Alumni Evens Taggle Series, 47-42
A beautifully rehabilitated grass pitch at Broadlands Park was the site of the second annual Tigers Rugby Alumni Match. The freshly cut and lined pitch was layed out by the O’Brians and O’Connors for the 10:00 am kick-off. The Annual General Meeting followed with awards and elections.
A 22-22 half time score held up after Sammy Glynn missed a conversion as time ran out. The second half was an epic battle with Andy Maul, Marcus and Alejandro Lucero and Josh Carvalho leading the 2008 Tiger RFC U-19 side against their coaches and alumni. Pat Quinlan scored his first try of the 21st century to put the veterans up for good. The seasoned left wing took a pass on the weak side, and ran it to the center of the posts uncontested. A late charge by the 2008 Tigers just about put the match into overtime, but for an unlucky knocked-on pass.
