Potential for putrid

smells from mine By Helen Tatchell

Part of the Maddingley Brown Coal rubbish site. Photo – Helen Tatchell
A notice of an application to amend a planning permit has been lodged with council, and
residents in the area are not happy.
Maddingley Brown Coal Pty Ltd (MBC) has submitted the application to ‘Amend the
Wording’ of Condition 11 and 21 on their permit, to enable putrescible waste to be accepted
at the site.
Currently the permit allows for Use and Development of the Land for a Landfill, Production
of Soil and Soil Products (including Composting) and Works Associated with those Uses;
Materials and Recycling (Metals and Construction and Demolition Waste) at 11 Tilleys Road
in Maddingley.
At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 6 February, resident Mr Gerard Miller asked
councillors to consider a greater distance than the 500-metre radius distribution of notices to
residents, which he believes is “inadequate.”
“There are neighbours who live closer than me, and they don’t have a notice. Can the
notices be sent to at least a one-kilometre radius, or even two-kilometres, as this proposed
amendment application will have a great effect on everyone in the area.
“The Grammar school didn’t even know about it, and they are on the door step of the mine,”
Mr Miller said.
Council officers agreed to an extended mail out distance to one-kilometre.
Another resident Bob Levy took to social media to inform residents of the proposed
amendment and possible impact on the saleability of homes and land.
“The changes concern a larger area than the mail out reached.
“I feel very confident in saying there will be a number of days each year where a greater than
2.5km distance will be impacted by odours and dust,” Mr Levy said.
However, Hemla Reddy - on behalf of MBC - said in a letter (26 Oct 2018) to a Council officer
that the amendment application submitted to Council requires no further engineering for the
acceptance of municipal/putrescible waste.
“The EPA-approved design for Cell 6, (EPA approval dated 22 March 2018), currently
under construction, achieves the criteria of a Landfill BPEM (Best Practice Environmental
Management Publication 788.3) Type 2 Landfill containment system, allowed to accept
municipal/putrescible waste,” the letter read.
Objections to the application were due to expire on Tuesday 19 February, but due to the extra
mail out advising further landowners of the application, the expiry date for objections will
now be Tuesday 5 March 2019.
Council officers will then prepare a report on the amendment application with a
recommendation to grant or refuse the amendment at a future council meeting.
Member for Melton Stephen McGhie told the Moorabool News he is aware of the application
to amend the planning permit.

Charity bins become eyesore

By Helen Tatchell

All too often this photo depicts the site that greets visitors
from the southern entrance to Bacchus Marsh.
The three Enviro Recycling bins are situated on Grant
street directly outside Maddingley Park oval and opposite
the Bacchus Marsh College.
Has it become a dumping ground or is it genuinely a
drop off point for useable goods?
John from Enviro Recycling returned a call to the
Moorabool News and said January was a terrible month.
“Every year in January we have this problem. We used to
empty the bins once a week, but now with new measures
in place we will be trying to manage the emptying of
the bins twice a week on our run from Melbourne to
Ballarat,” he said
Monday and Friday are the scheduled days for collection.
“We may also be updating these old looking bins, as
they have a fair bit of graffiti on them, with new ones,”
John said.
Inside the bins John said is “usually beautiful stuff in the
bags for charities.”
“Ninety per cent of items are usable to be recycled. Some
people are very good but unfortunately a few dump
broken items, and yes it does not look nice for the area,”
he said.
A Vicroads spokesperson told the Moorabool News their
responsibilities only extend from kerb-to-kerb.
“This is located in an urban area therefore the land these
bins are located on is the responsibility of Moorabool
Shire Council,” the spokesperson said.
Council responded with General Manager Growth and
Development Satwinder Sandhu saying Council liaises
with charity bin providers to ensure sites around their
bins are kept clean and clear of items.
“We have recently contacted the providers of the bins in
Grant St, Bacchus Marsh, regarding cleaning up around
the bins.”
Mr Sandhu said they implore community members who
want to drop goods off at these bins not to leave a mess.
“If an item is too big to put in a bin, please go into an op
shop to donate or, if it’s not suitable to donate, take it to a
transfer station. Please do not create or add to any mess
around charity bins.”
**At the time of going to print the three bins had been emptied,
although rubbish was already piling up around the outside,
ready for another collection. Charity bins overflow in Grant street. Photo – Helen Tatchell

