New Mayor takes the chair

By Helen Tatchell
He has been a Moorabool councillor for the
past seven-years and now has taken on the
Mayoral role for the last term of council for
the 2019/2020 year, a role he held in 2016/2017.
David Edwards is a councillor in the East
Ward of Moorabool, is married with two
children and lives in Maddingley. The
Edwards family name spans five-generations
in Bacchus Marsh, with grandfather Charles,
bearing a plaque in the Avenue of Honour.
The appointment came last Wednesday
13 November at the annual Statutory and
Annual Appointments Meeting. Receiving
four votes to two (Cr John Keogh).
Cr Edwards’ first appointment as Mayor
led the new council of 2016/2017 and said
it was really about “setting standards and
providing a good governance framework.”
He expects 2019/2020 will be very different.
“We have a mature Council who have
worked together for three years now. I see
this year about building on relationships
I have made during 2016/17, and making
new relationships that will help Moorabool
prosper,” he said.
The vision for Cr Edwards over the next
12-months is about driving outcomes based
on the strategic work carried out over the last
seven-years.
“Some of these projects include Stage 1 of
the BM RRR, Plans for the Ballan Library and
sewerage for our small towns. Infrastructure
aside, Moorabool need to attract investment
and facilitate the creation of local jobs. With
60 percent of our workforce commuting
outside the Shire for work we run the real risk
of becoming a dormant community. We need
to ensure we remove barriers to investment
whilst maintain policy that protects and
maintains the unique characteristics of
Moorabool.”
He was unsure about changing things; he
believes he will have the opportunity to
build on the foundations laid by Cr Tatchell
as the outgoing Mayor.
“I have a very different background to Cr
Tatchell and will bring different experience
from my work in Government Agency and
my work with Groups such as the Perri
Urban Group of rural Councils. This should
enable me to continue to build strong
relationships and provide an effective voice
for all of Moorabool.”
It is not a requirement for a Mayor to take
leave from their employment, however Cr
Edwards will be retaining his employ and
explains how he will juggle both roles.
“It’s a fair question. Juggling work and
Council is something that takes a lot of effort
and sacrifice. I’m sure my fellow councillors
all struggle with the same problem, however
they all run their own businesses and maybe
have more flexibility. The reality for me is
that I had to sit down with my employer
to discuss this and what it would mean.
They have been extremely supportive and
agreed to me using accumulated leave or
leave without pay to full fill the duties of the
Mayor.
“It is impossible for any Mayor to attend
every event they are invited to. Events clash
with events, meetings with politicians clash
with events, this is just a reality, and in these
circumstances, it provides an opportunity
for my fellow Councillors to act as the
spokesperson for Council,” he said.
Having performed the role previously, Cr
Edwards said he was fully aware of the role
and the commitment that is required.
“I would not have put up my hand nor
gained the support of my fellow Councillors
if they believed I would not be an effective
Mayor.”
Cr Edwards said, “it is a real honour to lead
Council at such an important time.”
“Never before has Moorabool experienced
such high levels of interest from developers
and investors in our Shire and with this
come great opportunities, but also great
risk,” he said.
The term of office for the Mayor of
Moorabool Shire Council is for one (1) year
with that term expiring at 6am on the day of
the next general election of Council, being
Saturday 24 October 2020.

Road upgrade lands with applicant
By Kate Taylor
Obstacle course and challenges on and around the lake,
sunrise walks up nearby Mt Buninyong, early morning yoga
and meditation in the paddocks, kayak and stand-up paddle-
boarding on the lake, horse riding, pontoon picnics, a reptile
display, trout fishing and bush painting sessions, are the
plentiful events scheduled on a planning application.
However, objections received by council in response to the
planning application were about issues such as increased
fire hazard, traffic, noise and light, with each addressed by
council officers.
It was the matter of 300m of gravel road however that
proved a tricky issue.
Planning consultant Clem Newton Brown told the October
2 council meeting that the infrastructure set up for events
would be temporary, with showers, toilets, event marquees
and glamping-style tents set up for each one – adding there
would be no music festivals.
An objector then spoke at the meeting, along with a
nearby resident who pointed out that the single gravel road
providing access to the Yuulong road property from the
Midland Highway at Scotsburn should be upgraded.
Councillors debated approving the permit – but with a
requirement that the property owner pays for the road to be
upgraded.
East Ward Councillor Dave Edwards was against the new
requirement.
‘It’s unreasonable for us to expect a business to pay for
300m of road – we wouldn’t ask a developer of a two-unit
development to do this,” he argued.
West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan said he didn’t “want to
stop the project – but that the road needs to be upgraded.”
“VicRoads is putting in a slip-lane, - that says there’s a lot
of traffic to go up this road… we have a duty of care with
appropriate conditions. This development is increasing the
flow of traffic, and we’re not asking for it to be sealed, just
gravel to an appropriate standard,” he told the meeting.
The new motion was passed with the requirement for the
property owner to upgrade the 300m of gravel road with
councillors Tonia Dudzik, Paul Tatchell and Tom Sullivan
voting in favour, councillors Dave Edwards, John Keogh and
Jarrod Bingham voting against, with then Mayor making the
final call to approve it.

