Katandra cashes in on Cutters

Club president Blake Keech slotted the visitor’s only goal at Katandra Recreation Reserve, while at the other end, the Kats piled on 32 majors.

Final score: Katandra 32.13 (205) def Mathoura 1.1 (7).

Mitchell Black (6) and Thomas Jeffrey (5) were the goal-scoring leaders for the host.

After a series of games against the league’s better sides, the Cutters have an opportunity to showcase the steps they’ve made on the training park with a much kinder month of fixtures on the way.

Mathoura plays each of the four sides who currently accompany them in the bottom five in consecutive matches with Strathmerton (3-5) the opponent this week.

That match will be followed by games against Katunga (3-5), Rennie (0-9), a bye and Blighty (0-9).

At Katandra Recreation Reserve, winless Mathoura A-grade found little joy against a top-tier Kats side.

The lead was double digits by the end of the first period and the scoreline quickly got out of hand as Katandra piled on goals through the second.

Twenty-six goals behind at the main break, Mathoura’s fortunes didn’t improve in the second half, and Katandra strolled away a 75-22 winner.

The Cutters continue to avoid the wooden-spoon position thanks to Blighty which has an inferior score difference.

An opportunity for Mathoura to break its duck arises this weekend as the Cutters host table neighbour Strathmerton, which is winless since the opening day.
