to celebrate the end of another season.

Cheryl and her band of waitresses at the Oberon RSL provided a wonderful

buffet meal to begin proceedings.

The presentation of trophies and jumpers to the Under 18s and the Senior Tigers followed, as each current player was congratulated by the Legendary ’59 and ’69 teams.

The presentations were a very moving experience for all.

The three new memorial trophies have added a new dimension to the Tigers'

trophy cabinet.
