DETERMINED to strengthen its list, Frankston has secured a couple of good recruits.

Box Hill pair Jackson Sketcher and Leigh Kitchin signed with the Dolphins on Saturday.

The midfielders played in Box Hill’s reserves premiership side this year, Kitchin as captain. Sketcher was a star at TAC Cup level with the Sandringham Dragons, jointly winning the 2010 Morrish Medal with Dyson Heppell.

DEPLETED by injuries, Frankston was forced to play two short in the reserves on Saturday.

MICHAEL Hibberd last season went to war with the Dolphins but on Sunday he was the enemy, as part of the Bendigo Bombers team.

It must have been a strange feeling battling against his mates, but this is the modern game -– and popular ‘‘ Hibbo’’ is chasing his dream.

Playing his first game of the season after a quad strain, Hibberd was among the Bendigo Bombers’ best players in their 52-point win over Frankston in VFL round three.
