HOMEWARD BOUND – Rove prepares for the 250km journey back to Barham (NSW) from Bacchus Marsh council pound, with owner Lauren and son George. Photos – Helen Tatchell
Meg Kennedy & Helen Tatchell
A 6-year old male golden retriever and
his human family have been apart since
23 January, and were last week reunited
some 250 kilometres from home.
Originally lost from Barham in NSW,
Rove was found at Bolwarrah, 15km
from Ballan and reunited with his
owners at the Moorabool Shire Council
Pound on Wednesday morning.
Thanks to Rove’s microchip, his owners
Lauren and Lachy Mathers were easy to
locate.
As fate has it, Lauren and her husband,
with 3-year old son George, just
happened to be in Melbourne on Tuesday
afternoon when they got the call.
Rove and his mate Ralph, a Maremma
sheep dog, both wandered off in Barham
with Lauren searching high and low
ever since, even taking to social media
in a vain hope of finding their dogs.
In an emotional and tearful reunion
at the council pound, Rove’s tail never
stopped wagging.
“If you find a dog, take it to the local
pound or vet,” said owner Lauren.
Rove was handed into the Ballan police
station by a Bolwarrah resident where
he was then taken to the vet to treat
head and neck wounds and was put on
medication.
It appeared over the last 6-weeks Rove
had been attacked by another animal,
suffering deep cuts to his head and
throat.
Ralph is still missing with unconfirmed
sightings in the Koondrook area.
Microchipping for dogs and cats is a
state government requirement, and dogs
and cats over the age of three in the
Moorabool Shire must be microchipped
and registered.

reunion, visit the Moorabool News
website or Facebook page.

Premier Andrews said at a door-stop event
on the existing platform.
“This is about more trains more often and
we are on time; we are going along very
nicely in regard to the program of works.”
Mr Andrews said there will be some
significant disruption at that end of this
month.
“A 9-day shut down on this line will occur,
so all passengers will be coached (bused). We
do apologise for the inconvenience that will
cause,” he said.
“These upgrades can only be achieved
safely if we take trains off the line.”
Premier Andrews and the Minister for

visited Ballan to inspect the progress on the
station upgrade, alongside newly elected

Magical time
of year arrives
By Meg Kennedy
It’s almost bewitching hour in
Ballan, with final preparations
under way for the 2019 Ballan
Autumn Festival.
Over the last week a spell has
been cast over the main street,
turning into a hub of wizardry
and magic; including a poster
of Harry Potter racing on his broomstick for
the ‘golden snitch’ at the Ballan Post Office
(pictured).
Ballan Autumn Festival President Kevin
Harper said he’s most looking forward to
the grand parade, due to the “excitement of
seeing the whole local community coming
together, using their talents in decorating the
floats, and [seeing] the joy of those parents
and friends waving to those taking part.”
“It’s Ballan celebrating what it does best,
which is enjoying itself in the best way that it
possibly can,” said Mr Harper.
Other stand-out events for this year include
the Ballan and District CWA’s morning and
afternoon teas, as well as live entertainment
on stage.
For what attendees should look out for, Mr
Harper says that “roving magicians” are a
new addition for this year.
“There will be people providing tricks in the
street and at the other venues, at the hotels,

and the morning and afternoon
teas being served in the Ballan
Mechanics Hall,” he said.
A tenet of the Autumn Festival
has always been for Ballan to
showcase its sense of commu-
nity, and its something that Mr
Harper hopes attendees take
away from this year - particular-
ly if last year’s record-breaking
numbers are anything to go by.
“I hope that they would take away a sense
of a community, working as a community.
A community that lives together, works
together and plays together, and a sense
of what it is to be part of this small rural
community,” he said.
The Ballan Autumn Festival committee is
also still looking for volunteers to help early
in the morning.
“If people could come at around 7am or 8am
to help for a couple of hours, and then they
can stay and enjoy the rest of the festival,”
said Mr Harper.
The Ballan Autumn Festival will be held
on Sunday, 17 March from 10-4pm, with the
grand parade at 11am.

Festival, including how to become a volunteer,

Trio attack security guards
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A coward punch attack has seen a
Brookfield man go to jail, with his co-
offender coming off with a hefty fine.
Brody Richie (24), Daniel Stratton (25) and
Katelyn Bunworth (24) were involved in a
pub brawl last September at a Maddingley
gaming venue.
Richie and Stratton both appeared in
the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates Court on
Friday 1 March, before Magistrate Gregory
Robinson.

