Match Preview

Welcome back to a new season. Our boys are now Under 12s! The opening game of the new season is a "home" derby against our very own Pumas. Tigers haven't played the Pumas in a competitive match, but we have borrowed a number of their players from time to time, and they have always performed very well, even contributing the odd goal.

Tigers have a few new faces. We welcome George from the Wildcats; George prefers to play on the left of midfield. Also joining the Tigers, and a newcomer to the Club, is John, a right-sided midfielder by preference. John has shown plenty of skill in pre-season, and we are delighted to have both boys on the roster.

In the close season, Alex left the Club in order to concentrate on his rugby, and we wish him well. It will be interesting to see who steps up to fill the defensive hole he leaves us with.

Eli has picked up an injury so is unavailable this weekend and Henry finds himself engaged in House football at his new school.

The new season has us playing two 30-minute halves and we no longer have a retreat line for goalkicks. The boys are going to need early nights and power-breakfasts to be at their best on Saturday mornings.

See you on the touchline