Healthy new
build for Marsh
By Meg Kennedy
A bigger and better ambulance
hub that will allow Bacchus Marsh
paramedics the space they need to
respond to emergencies has officially
begun construction.
Minister for Ambulance Services
Jenny Mikakos joined Member for
Melton Steve McGhie last Thursday, 14
February to turn the first sod of the new
$3 million Bacchus Marsh ambulance
branch, on the corner of Gisborne Road
and Leila Court.
The current branch, located on Main
St, was built in the 1960s and is too
narrow for redevelopment.
A new hub for Bacchus Marsh was
announced in July 2016 as part of the
2016/17 Victorian Budget.
The new site - a former residential
block - will feature a five-bay garage,
four rest and recline rooms, training
facilities, a fully equipped kitchen
and improved security and staff car
parking.
It will be home to more than 40
paramedics providing 24-hour
coverage, with plans for the ambulance
service to grow in the future.
“We know how important it is for our
vulnerable members of the community
who are waiting for someone in that
moment of need to come to that rescue,
effectively to their aid,” Minister
Mikakos told paramedics at the site.
The State Government reported that an
average time for an ambulance to reach
the scene of a Code One emergency in
Moorabool has improved from 14.24
minutes to 12.14 minutes over the last
year.
“[For construction] we’re using
local firms as much as possible,
and re-investing in local jobs and
opportunities; and giving people that
opportunity to put back into their local
communities.”
Ambulance Victoria Paramedic Senior Minister for Health, Ambulance Services Jenny Mikakos and Member for Melton Stephen McGhie turn

booming population but for the
surrounding area.
“This development is based not just for
the township, but it’s based at the whole
area, particularly the Eastern half of the
Moorabool LGA,” said Mr Crossman.
“It’s not just a population boom in
Bacchus that we have to consider, it’s
the expansion of Myrniong, and it’s
the ongoing expansions in Melton, and
the expansions in Maddingley, and the
expansions in Balliang.”
Ambulance Victoria Group Manager
Huw Colechin said the hub’s location
which is “nice and close to the main
freeway,” will allow paramedics from
this branch who are “not only able to
support Bacchus Marsh, but quickly
get up to places like Ballan, back into
Werribee and out through to Gisborne.”
Construction for the hub is set to be
completed by September 2019. Minister Jenny Mikakos is shown the plans for the new site and complex.

Let there be light please

By Helen Tatchell

The Halletts Way southern extension officially opened with the Moorabool 4 Fun Run on
Sunday 13 August 2017, but it hasn’t been much fun for pedestrians and night road users ever
since.
The street lighting has not been switched on or connected with many users of the new
roadway complaining via social media pages.
In the last two weeks orange roadside bollards along with workmen have adjourned the
road, implying the power might finally be switched on. Unfortunately, the current roadworks
and lighting issue are not related.
Moorabool Council responded to questions from the Moorabool News in regard to the
works.
“The works currently being undertaken on site involves the installation of a watermain
to connect the new Underbank estate to reticulated water. A new roundabout will also
be constructed on Halletts Way commencing soon as part of Underbank estate,” General
Manager for Infrastructure Phil Jeffrey said.
“Council approached the developers to undertake these works at the same time as the
Halletts Way extension project in 2017, but the developers were not in a position to contribute
at the time,” he said.
In terms of lighting, Mr Jeffrey said the contractor (Winslow) is still required to rectify a
small number of electrical non-conformances.
“This work is being undertaken in the coming weeks and subject to Powercor acceptance,
will enable energisation of the lighting.”
The Halletts Way/O’Leary Way 1.4 kilometre southern extension is the largest infrastructure
project delivered by Moorabool Shire Council and provides a western link road for Bacchus
Marsh, and is modelled to carry 10,000-12,000 vehicles per day.

PREPARE
FOR GRASSFIRE
The reasons are Rural grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires, threatening lives
and property with little warning. If you are surrounded by paddocks, reduce
black and white your risk now by slashing grass, or turning bare earth to create fuel breaks.
On high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts,
is always the safest option.

