Geelong have held off a surging Sydney to keep their AFLW season alive with a three-point victory. The Cats led at every change on Sunday before the Swans mounted a serious fourth-quarter challenge to reduce a game-high 21-point lead. Lexi Hamilton brought the Swans within four points late in the last quarter, but the Cats held on to win 5.14 to 6.5 in front of 3,127 fans at Sydney’s Henson Park.
Geelong brought the heat early against the Swans, kicking the opening three goals to build a 3.2 to 0.2 lead at the first change. With the breeze behind them in the second term, Sydney finally found reward on the scoreboard when Irish import Paris McCarthy kicked three goals in seven minutes. McCarthy stunned the Cats’ defenders when she snapped overhead after teammate Bec Privitelli’s shot at goal fell short to reduce the margin to two points.
