By Kate Taylor
The state government has bought land near Ballan
upon which it will build the replacement of the Fiskville
Training Academy.
The $31 million Victorian Emergency Management
Training Centre will be built near Ingliston Road, with
the figure including the land purchase.
Emergency Management Commissioner Craig
Lapsley, Acting CFA Chief Officer Alen Slijepcevic, and
Emergency Services Minister James Merlino visited the
site last week to make the announcement.
The land is 35Ha, and was bought for an undisclosed
amount the centre will be an environmentally safe
facility featuring hot fire and multi-purpose training
pads, as well as firefighting props and specialist
training capability.
It will provide trainees with real life simulations of the
emergency situations they may face on the front-line.
Member for Buninyong Geoff Howard said that
construction is set to begin early next year, with the
consultation and design phase set to begin immediately.
Not only is this great news for the CFA volunteers
and career firefighters it will provide a huge boost for
the Ballan region, Mr Howard said.
The $31 million facility will provide direct jobs
during and after construction as well as providing
opportunities for local businesses to grow as CFA and
other emergency service crews come to train at the
site.
Council CEO Rob Croxford told the Moorabool News
that regular planning approvals would still have to be
sought for the project.
We will work with the CFA through its design and
planning process. Permits will be sought as required,
Mr Croxford said.
Its very early stages but we are very pleased with the
announcement. Council advocated for this site, which
will keep a CFA presence in Ballan and create local jobs
for the community.
Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell welcomed the
investment in the region.
And he added a suggestion for the use of the old
Fiskville site, once it is cleaned up.

adorns the signal box, adding a welcome splash of colour.

Society disappointed
Disappointment is the signal being expressed by
Bacchus Marsh Historical Society after news of a
pending demolition of the signal box at Bacchus Marsh
train station.
John Couper is on the Executive Committee of the society
and said members would be very disappointed to see the
removal of the signal box from the station complex.
Although not classified the signal box goes hand in hand
with the station.
It enhances the general character of the area, and
complements the adjoining Maddingley Park, Mr Couper
said.

Neglect leads to demolition

By Jessica Howard
Bacchus Marsh residents
will soon say goodbye to the
towns century-old signal
box.
The traditional box, located
at the Bacchus Marsh train
station, dates back to 1890
and has been deemed
unsound by a public
transport engineer.
V/Line spokesperson Ebony
Jordan said the engineer
report was completed last
year, with a follow up report
conducted a couple of weeks
ago.
Both reports deemed
the signal box structurally
unsound and recommended
it be removed, she said.
The engineers report state
white ants as the main cause
of damage to the box. We
have been working closely
with the Moorabool Shire
about the report findings
and are now in the process of
completing a council permit
for its removal.
Ms Jordan said Heritage
Victoria had also been
contacted in regards to the
removal plans.
The signal box is not
heritage listed, but there is
a council overlay across the
site, which is why we have
been working closely with
Moorabool Shire as part of
the process.
V/Line recognises the
importance of the signal box
to the community, but safety
is our number one priority
and we will continue to
monitor the building and
site. We are also working
with VicTrack and Telecom
around the removal of the
signal box equipment and
where possible, will look to
salvage parts of the signal
box, such as the points
levers.
The signal box is a two-
storey timber building that
operates with hard signals
on the train line. The main
line stopping at Bacchus
Marsh station was originally
between Melbourne and
Adelaide.
Ms Jordan said V/Line
would inform the Bacchus
Marsh community of its
plans over the next few
months, with the removal
scheduled for later this year.
use in Victoria, and in particular Bacchus Marsh. The
modernisation of the system, is seeing refurbishment
of once iconic stations, together with the removal of
redundant infrastructure, and as such is bringing about
the demise of that rail travel charm.
Mr Couper said the buildings are representative of
Government/Public Works designed and built structures
of the time and well built by quality trades people.
The signal box and adjoining turntable indicates the role
the Bacchus Marsh complex played in the overall rail
system.
The signal box is not unique throughout Victoria with Mr
Couper saying the proposed demolition indicates that the
intention is to remove the infrastructure no longer required
to run the system.
Do we wait until the last one is left standing to voice our
opposition?
Members of the society will be discussing ways we may
be able to assist to enable the retention of the signal box.
We will be certainly seeking the advice and opinions
of the many train enthusiasts in the area, Mr Couper
concluded.

