Waking up to dark skys and heavy rain we thought it would be a true winter day for our game against Cockburn at Davilak Park. We arrived at the oval to clearing skys which made the parents a bit happier not having to stand in pouring rain. The game started intense as both teams were running hard working the ball to their advantage.

The second quarter was much the same as the team that was prepared to play in front would move the ball quicker to their forward line,which we were able to do on more occasions through fantastic team work by the Tigers.

The cool morning brought a slow start to the match as the boys came up against a skilled Kardinya team. The 1st quarter was a little scrappy as there was alot of congestion around the ball.

The 2nd quarter was very even as Kardinya made our defence work extra hard pushing forward with great pressure we had to be very switched on. We definately had to lift our attack on the ball and put more pressure on their players if we were to get the ball forward.
