Ben Jensen 29 May 2014
GOLD COAST SUNS V GEELONG CATS
GEELONG was sunk
by the Gold Coast tonight, losing to the Suns by forty points after
leading for most of the first half and at half time. The Suns were boosted
by six goals from Harley Bennell. The Suns overtook the Cats in the
third quarter with four unanswered goals to finish off the quarter,
taking a ten point lead into the final term. From then on it was a belting,
Gold Coast quickly pushing the lead over 20 points, the Cats thereafter
kicking a couple goals but the margin never dropping below 21 points.
For the Cats Shane Kersten in his first game kicked two goals with his
first two kicks, finishing with three. Tom Hawkins, Steven Motlop and
Charlie also finished with three. Next
Friday night Geelong plays Essendon, while Gold Coast travel to Launceston
to take on reigning Premiers Hawthorn.
