Samuel Johnson and the Love Your Sister team with attendees at the Ballan IGA carpark. Photos - supplied

Message is clear –
By Meg Kennedy
Kick cancer’s butt
Hundreds of visitors crowded Ballan IGA to see Samuel
Johnson last week, as part of the Love Your Sister advocate
and actor’s nationwide tour to ‘kick cancer’s butt’.
The afternoon of Sunday, 13 October saw more than 400
people pack the IGA carpark, with a total of $12,336 raised in
cash donations and sales for the organisation.
Love Your Sister was founded in 2012 by Johnson and his
sister, Connie Johnson, who passed away in 2017 after a
decades-long battle with cancer.
Ballan IGA Assistant Store Manager Ashlee Brooker said
the day “was absolutely incredible, it couldn’t have gone any
better if we tried.”
“To look around our car park and see over 400 people there,
all supporting such a great cause and really backing Samuel
Johnson and the team at Love Your Sister, was one of those
moments you had to take a second to take it all in,” she said.
Activities on the day included a jumping castle, photo
opportunities with Johnson, a fire truck, a 1967 hot pink
‘Barbie-themed’ convertible, llamas, live music, face painting,
and a raffle.
Although packed with fun and excitement, the day was not
without its emotional moments.
“The day was a big gigantic bubble of emotion…a few key
stand-outs for the day was seeing Sam speak with, listen to
and share in a cry with individuals who are currently on their
own cancer journey, or who have been impacted recently by
the loss of a loved one,” said Ms Brooker.
“Another moment included a young girl who created a
drawing for Sam as ‘Sammy the Superhero’ and gifted it to
him. Instantly Sam’s eyes filled with tears.”
Ms Brooker said the response from attendees “was really
overwhelming”.
“I’m still having people stop me in the store to say thank
you…looking at all the social media posts, the captions are
filled with “Best day ever’, “So happy”,” she said.
“The world can be a really crappy place sometimes, but if
we got to bring a smile to just one person’s face – let alone 400
faces – then this was nothing short of a success.”

One more chance – “next step is jail”

By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A Teesdale man appeared in the Bacchus Marsh
Magistrate’s court on Friday 11 October with a guilty
plea to drug-driven charges.
Jamie Charles was intercepted by police on April 16
when travelling 17 km/h over the speed limit along
Bacchus Marsh road in Balliang.
The accused was asked by police to undergo a
preliminary oral fluid test, returning positive to
methamphetamine.
Prosecutor Sergeant Simon Pearce told the court
Charles “admitted to using ice several days prior.”
“I’ve looked at your history, it’s not a good one,”
Magistrate Letizia Torres told Charles. “Are you a
BUILDING A NEW DECKdrug user?”
“I am now and again, I’m trying to get off it but it’s
not as easy as people think,” Charles replied.
“Rehab is just too much money. I can’t afford it,” he
said.
Charles was assessed and approved to partake in a
community corrections order, the conditions include
the need to undergo rehabilitation.
“He is interested in detox but hasn’t been able to
afford it,” Magistrate Torres said. “It’s an order of the
court so if you don’t do it, the next step is jail,” she
told Charles.
The accused’s licence was cancelled and was
disqualified from driving for a period of 12-months.
He was also placed on a 12- month community
corrections order.
“It’s more important for the community that you get
off drugs,” Magistrate Torres said.

