LAST WEEKENDS GAMES This week our Premiers and Reserves headed out to Blockhouse Bay Reserve to take on the Bay Roskill Vikings. The only Tigers team apart from Premiers and Reserves to play last Saturday were our Under 6 (combined Tigers/Cubs) team who were invited by Bay Roskill to play in the morning – pre-Premier games. Our Tiger Cubs came away with the win 15 - MINI/MOD PRIZEGIVING 12 (tries). The Player of the Day was David Fatanitavake and the Best & Fairest THIS SATURDAY @12.45pm Player was Kaitoa Kimberley-Brown. Our Reserves came out firing with what you would call a “good game of footy”! A bit of tit for tat as they say. In a tie for the majority if the game, both teams were eager to get ahead of the other with only a few minutes left on the board. A try from Tigers saw them creep ahead by 4 with 5mins to go. Tigers then secured the win with another converted try leaving the final score 34 - 24. Try scorers: Taine THIS WEEKS DRAW Neho, Sam Cordtz, Jamaica Whaanga, Hemi McCarty.