It was alleged by the prosecution, Sergeant
Aimee Heal, the three accused were playing
the poker machines when Richie was asked
to stop playing more than one machine at a
time by a gaming attendant at the venue.
Bunworth was alleged to have become
verbally abusive and the gaming attendant
called for security guard assistance. The
verbal abuse continued and Bunworth was
asked to leave the premises.
The court heard when Bunworth was asked
to leave she started punching and kicking
the security guard, who protected his face
without retaliation.
The trio were all asked to leave and escorted
from the premises by security.
Prosecutor Sgt Heal said once the two
security guards successfully had all the
offenders out of the venue, one of the guards
began talking to Stratton.
“Whilst talking to Stratton, Richie coward
punched the guard to the side of the face,
the guard hit the ground, falling onto the
wall and grazing the side of his face in the
process,” she said.
The second security guard was kicked and
punched by Bunworth when Stratton joined
in on the abuse. The guards escaped and
locked themselves inside the venue with the
three offenders fleeing the scene, the court
heard.
The incident was captured on CCTV footage
with the coward punched security guard
taken to hospital where he was treated for
minor head injuries.
Sgt Heal said when Stratton was interviewed
by police, he showed no remorse and failed
to identify the co-offenders. Richie turned
himself in to authorities.
Stratton’s lawyer told Magistrate Gregory
Robinson his client was “coming to the aide
of his female friend”.
“The offending was of a completely different
nature to Richie’s,” he said.
Richie’s lawyer said it was “very serious
offending”.
“My client accepts that and he’s taking it
very seriously,” and went on to describe
the cowards’ punch as a “brief error of
judgement”.
Magistrate Robinson acknowledged the
plea of guilty.
“I acknowledge that you’ve shown remorse,”
Magistrate Robinson said to Richie.
“But there Is a problem with young men,
especially those who resort to violence when
drinking alcohol.
“I respond with the highest level of
punishment, not to deter you, but as a
message to everyone else that if you are
involved in this type of behaviour you will
go to jail,” Magistrate Robinson said.
Richie was sentenced to five days’
imprisonment with Stratton convicted and
fined $1500. Bunworth did not appear in
court.

Grass not greener

By Helen Tatchell
over the fence
The last two-months of summer
have not been kind to the district
and the Ballan Bowling Club have
been hit hard.
With only 8mm of rain in January,
and 7mm in February, their
bowling rinks have gone from
green to dead. But it wasn’t through
a lack of water.
Mick Conroy is the Secretary of
the club and said they were using
bore water from the recreation
reserve tanks.
“January was a very hot month
and we found we were getting
bare patches in our green, so we
upped our water consumption
with sprinklers, but the green got
worse,”
he said.
Mr Conroy said in the end it just
became unplayable; “alright for
practice but not for competition.”
“We stopped our home pennant
matches and got an independent
turf consultancy mob in to do a
thorough analysis of our green.
They took 30-soil samples of the
green and the results came back
with high salt content in the green.”
The testing also sampled the water
they used from the bore.
“We’ve been using, this year,
water from the bore rather than
The Ballan bowling ‘green’ that has died after a combination of extreme hot weather and bore water that
contained salt. Photo – Helen Tatchell
the mains, and didn’t know the salt
content in the soil rose.
“Last year we used mains water
constantly and it cost the club
$1500, so this year we decided
to use the bore constantly,” Mr
Conroy said.
Unfortunately for the club they
thought they would save money,
but now, face a repair bill of
between $30,000 up to $200,000,
depending on the option they take.
They have four options with the
latter being a costly synthetic
green.
The second option is to take two
inches off the top of the green,
recondition the green, rotary hoe it
and start again with reseeding and
re-fertilise, at a cost of $30,000.
The third is – don’t play next year
and redevelop with a different sort
of grass at a cost of $40-50,000,
including loss of income.
Mr Conroy said the fourth option
is to patch it.
“We can get it back to playable
conditions, with patch up remedial
works. This would last about 2-3
years, and in that time hopefully
get enough money for a synthetic
green.”
The club spends annually upward
of $15,000 on greens maintenance.
A cost the club incurs through
membership and sponsorship.
The club has taken swift action
and connected a 50,000 litre fresh
water tank to the roof of the
clubrooms, and plumbed back
in to the sprinkler system. The
recreation reserve committee of
management supplied the tank,
with local plumber Travis Toohey
donating his time to connect it and
a local water cartage business also
sponsoring to fill the tank.
Currently the club has 47 playing
members and 56 social members.
“If we don’t have a bowling green,
we don’t have a bowling club,” Mr
Conroy said.
“What we are trying to do is have
a bowling green in five-years that
will last 20-years.
“It is going to be tough to raise
$200,000 but will source as many
Grants as we can for the funding,”
he said.
The members, through the
executive committee will meet to
make a decision within the next
week.
The Ballan Bowling Club is located
in Cowie street and is a user group
at the Ballan Recreation Reserve.

