The Bulldogs got off to a flyer and kicked the first goals before the Camels manned up on their opponents and slowed the game pace down.

Broderick for the Camels created some much-needed appetite for the Sherrin and got the ball out to runners on numerous occasions.

An injury to Amarant resulted in a delay in play before he was stretchered off and carted away in an ambulance.

The quarter-time break had both coaches being extremely vocal with their players and demanding nothing but the best.

The second quarter was a tussle, with both teams kicking a few goals.

Wurramara from the Bulldogs started to show his class, as was Camels star Tom Gleeson, who was like a general off the halfback line, marshalling his troops into the right positions. When the half-time siren sounded, the Ngukurr outfit was up by just four points.

The Camels came out firing after the break, with Gleeson and Bell getting plenty of ball to the forwards.

The final quarter was like the third, with the Camels dominating the clearances and on the scoreboard.

The Bulldogs were hit by injuries in some fierce contests and were running out of legs, but Lansen tried valiantly to keep his side in the game before the Katherine team finished with six fourth-quarter goals to seal a 33-point win.
