Monfries has a two-on-one with a kick to the hotspot but he sprays it and the bounce favours Sidebottom who clears. (Q3 15:34)

Sidebottom tries a low percentage short pass from the last line to the HBF, Hartlett intercepts and has Wingard on his own near the behind post. Wingard marks and goals. (Q4 4:36)
Given very wet and slippery conditions, that is almost the sealer even at this early stage of Q4. With Cloke nowhere and White not dangerous, hard for the Woods to come back. (Q4 5:21)