New laws
for local
government
“Strong local councils are crucial to building strong
communities,” Minister for Local Government Adem
Somyurek has said.
The comment comes after the State Government introduced
a new Local Government Bill 2019 into parliament last week.
Mr Somyurelk said the Andrews Labor Government is
improving democracy, accountability and service delivery
in Victoria’s 79 Councils.
“This Bill will make councils more accountable, democratic
and help them deliver the services their communities rely
on,” he said.
The Bill builds on last year’s Local Government Bill 2018
– which was the result of a three-year consultation with
councils, communities and sector bodies – and delivers a
range of new reforms, including:
• higher standards through mandatory training for council
election candidates and councillors
• more transparent complaint handling
• electoral reform including more closely aligning the voters
roll with the state
• defining standards of conduct to guide councillor
behaviour and make dealing with councillor conduct
• introducing a preference for single member wards to make
councils more accountable.
The new Bill retains the reforms under the 2018 Bill that were
designed to empower councils to improve service delivery,
by focusing on deliberative engagement and long-term
financial management. These reforms will:
• require councils to involve their community in developing
policy and long-term planning
• align CEO employment and renumeration to public sector
entities
• enable joint meetings of councils and greater council
collaboration and innovation
• empower community members to set the agenda for their
municipality through a Community Vision.
Current rating provisions will remain in the Local
Government Act 1989 until the ongoing rating review
finalises its recommendations to government in March next
year.
“We need a modern Local Government Act that meets the
changing needs and expectations of Victorians – these are
important changes that will deliver better outcomes for local
communities,” Mr Somyurek said.
We would like to express our sincere
gratitude to everyone who makes the
extra effort to shop in The Avenue of
Honour & support local farmers.

Deployment to relieve fire-fighters
By Meg Kennedy
Although the bushfires in New South Wales
and Queensland seem far away, our local fire
brigades are currently on the frontlines.
Members from the Bacchus Marsh, Ballan
and Mt Egerton brigade strike teams headed
north last week, to help battle various blazes
along the New South Wales coast.
Bacchus Marsh Fire Brigades Group 1st
Deputy Group Officer Nathan Ractliffe
said there are “a number of members across
District 15” that have made the journey to
New South Wales.
The firefighters are stationed near Goulburn,
where they are completing asset protection,
backburning and suppression duties.
“They’ve got a complex fire; they’re flying
everyone up to Sydney and then bussing
them out to Goulburn, and that’s where our
trucks are based at the moment,” said Mr
Ractliffe.
“We’re sending crews until at least Monday,
so our district has permitted troops until at
least Monday and Tuesday [this] week.”
Mr Ractliffe said interstate teams allow for
local brigades to take a much-needed break.
“[The community] have been on a constant
alert, unable to take a rest, and that’s where
you see an interstate team come through
with fresh legs and working…I suppose

that also reduces the stress levels and adds
a bit of comfort…even the people who are
responsible for the fire suppression in that
area, they get to have a breath and catch
themselves and take a bit of support,” he
said.
“Everyone’s working together on a common
goal, and to try to do the right thing for the
community and country.”
As for what Victoria can expect for the
coming fire season, Mr Ractliffe said early
preparation is key.
“At some point it will be our turn…my
warning would be that people need to start
[fire preparation] now before it gets too late;
prepare, have a plan, so when…it all does
turn pear-shaped, we’re ready and rearing
to go.”
Mr Ractliffe thanked the community for
their support.
“We sure don’t do it for accolades, but we’re
doing it to help our friends in New South
[Wales] and Queensland, and they will
return the favour if it happens to us,” he said.
“It just shows you the level of commitment

