After a disappointing roll-up of 15 of our 31 registered players Tigers took the field with several players carrying injuries. Tyler Hughes played a strong game despite having a broken wrist.

Dallas Booth put the first four pointer on the board and Shaun O'Neil’s conversion was successful. Kandos fought back hard and tough, and by half time they had a 16-10 lead.

In the second half the Tigers couldn't get it together but they didn't give up at any stage.

Cheyne Barker, Luke Christie Johnston and Tim Cooper responded to the strong, hard defence from Kandos, making some strong breaks. Kandos scored only one try and a field goal in the second half.

The match was marred by a fight which followed some Kandos aggression on and off the field. Final score 23-14.

The courageous injured Oberon Tigers who took the field are congratulated for their effort and dedication.

Next week the Tigers will take on Portland Colts, at Oberon's Sports and Recreation Ground. The kick-off will be at 2:30pm.
