Both teams took the field in the second half showing the spectators a great game of football, after recovering from their nerves. Bradyn Cassidy once again received the ball to score the first try of the second half which Rohan Toole successfully converted. Great defence and attack by both teams. The team once again passing the ball off to Bradyn who scored his fourth try of the game which was converted by Bailey Cain making the full time score Canowindra Tigers 24 - Forbes Magpies 12. The crowd erupted with cheer, and the team were soon swamped by proud parents and supporters. The team finally gave us a victory cry which put goose bumps all over. Go the Mighty Tigers!

Congratulations to Coach Ken Willson and Trainer Brock White. A big thank you to everyone who travelled to Parkes on Saturday to show their support, it was great to see so many locals turn up to watch the game and share in the team's elation after their win.

Harry Whatman, Alex Willson and Josh Trayhurn had great games in defence with Harry topping the tackle count on 19, Alex on 16 and Josh on 14, closely followed by Rohan Toole, Braydn Cassidy and Bailey Cain. Tara Jenkins also deserving a mention for her biggest effort this season in defence! Harry Whatman and Alex Willson had great games in attack topping the hitups on 16 each closely followed by Bradyn Cassidy and Bailey Cain. Not everyone managed a hitup in this game but everyone on the team had stats for tackles. It was a mighty fine effort by the whole team.

Kitome U16 2006 Grandfinalists

With the U10's overwhelming win the pressure mounted for the Mighty U16's who had the longest and most nerve racking wait in history! With supporters holding their breaths, the Time Had Come. It was finally time to take the field. With faces so focussed and adrenaline pumping the boys took the field with their heads held high. Kick off time and the mighty Tigers gave every tackle their all. The crowd cringed every time Parkes tried to go through the Tigers line. Ronald, Cho, Kyle, Piggy, Brad B and actually every player made some spine altering tackles during the entire game. Unfortunately they were at a loss when team Captain Kane Trayhurn injured his ankle in the first 5 minutes of the game, the disappointment of not being able to play bit harder than the pain from the injury. The Tigers however lifted and kept on absolutely pulverising Parkes. Parkes finally worked out that they could not go through the Tigers so they put the foot down and with great speed went around to score. Tigers did not seem to budge and held their amazing defences and with some brilliant leg work from Haydon Hodge the Tigers were on the board with the conversion unsuccessful. Haydon also made some spectacular try saving tackles throughout the game. Ronny, Piggy, Kyle and Cho tried hard to make gaps for Aaron Woolley, Anthony T and Brad Tangye who came so close to the line with some hard and fast runs. At this stage of the game it was almost the end of first half and Parkes who had all the confidence in the world pulled of some awesome plays that they plucked out of somewhere. Parkes were now in front. With the Tigers giving the game everything they had they looked like they were at war, muddy and tired they kept battling on. As the fatigue set in late in the second half Parkes took advantage and with such a depth of talent ran in some great tries. The Tigers were helpless in trying to read Parkes next move as they mixed it right up. Tigers however played the hardest and most physical game of the season. With the score line irrelevant to the players powered on.

A beautiful try came from Aaron Wooley to urge the Tigers on,with some great leg work from Piggy. Nigel, Stuart G, Stuart S, Aaron E, Michael Traves, Abram, Keiran and Nick Whatman all put in a mighty effort. Parkes however ran away with the game 40-8.

The Tigers have had a great season with all the players developing throughout the season into some fine Footy Players.

Congratulations to Garry, Cods, Therese and Graham for their outstanding support and guidance.