New depot to cost millions

By Kate Taylor
It was a line item in councils draft budget
but more than $1.5 million for a new depot is
set to turn into a lot more.
The proposed draft budget, currently out
for public consultation, included $1.5 million
in the capital works budget for a new council
depot.
We are borrowing $1m for a depot what
are we actually borrowing, and what is it
actually for? asked Central Ward Councillor
Paul Tatchell at the May council meeting.
A council officer told the meeting that
design funding for the project had been
allocated in the previous budget
Weve only got a layout at this stage with
the design process, we will work out what
needs we have re operating, staff etc we
will try and limit the cost, it will be what we
budgeted versus what the cost is, the officer
told the meeting.
So we dont know what it is going to cost?
Cr Tatchell asked.
The officer replied that a long-term forecast
for the cost is $3 million, adding that the
figure is below what it could have been, and
that $4.5 million for a depot site is a very
loose figure.

Id like to see Australian
Motorsport go there, its big
enough, and if theyre going
to turn Sandown racetrack

theyre using it for, this place
is ideal for it, Cr Tatchell
said.
He noted that Ballan isnt
too far out of Melbourne.
People who go to racing
well, they normally drive.
Theres some great opportu-
nities there if people can get
over themselves, and $100
million invested into the
area would put a smile on
some peoples faces.
Ballan Fire Brigade Member
Ian Ireland also welcomed
the announcement.
Im pleased that we re-
tained the site in Ballan, it
gives an opportunity to have
another industry, he said.
But the area is still going to
be short 60-odd jobs, with
just two permanent posi-
tions set to be required at the
new centre.
As far as economic value to
the town, therell probably
be catering and that sort of
thing, it will be beneficial,
but because it wont be an
overnight place therell be
no accommodation therefore
its not going to create any
positions like the ones that
we lost.

And the former site of
Fiskville has not been
forgotten.
The other disappointing
part is, they keep pound-
ing on about the toxicity of
Fiskville but the inquiry
was all about documenta-
tion for testing up to the
mid-2000s, that was what
they made their decision on.
Since then there has been
cross-checked testing on
that property that have nev-
er been produced to let peo-
ple know how toxic it is - yet
this government continues
to tell people how toxic it is.
We would like to know
as a community why
arent they releasing that
documentation?
Fiskville is a locality, it ap-
pears in the postcode book,
and these people need to
know what the current situ-
ation is of Fiskville, because
they need to know the
truth.
unregistered vehicle
By Jessica Howard
A female fuel thief who
stole from a Ballan service
station was disqualified
from driving at the time, a
court has heard.
Julie Panico appeared in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrates
Court on Friday (May 12)
charged with theft, driving
while disqualified and driv-
ing an unregistered vehicle.
The court heard that the
47-year-old lost her license
for six-months following a
drink driving charge in May
last year.
Four-months after the dis-
qualification, on September
19, the accused entered the
east bound BP service station
in Ballan, where she filled
her unregistered ford sedan
with $38 worth of petrol be-
fore fleeing the premises.
Police prosecutor, Leading
Senior Constable Lisa Sch-
oemaker said CCTV footage
of the theft was obtained by
police.
She said the week that fol-
lowed saw the accused drive
the unregistered vehicle in
Ballan on two occasions.
The first occurred on Sep-
tember 22 and the second on
September 27, where the ac-
cused was arrested outside
the Ballan IGA supermarket.
The court heard that Panico
told police she was unaware
her license was disqualified
and had recently purchased
the ford sedan with the be-
lief that it was registered for
another six-months.
In reference to the theft, she
said she drove off without
thinking.
Panico told the court that
at the time of offending, she
was living in Mt Egerton
and was suffering from de-
pression caused by domestic
violence.
She said she had since
moved to another town and
was attempting to obtain
employment in traffic and
roadwork management.
I have spent the last three
months turning my life
around, she said.
Magistrate Mark Strapt-
mann said the offending
was very serious.
You have driven with a
disqualified license on two
occasions in just one week.
That, and the theft, both con-
stitute as serious offending,
he said.
If you come back before
the court, you will not only
lose your license and poten-
tial job opportunities, but
you could go to jail.
Panico was convicted and
fined $800, and was ordered
to a six-month commu-
nity corrections order with
80-hours of community
work.

