Tigers pay a big price

Andrew Rogers

WHAT a hefty price Woorinen paid for its one-goal loss to Swan Hill.

The result saw the Swans equal the Tigers win-loss record for 2014 and move ahead on percentage.

It relegated Naomi Lewis’ side to a qualifying final against Tooleybuc Manangatang tomorrow and put the champion Swans through to the second semi-final and earned them the week off.

Tayla Stanley (31), the Tigers’ best on court, and Amy Cadd (7) were in form in goals for the Tigers but with Emily Patterson (29) and Kelly Stanger (10) also on-song the Swans finished a goal in front of Woorinen at full-time.

Tooleybuc Manangatang endured a similarly nail-biting prospect as the Tigers last weekend. Had the Saints have lost their game to Tyntynder they would be playing in Sunday’s elimination showdown with Kerang.

With Julie Wardle (27) and Bridget Austerberry (25) on fire though, the Saints were too strong for the Dogs, winning 52-47.

Wing attack Zoe Livingston was named the Saints’ best player.