Still strumming,
one year on
By Jane Gardner
They say, ‘be careful what you wish for’
and in the case of Gordon resident Fiona
Williams, there have never been truer words
spoken.
Fiona was sitting in the Gordon Pub one
night in early 2018 chatting with friends
about her desire to learn to play the ukulele,
when out of the blue, a man came into the
pub who Fiona says, “happened to have a
couple of ukuleles in the car.” In an instant,
Fiona got her lesson!
And so began not just Fiona’s introduction
to the wonderful world of the ukulele, but
(after a call out for interested members) the
Gordon Ukulele Club.
Thanks to Alan Kirkman, the man who first
helped Fiona in the pub that night (and who
coincidentally, turned out to be a teacher and
an accomplished musician) a small group
of interested locals began meeting once or
twice a month, to learn chords, strumming
patterns and all manner of songs from
Bad Moon Rising through to You Are My
Sunshine.
In the months since, the Gordon Ukulele
Club has grown to a sizable 30 or more
members ranging from complete beginners
to experienced players. There are primary
school students through to retirees. The club
has performed at local cafes, the aged care
facility in Ballan and more recently at the
Bungaree Historical Society on Australia
Day.
The Gordon Ukulele Club met at the

Gordon Hotel to share a delicious BBQ
lunch, followed by a few tunes to celebrate
their first birthday. Fiona and fellow-player
Tony Warby (who leads the group most
Wednesday nights) both said a few words
to mark the occasion and remind everyone
how far the club has come. As one or two
members joked on the day, it might be time
to learn the popular Paul Kelly song; From
Little Things, Big Things Grow.
The Gordon Ukulele Club meet at the Gordon
Hotel every Wednesday night from 7pm and the
1st Sunday of the month at 3pm. New members
are always welcome. For more information visit

Friends
protect and
enhance river
By Meg Kennedy
A local environmental group will be lending
a hand on ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ next
month, helping keep the Werribee river’s
catchment at Bacchus Marsh as healthy as
possible.
Friends of Werribee River through Bacchus
Marsh’s ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ will be held
on Sunday, 3 March, with activities including
scouring the river banks and surrounds for
rubbish collection and removal, and the use
of kayaks to reach floating rubbish such as
polystyrene.
FOWR organiser Marika Ley said it was
important for the group to contribute to a
nation-wide event in a local way.
“There has been an increased sense
of achievement and feeling of positive
community and nationwide spirit,” she said.
“Many hands make light work, and it
highlights what tremendous work people
can do when they band together. I think
we have all become advocates in leading by
example and not littering our environment.”
FOWR was established six years ago and
holds five planting days throughout the year
between April to August.
The 4-hour planting day includes planting
native plants throughout the area, as well
as hearing from experts on local plants and
wildlife.
“People stagger throughout the day…our
members range from five years old, to our
oldest, an elderly couple in their 90s,” said
Ms Ley.
“There’s the community spirit for
collectively coming together for the plants.”
The planting days have reaped
improvements for the river, which Ms Ley
said has “absolutely” seen progress since the
activities began.
“It’s become a thriving wildlife corridor,
with healthy banks and a healthy eco-
system,” said Ms Ley, noting that the river’s
high platypus numbers are a “really good
indicator” of a thriving environment.
FOWR’s ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ will be
held on Sunday 3 March from 9.30am to
12.30pm and will meet at Werribee Vale Rd,
Bacchus Marsh, near the toilets. Lunch will
be provided.
For more information of the Friends of
Werribee River Through Bacchus Marsh,
you can find the group on Facebook, at
the Bacchus Marsh information centre, or