Bushfire workshop
With bushfires razing areas in New South Wales and Queensland, knowledge of
what to do in a fire emergency is of utmost importance when coming into the summer
months.
The CFA will again hold a Community Bushfire Scenario Workshop in Bacchus
Marsh later this month, making sure community members are aware of how to plan
and survive in a bushfire situation.
The discussion and scenario will be facilitated as a ‘hypothetical’ situation set in the
fictional township of ‘Seraphine’, where participants are given roles and locations,
and will be asked how they would respond.
“Like last year, the fire station will be open to the public and will be tied in with a
discussion and scenario about awareness and preparedness for grass, bush and house
fires,” said Bacchus Marsh Urban Fire Brigade Community Safety Manager Scott
Pepin.
The Scenario Workshop will be held on Thursday, 28 November at the Bacchus Marsh
Fire Station in Main Street, Bacchus Marsh.
There will be a free BBQ prior at 6.30pm, followed by the workshop from 7pm – 9pm.

New opportunity
Ballan Lioness Club volunteers at the Steptoes Op Shop. Photos: Meg Kennedy
By Meg Kennedy
The popular Steptoes Op-Shop in
Ballan is set to change hands in 2021.
Ballan Lioness Club President Fred
Moore confirmed to the Moorabool
News the management of the Steptoes
Op-Shop will be handed to the Ballan
Hospital in 18-months’ time.
Ms Moore said this is due to the
nation-wide disbandment of the
Lionesses in 2021.
“We’ve resigned to the fact [that the
Lionesses are disbanding]…there’s
nothing we can do,” said Ms Moore.
The current lease on the mosaicked
Inglis Street house is set to expire in
March 2021.
Ballan District Health & Care, which
run the ‘Opportunity on Inglis’ shop,
will then take over.
Opening hours are also expected
to increase, with the (Steptoes)
shop currently open on Fridays and
Saturdays only.
Australia is one of the last countries
in the world to have an active Lioness
branch that is separate from the Lions
Club.
Lions Australia CEO Rob Oerlemans
told the Moorabool News that
programs such as the ‘Lioness Bridge
Program’ aim to bring current
Lionesses into the Lions Club, and a
decision on the future of the Lioness
Club will “happen in January”.
Ms Moore said a few of the current
volunteers may stay when the hand-
over takes place, but also “take
into consideration the age of the
volunteers”.
“We’ve had a wonderful time, our
customers are like family,” she said.
The Ballan Lioness Club Steptoes
Op-Shop is located at 111 Inglis St
Ballan and operates on Fridays and
Saturdays between 9.30am-3pm.
The court head on Friday 8
November that Caleb Matula-
Barron and two co-accusers
attended a residence in Johna-
thon Drive Darley, in the early
hours of February 16 this year.
Prosecutor Senior Constable
Helen Farmer said Matula-
Barron and co-accusers went
to the victim’s house to ad-
dress an altercation that had
happened earlier the previous
day.
“Upon the door being opened,
Matula-Barron grabbed the
victim by the jumper and at-
tempted to pull him outside of
the house,” SC Farmer told the
court.
The victim remained inside,
the door to the house was
closed and locked and Matula-

had apologised to the victim
for the altercation and paid for
the damages to the door.
“He had too much to drink,
as he admits in his interview,”
the accused’s lawyer said.
“Obviously, you did the
wrong thing and apologised
the next day,” Magistrate
Gregory Robinson said.
“You are a young man with
some potential, so I will give
you this opportunity to avoid
a conviction,” Magistrate Rob-
inson continued.
Matula-Barron was placed on
an adjourned undertaking for
a period of 12-months, he was
also ordered to pay $500 to a
court fund.

