First Up Wins for Both Grades

» Posted by Spud on 23-Mar-04

The season opener for the Tigers saw them travel to the blustery Little Bay, a mere stone's throw from the Long Bay Hilton, for a meeting with one of last season's finalists, Trasandinos.

The first team dominated from the outset and took an early 2-0 lead with goals from Vinny Leonard and Julian Bracewell, before conceding shortly before half time. A second half brace from Steve Lewis put the game beyond Trasandinos, but they did manage to cause a late scare with a goal and a couple of near misses. Final score 4-2 to the Tigers, with Jake Flower grabbing the player of the match award.

Reserve grade totally dominated the first half of their game with little reward until Jem Richardson broke the deadlock just before the interval. A Richardson penalty and a headed goal from Honza "Mutu" Capek took the score out to 3-0 in the second half and the Tigers looked to be coasting. However a woeful final 10 from the Tigers allowed Trasandinos a host of chances, from which they fortunately only scored a solitary consolation goal. Final score 3-1 with Richardson taking home the man of the match pints.
