00:00The Storm are attacking. One goal, 1-7 to Sanders. Storm yet to score. Five and a half gone, opening two.

00:09And thrown in. 55 out from goal.

00:13Knocked down. Good battle so far. Scores out to Riley Wilson. Wilson handballed inside.

00:184.50 to Gill. Gill tried to sidestep his way through. He was caught in the tackle. Coughlin went through.

00:22He then shoveled out the handball wide. Dragons will go backwards.

00:26Coughlin has taken in a strong tackle by Malik Gordon. He's been hard at the footy early.

00:30Malik Gordon. Ball up. 25 metres out from goal.

00:33Inside. Forward. 50. Ah, the Strathfield Saves Storm.

00:36They're first through. Look at it. Inside. 50. Jason.

00:39Locky Gill's dangerous here too. He gets on the move.

00:43So Gordon goes up in the ruck. He knocks it down. Then Gordon. He roves his own ball.

00:47He goes goalwards. There's Malik Gordon!

00:49And with a little checkside kick, he's kicked Strathfield Saves today.

00:53It's another minor score to that left-hand side. 3-6-24 now, Sandhurst.

00:57The Storm are one straight six.

00:59But the footy lives it fresh. Bendigo.

01:01Well, the ball was brought in very quickly by the Storm. It ends up on the outer side.

01:05But another turnover. Getting a lot of the footy.

01:08Connick now with the Dragons. Short pass laterally to Free.

01:11Free will come through the middle of the QEO. Then he'll go long inside.

01:14Forward. 50. It's a poor kick. It's another turnover.

01:17It's a Storm mark taken by Leicester.

01:19He'll give a handball off and they'll share it round.

01:21Gill's got the footy now. Over the top.

01:23Hurried kick will go. Ratcliffe to the wing.

01:26They'll set themselves front and centre.

01:28Good roving by the Storm. It came through Chales.

01:31Inside. Forward. 50. Oh, poor bounce!

01:33Running onto it was Gordon!

01:35He turns around and is a bit cheeky to Ireland as well.

01:39Ireland might have went a little bit slowly at it.

01:42Sandhurst, 38, have been defeated by Storm, 41.

01:45And they'll move on to play Gisborne. That's Gisborne versus Stamford.

01:48Handball from Harvey worked its way to Jones.

01:50Jones inside. Forward. 50.

01:51Mark taken by Malik Gordon again.

01:54Isn't he having some sort of first quarter?

01:56He was written off. He's come back.

01:59And he's going to go back for goal number three.

02:02And, well, I hate to say it, Jase, but you had him written off

02:04and he's showing you wrong.

02:05I know. It was not my finest hour that one came.

02:07But credit to him. He's out there.

02:09He's clearly, clearly inhibited by the ankle.

02:12But he's...

02:13And it's the right one too.

02:15So it'll be interesting to see how this comes off.

02:1740 metres out. And remarkably, if he kicks this,

02:19it'll be back to just a single goal the difference

02:22for all Sandhurst domination in this quarter.

02:24Gordon. 40 out. Directly in front.

02:27Goes Garwood. And he puts it through.

02:30He has got three goals in this quarter.
