The same handful of players is turning up each week for training and matches and showing plenty of Tigers heart.

With 18 players on the books it should not be hard to get the numbers each week. Come on U18s, don’t let your team-mates down. Get back that team spirit and go like a Tiger.

This week the U18s play Lithgow Workies at Oberon Sports Ground, with full canteen operating. Come and support your team and your town.
