The Tigers led midway through the second-half however the Rhinos were able to capitlise on opportunities in the final stages to win the round five Woodbridge Cup contest 30-22.
It marked Canowindra’s second loss of the season and second straight defeat having been edged out by Grenfell a week earlier.
More patience in attack is an area the Tigers will be working on in coming weeks.
In a losing side the Tigers’ best were Dan Madden, Dan Middleton, Nick Willson and Tim Wythes while players’ player went to Alex Willson.
Aaron Earsman and Blake Willson were also impressive in defence making more than 40 tackles respectively and halfback Jayden Brown directed his troops around the field nicely.
It was entertaining game of football played in front of the old boys who played in the 1965 and 1968 premiership winning sides.
The day was a bumper one for the club with the junior league sides battling Grenfell before the senior grades.
League tag went down to Manildra 50-6 and Youth League were also outclassed losing 30-0 in a shortened game due to an injury.
The Tigers are back at home this Sunday to take on Condobolin.
