With players from both teams coming off the field for no mouth guards, concussions and one player from the Leopards being sent off for backchat, you could say that the game was an eventful one. Unfortunately, the Leopards proved they were the better team on the day winning 18 – 12 over the Tigers. The try scorers for Tigers were Katene Snowden and Richard Brahne with James Bates kicking both conversions. The Premiers made it four in a row with a win at Murray Halberg Park against Otahuhu taking them into the Top Four – now sitting in 3rd Place on percentages….great stuff boys! Up 16-12 at the break, the Tigers went on with the job in the second 40, with veteran centre Nalu Tuigamala slotting some very difficult conversions, scoring a try and creating havoc in the centres. James Waterson dotted down twice. Other try scorers were Jordan Te Aho and newcomer – Tom Connick. Final score 28-12.

UNDER 6'S: COACH: EDDIE FIGOTA MANAGER: CARLY FIGOTA Not only does Eddie coach his son Ayden's team this year, he is also one of the stand out players in our Premier side. Eddies’ football career started at Pakuranga, but he was destined to end up at the Tigers after marrying Carly who has strong whanau ties to the club through her Dad, Roy Phillips and Mum, Ewa (Cook). From 2010-2012 Eddie and Carly also coached and managed the Tigers Under 13’s to Under 15’s which included Carly’s brother, Tommy Phillips. Below – the Tigers Under 6 team proudly showing off their new Jackets sponsored by The God Barber UNDER 7'S: COACH: DANILO LARGOSA ASST. COACH : BHIMA BHANA MANAGER: STAN CONRAD This is Dee's first year as full-time coach for his son Paxton's team after helping out last year. When Dee went on holiday for a month players Cooper and Kobe Hendry asked their Uncle Bhima if he would help out and luckily, he said yes. Dee is now back, and Bhima has stayed on to mentor the new coach which is another strategy in developing our coaches. Stan put his hand up this year to manage his son Kiwa's team with the help of his wife Kelli and we hope this is a start of a long connection with the Tigers.