facility future?
By Helen Tatchell

It’s on again, and many in the community

are interested to see how healthy the Annual
Financial Report will be for a local embattled
health service.
Ballan District Health & Care will hold their
Annual General Meeting this Wednesday at
5.30pm in the Mechanics Institute Hall.
But what will have changed and what can
the community expect?
There are two Board members up for re-
election, one being the current Chair Lyn
Gunnell and a surprise inclusion Jacqui
Sfetcopoulos, who actually retired from the
Board over 12-months ago, recently took the
casual vacancy appointed by the committee,
after Board member Rowena Clift stepped
down and took the reins as Acting CEO.
“Jacqui Sfetcopoulos was appointed as a
casual vacancy according to the bylaws of
rule 6.9. (Any Casual Vacancy occurring on
the board may be filled by the committee
from among the members.),” Ms Clift told
the Moorabool News.
Tom Symondson Chief Executive of
Victorian Healthcare Association will be
the guest speaker, who will talk on the
challenges of delivering health services in
Victoria.
The Moorabool News asked Ms Clift if there
would be someone from BDH&C expressing
the challenges of delivering a health service
in Ballan and the approach to delivering
changes in 2019/20?
“The guest speaker will be followed by
our Board chair, Mrs Lyn Gunnell who will
relay the 2018/2019 financial year, and will
address future directions for Ballan District
Health and Care,” Ms Clift replied.
And as for the seemingly lack of doctors
and available appointments to meet a strong
supply and demand within the community,
where on occasion community reports of a
5-week wait for a toddler immunisation and
a 2-week wait for a specialist referral, had no
answers forthcoming.
“I expect many of your questions will be
answered in the AGM presentations,” Ms
Clift said.
There was no reply either from BDH&C
when the Moorabool News asked if an
announcement of confirmation or denial,
that Ballarat Health Services is an interested
party with a bi-partisan agreement or as sole
owner of the complex.
The BDH&C Annual General Meeting
(AGM) will be held on Wednesday 23
October, 5.30pm at the Ballan Mechanics
Institute Hall, Inglis St Ballan.
Pink-tober

The colour pink is now a common site
around Ballan and district, for good reason.
Pink up your town – Ballan, running under
the Ballan Autumn Festival committee
umbrella is raising funds for the McGrath
Foundation breast cancer support nurses.
Fundraising activities have been occurring
all through October, with the finale, a
Mayoral Ball to be held at St Annes Winery
on Friday 1 November.
Moorabool’s 2019 Australia Day Citizen
of the Year and BAF Vice President, Kevin
Harper said the township of Gordon has held
two successful Sunday afternoon events.
“A total of over $5000 was raised with a Pink
High Tea and a Gordon Goes Pink events,”
he said.
“The latter event was quite unique. A ticket
to the event allowed the bearer a selection of
soups, served in a handmade pottery bowl
which they got to keep and take home, plus a
‘cake’ of locally made soap.
“All in all, these events around Ballan and
district have seen a variety of merchandise to
purchase also, with local businesses coming
on board for a good cause”, he said.
The Pink up your town – Ballan, fundraiser
ends on Friday 1 November with a pink
Mayoral Ball at St Anne’s Winery Myrniong.

Royal acknowledgment
By Meg Kennedy
A Bacchus Marsh resident received
recognition at the 2019 Royal Melbourne
Show for her tapestry works last month.
Born locally, 86-year-old Alison Cumming
received a Commended award for her piece
‘Day-break’ in the Masters Tapestry section,
and a Very Highly Commended for her
piece ‘Two of Us’ (pictured) in September.
Ms Cumming began stitching tapestries
regularly “about 50-years ago” after she
suffered injuries in a car accident and was
bedridden.
“I work three and a half to four hours in the
afternoon. [Day-break] took three months,”
she said.
Ms Cumming said she was inspired to
stitch horses after a day out at the champion
racehorse retirement centre, Living Legends, Alison Cumming with her Royal Melbourne Show ‘Very Highly Commended’
in Greenvale.

