Tigers get two wins in Newcastle

Four weeks after travelling to Newcastle and coming away with two wins, UTS repeated the feat in round 5.

The Tigers second grade had three players making their club debuts and another two making their season debuts. All debutants played strongly as UTS defeated Newcastle University second grade, 42-10.

The first grade clash between the two clubs was a much tighter contest. UTS dominated the first half but had to dig deep to hold off a strong second-half effort from Newcastle. A late try to Jonathan Pritchard secured the 24-10 victory.

 

Tigers fall to rival in both grades

On a windy Saturday at Blackmore Oval, UTS Tigers 1st Grade made its 2012 home debut against traditional rivals, Norwest Polecats. The Tigers faced their first big test of the season against the competition leaders and came up short, as Norwest continued its unbeaten start to the season with a 24-18 win. Daniel Hamad was outstanding in a losing team.