Letters to the Editor
Email: news@themooraboolnews.com.au
Dear Editor,
In my letter to the editor (MN 22 Jan), I
stated “I am somewhat perplexed and dismayed
as to what is transpiring in Gordon” Well I am
now somewhat perplexed and dismayed as
to what Stephen Derrick is saying in his letter
to the editor (MN 5 Feb), he states that he is
concerned by the “unfounded public accusations
of deceit and misinformation”; I am not sure
if he is referring to his group’s deceit and
misinformation or what I stated in my letter
which was, “It would appear that the petition
and the meeting was based on a deceit, it was not
council’s intention to remove 20-plus trees and
as the Mayor tried to point out, at the meeting,
this advice was transmitted to a group member
by email on the 12 December 2018”. Now this
is a fact and from what I understand it was
not the only time it has been pointed out to
this group of people what council’s intention
was.
So where are the unfounded public
accusations of deceit and misinformation?
As for “it is disappointing when insults
and personal slurs are replacing constructive
debate, analysis and ideas”; My letter did not
contain any insults and personal slurs as
there were no persons named. I have not
yet seen any “constructive debate, analysis
and ideas” only criticism of council and
misinformation. As I pointed out in my
letter,  “It is great that people are interested
enough to raise the interest of our community and
provide a degree of probity. But there is a need of
transparency as to who they are and what their
agenda is; and are they acting in the interests
of the general community for the benefit of the
general community and not self interest groups
or individuals. As one person in the audience at
the meeting of 3 January 2018 asked, “who are
you?””
What are the burning issues driving these
people for a need to police council’s decision
making. The lack of public consultation over
the main street is not fact based as proposal
for the main street redevelopment was put
on public display in the Gordon hall in 2017
with officers and councillors available to
discuss the proposal over a couple of days
and allowing an opportunity for all residents
to comment. This would be considered
Public consultation.
As I said in my letter, “To me the failing of
council is that it did not articulate very well
that the original proposal for the works for the
treatment of the full scheme, from the post office
corner to the hotel corner, was diluted to just the
post office corner; when in my mind our main
entrance to the township from the freeway is more
important from a safety perspective and aesthetic
one. But no doubt if one was a follower of council
meetings and minutes one would be informed of
that fact”.
You want to set up a group to focus on
planning issues. What are the issues regarding
planning that are not consistent with the
current planning scheme, a scheme that all
residents of the shire had an opportunity to
input prior to the introduction of the scheme
and will have prior to the introduction of the
next planning scheme. I have been told that
there is a loosely formed group that has been
objecting to permits being issued on lots
smaller than 1000-1200sq metres, yet some of
these objectors themselves have subdivided
or purchased lots smaller than what they
have been objecting too. Will this be avoided
in your proposed group? Is it your intention
to have a constituted body so that there is
consistency in the objectives of the proposed
group or is it just to run interference with
council’s decision-making process? The track
record to date is questionable.
What is your agenda? What is your purpose?
What are your issues now the trees are not
an issue? What are the planning issues that
need to be focused on?

Dear Editor,
In regard to the proposed rate rise cap of 4% I
would like to make the following comments.
4% is 1.5% too high considering next to zero
wage growth, increasing bank interest rates,
gas and electricity costs, food and general
household expenses.
When rates are increased ratepayers will
spend less in the overall economy resulting
in loss of jobs, reduced business investment,
and, for some people, increased poverty.
In their current form, councils are not able
to meet ratepayer expectations and need
reform along the following lines.
As state governments are the main drivers
of population increase, they need to be
responsible for all infrastructure costs which
would include everything from land care to
waste management.
Vic roads should be responsible for all
roads. Developers would pay all costs
related to any development. Councils would
not be permitted to subsidise any private
enterprise; a user pay system would apply.
The role of councils should only be to
provide local input to the state government,
and that input, if not acted on, could impact
on the state government at election time as
the two levels of government could not buck
pass, therefore improving transparency and
the democratic process.
Council rules, regulations and procedures
should be uniform across the state resulting
in cost saving across all types of business
and the broader community.
This is not a simplistic view point, rather it
is an attempt to encourage people to think
about councils and governments in general.
Keeping to main points does not permit me
to expand on costing.