Rating structure
remains
By Kate Taylor

A motion on council rates charges has passed but not

without discussion about farmers.
With the state government moving to make valuations
annual, instead of the current bi-annual arrangement,
councillors took the opportunity to debate lower rates for
farmers at the May 3 council meeting.
A motion to retain councils current rating structure was
recommended in a report tabled at the meeting.
Councillor Tatchell sparked debate by objecting to the
motion, with East Ward Councillor Jarrod Bingham adding
that he is from a long line of farmers, and West Ward
Councillor Tom Sullivan also agreeing that the categories

I have been consistent with my views on this, its difficult

All aboard the Lions Train
By Jessica Howard
Squeals of delight echoed
around town on Thursday
as the Bacchus Marsh Lions
Club train was put to use
for the first time in over
12-months.
The old train was created
in the mid-1970s and was
a major fundraiser for the
community club at school
and church fetes, and other
public events.
Bacchus Marsh Lion, Len
Murfitt said the original
train retired in April last
year.
It was quite old at that
point, so we decided that
it would no longer be put
to use, but people said that
that wasnt good enough.
We decided to rebuild, but
we needed help and we were
lucky enough to get a lot of
really generous donations.
When people heard that we
were doing it up, they were
really interested in helping
out as they remember riding
the train at some point in
their life.
Bacchus Marsh Lion,
Ralph Fletcher said the
train was refurbished from
the ground up, with a new
motor and 20-seater trailer.
Its been a lot of work. The
whole thing has been re-
worked and re-wired so it
is up to occupational health
and safety standards, he
said.
Unlike the old train, the
carriages are enclosed with
hinged doors to secure the
passengers. All members
of the club who operate
the train have to undergo
occupational health and
safety practices . So it
is a far cry from the good
old days of just getting in,
starting and away we go.
Mr Fletcher said the
new train was based on a
1954 VW Beetle that was
converted to the original
Lions train back in 1975.
He said the rebuild cost was
in the vicinity of $17,500.
Terry [Sytema] has been
the real driving force
behind getting up and
running again and I think a
lot of children will get quite
a bit of enjoyment out of it.
Donations and a Moorabool
Shire Council grant were
contributors to the cost of
the rebuild.
to swallow under a fair go rate system. If we dont do
something, there will be a point in time where the back will
be broken, Cr Tatchell told the meeting.
East Ward Councillor John Keogh also argued his point.
If we take it from one area we have to replace it from
somewhere else, if we lower the farm rate, we have to lift up
the residential rate, Cr Keogh said.
Debate continued, with councillors arguing over higher
rates for extractive industry, wind farms, and supporting
potato farmers who supply McCains, which has recently cut
production.
At the vote on the motion, Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat
Toohey called a division.
Voting in favour of the motion were councillors Jarrod
Bingham and John Keogh.
Voting against the motion were councillors Pat Toohey, Tom
Sullivan, and Paul Tatchell.
Mayor David Edwards voted in favour, passing the motion.
Cr. Tonia Dudzik was an apology and not present at the
meeting.