“Living Legends had photos [of the horses],
I said I can do a tapestry of one, and so it
went on.”
Her works with Living Legends include
Apache Cat, with the aid of a printer that
converts photographs to canvas.
Ms Cumming has been entering her works
at the Royal Melbourne Show since 2001.
She hopes to enter next year’s Show, with
planned works including two horses
galloping in the snow, and a drover driving
a flock of sheep through a leafy forest.
Ms Cummings wanted to thank the people
and businesses that have helped her over
the years, including the Bacchus Marsh
Wool Shop, What Knots and Bacchus Marsh
Print & Copy.
Surveying the safety
Following hundreds of road casualties
in Moorabool within the last five years,
Moorabool Shire Council is currently
developing a Community Road Safety
Strategy and is looking for community
feedback.
Residents are encouraged to submit
feedback via an online survey at https://
h av e yo u r s ay. m o o r a b o o l .v i c .g o v. a u/
moorabool-community-road-safety-strategy.
The survey aims to assist in understanding
road safety issues from the perspective
of road users, riders and pedestrians,
and identify potential opportunities for
improvement.
The survey forms part of the first round
of community engagement, with open
sessions planned for November to provide a
summary of road safety data for Moorabool
and outline the results and key themes from
the survey feedback.
Following this, a draft document will be
developed and presented to Council for
consideration.

Drug test
returns positive
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A man who appeared in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrate’s
court on Friday 11 October described his illegal behaviour as
getting “caught up in an old wave.”
Jacob Sutcliffe was travelling east on Ballarat road when
intercepted by police, after they noticed the trailer he was
towing was unregistered.
Police asked Sutcliffe to undergo a preliminary oral fluid test,
which tested positive to the illicit drug methamphetamine.
Prosecutor Sergeant Simon Pearce told the court that the
accused’s tow load was checked and multiple items were
unrestrained and the “brakes were not operating at all.”
“I took some ‘speed’ the day before and it was a work trailer,
I was confident the items would stay,” Sutcliffe said.
Magistrate Letizia Torres asked the accused if he has a drug
problem, to which he replied that he “[may have] about ten
years ago.”
“A lot of things have changed since then, I just got caught up
in an old wave,” the accused said.
Sutcliffe was convicted and fined $600 and disqualified
from driving for a period of 12-months.
Phil Jeffrey, General Manager Community
Assets & Infrastructure, is keen to get as
much feedback as possible to help identify
and address road safety issues in Moorabool.
“In the last five years there have been 243
casualty crashes in the Moorabool Shire,
resulting in 226 serious injuries and 17
fatalities. It is important to bring those
numbers down,” Mr Jeffrey said.
“We can analyse crash data and tap into the
knowledge of our staff and Victoria Police,
however to get a better understanding
of why crashes occur, where the main
problems are, and the opportunities to make
improvements, we need feedback from the
local community and visitors to the Shire.
We encourage everyone to have their say.”
The survey only takes a few minutes to
complete and will close on Sunday 27
October 2019.

Shire Council on 5366 7100.

Mr Allan ‘Pat’ Adair at his birthday celebration last week.
Photos – HELEN TATCHELL
100-years of living
By Meg Kennedy
He cheekily replied that ‘he wouldn’t tell anyone’ where a 70-
year old Darley Football club senior premiership flag had been
hiding for the club’s 100-year anniversary back in June.
Now, Allan ‘Pat’ Adair is celebrating his own centenary.
Mr Adair blew out the candles on his cake for his 100th birthday
last week with family and friends at the Royal Freemasons
Lodge in Darley, where he was presented with a special plaque
from the Bacchus Marsh Fire Brigade for his years of service.
Pat Adair was born on 17 October 1919, and moved to Bacchus
Marsh from Ararat in 1936 to work as an apprentice in the gas
industry.
He joined the Bacchus Marsh Urban Fire Brigade in 1937 while
living in Merrimu House.
As part of his time in the fire brigade, Mr Adair competed in
‘running’ competitions, which involved a team of firefighters
setting up a hose and other firefighting equipment against the
clock.
News
(L-R) Chris Eggleston and Jason McMillan from the Bacchus
Marsh Fire Brigade made a special presentation to Mr Adair at
his 100th birthday celebrations.
He recalled in the BM Fire Brigade’s history book ‘Ringing the
Bell’ that he trained “every spare second he had.”
In 1945, with not a win behind them, the team discovered that
cutting a reel down to size would speed up the process.
BM Fire Brigade won the ‘Hose and Reel’ race, setting a record.
Mr Adair was presented with a plaque for his service to
Bacchus Marsh Fire Brigade by members Chris Eggleston and
Jason McMillian.
During the presentation, Mr Adair said “it’s something that
you’ve achieved it all, when you’re doing it you don’t sort of
recognise all this will happen.”
“It’s been very, very, very nice,” he said.
Mr Adair told the Moorabool News his secret to living a long
and healthy life was simply “hard-work”.
Although he has experienced many milestones in his 100-years,
Mr Adair quickly responded that his stand-out achievement
was “winning the first premiership in football.” He went on to
be a part of four Darley FC premierships.
“Lots of things you do, you don’t realise how a lot of moments
are important until you’ve lived them,” he said.