Dear Editor,
I write in response to ‘Research your
private planner’ (MN 12 Feb 2019) in which
Moorabool Mayor Councillor Paul Tatchell
fires a broadside at private planning
consultants. I am a private planning
consultant who prepares, lodges and project-
manages planning permit applications for
determination by Victorian councils. As I
do little work with Moorabool Council, he
would not have been talking about me, but
his statements still require correction.
Cr Tatchell said, “You don’t need a licence to
be a private planner”. This is true but most
planning consultants have BOTH university
qualifications AND extensive experience
in local government town planning
departments (and to get that experience
a degree is firstly required). Even those
without planning qualifications often have
degrees in engineering, surveying etc.
Given the overall predominance of
degree-qualified planners in the industry,
I doubt there are so many unqualified/
inexperienced/incompetent planning
consultants for them to be really a problem
for Moorabool.
This is far more than can be said for
councillors, empowered to make planning
decisions not because of qualification or
experience but solely because of votes.
This is the democratic process, but nobody
would want a medical system where elected
‘doctors’ override the decisions of real
doctors - so why is this alright for planning?
Nobody would claim to be competent in
accounting or law based just on filing their
own tax return or representing themselves
in court, yet somehow election to council
makes one competent in town planning.
I have a Master of Urban Planning Degree
from the University of Melbourne and
22-years as a planning consultant and/or
working in council planning departments;
few local councillors can say this, and my
planning qualifications and experience
would be greater than all councillors of each
of most councils put together.
If anything is clogging up the (statutory)
planning system, it is councillors being
involved in it via restrictive ‘delegation’
structures, forcing certain decisions to be
made only at council meetings.
Having attended many such meetings
(and while not referring specifically to
Moorabool, whose meetings I have never
been to), I have observed the behavior of
various other councillors, some of which can
only be described as disgraceful. As far as
planning applications are concerned, council
meetings are a charade - full of mock debate,
“dorothy dix questions” and pre-determined
decisions. The number of objections (ie votes)
against an application often seems to be the
only determining factor in their decision-
making. I also doubt that half of them even
read the extensive reports prepared for them
Each letter must be accompanied
by hard-working council town planners or
appreciate the extensive council – and private
- resources put into holding those meetings.
Then there are the frequent technical errors
(eg in amending permit conditions) that
people completely out of their depth often
make.
Even when I have successfully defended
council planning decisions at the Victorian
Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) it
has often been a case of “even a stopped clock
is right twice a day”. By this I am referring
to the fact that councils themselves make
extensive use of the services of planning
consultants, especially at VCAT when
councillors disregard the recommendations
of their own planners (and then rely on
private planning consultants to defend their
decisions at appeal). In my hundreds of
appearances at VCAT I have only ever seen
councillors in attendance on one occasion.
Especially for complicated or emotionally-
charged applications, council planners
also often find it easier to deal with private
planning consultants rather than laypeople,
and in general planning submission by
professionals are in all respects better than
ones by ordinary people. This helps councils
in their planning decision-making.
Councillor Tatchell’s statement, “You can
charge someone as much as you want to do a
planning application …”, indicates an ironic
disregard for market forces. My potential
clients are free to shop around, which (sadly)
is not so when lodging planning applications
with councils. It is in fact likely that
unqualified/inexperienced private planners
are the cheapest, indicating that their clients
do shop around. However, as consultants
also usually do not have ongoing contracts
with clients, demonstrated competency is
the only way to get repeat work.
Finally, his statement “I would advise
anybody looking to hire a private planner
to speak to previous customers of that
planner and ask them if they are satisfied”
is unhelpful. As a professional, for client
confidentiality reasons I do not give out
contact details of previous clients or expect
them to provide references for me. There is
also no way that details of any more than a
few such clients could be obtained publicly.
So, I am not sure how his suggestion would
work. Potential clients can however easily
obtain details of my qualifications and
experience - simply by asking me, which
they frequently do.
Well-qualified and experienced private
planning consultants add considerable
value to Victoria’s town planning system;
councillors, who can be elected knowing
literally nothing about planning, do not.

Residents of Bacchus Marsh:

THIS STINKS!
MADDINGLEY BROWN COAL has lodged application Ref: PA2011338
to amend current Planning Permit in order to:
 Transport and landfill upwards of 150,000 tonnes of Putrescible
waste (household and commercial rubbish) per year;
 Bring in Biosolids (sewage sludge) for composting;
 Allow increased numbers of trucks to use Grant Street.
They claim:
 That there won’t be any detectable odour issues.
 That it will not result in any detrimental impacts on the
surrounding road network and intersections.
 That it doesn’t impact nearby residents.

Do you believe this?

These wastes will come from surrounding shires.

BACCHUS MARSH will become

the rubbish tip of the west.

Drink knocks Walking more
driver off than a mile in
the road their shoes
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A security guard will serve a lengthy period off the road
after facing charges of driving whilst disqualified, unlicensed
driving and excessive speed.
It was alleged in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’ court on
Friday 8 February, by the prosecutor, Senior Constable Lisa
Schoemaker, that Liam Weir was spotted on Woolpack road
by authorities on October 26 last year, travelling 82km/h in
a 60km/h zone.
It was after this the accused was subsequently intercepted
and returned a positive breath test reading, blowing 0.154%.
Prosecutor Schoemaker said the accused allegedly told
police that he had a “knock off drink” after work.
“Next time I wouldn’t be interested, because you would be
getting a jail sentence,” Magistrate Rodney Crisp said.
“As a matter of fact, you are probably eligible for a jail
sentence because you drove whilst disqualified,” he said.
“I’m very apologetic, I mucked up,” Weir said.
Magistrate Crisp convicted Weir and fined him $2000 with a
period of five-years off the road.

