Mitch Daniher to play 100th 1st Grade match

Queanbeyan’s prolific onballer Mitch Daniher will record his 100th 1st Grade this Sunday at Dairy Farmers Park when the Tigers take on Ainslie.

The match is deemed as one of the most important of the year with the Tigers reeling after winning just one match from the past seven. They are now in serious danger of missing the four if further losses occur.

But Sunday is an all important occasion for the like able 25 year old who joined the Club from Turvey Park in 2005 and has since won three First Grade Best and Fairest Awards along with a Mulrooney Medal of which he tied with two others in 2009.

His ability to win the hard ball in tight situation has drawn respect from all areas of AFL Canberra and with the Tigers season on the line on Sunday nothing than a best on ground will be acceptable from one of the best players to have donned the black and gold.
