In a momentous Round 1 performance, Richmond dominated play from the get-go. They attacked the game with vigour and defended with determination, ceasing all the Bulldogs’ forward entries.
Early in the first term, co-vice captain Kate Dixon snagged the first goal of the match, much to the delight of the roaring Richmond spectators. By the end of the first quarter, the Tigers held a 12 point lead.
A slower second quarter saw no majors scored by either side, but the Tigers stayed in control and the margin extended to 15 points.
Richmond had a massive second half, spearheaded by Dixon and Jenna Colwell, who worked together seamlessly in the forward line. By the conclusion of the match, the Tigers had stretched their lead to a whopping 38 points.
