RESERVES MATCH REPORT v CAMDEN CATS
The Reserves moved into fifth place on the ladder and kept the faintest of finals hopes alive with a 120-point win over the Cats in the early match.
With big forwards Dominic Domma Shipley (six goals), Fraser Heffa Thomson (five) and Andrew Hahny Hahn (three) in dominant form, Camden had no answer as the visitors did as they pleased.
Nor-West had the match sewn up by quarter time with a seven goal to one blast, and despite a lacklustre second term when the Cats battled hard only to concede a couple of late goals, the Jets controlled the issue from start to finish in a 22.16 148 to 4.4 28 win.
Paul Coote continued his impressive form in the middle, while Mitch Pies Billingham performed well after being dropped from the seniors and Steve Pyscho Staszek also found plenty of the ball.
The Jets kicked six goals to one in each of the third and fourth quarters to overtake Holroyd-Parramatta on percentage and move within two wins of the four with a series of season-shaping matches to come.

SENIORS MATCH REPORT v CAMDEN CATS
THE Nor-West Jets slumped a game clear on the bottom of the Sydney AFL First Division ladder after another disappointing defeat at Fairfax Reserve, Harrington Park, on Saturday.
The Jets showed improvement in commitment, but they still found an opponent who wanted it more when the chips were down as Camden ran out 32-point winners, 15.13 103 to 10.11 71.
It was the opposite story in round three when the Jets turned a two-point lead at the last change into a 42-point win over the Cats, with Nor-West giving up an 11-point lead five minutes before the final change as the home team kicked nine of the last 11 goals to win convincingly.
Former coach Peter Pekay Kyle was a tower of strength across half back, taking countless marks to repel the Cats and stop them from breaking out to more than a 17-point lead at the first break, while East Coast forward Jared Patira was providing a strong target up forward.
The Jets fought back in the second and third quarters and looked like they were taking over the game when they broke to an 11-point lead nearing three quarter time as Paul Wanga Sherwood (three goals), Damien Browndog Brown, Stephen Stav Davidson, Owen Dildo Butcher and Adam Foxy Fox racked up the possessions at ground level and Andrew Shagga Travers made his presence felt in the air.
But Camden rallied with three late goals to set up an exciting last quarter before breaking clear with three more at the start of the last, and although Nor-West had one more run, it was too late and the home team kicked clear again.