Doctor demise in Ballan
By Kate Taylor
Ballan has lost another popular GP, Dr
David Llewellyn and all seems hush hush.
In a move so swift that most patients were
without the opportunity to say thank-you
and goodbye, Dr Llewellyn resigned from
the Ballan District Health and Care operated
medical centre and has already gone.
The Moorabool News has received several
calls already from curious patients asking
if we can find out the reasons behind Dr
Llewellyn’s seemingly sudden departure,
especially so soon after the departure of
fellow GP Dr Dhillon.
A response about the departure and
circumstances from the BDHC Board Chair
Lyn Gunnell and Senior Vice-President
Robert Eskdale have so far gone unanswered.
It is understood Dr Llewellyn was to leave in
mid-March but did not see out his resignation
notice.
“Ballan has lost what is possibly its best
doctor in David Llewellyn,” one reader told
the Moorabool News in an email.
“With all that is going on with the Health
Centre it is curious that he suddenly resigns.
Why did this brilliant, community minded
doctor suddenly resign? And where is he
now working? I for one will travel to Ballarat
or wherever he goes to be his patient once
more,” the email said.
BDHC placed a public notice in the
Moorabool News advising that Dr Llewellyn
had left the centre, thanking him for his
service and that an experienced GP is being
sought to join the remaining five doctors.
“…gratefully acknowledge the six-years
of GP service provided by Dr David
Llewellyn….,” the notice read (MN 26 Feb
2019).
Two new GP registrars have joined the
health care facility mid-February.
A paid advertisement by UFS Medical
Doveton Street (MN 5 March 2019) read,
“….Dr Llewellyn has relocated to UFS
Medical in Ballarat and will be available to
see patients from Monday 18 March…”
It was only in October 2017 that Dr Llewellyn
made a commitment and renewed his
contract for a further five years with BDH&C.

Truck flips trailer
By Meg Kennedy
A truck has been halved this morning
(Thursday 7 March), after its rear trailer
broke away and rolled on its side on the
Ballan-Geelong Rd near Mt Wallace.
The incident occurred around 11.45am
in the Ballan-bound lane, just past
Hamills Lane, where the rear trailer
appears to have broken away from the
After a commitment to Ballan District Health & Care in October 2017 for a
further five-years, Dr Llewellyn has left the organisation suddenly.

Doctor commitment
By Jessica Howard
Doctor David Llewellyn will continue to
serve the Ballan community for another
five years.
The general practitioner started his full-
time position at Ballan District Health and
Care in 2012 after working part-time for a
period of 18-months.
A doctor for three decades, Dr Llewellyn
started his medical journey as a student at
Monash University in Melbourne. He spent
his post-grad year in Ballarat, followed by
Shepparton and Bendigo.
He later moved on to the North Coast of
New South Wales, where he spent 11-years
working in procedural obstetrics and
general practice.
“I would have delivered around 150 babies
per year up there,” he said.
“I was the head of obstetrics and I really
did enjoy it, however my parents became
unwell, so I moved back to Ballarat to be
useful. It wasn’t a simple decision to move,
but it was definitely the correct one”.
Dr Llewellyn took on a position at Eureka
Medical Centre in Ballarat, before moving
to a part time role at Ballan District Health
and Care.

By Caitlin Bewley

A seemingly harmless party trick saw a man appear in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrate’s court on Friday 1 March before
Magistrate Gregory Robinson.
28-year-old Michael Peters had friends over for drinks on
May 26 of last year when he allegedly decided to blow the
dust off a homemade weapon his lawyer said, “was in his
shed for years”.
Prosecutor Sergeant Aimee Heal told the court the accused
shot an ‘orange cannon’ at an unknown male walking his
dog in the Underbank estate near Hallett’s Way.
It was alleged by the prosecution that the man walking his
dog was an off-duty police officer and that he heard a male
voice shout that he “[wasn’t] meant to have [his] dog down

Alice Fitz in to ambassador role
Alice Fitzpatrick campdrafting. Photo - Beauty and the Huntress Photography

