Kats down Blazers and Falcons defeat Wolves in the North Pilbara Football League Women’s competition

The Karratha Kats remain undefeated after six rounds of the North Pilbara Football League Women’s competition after a crushing victory over Hedland Blazers. The Hedland Blazers, fresh off their first win in the competition last week, were keen to show the Kats how much they had grown this season. A four-goal opening term while keeping Hedland scoreless set the home side up for victory. Karratha refused to settle, booting a further two goals in the second term to hold a 38-point lead at the main break. In a scrappy third term the Blazers kept the Kats scoreless but were unable to convert any of their own opportunities. A consolation goal in the final quarter put the Blazers on the scoreboard but it was too little too late, with the reigning premiers cruising to victory by 39 points 7.4 (46) to 1.1 (7). Meanwhile, in a low-scoring, high-pressure game between Karratha Falcons and Wickham Wolves both teams struggled to score. Falcons were able to kick 1.1 in the second quarter while keeping Wolves scoreless to lead by 13 points at the main break. The home side continued to control the ball in the second half, booting two goals in the third quarter to extend their lead to 18 points at the final break. Neither side was able to kick a goal in the fourth quarter with Falcons missing four scoring shots, but in the end it did not matter with Falcons holding off the Wolves by 22 points. Karratha Falcons defeated Wickham Wolves 3.7 (25) to 0.3 (3).
