Last weekend’s trial games for the Men resulted in two wins from the two senior grade squads. Both matches were played at Temora with Squad 1 taking on last year’s Riverina Football League Grand Finalists Griffith Swans with the Tigers coming away with a resounding 14.15 to 5.3 victory. Squad 2 played Temora 1st Grade with Temora being ranked highly in the Farrer League Competition. The Tigers won a close encounter 12.13 to 11.3
Former Tigers NEAFL Premiership player Will Griggs is player coach of the Griffiths Swans and he along with fellow Tigers NEAFL Premiership teammates Sam Daniel and Alex Overs were all strong opposition for their former club.