Letters to the Editor

Email: news@themooraboolnews.com.au
Dear Editor,
Labor has finally an-
nounced they have secured
the land for a new CFA train-
ing facility in Ballan, some
782 days after the closure of
the CFA Fiskville facility.
In having taken over two
years to secure this site,
enormous hardship has
fallen on the community of
Ballan. The loss of 70 jobs
directly from Fiskville had
had a significant economic
impact upon not just Bal-
lan, but also the broader
community.
After taking over two years
to find this site, it will be a
further three years until the
facility is operational. This
means our CFA volunteers
will have been without a
facility at which to train for
five years. At a time when
the Andrews Labor Gov-
ernment and the UFU is at-
tacking volunteers to grab
control of the CFA, this has
been another blow to our
dedicated volunteer fire-
fighting force.
Having finally made this
announcement, Labor has
also revealed that the new
facility will have nowhere
near the capacity that
Fiskville facility had.
There will be no accom-
modation on the new site,
meaning long days, and
many hours behind the
wheel for the many volun-
teers from all across the state
who will train at the facility.
The new facility also wont
be the base for recruit fire-
fighter training.
The failure of the Andrews
government to secure this
land in a timely manner and
build a facility of the scale
of Fiskville to train our CFA
volunteers is just another ex-
ample of how metro-centric
and out of touch with re-
gional Victoria this govern-
ment is.
Joshua Morris MP
Member Western Victoria
Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to
the letters in your paper last
week (MN 16 May) from MPs
Joshua Morris and Simon
Ramsay. Unfortunately the
states fire services have be-
trial infrastructure. These
come a political points scor-
ing exercise with statements
made without any basis in
fact. These politicians have
been supported by certain
sections of the media stir-
ring up fear within the com-
munity, including our valu-
able volunteer firefighters.
I refer to the statements
made by both Mr Morris and
Mr Ramsay which intimated
that any restructuring of the
fire service would lead to
the devaluing and lessening
of CFA volunteer numbers
which in turn will lead to a
threat to community safety
putting life and property at
risk. This has been a com-
mon theme of politicians

