OBERON Tigers U7's played their first game of the season on Saturday at a knockout at St Pats.

As well as being the first game of the year for the 13 Oberon players it was the first game of their lives. Well done Nik, Jack, Lachlan, Tyler, Jake, Caine, Jordon, Connor, Phoenix, Max, Jed, Tom and Riley.

The Oberon boys tackled everything that moved and ran the ball like seasoned first graders as they took on Cyms, Blayney and St Pats.

The skills, determination and enthusiasm displayed by these young Tigers leaves no doubt that the future of Oberon first grade is in safe hands. Well done boys.
