another one
of the “3 Amigos” Beth Davenport having a breakout game
getting her first wicket, fielding brilliantly and then wicket
keeping after being ill throughout the day. Ethan Boland and
Conor Durante opened the batting well to get Ballan back
in the game, Jock Mauriks scored some valuable runs at the
end of the innings to complement an outstanding fielding
performance.

Darley Cricket Club

By Shaun Kelly
Darley’s First XI finals hopes are still
alive after defeating Ballarat-Redan in
the second-last round of the season last
Saturday.
To make a return finals appearance,
Darley not only have to defeat bottom
side Brown Hill in a two-day match
starting this Saturday, but also have to
rely on Napoleons-Sebastopol defeat-
ing Mount Clear in their two-day game.
Celebrating their annual Pink Stumps
Day at Darley Park, raising money for
the Jane McGrath Foundation, Darley
started the day at 0/15 chasing Ballarat-
Redan’s 149 and despite losing early
wickets that saw the Lions sit at 2/19,
a 59 run fourth-wicket partnership be-
tween Anuruuda Rajapaksha (39) and
Brad Barnes (63) helped get things back
on track as the Lions passed the Com-
bine’s score with five wickets down
and eventually declared at 9/201, send-
ing Ballarat-Redan back in to try and
score some much needed percentage
and having them at 2/26 off the final 14
over stint.
Darley’s Second XI recorded a victory
over VRI Delacombe that has cemented
its finals with one round remaining.
Starting the day at 4/93 chasing VRI
Delacombe’s 130, things got a bit shaky
with the score on 7/113 after Nick
Whan advanced his overnight score
from 17 to 30 before Marcus Ingvorsen
(19) and Ryan Densley (13) combined to
get the Lions over the line with seven
wickets down before both Ingvorsen
and Jye Stephenson were dismissed in
successive deliveries with the score on
135, and Densley falling eight runs later
to close the innings on 143.
VRI Delacombe then batted again, ad-
vancing to 2/103 at the end of the day’s
play.
Darley’s Third XI joined their senior
teams on the winners list, celebrat-
ing their fourth win of the season and
a jump up the ladder after defeating
Wendouree White at the Darley Hub.
After making just 87 last week, the
Lions had Wendouree teetering at 7/56
after play last week and after Wendou-
ree’s youngsters advanced the score to
73.
Wheeler’s second day wicket gave him
figures of 4/34 for the innings, whilst
King finished on 3/19 from 15 overs.
Pink Stumps Day.
Darley then batted for 48 overs to
finish the day’s play, scoring 6/125
with a 46 run fourth wicket partner-
ship between Lane Havelberg (47) and
Brendan Densley (27) the highlight.
Scores from Darley’s Fourth XI game
against VRI Delacombe were unavail-
able at the time of print.
Juniors
A stellar performance with both bat
and ball by Ryan Densley has contin-
ued Darley’s undefeated run in the 16
& Under competition, with the Lions
defeating North Ballarat by 7 wickets
in a one-day game this past Saturday.
With the Lions celebrating Pink
Stumps Day across all senior and jun-
ior grades to raise money for the Jane
McGrath Foundation, Densley took
5/27 off five overs to help hold the
Roosters to 7/92 after they won the toss
and batted, then scored 39 not out with
the bat to help march the Lions to vic-
tory in just 15 overs.
The Lions approach their final game of
the season with a last-round challenge
against Napoleons-Sebastopol.
Darley’s 14 & Under side also tuned up
for finals with a one-day win, by just
three wickets.
The Lions made 9/108 from their 25
overs against Wendouree White, with
Will Johnson (25), Aaron Cadman (21)
and Logan Moffat (13) the standouts
with the bat, before the Red Caps got
agonisingly close, finishing their 25
overs on 7/103. Cadman was the chief
wicket-taker with 2/14 off five overs,
with Brodie Ward, Austin Macbeth
and Jimmy Martindale all taking single
wickets.
The Darley Roar’s Under 12 game
against St Anthony’s is delicately
poised after the first day.
Batting first, St Anthony’s scored 2/115
from their 20 overs, with Darley scoring
4/101 in return to have the game, which
Darley need to win to have a hope of
playing finals, in an interesting state at
the halfway mark.
Both of Darley’s Under 10 teams, the
Prowl and the Cubs, again put in im-
pressive performances in their second-
last games of the season on Saturday
morning.
The Prowl bowled first against Mel-
ton Centrals White and held them to
7/83, with brothers Koby and Max
Learmonth taking two wickets each
and Theodore Kannar, Vansh Goel and
Ewan Shelley all taking a wicket. The
Prowl then made 7/130 with the bat,
with Shelley (19) and the Learmonth
boys – Max (12) and Koby (11) – the
game’s top scorers.
The all-girls Cubs team continued
their fantastic first season against Mel-
ton Centrals Red, with Centrals mak-
ing 5/113 with Mackenzie Elmer taking
two wickets and Destiny Stewart, Mad-
die Scott and Jessie Hodge all taking
one wicket each before the Cubs made
6/125 off their 20 overs with the bat as
Diamond Stephenson top-scored with
19, along with Scott (12), Stewart (11),
Hodge (10) and Elmer (6) all doing their
part with the bat.