Students for sustainability
By Meg Kennedy
A local primary school has made a small
difference for sustainable energy.
Over the last 12-months, senior students at
Gordon Primary School have planned and
raised money to install an ‘off-grid’ corner
for wind and solar power.
The corner is a wind and solar-powered area
that doesn’t draw power from the school’s
main grid.
The area currently powers a water fountain,
but there are plans to power lights and other
main uses.
Principal Russel Cowan said the project
was “wonderful for our students to show a
positive approach to climate change.”
“For students to deliver this project and
also impact future sustainable decisions of

the school council is testament to the impact
they have had,” he said.
The project was supported with a $5000
grant from Moorabool Wind Farm, with
representatives viewing the project upon its
completion.
Moorabool Wind Farm Community
Engagement Manager Helen Kennedy said
“Goldwind and Moorabool Wind Farm are
proud to be part of this learning opportunity
for the students at Gordon Primary School.”
“The sponsorship has allowed the students
to learn about renewable energy and
sustainability and experience benefits
directly,” she said.
“I commend the students for their leadership
in this area and wish them every success
with future ventures.”

By Meg Kennedy
For crying out loud
The role of town crier dates back
centuries.
In Medieval Europe, town criers
were the means of communication
for notices such as proclamations
and local bylaws, since most
townspeople were illiterate.
But the tradition still exists today;
with Moorabool’s own town crier,
Gavin Barker, recently competing
at the national championships.
Mr Barker attended the
30th National Town Criers
Championships and the World
Town Crier Tournament in
Echuca, where he placed third
in the Champion of Champions
event, second for Loudest Cry,
and received the Pat Adamson
Memorial Award.
Mr Barker has been Moorabool
Shire’s town crier for the last
22-years; previously serving as
town crier of Colac and assistant
town crier at Ballarat, before
becoming Moorabool’s own.
As part of his role Mr Barker
attends citizenship ceremonies,
but stressed he is “available for
anything and everything.”
The competition held over the
weekend of Saturday, 12 October,
included presenting a cry to a
judging panel and repeating it
word-for-word with varying
volume and inflection (pitch in
voice).
“You are given a title for each cry;
so usually you do what is called
a home cry for the first one, so
you bestow the beauty and the
gloriousness of your home area,”
explained Mr Barker.
The cries are measured using
a point-scoring system and are
judged by a panel of four.
Mr Barker said the key to a good
cry is “to not take anything too
seriously”, joking the competition
also serves as a chance to reconnect
with fellow criers from around the
world.
“We’re travelling around, we’ve
visited schools and a nursing
home, so we have a good time,” he
said.
“Competition is serious, but it’s
not that serious that you’re going
to go out and you’re going to try
and kill for it.”
Although he’s been in the
business for decades, there are no
signs of Mr Barker slowing down
anytime soon.
“We’re only going to get bigger
and better; we’ve already
nominated next year’s competition
in New South Wales, I’m already
starting to think about the cries for
that one,” he said.
As for what is most rewarding
about his role, Mr Barker said it is
“getting to meet people.”
“I love that side of it, both young
and old.
“I also love being able to [share]
that Moorabool’s got a gorge,
we’ve got a castle, we’ve got a
fantastic winery – you name it, I’ll
spruik it for as long and as hard as
I can,” he said.
Gavin is available to perform at
events throughout Moorabool Moorabool Shire Town Crier Gavin Barker competing at the recent World
and can be reached via Moorabool and Australian Town Crier Tournament 2019 in Echuca.

