Kilcunda-Bass Premiers for 2012 KILCUNDA-BASS has gone back-to-back, taking out the 2012 Alberton Premiership by 19 points over Dalyston on Saturday 15 September, 2012. Grand final hype was definitely about on the day and Dalyston kicked with a slight breeze in the first quarter. The teams went goal for goal in the first quarter despite the Panthers getting more of the ball in their forward line. A number of offline shots meant that the Panthers failed to get the early lead they had hoped for. It was a very tough game with both sides giving it their all, while players on both teams were touchy early on as old rivalries were shown. The game got physical midway through the quarter with Peter Dunlop and Jason Wells having a disagreement in the Panthers' forward line. Dunlop was yellow carded for the incident and umpire Peter McLean finally The Magpies came out a different side in the third, working hard and managed to break up the feud. The Panthers were looking strong early pushing forward. The whole team had lifted and were sending the ball and, with more accurate kicking, could have put the game away with 10 forward every chance they had. Benefiting from a Panthers lack of scoring shots, however, they only managed three majors. Dalyston only judgment Dalyston crumbed the ball at half back and after a good managed two goals for the quarter but still kept in touch. succession Peter Dunlop marked in front of goal. This resulted in a goal An early Panthers’ goal started the second quarter and Dalyston quickly and the Magpies were on a roll. Another goal to Rosendale had the returned fire. The midfielders were working overtime with the ball margin at seven points and another Dalyston goal had them only one spending a lot of time in the middle. After a tough push by Dalyston into point away from the lead. A Luke James scissor kick out of nowhere put their forward line, Jackson Brooker managed a magnificent kick from a the Panthers back in front by seven points at three quarter time. tight angle under pressure to bounce through an open goal and spark his At the start of the premiership quarter, it was anyone's game. A quick team. This also sparked a second dust-up - this time between Dalyston behind and then another goal to Rosendale meant the scores were tied star forward Steve Pimm and Panther Dylan Shepherd. Team mates came early in the last. The crowd was on edge and the Panthers weren't giving to break up the encounter and Shepherd was awarded a yellow card for up that easily.

A Dalyston behind followed, Matt Hendry was earning his stripes in the ruck against his larger then a Smith to James succession saw another goal extend the lead out to Magpie opponent Rogan Jennings. The clearances were helping the 11 points. With most of the play in the Panthers' forward line, the hope Panthers and quick work from a Dalyston turnover awarded Kilcunda-Bass for Dalyston was slipping away. Another few behinds added to the margin another goal. Pinn returned fire with a set shot from in front just before when a Luke James screamer on the goal line followed by a goal was the the siren. His celebrations sparked another brawl as the teams headed icing on the cake for the Panther boys. Supporters flooded the field on into the rooms for half time. The scores stood at 54 to 30 and Dalyston the siren to celebrate with the dual premiership team. needed to lift. (Article compliments of the Great Southern Star.) Corinella CFA Scores New Equipment The Corinella Country Fire Authority (CFA) recently applied for three community grants offered by the Bass Coast Shire Council and were successful in all three grants. One of the items is a new computer which will enable brigade members to receive the latest video and/or audio information on location when attending emergencies. Tracy Jenner, pictured right, demonstrates how the computer will be used when out in the field. The brigade’s new light-weight, portable generator (being held by Brandon Shell showing its portability) can be adapted and used for both 12V and 240V purposes. Generators of this nature have developed in leaps and bounds over the past few decades. They are amazingly quiet, ergonomically friendly and operate virtually on the smell of an oily rag. Some new radio handsets were also received (shown left by the members). These will provide a much-needed safety link to members when out and about fighting fires in dense scrubland. Ed.
