Quarter 1

00:00
History is in the making tonight. The first match to be played under lights at Skilled Stadium and it's a carnival atmosphere. There's also a footy game on with Geelong hosting the Gold Coast Suns.

We are off and underway at Skilled Stadium with the Suns getting first use of the ball.
02:00
The rain is falling at Skilled Stadium with the surface looking a delight.

SCORE BEHIND - Cats (Mathew Stokes)
04:00
BEHIND CATS - Stokes is pushed in the back after kicking and will be given another kick. He pulls his shot at goal and it misses to the left.
04:30
BEHIND SUNS - The visitors work it from coast to coast with Matera unable to apply the golden touch at the finish.
06:30
A touch of irony with Ablett now being matched up by Guthrie. That's the old number 29 being manned up by the new number 29.

SCORE GOAL - Suns (Luke Russell)

GOAL SUNS - Russell, the perennial substitute, actually starts in this match. Brennan passes to him and he marks 40 metres out. Russell goes back and kicks it straight through the middle.
08:53
SCORE GOAL - Cats (Nathan Vardy)
09:00
GOAL CATS - Having the lights on is a beautiful sight but there is no more beautiful sight than seeing Nathan Vardy in full flight. He gathers the ball at speed, spins and kicks the goal!

The Suns holding their own in defence and they win the free kick with the opportunity to clear once again.
