19 Mar 2019 by John Kennedy

Tigers u14 Boys top a fantastic win over Newry to claim the Development Title in LaSalle. The game started slowly with the Tigers just edging the opening few minutes to lead 4-2 with 4:34 remaining in the period, however following a TO, the Tigers came out and finished the period strongly to lead 15-6. With plenty of support in for the Tigers, the boys started fast in the 2nd to open up a 21-8 lead with 2:25 left in the period, however Newry regrouped following a TO to end the period 21-10 down. Newry came out into the 3rd with renewed focus and took the game to the Tigers, taking the period 8-7, however the Tigers were still on course for the win and held a 28-18 lead. Heading into the 4th, the period was fairly even, but the Tigers held their nerves to take the game 38-25. Absolutely fantastic result for these young players and their coaches. This was a really competitive league and the team have performed brilliantly all season.