Dear Sir/Madam,
It was extremely disturbing to
read ‘Marsh bypass still on the ta-
ble’ (MN 24 Sept 2019).
Back in 2008 VicRoads revealed
plans for a Woolpack Road exten-
sion. It was clear that such a plan
involved a significant impact on
our Avenue of Honour (the long-
est intact, living war memorial and
elm avenue in the world). It would
also carve through extensive mar-
ket garden lands (part of Victoria’s
“bread-basket”).
Not long after, the Avenue was
heritage listed. Opposition to the
plan gathered: large numbers of
locals, plus Melbournians, Victo-
rians, Australians, even people
from overseas, the National Trust,
veterans groups, various political
organisations, unions, historical
and botanical groups, and so on.
Importantly, numerous relatives
of those commemorated on the
Avenue protested. Bacchus Marsh’s
largest petition and biggest protest
rally signalled the level of opposi-
tion to this “plan”.
Between 2010 and 2012, Heritage
Victoria ruled against the plan,
the Heritage Council ruled 2:1 for
the plan, after a record three-day
hearing, but with a strong dissent-
ing vote. The Planning Minister
then “called in” the decision for re-
view by departmental experts. On
Australia Day 2012 the plan was
rejected on the grounds of its dam-
aging effects on our extraordinary
war memorial. I have no doubt
environmental impacts were also
considered.
As a result, the Avenue of Honour
became a centrepiece for WWI cen-
tenary commemorations 2014-18. It
remains our iconic landmark and
glorious town entrance.
The Avenue of Honour Preserva-
tion Group had always pushed for
the Halletts Way extension as the
solution for “local traffic conges-
tion”. This was reinforced to Coun-
cil after the 2012 decision, along
with suggestions for dealing with
truck through-traffic in our town.
Now we are presented with even
more damaging and suspect “by-
pass” plans, from a seemingly
obsessed and inflexible VicRoads.
This will again lead to division and
dissent for years to come, unless
wiser heads prevail.
VicRoads’ plans are horrendously
damaging. They are hugely expen-
sive, damaging, and will take years
to progress.
Alternatives have been presented
to VicRoads, by local experts, and
by business groups. Suggestions
that avoid destruction to the Av-
enue of Honour and market gar-
dens. Cheaper options. Alterna-
tives that can be rolled out sooner.
Options that address trucking
issues. Options that also help plan
for our town’s expansion, help im-
pending local traffic issues.
Instead we get the same old plans
that will forever and irretrievably
scar our town. Why?
One last point. Did you know
that these “plans” involve a four-
lane highway across the market
gardens? Did you know that this
would require an even bigger
roundabout cutting our Avenue of
Honour in two? So, these “plans”
are even more destructive than the
last lot.
Imagine driving, riding or walk-
ing along the Avenue of Honour
after that massive load of bitu-
men and concrete has been de-
posited. Our “cathedral of green”
and beautiful market garden vista
desecrated.
I urge everyone to oppose this
awful proposal. Alternatives are
available. Pass on our riches to our
children and grandchildren.

