Super excited for the match today. My Cats are finally playing for the shield. Having never beaten the Jacks before, we're definitely the underdogs.

Good match so far. Some red calls that will for sure be discussed. Need a little more.oomph from the Cats, though.

One of the best championship matches to date.
