Big V Geelong Preview (Round 10)

Keith Harrison

Geelong Lady Cats (2-8)

Big V State Championship

vs. Waverley (8-2) @ The Arena Annexe, Sunday 2.00pm

Lady Cats coach Darren Busuttil remains committed to winning more games than he loses in the second half of the season. However he’s already behind the eight ball following Saturday night’s 13 point loss to Bullen. It doesn’t get any easier against Waverley on Sunday, with the Falcons the only legitimate challenger to Hume City for the title. The Lady Cats get back talented Warrnambool teenager Amy Wormald for the match following an injury lay-off. Last time they met back in round four Geelong pushed Waverley 56-54, and with a full squad to pick from will give themselves every chance of causing an upset.

Geelong Cats (8-4)

Big V Division One

vs. Altona (3-9) @ Altona Sports Centre, Sunday 3.00pm

The Cats will be keen to go into the Queen’s Birthday break with a 9-4 record which will have them well placed for a top two finish and a chance at redeeming last year’s grand final loss to Sunbury. Star shooter Keith Harrison returned in the weekend’s 21 point hammering of Bulleen after missing more than a month with a dislocated ankle. Although he finished with just two points, he managed to get through more than 20 minutes on court, and the former Supercats name on the team sheet is enough to strike fear into the rest of the Division One competition. The previous meeting between the Cats and the Gators, back in round five, resulted in a 102-91 win for Geelong.

Geelong Cats (8-4)

Big V Youth League Two

vs. Sunbury (8-4) @ Boardman Centre, Sunday 1.00pm

The Youth League squad returned to the winners’ list on Sunday with a gutsy one point victory over fellow top-two contenders Altona. This week Dave Brown’s charges face another tough challenge against Sunbury. This clash has plenty of extra spice, and not only because the victor will jump into second spot behind Hawthorn. The Cats will be looking for revenge after being beaten by the Jets in double-overtime on Mother’s Day. They’ll also be hoping to regain injured duo Simon Evans and Nathan Moore for the clash.
