Charli Davis (seven goals, 17 disposals) and Piper Humphries (five marks, 11 inside-50s, 27 disposals) were excellent for the Cats.
And for the home side, Kirby Brakey (11 clearances, 15 one-percenters, 22 disposals) and Kath Witherden (eight one-percenters, 13 tackles, 11 disposals) were brave in defeat.
The men’s game followed directly after, and at the end of a tightly contested first term the Cats led by a goal at the first change.
Burnie return served in the second quarter, notching four goals to two for the interval to go up by a goal themselves at the half.
The third term was akin to the first term, with scoring in short supply. However, the Dockers held on to a lead of five points at the final break.