Vale Roy Huggins
Close on 92-years of living
certainly held many life ex-
periences for Roy Huggins.
He was acknowledged and
remembered as a beacon for
his family; his labours, his
achievements and his deeds.
A man with many qualities
and abilities, a community
minded man with a dry
sense of humour, who en-
joyed a chat. Essentially a
quiet man; but a man with a
very strong work ethic.
Also on occasion he was
known as a grumpy and
grumbling grandpa.
Roy was the loved son of
farmers George and Beatrice
Huggins and born in Wau-
bra on 8/11/1925, the third of
six children, May, Beatrice,
then Roy, Jean, Olive and
George.
From Waubra his educa-
tion continued at Warren-
heip then to Elliminyt, near
Colac. The usual education
in those days meant he left
school at 14-years old and
went on to work as a farm
labourer. Even at 14-years
young, Roy would have been
expected to do a mans job, a
full days work.
He played a bit of football
but bike riding was his go.
He did some road racing but
most of his time was taken
up with work. Early starts
to milk the cows, digging
spuds, fence maintenance
and hay carting. He would
end the day milking the
cows again at night.
His life experienced many
changing significant times.
He was only a little boy of
four when the Great De-
pression began, then leav-
ing school as WWII began
in 1939. Roy was classed as
essential services and did
not go to war because he was
working on the farm pro-
ducing food.
A young teacher came to
Elliminyt, she was teaching
8 Nov 1925 10 May 2017
Roys younger siblings. June
would become his wife after
they met at dances around
the district.
They married April 8, 1950
and not long after moved to
the city and lived in Ascot
Vale. June was teaching and
Roy was accepted into the
Metropolitan Fire Brigade,
a career that would span
34-years.
They had four children,
Richard came along in 1954,
Christopher in 1956 and the
twins, Susan and Neville in
1958. They moved to Surrey
Hills in 1958 with Roy doing
long shifts to provide for his
family but also took on other
jobs, so he could provide
the very best for his family.
When in Ascot Vale he deliv-
ered ice; worked at the trots
when at the Showgrounds;
he used to boast he had six
jobs, but was on strike with
something he liked to brag
four of them!
Roy took on any work, any-
where such is that work
ethic, he did the green gro-
cers deliveries and worked
as a builders labourer for
two builders.
At home he was a keen
gardener, or more a keen
vegetable gardner and grew
great produce. But not such
a green thumb with trees, he
was known to prune them
back to the roots!
St Leonards became the
holiday destination every
year after they purchased a
block and built a house.
Now Roy, he couldnt fish,
he couldnt swim so he
mostly painted and mowed
the lawns at St Leonards,
and did a bit of grumbling
along with that.
The MFB he made his ca-
reer and went through the
ranks to Station Officer II, in
his time he worked at many
different stations. Roy left
school at 14 but went to eve-
ry university in Melbourne,
about every University
in Melbourne to check the
hydrants!
Retirement in 1984 led
him to Gordon, where he
and June purchased a de-
licensed hotel, a big place
with a room for everything.
Roy kept busy. He restored
furniture, did some French
polishing, and he became
involved in the Gordon cem-
etery, cleaning up and was
always there. He also liked
to do historical research of
the local area and helped
others find their ancestors.
He also got involved in the
Moorabool Reservoir, did
the gardening and restored
the grounds so people could
go and enjoy picnics. In
fact Roy celebrated his 90th
birthday there. He went on
and enjoyed the Bungaree
Historical society, and got
very involved with the Bal-
lan Hospital. He worked in
the Op shop and served on
the Hospital Auxiliary.
Four years ago Roy and June
moved to Ballan as they had
to adapt to life and their age.
Gordon was too much for
them and both their health
was in decline.
They both cared for each
other in Ballan, they were
happy there and the com-
munity welcomed them.
Only two months ago June
needed more care and had
to move into the hospital for
that care. Roy had a 34year
career with the MFB, but he
certainly had a longer mar-
riage with June, a shared
life for 67 years. Roy would
visit his dear wife every
day. Together they did and
shared so much. There were
six grand children and
Roy loved them all. Roy
was always interested in
their activities, and in their
achievements.
With family by his side on
Wednesday 10 May 2017,
Roy Huggins passed away.
A good life well lived.
(By Helen Tatchell)
The Moorabool News 23 May, 2017 Page 11
Grandson Otis remembers
Roy is my middle name, - grandpa had a bit of a reputation
as being a bit of a grump and a grumbler, behind that
though he was firm but fair, kind man, very accepting, a
very progressive thinker especially someone from that age
and time.
Earliest memories with grandpa were at Surrey Hills and
later at Gordon for school holidays and big family gathering
at Christmas.
I have a lot of good memories of Gordon. Grandpa would
take us to pick blackberries, dig up bottles in the veggie
patch, took us on lots of walks looking at old things and
historical tour. He loved his history and loved his pudding.
He loved his pets, especially his old dog Toby. No one
could really touch Toby except for grandpa. Something I
have really carried on in me from grandpa, is that he loved
to go on these drives, sometimes just a drive or historical
group tour. He had old CFA maps and just went looking for
things, we drove and drove.
On the last day I saw grandpa that was Good Friday, we
went to see grandma who was sick in hospital. I picked
up grandpa to take him on one of those drives. We drove
to Gordon and looked at the business that is now in their
old house, Gordon Bleu caf, then over the highway down
Moorabool West road back to his place. In the first instance
he wanted KFC for lunch on the way home, but when we
got to the Gordon cafe he said Blow KFC, lets just go and
eat there, its open. We ordered, and I had a proper lunch
and grandpa ordered a sticky date pudding, coffee with
two sugars, and a glass of coke! He was like a celebrity
there, everyone wanted to chat. On our return on one of
the back roads we saw something on the road, looked like
a big dog, so I slowed down and it was a gold colour and
black, actually thought I had seen a Tasmanian tiger on the
road, then it was up and off; and it was an enormous wedge
tailed eagle, now this ties in with grandma and grandpa
who were accepted as Honourary Indigenous Elders, due
to their interest and research in indigenous culture and
history in the area. Grandpa said thats Bunjil and I said
what is Bunjil? Grandpa said Bunjil is the eagle, it is like
a spirit. It really was a majestic sight, it just loped along
beside the car. I was kind of spellbound by it.
Once we dropped grandpa off I googled it this Bunjil, and
it said an ancestral spirit just like grandpa said. At the time
we thought grandma was knocking on heavens door and
maybe the eagle was for her, and I dont think anyone is
that spiritual but it kind of meant to us, Bunjil was there
for grandpa.
Roy and his historical research
Dedicated. That is how Denis Spielvogel from the Bungaree
Historical Society described Roy Huggins.
He would just see something that needed to be done and
he would get on with it.
Roy was dedicated to his research too. Every Monday,
for 30 years, he would go in to the Public Records Office
in Ballarat and he wrote down anything to do with the
district.
Just before he died the other day, he gave us books, and
books of his ledgers that he had been keeping out of the
Gordon Advertiser which was a newspaper in those days,
the 1890s, anything to do with the district he would write
it out in long hand.
The Moorabool Reservoir was another of Roys favourite
places.
When it looked like it was going to be redeveloped,
Roy was in there; Roy was right amongst it; Roy was the
one who led the charge to see that it was restored, Mr
Spielvogel said.
He used to come out every Tuesday with me, and he must
have been well into his 80s, and eventually he couldnt do it
anymore, and he just went out there and did what needed
to be done.
Roy just did everything the best he could and the best
he could at the time. Like all the work he did with the
newspapers, he could have kept going until he was 150!
To record information on a person or a place Roy would
write it all down on a library card, and not just one.
The library cards, there are close to 100,000, all written by
hand, where he has written the details of the court records,
marriage records, the school records, the hotel records,
he has done them all on library cards. That is first hand
information. They are so useful to us in doing research,
Mr Spielvogel said.
All those years of recording information by hand and the
trips to Ballarat, has Roy Huggins left a legacy?
He definitely left a legacy. Now it is up to us to treasure it,
and make sure it gets used.

