This Sunday the Tigers return home in all three grades. The club will be hosting ladies day, with all ladies attending the ground receiving complimentary drinks in the marquee lounge.
The League tag girls will start the day against the Bullettes kicking off at 11:45am and then into the marquee lounge to cheer on the open juniors who take on Cabonne United kicking off at 12:45pm.
At 2pm the First grade side take on the Molong Bulls in the match of the round. The
senior tigers will be looking to keep their
undefeated home record intact.
In what can only be described as a gutsy effort an undermanned tigers outfit were
eventually beaten 48-20 by the Condobolin Rams on Sunday.
The senior side was hit with a dose of the flu going around and it took its toll on the side as the rams raced away in the late stages of the game.
The Rams led 24-14 at half time, before some Rob Burn brilliance put Nick Whatman over and narrowed the gap to 24-20 just after the break.
Here the score remained for a long period of time, with the tigers just unable to finish the rams off.
As we see so often in these games a long
distance try against the run of play turned the momentum and the Rams scored back to back tries and took the game out of the tigers reach.
The Tigers still sit in fifth position on the
ladder but need to win this Sunday with Eugowra and Condobolin closing the gap fast.
Condobolin 48 def Canowindra 20 (Phil Butler, Damian Kennedy, Nick Whatman, Sam O’Malveney tries. Rob Burn 2 goals)
League Tag
A much improved Condobolin outfit
outlasted the Tigresses in an entertaining match on Sunday. The Condobolin girls raced to a 5-1 half time lead, before the Tigresses struck
repeatedly and closed the gap to 5-4.
There was some great play in the dying
minutes but the Condobolin defence held on and they ran out winners 5-4. For the Tigresses Sarah Cummings, Kylie Pull and Kylie Dunn had strong games with Sally McClean voted players player.
Condobolin 5 defeated Canowindra 4 (Sally McClean 3 Maddie Vitnell tries).
Open Juniors
The referees claimed this was the best Open Juniors match of the season.
The Tigers scored first in the opening
minutes to lead 6-0. Condobolin didn’t waste any time scoring back to back and took a 10-6 lead. This is where the score remained for almost the entire match until the tigers scored with less then two minutes on the clock for a 12-10 win.
Despite the low score it was a great game with plenty of busts but desperate defence from both sides the highlight of the day.
Round 14
The Tigers at home in all three grades kicking off at 11:45.