By Meg Kennedy

By Meg Kennedy
A young woman with a passion for
campdrafting has become a national
ambassador to support charities
through her sport.
Alice Fitzpatrick has been named
this year’s Classic Ladies Foundation
Young Ambassador, which allows
young women in the campdrafting
community to get involved with aiding
important causes.
The 24-year old former Bacchus Marsh
resident has been campdrafting for
seven years, and says the sport is great
“because the whole family can do it.”
“We’ve met so many beautiful people
from travelling all over the country to
campdraft…not only do you have to
refine your own and your horse’s skills,
you have to show up on the day and
work as a team,” she says.
The Classic Ladies Foundation
Young Ambassador Quest aims to
support and empower young women
who participate in campdrafting to
get involved with the Foundation’s
fundraising efforts, which includes
donating to the charities Kiss Goodbye
to MS and Foundation for Breast Cancer
Care.
Ms Fitzpatrick says she wants to “raise
awareness of the foundation” by getting
other campdrafting clubs on board
with raising money, and to encourage
young women in campdrafting to
become involved.
“I want to help promote and grow
our sport and I really want the young
riders in not only campdrafting, but the
greater equine industry to realise that
there are huge opportunities out there
for them,” she says.
Her advice for young girls and women
in campdrafting is to “step up and put
yourself out there.”
“Don’t let being shy or embarrassed
stop you from having a go and having
fun,” she says.
“Say what you feel. Everyone is only
human like you, you’ve nothing to lose
from being yourself. You’d be amazed
the support that you get when people
can see how hard you’re trying.”
As for the future, Ms Fitzpatrick has
completed a Bachelor of Agribusiness,
which has included working on a
cattle station in the Northern Territory
and working under top cutting horse
trainer Corey Holden.
She says she is currently looking for her
“next opportunity in the agricultural
industry,” but aims to make the most of
her new opportunity with the Classic
Ladies Foundation.
“I’ve been meeting as many new
people as I can, and making sure all
our sponsors are recognised while
undertaking presentations at major
events around Australia, trying to best
represent the foundation and promote
campdrafting.”
Alice will be showing off her skills
at the Bacchus Marsh Campdraft
competition from 22-24 March at the
Bacchus Marsh Racecourse Reserve.
To follow Alice’s adventures, you can
find her Facebook Page called ‘Al’s
Classic Ladies Foundation Young
Ambassador Quest’, or on Instagram @
alicefitzzz.
Ballan Tennis Club has received a grant to help encourage
young people in the community to pick up a racket.
The club received $3060 earlier this month from Moorabool
Shire Council as part of the Round 2 Community Grants
initiative.
Club President Anna Connally said the money will go to-
ward providing coaches for junior members of the team,
something the club has struggled with in the last few years.
“We’ve had a bit of trouble finding younger players, and we
haven’t had a junior coach for about three to four years,” said
Ms Connally.
The grant will also help subsidise lesson costs for younger
players, allowing juniors to take 30 minute small-group les-
sons at $5 per person.
On what the future of the club looks like, Ms Connally said
that she “hopes for more than one team of junior players” to
compete in the Buninyong and District Tennis Association,
and the new accessibility of coaching will “enable kids to
have a go at playing”.
Although the courts at the Ballan Recreational Reserve are
currently being upgraded, the club is currently situated at
Myrniong Recreational Reserve until the end of April.
The club is always looking for new junior and senior mem-
bers of any ability and can be found on Facebook under ‘Bal-
lan Tennis Club,’ or by contacting Anna at 0484 824 260.
Junior home and away pennant is played every Saturday
morning during the season.

Dear Editor,
Re - Ballan Streetscape
I have come to the conclusion that the ratepayers of Ballan are paying far too much
for rates. This morning I observed workers digging up the tiling area where the chess
set is in front of the Mechanics Hall. It is not many years since this was installed and
the rose garden in front planted. The concrete footpaths which were in good order
and condition are being dug up and inferior asphalt put in its place.
My complaint to Council during February resulted in the advice that extensive
community consultation had taken place. Why were the community members
consulted unable to realise the ruination of our main street, the huge waste of money,
the loss of amenity, the loss of roses? I have had many people stop me to say that
they agree with me entirely so why can’t they also complain to council. Our town
has lost its attractive country town charm, and its warmth to be replaced by bland
unattractive grey asphalt, grey tiles and unattractive green weeds.
I also pointed out this money could have been better spent on roads and footpaths
in other parts of the town, and was advised that minor maintenance in our street
will be carried out in coming months, in spite of the large amount of traffic it carries
during the day.
Council also states that these works represent a significant improvement in the
streetscape and long-term benefits for the town. I would sincerely like to know what
is the improvement, and also what long term benefits can we expect? I personally try
to avoid walking in the main street now that it means walking on asphalt.