Back to their
core business
By Kate Taylor
Apple FM has secured a sweet deal over
a new rental space at the Darley Civic and
Community Hub.
It was decided at the May 3 council meeting
to rent the space to the community radio
station at a rent discount of 80 per cent.
But the decision wasnt made without some
for its further considerations and we are very
happy with its decision. We look forward
to a long and happy relationship with the
Council, Mr Mansell said.
He said that the committee has made an in-
principle decision to accept the offer but a
few hurdles need to be overcome first.
We need to have satisfactory technical
testing between the site and our transmitter.

FM had originally applied for a peppercorn
rent agreement, which had been rejected by
councillors who eventually decided upon
the discounted rate.

Cheers to the volunteers

Mothers Day and Volunteers Week fell in the
same week, so it was fitting for the volunteers
from the Ballan Hospital Auxiliary to put on
a Mothers Day High Tea.
The best sponges this side of the river had
open mouths not only gasping at the display,
but eating a piece too.
Delicate sandwiches and sweets with lots of
chatter filled the Mechanics Hall.
President of the Auxiliary Jackie Wetzler
said the money raised would go towards an
ice machine and floor mats at the hospital.
Moorabool Mayor David Edwards was
invited and said these events are very
special.
It never ceases to amaze me how our
volunteers just get in and get on with the job.
Moorabool is fortunate to have a large
contingent of volunteers across the entire
shire; without them community events and
gatherings such as this, would not occur.
Hats off to the volunteers, he said, raising
a Royal Doulton teacup to honour the
occasion.

football.

Football: Seniors
On a magnificent newly surfaced oval in per-
fect conditions, the Devils had an easy win
over a youthful and injury depleted Burras
side. With Brian Graham treating the small
crowd to an amazing display of footy, gath-
ering his most possessions for the season so
far, Darley were clear winners all over the
ground. Some injury worries resulted from
some heavy clashes with Roy and Herring
coming off with suspected hip-flexor injuries
and Matt Inglis off to hospital with a dislo-
cated shoulder.

