SENIORS
Windy conditions greeted the teams as the game started, with Catani having the first crack with the advantage.
Scoring was difficult with the Dusties defenders frustrating the Blues for much of the quarter and, apart from a few lapses and some welljudged marks by John Entwisle, had done a good job to only trail the Blues by five goals to one at the first term.
From there on it became pretty much one way traffic Catani’s way.
The wind had died away and the Blues were able to pile on eight goals to two in the second term and 10 to one for the third to put the game away.
The final term saw the side play out time, but the Blues still managed a sixgoalstotwo term to end up with a 150 point winning margin.
Michael Stockx is starting to get back to his best and John Entwisle bagged another 11 goals for the day.
Other players to shine were Aaron Alger, Paul Whiffin, Chris Maclean, Ben Maroney and Owen Fitzpatrick.
