Tigers Flag Tilt Ends in Heartache: Gold Undone By Well Drilled Opposition

Tigers Gold 18 vs Transpo 28
The first round of the finals drew Golds against Transpo so having won one and lost one in the league games this season we felt confident of a good tough game. Fast-paced from the very start, the action from both sides especially in the goal circles proved thrilling entertainment for the spectators. Joey and V-Ron led a tight attack and Penny and a newly-returned Liv bagged some great shots for the Tigers. Unfortunately, despite some solid defence from Roisin and Nikki, Transpo got off to a flying start that proved insurmountable in the end (28-18). Congratulations go out to the victors who notched up second place overall.

Tigers Gold 12 vs NIST 6
Given an originally unplanned final shot at a placing in the comp, Tigers Gold regrouped against NIST – determined to consolidate a win for the night. A couple of changes were made to freshen up the team, and the Tigers generated an awesome attack which was backed up by some great defensive play from Anna B and Carlene. NIST put up a tough fight for the ball (literally and figuratively) and more than one Tiger came away with a war wound – thankfully V-Ron’s fall wasn’t too serious. Without conceding the lead gained early on, the Golds sealed the victory 12-6 and third place in the comp. Many thanks go out to all the spectators who came to cheer us on, to Carlene for stepping up from the Blacks and to the other teams in the comp for a great season. Congratulations to Southerners for picking up the number one spot.