Burras blitz Blues

Ballan FNC
Round 6 v Hepburn
Football
In ideal conditions for foot-
ball, the Blues ventured to
Hepburn and knew they
were in for a tough encoun-
ter. The Seniors opened well
and went kick for kick to con-
test, but the Burras were cer-
tainly a slick outfit at home.
The Blues were certainly in
with a look in the first half
of a fast moving game. Sam
Sher was at their best and
our Wilkinson in the back-
line did an awesome job
given the pressure he was
under. After the break the
Blues opened with a goal but
then the flood gates opened
and Hepburn booted eight
unanswered goals and the
speed and team skills re-
ally shone through . Sammy
Hitchings as ever relished
the tempo of the game and
never gave up. The Blues can
regroup for the home match
against Waubra next week.
Final Score - Ballan 4 7
31 lost Hepburn 21 14 140
Best - J. Wilkinson, S. Hitch-
ings, J. Wilkie, L. Souter, A.
Mullane, S. Sher.
The Reserves took on the
ladder leaders but they
opened with a real sense of
urgency and at the first break
they had a two goal lead.
They went kick for kick with
their opponents in the next
two quarters with Oliver
Powell instrumental in the
ruck and gave the Blues the
edge. Watts roved superbly
along with David OHanlon.
Billy Smith suffered a neck
strainn but bound to get bet-
ter for next weeks encounter.
When Powell was injured in
the opening minutes of the
final quarter the Blues lost
all their momentum and
the Burras booted six unan-
swered goals and the Blues
were left in their wake. Spe-
cial mention to Ryan Bongart
and Luke Hodge who played
two intense games, coming
up from the Under 18s.
Final Score - Ballan 8 10 58
lost Hepburn 13 6 84
Best - D. Trickey, R. Watts,
T. McGregor, J. Layley, M.
Smith-Bye, R. Bongart.
The Under 18s plummeted
to earth with their first loss
of the year. Hepburn were at
their best right from the start
and the Blues defence was
under relentless pressure.
Connor McLeod did a great
job given the sustained pres-
sure he was under, but the
Hepburn squad was just too
mobile and out ran the Blues.
On their home ground the
Burras were dominant and
had winners on every line.
Hayden Thompson did have
his fair share of the ball and
Lachlan Conlan was thrown
into the backline to stem the
pressure.
Final Score - Ballan 3 7 25
lost Hepburn 22 11 143
Best - C Brown, C McLeod,
H Thompson, L Conlan, S
Wilkinson, L Hodge.
The Under 12s were on fire
in the first quarter and boot-
ed three goals to set up an
unassailable lead. The young
Blues maintained their com-
posure as their opponents
came at them later in the
match with great backline
pressure. The boys continue
to grow in confidence and
skills and with five straight
wins are certainly getting
good at singing the club
song. The experienced play-
ers such as Ben Conroy
and Cody Gates were able
to open the game up and
gave the Blues the edge they
needed. They have every
chance of continuing that
string of wins when they
take on Waubra next week.
Final Score - Ballan. 3 0 18
def Hepburn. 2 1 13
Best - H Brown, B Rafa, B
Conroy, C Gates, C Rapa, C
Mathieson.
Netball
The A Grade team came
together this week ready
to play for each other and
ready to get a win on the
board. A strong start al-
lowed Ballan to take control
early in the game and had
them lead from the first
to the final whistle. Jayme
Nielsen and Caitlyn McPhee
were dominant in the goal
ring providing two strong
targets in the attack end. Na-
relle Perkins played with de-
termination and courage as
she continues to each week.
Once again the defence end
worked tirelessly and were
rewarded with numerous
deflections and intercepts.
Jess Snaith had another con-
sistent match and was well
supported by Jane Cairns
and Samantha Plester. Me-
gan Mullane continues to
stand tall in the WD position
and she used her speed to
her advantage this round.
Final score - Ballan 55 def
Hepburn 48
The B Grade girls had a
great start to this match
with many defensive de-
flections and a more settled
play. Hepburn increased
its physical intensity on the