Put your story in writing

By Meg Kennedy

Are you a primary or high school student itching to share your story with the world?
Entries for the 2019 Moorabool Young Writers’ Awards will open later this month.
The awards, now in their second-year of running, aim to promote a love of reading and writing, as
well as recognising the finest young writers in the district.
Jem Tyley-Miller of Moorabool Writers Craft says that following the success of last year’s awards,
Moorabool Shire Libraries and Moorabool Writers Craft group will continue “strengthening our
relationships with the local schools, which means more young winters entering and getting their
stories out into the world.”
“This year we will be giving schools the opportunity to host a writer’s workshop with judge,
Allyse Near, who will offer practical insights into what makes a story ‘sing’,” says Ms Tyley-Miller.
“It is our aim to have this workshop travel to different schools each year, starting this month at
Bacchus Marsh PS.”
Author and Bacchus Marsh local Allyse Near’s debut novel, the young adult gothic fantasy
Fairytales for Wilde Girls, was the winner Best Horror and Best Young Adult Novel at the Aurealis
Awards, and Honour Book of the Year at the CBCA Awards.
As for the importance of the award, Ms Tyley-Miller says that “stories are often how we make
sense of our world…by providing this opportunity for young people we are giving space for these
unique voices to develop, as well as promoting a love of storytelling and by extension, reading.”
Stories will be judged in three categories and are open to all those who meet the age requirements,
and who work, live, or study in Moorabool Shire.
Both a winner and a runner-up will be awarded for each category.
For advice on what makes a great story, Ms Tyley-Miller says, “great stories take time.”
“Edit, edit and edit again. Put your story away for a week and then see what else it needs. Last
year’s winners definitely went that extra mile,” she says.
“Who knows, we may unearth the next Peter Carey, Frank Hardy or Wayne Marshall.”
The Moorabool Young Writers Award will be open from March 18th to April 21st, 2019.
Submissions will be accepted via email at info@moorabool.vic.gov.au or hand delivery to the
Lerderderg Library in Bacchus Marsh or Ballan Library.
Entries must be typed and will be judged blind, so no names on work, but entry forms must be
attached
Each child may enter one story and entry is free.
Winners will be announced on June 1st at an afternoon tea, held in conjunction with the Peter
Carey Short Story Award.
All winning stories will be displayed in the Lerderderg Library in Bacchus Marsh.

Police Rounds
A Hopetoun Park man was one of six people
arrested last month, following early-morning
raids on an alleged drug and firearms
trafficking ring in Melbourne’s north-west.
The raid took place in the early hours of the
morning of Wednesday, 27 February across
various Melbourne suburbs, including a
Hopetoun Park address.
Throughout the investigation a total
of 11 firearms were seized, along with
ammunition, as well as 1.7kg of the drug ice.
Investigators also seized four imitation
firearms, a motorcycle, a car and cash that
are all suspected of being the proceeds of
crime.
Six men, including a 42-year-old Hopetoun
Park man were arrested and charged with
multiple offences, including trafficking
firearms, trafficking a large commercial
quantity of methylamphetamine and theft of
motor vehicle.
The Hopetoun Park man is due to appear
at the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’ Court on
Friday, 10 May.
•••
Ballarat and Moorabool police have arrested
15 people as part of Operation Reorder,
targeting high-volume crime.
Moorabool and Ballarat’s general duties
officers were supported by the Divisional
Response Unit and detectives from several
crime specialist units during the four-day
operation, which ran between Thursday, 28
February and Sunday, 3 March.
Officers executed several warrants,
conducted bail compliance checks and ran
covert patrols at crime hotspots in order to
detect and disrupt crimes such as burglaries,
drug trafficking and robberies.
15 arrests were made over the four days
for offences including home invasion,
aggravated burglary, drug trafficking,
criminal damage, evading police, thefts
of and from motor cars and other traffic
matters.
A stolen vehicle containing stolen property
was also recovered along with a quantity of
methylamphetamine.
Charges were laid against 15 people.
All offenders were remanded and appeared
at Ballarat and Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’
Courts on Tuesday, 5 March.
•••
Ballan Police have attended several fires
including:
• Myrniong Fire
• Hepburn Fire
As a reminder, the Fire Danger Season is
still in effect.
A zero-tolerance policy by Ballan Police
has resulted in a number of residents being
charged with the offence of lighting fires in
the open. Typically, this has resulted in a
fine at court.
Ballan Police have also attended a number
of collisions. On each occasion, driver
behaviours were a major contributing
circumstance.
• On 03/03/2019, Ballan Police issued an
unroadworthy notice to a fully laden cattle
truck after its brakes failed coming down
Trentham-Greendale Road in the vicinity of
the Greendale Pub.
• On Wednesday 6 March, Ballan Police
attended a collision between two vehicles
at the intersection of Old Western Highway
and Brougham Street, Gordon. Both drivers
were conveyed to Ballarat Base Hospital
with injuries. As a result of the collision, one
vehicle was knocked on its side by the impact
with the driver being extricated through the
passenger side window. Both drivers are in
a satisfactory condition with minor injuries.
• On Thursday 7 March, Ballan Police
attended a collision between a motorcycle
and a station-wagon at the intersection of
Hastings Road and Greendale-Myrniong
Road, Greendale. The rider of the motorcycle
was conveyed to the Ballarat Base Hospital
with superficial injuries after being ejected
from the motorcycle.
• Ballan Police have recently targeted the
Old Western Highway at Gordon, near the
Western Freeway itself. Disappointingly, a
number of drivers – most not local to the area
- have received infringements for speeding
offences. The stepped-up traffic campaign
is in response to a number of serious fatal
collisions in February.