Get in the
Christmas Spirit
Since 2016, The Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh has been selling
Christmas Trees as a community fundraiser with the Bacchus Marsh
SES Unit. For the first two weekends in December, members of
both organisations come together to sell freshly cut, locally grown
Christmas trees to the residents of Bacchus Marsh and Districts. Past
funds donated by Rotary to SES have been substantial, assisting most
recently in the purchase of Bacchus Marsh SES Unit’s latest search
and rescue motorbike (as pictured).

to conviction

A hidden number plate alerted police to an outstanding warrant, and an appearance in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrate court before Magistrate Gregory Robinson.
The court heard on Friday 8 November that Jacob Lambrou was travelling along Grey Street
Darley when he was intercepted by police, due to them not being able to see the vehicles
number plates.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Helen Farmer told the court that checks were conducted on the
accused’s licence and found he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
When interviewed by police at the Bacchus Marsh police station, Lambrou said he “was
working [the day of his hearing], I missed the court date, I clearly forgot.”
The reason for his earlier court date was due to failing a preliminary oral fluid test when
intercepted by police on Grant street Bacchus Marsh back on 16 July 2017.
Lambrou was convicted and fined an aggregate sum of $750 and $127.40 in statutory costs.
He was disqualified from driving for a period of three-months.

Minister to receive
amended documents
By Kate Taylor
Moorabool Shire councillors have
forwarded some important paperwork to the
Minister for Planning.
Councillors voted at the October 2 council
meeting to forward Amendment C88 to
the Minister, for incorporation into the
Moorabool Planning Scheme.
Amendment C88 will see the Ballan
Strategic Directions document implemented
so that it will guide the growth of the town
until 2041.
Residents of Old Melbourne road spoke
at the meeting, saying that their property
has been treated differently to others and
it is impacting their lifestyle while others
told the meeting that the panel had taken
their concerns into consideration and made
changes to the amendment.
“We continue to be treated differently, we
can’t prove it, but we believe we are being
discriminated against,” one resident told the
meeting.
Council had received 39 objections to the
proposed amendment, which prompted
a hearing by an independent panel which
then went on to make changes to council’s
original amendment.
East Ward councillor Dave Edwards
put forward the motion to forward the
amendment to the Minister and fellow East
Ward councillor John Keogh seconded it –
West Ward councillor Tom Sullivan had left
the room because of a conflict of interest and
did not vote - the motion was passed.

BORGELT, Lawry WATTERS, Lindsay GIOFCHES, Ally

I have lived in the Woodlands Ward since I was four
years old. I grew up in Greendale from 1979-1990 and on
Mt. Blackwood from 1991-1999 and I currently reside in
Myrniong. I attended Ballan Kindergarten, Myrniong PS
(as does my youngest child) and geologically mapped the
Lerderderg River under scholarship of the Geological Survey
of Victoria while at University. To say I love the area is an
understatement and I am proud to be raising my children
here. I wish to fully utilize and preserve the Ward’s valuable
farming land as well as promote our rich agricultural and
pioneering heritage. I am passionate about promoting
sustainable use of our bushland and parks, so more people
can enjoy our area as much as I do. One of my main
priorities is to see an equitable distribution of funds across
all communities of the Ward that will help preserve the
unique character of each settlement as well as maximizing
our potential to benefit from tourist dollars, and to ensure
residents get the amenities they pay for in their rates. I also
believe in an equitable rates payment system.
More than 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change
is happening, is human caused, and will bring catastrophic
results. If elected, I will devote my energies to addressing the
climate emergency at a council level and use this platform
to pressure State and Federal governments to declare a
climate emergency, mobilise and act swiftly to minimise the
worst effects of this for our generation and the generations
to follow. More frequent and severe droughts, bushfires and
other extreme weather events are already starting to impact,
and we need to take strong action to build a more resilient
community, insulated from the worst effects, and an example
for other councils to follow. Many other councils in Australia
and around the world have already declared a climate
emergency and are taking action - why not our council? I
ran as a candidate at the last State election campaigning on
the climate emergency and have been involved in climate
emergency campaigns since 2012. My background is in
financial planning, and I have worked for the last 7-years in
training and development roles in the tertiary sector. What’s
more important than the long-term safety and security of
our families, friends and community?
I enjoy engaging with down to earth, honest, genuine people
in our community. Straight to the point conversation about
things that matter, because we matter. I want to contribute to
the conversation of our townships culture and use the energy
of my personality to make a difference. I’ll tell it how it is,
with passion, but no agenda. A natural progression through
local committees has inspired me to want to do more for
my local region. Some of the organisations that I have had
the privilege to be a part of are, Gordon PS, CWA, Wallace
Kindergarten, Gordon Auskick, Gordon Community Fair,
volunteering at the Ballan Farmers Market and a Member
of the Ballan Chamber of Commerce. I’m passionate about
maintaining the wholesome feel of our small townships,
whilst accepting the correct amount of growth into our
towns so it compliments, not hinders. I am a farm owner, run
two small local businesses, whilst being a parent to three
children. I understand the challenges of being all of these
things in a fast-moving world. Let me help steer our Shire
in the right direction by representing the Woodlands Ward.

