A great day was had at Mackay Park on Sunday.. Five games of football were played with Batemans Bay coming out on top in 3 games The Batemans Bay ladies league tag teams are getting stronger and quicker under the watchful eye of Rod Wright and it is clear that his knowledge of the game has developed the girls team since taking over as coach.They played 2 games in the hot Autumn sun and beat both teams.There are too many good players to isolate one for special mention..they truly are playing as a team and deserve all congratulations. The Under 18s were short on numbers due to representative players being unavailable but continued to try hard against the Bega Roosters. Time ran out for the boys who are making progress with their skills. The Reserves battled hard against Bega and finished on the wrong side of the new H hardware and All About Glass scoreboard. After a mammoth wait the new look First Grade team came on to the park and looked the goods early on. The Tigers new signings of Luke Farmer, Peter Letts and Sean Deaves combined with the local players and made the crowd come alive watching the Tigers rip the Bega Roosters apart.
Tough defence saw the Tigers dominate and win ground all game and the attacking raids were fantastic to watch.At the end of the game the score was 32-18. The score probably didn't reflect the dominance the Tigers had. After nearly 2 1/2 years the Tigers team and long suffering but very loyal fans were ecstatic.The teams travel to Merimbula this weekend. Well done to all players, training and coaching staff and canteen staff and committee. There's a long way to go but lets get behind the teams and see what happens through the season.