sets such as shares can also
be negatively geared.
The Federal Opposition
has pledged to “limit nega-
tive gearing to new housing
from a yet-to-be determined
date after the next election”
which, it states, will “see a
boost in new housing”.
The Property Council sur-
vey of current and potential
investors revealed that 33
per cent of potential inves-
tors would probably or
definitely buy a newly-built
investment property in the
next five years under the
existing tax arrangements
but the number dropped to
24 per cent under proposed
changes.
Meanwhile, 46 per cent of
current investors said they
would need to increase the
rent charged if the changes
are implemented.
With vacancy rates across
Regional Victoria at record
lows over recent months,
this is cause for concern. The
rate for Regional Victoria is
1.2 per cent with some areas
even lower including Bal-
larat at 0.7 per cent and Ben-
digo at 1.0 per cent. A rate of
3.0 per cent is required for a
healthy rental market.
The REIV believes that now
is not the time to alter nega-
tive gearing arrangements,
which would put further
pressure the property indus-
try, stymy investment and
drive up rents.

Lions stumble in
season ender
Darley Cricket Club
By Todd Whelan

BCA First Grade

Playing coach Mike Alexander
could not hide his disappointment
following the LIons two wicket
loss to Wendouree at the weekend.
“We had a terrible day,” Alexander said.
“We really should’ve defended 300.
“We felt as though we gifted them too many easy runs
through our lack of effort and below par attitude.”
Alexander was very confident his boys could end the season
on a high after a Danza Hyatt inspired ton set up their highest
score for the season, but even that wasn’t enough.
Top order Bulls batsman Scott Wakefield keeps a straight bat on his way to 57. Photo - submitted

Bulls charge to finals

The Lions remained winless for the season batting first.
Credit must go to Wendouree for their brave run chase, C.
Roscholler was dominant at the top with a brilliant 151.
Opening bowler for Darley Ben Longhurst (5/65) was clearly
the pick of the Lions bowlers, his contribution was the
exception and not missed by Alexander.
“Benny bowled really well in both spells to cap off another
great season with the ball,” he said.
The coach was left to ponder over a season that could have
been.
“We missed (finals) by a bit in the end, but I can’t help feeling
that we could have gone close if we made it,” Alexander said.
“On reflection, it was the 50 over format that was our achilles
heel all season, losing seven of those games!”
While it’s season over for the Lions First XI, the club has
two live chances remaining after the Seconds and One-Day
B-Grade teams made finals.
According to Alexander, the club is in a great position both
on and off the field.
“It could all happen for us very quickly in the future,” he
said.
“We’ve excellent leadership, positive numbers and some real
talent in our junior age groups.
“Eighteen-year old Joel Cadman is a prime example who
really stood up for in the Firsts, especially early when we
were performing poorly as a group.
“You couldn’t fault the club’s culture either. I’m sure we
would have figured well in the club championships, if there
was one.”
