Under 8 Tigers handle the mud

02 Sep, 2010 11:13 AM
BOTH sides enjoyed the extremely muddy conditions when Oberon under 8 Tigers played a strong game against St Pat’s Blue in Bathurst on Saturday.

There was plenty of skill displayed by players despite the conditions.

Tiger's defence was very solid and their attack was brilliant with plenty of off-loads to support players resulting in tries. The team passing was good, with players frequently spreading the ball out the back line.

The boys thank Andrew and the under 8 St Pat’s for a good game that was organised at the last moment.

Under 14s

THE Under 14 Tigers were defeated by a committed Orange CYMS side last Saturday.

Oberon played from behind after allowing CYMS to race in the first try.

A good defensive set saw Oberon regain possession, get to their kick and score to make it four all, but this was as close as they would get.

Charlie again led the way in the forwards with solid runs and sound defence.

Bailey, Stevie, Jed and Zander all played well in patches but have to more consistent.

Ryan and Tom in the halves combined well to cause CYMS some headaches, while Jack was dangerous with ball in hand, running straight and hard and also defending well. Jamie at fullback stopped many attacking raids with sound defence.

Throughout the year all the under 14 players have shown improvement in attack and defence and their dedication and enthusiasm cannot be questioned.

Greatly appreciated sponsors: Royal Hotel, First Super, Barts Earthmoving and Varlas Automotive would no doubt be proud of their efforts in turning up to train and play in cold, wet conditions every week.

Special mention to coach "Gasso" and trainer Mike for their efforts and time, the parents and supporters and all players who played "up" to help the team out.

Hopefully during the off season players can mature and bulk-up and come back next season bigger, faster and better than ever.

Pie rating 7.5.