Dear Editor,
Rick Dickson’s letter (MN,
12 Nov) requires a response.
It is littered with numerous
factual errors.
“These trees are now 100
years old.” Correct. Expert
arboriculturist evidence at
Heritage Victoria hearings
rejecting the Woolpack pro-
posal indicated a lifespan for
most at 140 years, at least.
‘‘The plan about 4 years
ago was to extend Woolpack
road to the Freeway”. No,
proposed 2008, finally reject-
ed more than 7 years ago, on
Australia Day 2012, on herit-
age and history grounds.
“Take-out 5 trees...for a
roundabout”... Initial plan 9,
then 5. Both rejected. New
plan, how many? For a 4-lane
highway, many more, and a
huge hole in the Avenue.
Legal and accepted petition
against the Woolpack exten-
sion 10,000. Much smaller
“petition” for the extension
largely rejected by State
Government due to inap-
propriate and misleading
wording.
“Why still oppose” a des-
ecrating plan? Because al-
ternative options are avail-
able, and because we revere
a world-famous, intact war
memorial, and because our
market gardens should not
be cut apart.
“Do-gooders never men-
tion that trees have been
replaced along the Avenue
of Honour”. We have always
acknowledged this and com-
mend the ongoing preserva-
tion of an intact Avenue.
Lastly, we agree with addi-
tional memorials. However,
these are not costed, un-
planned, and not proposed
in VicRoads or Council docu-
ments. And why should they
cut apart a world-famous,
century old living memorial
to previous veterans of the
deadliest Australian war?
Alternatives are available.

THE PATCHY ONE
Dear Editor
With respect, in my opin-
ion I felt your page 3 re-
port on the recent AGM of
Ballan Heath and Care was
rather alarmist. When Yes
or No questions are asked
that don’t have a Yes or No
answer, in an open public
forum it only puts people
on the spot. In this case Ms
Gunnell who is merely do-
ing her best as a Volunteer
Chairperson to answer ques-
tions honestly to the best of
her knowledge on behalf of
the Board of Management
made up of other Com-
munity minded members
doing their best to manage
this vital 75 year old Health
care centre on behalf of the
Community. I would have
thought if a business that
has been operating suc-
cessfully for 73 years in
the black with very large
unencumbered assets, we
of the community should
have enough faith and trust
in this Board to guide our
Complex through this chal-
lenging period. One should
always remember that the
only times one ever fails is
when one gives up.

Dear Editor,
It was with a degree of as-
tonishment and amazement
when I read your article
“Councillor speaks out, of
turn” (MN 5 Nov). It is one
month short of 5-years when
I wrote to the editor when
this hair brained idea was
gaining traction, my com-
ments then are as relevant
today. This Bacchus Marsh
aquatic centre will be of no
benefit to the residents of
the shire other than those
who live in Bacchus Marsh,
the rapidly growing urban
township tacked on to the
eastern extremity of our
shire boundary that is closer
to Melton, 10-minutes up the
road, a town with an aquatic
centre and a town with the
infrastructure that Bacchus
Marsh craves. The fact that
this Bacchus Marsh aquatic
centre is on an advocacy list,
whatever that is, and Cr Ke-
ogh, Deputy Mayor, advises
council is moving forward
and ratepayers money is
obviously being spent on
the concept as there “...has
been a number of versions
of the plan over many years”
demonstrates it is alive. Cr
Keogh advises that coun-
cil is (again?) appointing a
consultant and estimates
expenditure of $30 to $40
million for the centre. Cr
Keogh is silent on the run-
ning costs of such a facility,
which would be in the many
thousands of dollars per
year. When some roadworks
were required in Gordon in
mid 2017 Cr Keogh advo-
cated striking a special rate
for Gordon residents as they
would be the ones to benefit
from those works. Cr Keoghs
philosophy should be ap-
plied to this Bacchus Marsh
aquatic centre proposal and
a special rate struck for the
residents of Bacchus Marsh
who would be the benefi-
ciaries of such a centre.
This proposal further dem-
onstrates the widening gap
between the needs of the
rural ratepayers of the shire
and the needs of a rapidly
growing urban centre like
Bacchus Marsh, and its geo-
graphic isolation and dis-
connection from the rest of
the shire. It also effectively
demonstrates the imbalance
of rural representation on
council with the dominance
of East Ward Bacchus Marsh
councillors.
It is time Bacchus Marsh
is excised from the shire
and amalgamated with
Melton where they share
similar needs of a suburban
environment.