Dear Editor,
Ian McFarlane (Letters MN 15
Oct), your letter makes you sound
like a sad, vindictive man. Seeking
to blame others because progress
has caught up with Bacchus Marsh,
to the extent that you blame, quote
“hordes of extremely unwelcome
newcomers” unquote. Perhaps Ian,
you should invite Mr Trump over,
to build a wall to keep these new
ratepaying, local spending vermin
out.
And what is the “abominable scan-
dal” you speak of? Young families
and retirees wanting to share the
benefits of living in a semi-rural
area that you think is your genera-
tions own? And who do you class
as newcomers? When we moved to
Bacchus Marsh, 23-years ago, we
brought three school age sons with
us. We were jokingly told by local’s
in the early days that you needed
to have two generations in the cem-
etery to be considered locals. Well,
I thought they were joking, but on
reading your letter, perhaps they
were not.
Well none of us have been buried,
so I suppose using that criteria we
are still newcomers, but those three
schoolboys all now have partners,
and six children among them. They
all have good employment, their
own homes and use the schools
and day care centres, and shop in
Bacchus Marsh where they can.
They are members of local sport-
ing clubs, community groups, etc,
while one of them employs quite
a few staff and contractors in his
local business. They are typical of
your “newcomers”. And by living
in the area they and their friends
and others like them will keep this
area afloat, not to gradually disap-
pear like some of the poor country
towns in rural Victoria/ Australia.
Or is that want you want?
I agree it is more crowded around
town these days, but because of
these “newcomers”, the town has
much better health, education, and
other services than it had 20-years
ago. Oh, I can also tell you that as a
retiree, for some reason or other I
am down the street probably four
days of the week, and I never have
a problem obtaining a parking
space.

Dear Editor,
I would like to acknowledge the
state government on their recent
announcement of $58.9 million in-
vestment into rebuilding, resurfac-
ing and repairing 378 kilometres of
roads across Western Victoria.
In May, I met with Moorabool
Shire Council Mayor Paul Tatchell,
where we spoke of many issues
concerning the Shire, which in-
cluded road funding.
On my return to Parliament
House, I lobbied the Government
on behalf of the Western Victo-
rian constituents, meeting with
the Minister for Roads; where I
stressed the urgency in which re-
gional communities such as the
Moorabool Shire, required fund-
ing to upgrade their roads. I am
delighted that I was able to play my
role in ensuring these funds have
been invested in our region.
I was pleased to read in the Moor-
abool News (15 Oct) that work will
target rebuilding key stretches of
the Geelong- Ballan Road near Bal-
lan and Bacchus Marsh-Gisborne
Road near Coimadai.
I look forward to continuing to ad-
vocate for all Western Victorians,
and I encourage any members of
the public to contact my office if we
could be of any assistance in your
community.

Weather rains on Hyatt’s parade Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics
Darley Cricket Club
By Todd Whelan
Persistent rain has foiled Darley’s run
chase against Wendouree after their Round
3 match was called off at the weekend. The
Lions were 33 overs deep, in reply to the
Red Caps 4/195 (47 overs), still needing a
further 82 runs to win from their remaining
14 overs, with five wickets in hand. Former
West Indian international and Lions opener
Danza Hyatt was looking in control at the
crease, unbeaten on 73 (92). The fortunes
of Hyatt and inform Ryan Ali 2* (16) would
have determined the result no doubt, if play
was to resume. However, this wasn’t to be
the case. The two sides remain undefeated
at the top of the BCA First Grade table after
three rounds.
Lions coach Brian Wheelahan conceded it
wasn’t their best start to a game with the ball
after they won the toss and sent the home
side in.
“We were very inconsistent with our line
early and failed to get the ball into the right
areas, allowing a star-studded Red Caps
batting line up to put on 70 for the first
wicket,” he said.
“We didn’t take our second (wicket) until
they were 163.
“It wasn’t looking great.”
The Lions managed to restrict the Red Caps
to 4/195 after their 47 overs (reduced) with
some disciplined bowling in the latter stages
with off spinner Harry Killoran (3/39) the
pick of the bowlers.
According to Wheelahan the Lions opted
on the side of caution at the selection table
heading in, leaving out pacemen Benny
Longhurst (calf).
“Given our great start to the season, we
have some time on our side not to rush him
(Benny) back,” he said.
“Benny is so important to our side... but
he’ll have to get through some rigorous net
sessions over the coming weeks before a
return can be imminent.”
Wheelahan also acknowledged the
contribution of youngster Jordan Monaghan
with the gloves.
“Jordan was great in his second First XI
game behind the stumps,” he said.
“His effort should give him lots of confidence
going forward.”
With the bat, the Lions started well and were
in the hunt at 1/56 before Killoran 14(26) was
trapped LBW. The Englishman’s dismissal
sparked a mini collapse as the Lions lost 4/42
before Hyatt steadied the ship. The dashing
opener was seeing the ball beautifully in his
return game with a typically entertaining
knock that included six fours and three sixes.
But a lack of consistent support up the other
end was clearly palpable for Wheelahan and
his men.

