RUGBY LEAGUE
Life memberships were awarded to John Slattery
and Dick Marsh on Saturday. These two gentleman
have over 90 years of involvement with the Tigers
between them. Congratulations to them both.
Woodbridge Cup Youth League
Canowindra took on the Goannas in the youth
league competition on Saturday and were on top
from the opening minutes with Brydon Hughes
scoring near the uprights. Canowindra maintained
their dominance with Brendon Zahra scoring off a
Dan Middleton kick. Shortly after Ethan Drennan
scored under the posts, converted by Phil Tarrant
making the score 14 -0. Phil Tarrant threw a great
pass to Nick Willson who put the ball under the
posts setting up the easy conversion or Matt
McLean. Just before half time Blake Willson scored
a good try which took the score to 26-0 at half
time.
Canowindra started making silly mistakes early in
the second half but held strong keeping Grenfell
out. Tom Roth scored to get Canowindra going
forward again. Phil Tarrant scored off a great off
load from Nick Willson. Canowindra finished with
Harry Myers scoring under the posts. The final
score was 52 - 4.
Credit must go to the Grenfell club for fielding a
team after lacking numbers in this age group and
the under 16s for a number of years. This effort
has allowed Woodbridge Cup to field 6 teams in
this competition for 2011 a great achievement.
League Tag: It was all one way traffic in the league
tag, match with the Tigresses running out 13-3
winners over the Girlannas. Maddie Vitnell, Sally
McLean and Jess Cantle were too fast for the
opposition as the Canowindra girls dominated the
day.
First grade: The senior Tigers went into Saturday’s
game with a host of stars out, and it certainly af-
fected them, they were well short of fantastic. In a
mistake riddled game the Tigers went down 28-24
in a game that was certainly there for the taking.
Midway through the second half some tough play
from Willie Lafolafo and Peter Pita lifted the Tigers
giving them the momentum until it was snuffed
out by Grenfell centre Junior Vatikani with a charge
down and regather to score under the posts.
For the Tigers they were best served by Peter Pita
and Wally Gaeta who continually tried to give the
Tigers some momentum.
This week the Tigers travel to Cargo to take on the
Blue heelers. With a 2pm kick off on Sunday
The Tigresses take on the Blue Sheeler Pups at
1pm and the youth league side have the bye.

On Saturday the Canowindra Pythons hit
the road for the first time this year to take
on old foe the Blayney Rams. With the
weather being possibly the best day for
football in Blayney in many years the
boys were keen to take the field.
From the kickoff the Pythons were able to
turn possession over and go straight on
the attack and put plenty of pressure on
the Blayney defence. With Adam Smith
charging a clearing kick down from
Blayney it appeared that Adam Nash had
got to the ball first and ground it however Canowindra Pony Club held a rally day
