Tigers Roar to Finals Glory!

Balmain Tigers have roared into the Grand Finals race with a great hit out at Leichhardt Oval HQ last Saturday arvo with the little Cottontail Bunnies.

Skipper Luke Dead-Eye Milton booted the Tigers to an early lead from a penalty goal to be followed up with another three over the little black dot as the Balmain boys romped to a 20-10 half time unbeatable lead.

Bronson Harrison showed more toe than a roman sandal as he raced over for the first of his two tries and backed up by tries to Leigh Bowman and Brett Kelly.

Balmain’s Tiger Cubs were a sparkling example to Tim Sheens Big Boys over in Kiwiland who followed suit by whacking the local yokels 16-4 in their second half encounter with two tries to livewire hooker Robbie Mears followed by John Wilson and the extras from the boot of Luke Covell.

John Wilson’s try set a new club record of 16 tries for the season breaking Joel Caine’s former 15 tries fiesta set three years ago.

Balmain’s Harold Matthews squad were on hand Saturday at HQ to form a guard of honour as their big brothers ran onto the sacred soil of Leichhardt for the last time this season prior to their grand final surge.

Premier League coach Peter Camroux takes his red blooded Balmain Tigers to the Hot Air Capital this Friday night to knock the stuffing out of the minor premier Faders on the road to premiership honours.

Then all back to the Tigers Den to celebrate. See ya there.

Go The Tigers!