A mixed round for the Bulls Dancing success

By Bruce Thomas
Bacchus Marsh Cricket
Bacchus Marsh 1st XI entered Round
3 of the GDCA McIntyre Cup without
a win but still confident that the first
two rounds were “blips on the radar.”
Playing Woodend at picturesque
Gilbert Gordon Oval, Captain/Coach,
James Lidgett, won the toss and elected
to bat. Opening with experienced
McIntyre veteran, Scott Wakefield, and
the explosive Brett McGrath, the pair
got off to a great start before losing
their first wicket at 74 with Wakefield
contributing 42. This brought James
Lidgett to the crease coming off two
scores of 66 and 84 in the first two
rounds. McGrath was bowled for 28
and Ben Robertson followed shortly
after. Wickets fell with some regularity
after that with only Lidgett putting
his head down and building a score.
Lidgett was the second last wicket to
fall making another great score of 74
giving him a total of 224 runs in the first
three rounds. Bacchus Marsh finished
their 40 overs with a respectable 8/190.
Unfortunately, the cricket gods weren’t
co-operating and rain fell after only two
overs of the Woodend innings and the
match was abandoned with a draw the
result. A win will be desirable against
the newly promoted St Anthony’s who
will be out to prove themselves against
The Bulls.
The school holidays saw members from Ballan’s
Studio C Performing Arts compete at the Ararat
Eisteddfod. 
For some members it was their very first time
performing in a dance competition and “a huge
achievement for these girls”, said Principal Director
Charlotte Hamilton.

The 2nd XI continued their good form
in the Johnstone Shield against the
newly named Sunbury Kangaroos,
previously called Ashfield, Royals,
Caloola and Training Centre cricket
clubs. With Bacchus Marsh batting
first, Ben Hall made a great 47 and
Ollie Powell put together a nice 51
with Sam Griffiths chipping in with a
handy 15 at the death knell. Bacchus
Marsh 9/200cc. Tom McColl ripped
through the Kangaroos taking 6/19 off
his allocated 8 overs. Extras second top
scored with 20 and only one batsman
making it into double figures. A very
comfortable win to the seconds rolling
the Kangaroos for 93 in 29 overs.
In Division 1 against Malmsbury, the
father/son opening combination of
Matt and Brodie Gellie struggled to
get the opening bowlers away with an
their 35 overs.
In Club Grade South, Bacchus Marsh
(1) struggled to 114 against Riddells
Creek. Paul Wilson the only standout
with 28 opening the batting. Good to
see Steve Freeman getting some runs
with 8, although club veteran Andrew
Porter, needs to lift somewhat, not
bothering the scorers on this occasion.
Riddell easily accounting for the runs
being 4/180 at the close of play.
Also, in Club Grade South against
Melton Centrals, Bacchus Marsh (2)
made 8/148 with Armi Wakefield,
proving he is a chip off the old block,
opening with 34 and Mark Robson,
showing that age is no barrier, making
46 including 5 fours in a row. Bacchus