Moorabool students and their families
congratulated for walking to school.
Local primary schools committed to VicHealth’s Walk to
School program last year and joined thousands of Victorian
students who walked, rode and scooted.
Balliang East Primary School took out the prize for highest
participation, for the third time, with an impressive 90.6 per
cent participation rate (67 students, parents and teachers
committed to walking to and from school every day),
pipping Coimadai Primary School at the post, with a 90 per
cent participation rate. They were awarded runners up.
Moorabool CEO Derek Madden said it is a fantastic result
for Moorabool, “particularly for two of our smaller schools.”
“Congratulations to all schools that participated, and we
hope all the kids keep the healthy habits up in Term 1 this
year,” Mr Madden said.
Schools in Moorabool Shire travelled a combined total of
16,354 kilometres -equivalent of 277 trips from Bacchus
Marsh to Ballarat.

Pykes water quality
still a concern
By Meg Kennedy
Another week, another ban for activities on Pykes Creek
reservoir.
Southern Rural Water confirmed to the Moorabool News last
Friday that results from the latest testing of Pykes showed
high levels of E.coli are still present, and therefore the reser-
voir will remain closed.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and thank the local
community, especially recreational users, for their patience
as we continue monitoring and testing,” an SRW spokesper-
son said.
“There will be another update next week when the latest test
results come back.”
This week marks the third week the reservoir has been
closed due to E.coli following a small opening for Australia
Day.
Updates on the Pykes Creek closure will be posted on the
Moorabool News Facebook page.

Lions unable
to pounce
By Todd Whelan

Darley Lions First Grade were left rueing a day of missed

opportunity in the field at stumps on Day One against Mt
Clear.
While the ladder leaders were eventually bowled out for 272,
it could well have been a whole lot less.
The Lions dropped four catches, missed three run-outs
and took two wickets with no-balls to leave coach Mike
Alexander left to ponder what could have been.
“We bowled really well at times but also bowled too many
‘four’ balls”, he said.
“Barnes (4/49) and Moore (3/52) were the pick of the
bowlers...our missed chances were made even more costly by
the quick outfield.” Tireless Bulls spinner Dennis O’Loughlin finished with 1/47

Despite the Lions’ disappointing day, Alexander remained
confident his batting line-up can get the job done.
“I think the key to staying in the game for a long period will
come from setting (achieving) small targets and ensuring Nelson Banigo with his four Gold medals he won on the

wickets in hand after tea,” he said.
“If our ‘top six’ bat most of the overs I’m sure we will give it
(the run chase) a good nudge.
“Partnerships will be crucial,” he said.
In reply with the bat Alexander and the returning Ryan Ali
remain not out in a shake-up at the top of the order.
“We just thought we would change things up at the top
given there was just the one over,” Alexander said.
“It will give us some nice (game situation) flexibility.”
After a horror start to the season (0-5) the Lions have
recovered to be one of the better performed teams in the
competition winning six of their last eight games.
Coincidentally, all of their six wins have come when batting
second.
Saturday’s conclusion looms as the acid test the Lions have
been yearning for.
Questions will be answered on Day Two, and with it the
Lions’ season in perspective made perfectly clear.

BACCHUS MARSH
the challenge
By Todd Whelan
Bacchus Marsh continue to flex their muscles at the top of
the table after bowling out sixth placed Sunbury United for
159 at the weekend.
While the Bulls rank just fourth in wickets taken, it’s their
pressure and economy rate that stands alone on top having
conceded the least amount of runs of any side this season.
After losing the toss and being sent into the field ‘The
Marsh” struggled despite picking up an early wicket.
The home-side looked to be cruising at 1/67 before Bulls
spearhead Madushanka Ekanayaka made the much-needed
breakthrough.
The game looked evenly poised at tea (3/101), before spinners
Dennis O’Loughlin and Daniel Lalor were given the ball;
that would prove the game changer.
O’Loughlin (1/47-20ov) and Lalor’s (4/27-13ov) efforts turned
the game on its head which later enabled Ekanayaka to clean
up the last two wickets in typical fiery fashion.
While United toiled hard with the bat and showed moments
of resilience, the day belonged to ‘The Marsh’ picking up
their last eight wickets for just 92 in a tick over 68 overs.
Bulls coach James Lidgett was proud of his boys at the
halfway mark.
“We were challenged but showed good fight to stay in the
contest and eventually have the game turn our way,” he said.
While the overall performance with ball and in the field was
pleasing for Lidgett, he conceded there was still work to be
done.
“We missed a few chances,” he said.
“(We) dropped a few catches and missed a run out chance.”
In reply Bacchus Marsh survived a difficult 45 minutes with
the bat and were pleased to finish at 0/30 needing a further
130 runs to win and remain on top of the table.
