Unfortunately, the Jets were unable to provide a full complement of players – with this game being reduced to 16 a side. Thanks to Alex Coppinger for also assisting Gungahlin as a playing member of their team.

Men’s 1st Grade
This contest was far more competitive than the scores indicate however it was the Tigers who would overcome some early injury problems to key players and overrun an enthusiastic Jets combination.
Gungahlin also suffered two serious injuries during the match including a broken ankle with concern by both clubs for the player being acknowledged with a combined effort from all Sports Medicine personal in attendance.
A nine-goal last quarter by the Tigers compensated for an inaccurate 3.10 posted in the third term.