The Fiskville Cup

An event for volunteer fire fighters in the Ballan Group of brigades has been running annually since the 1970s.
The Fiskville Cup is a training exercise and this year involved nine-brigades from the Ballan Group and included
Meredith FB (District 7) as a guest brigade.
All brigades participated in eight-scenarios and were award points on each completed scenario.
Held in the Morrisons area it was the Wallace Brigade taking out the 2019 honours.
Mt Egerton FB crew leader Andrew Redfern took out the Robert Molesworth Award for Best Crew Leader.
The Fiskville Cup is held annually with rotating venues each year.

Bulls content with first

innings’ points
Bacchus Marsh Cricket Club
By Bruce Thomas
With the first innings’ points already in the bank, the
Bacchus Marsh McIntyre 1st XI side were hoping for ten
wickets early in the afternoon with the possibility of an
outright victory. Woodend resumed at 0/34 with a lead over
the Bulls of 17 runs on the first innings. Unfortunately, the
day turned out to be a hard slog at Maddingley Park with
the team not getting the wickets in a timely manner that
everyone desired. Woodend batted very well to end the day
being all out for 290 after 87 overs. Lachlan Payne and Kasun
Suriaratchi were the pick of the bowlers with three each. The
Bulls are sitting third on the ladder and play Romsey, who
are sixth on the ladder, in a two-day game at Romsey.
The 2nd XI were aiming to get past Sunbury Kangaroos’ score
of 188 in the Johnstone Shield. It was not to be; with the team
falling short by 38 runs making 150 in 58 overs, which was
disappointing to say the least. Connor Ascough top scored
with 41, followed by Hamish Garner, batting very maturely
and well for his 32 followed by Brenton Payne with 24 at the
lower end of the innings. The Bulls are third on the ladder
and play East Sunbury, who are second on the ladder, in the
next round.
In Division 1, the Bulls resumed at a respectable 0/42 in
response to Malmsbury’s 10/161 last week. Wickets tumbled
with monotonous regularity and only veteran Matt Gellie (42)
and Chris Dugdale-Porter (52) showed any signs of resistance
and were also, apart from extras, the only scorers to make it
into double figures. Bacchus Marsh fell agonisingly short by
6 runs when the last wicket fell. The Bulls are sitting fourth
on the ladder.
In Division 2, the Bulls were defending 184 at the
Racecourse Oval against Woodend. Although getting an
early breakthrough with opener Chew going for 2 when the
score was 6, the day was to belong to Woodend with the team
ending up 5/191. Wickets shared amongst the seven bowlers
used on the day. A disappointing result but the team still
remain on top of the ladder.
The Division 3 game against Melton Centrals at Masons
Lane 2 was a great result for the Bulls. Sam Lalor displayed
some of the batting genes of the Lalor family dynasty when
he made a well fought out 75. Other good displays in the
team were Jack Kovecevic (55), Sam Hayward (40) and Darcy
Bishop (36). Extras certainly gave the score a boost with 56
being added to the Bacchus Marsh score. A comfortable
victory to the Bulls when the innings was compulsorily
closed at 4/285 off the allotted 65 overs.
In the Club Grade South game against Eynesbury, the Bulls
were in all sorts of trouble last week chasing the opposition’s
total of 125. At the close of play last week, Bacchus Marsh
were 5/35 and looking for saviours. As predicted by the
author, Cam Lidgett (32*) and Craig Mitchell (27) came to the
rescue as did John Mowlam with a swashbuckling 63 as only
he could. A great fight back and an even better result with
the Bulls taking the points at 7/164.
