The 2009 Lachlan Tigers Slowpitch Team




The 2009 Slowpitch Season commenced at primrose Oval, Northbridge last night (Tuesday 3rd November), when the might Lachlan Tigers took on the might of the Wombats. In a reply of last years Grand Final the Wombats proved too strong for the Tigers running out victors by 18 runs to 14.
The 2009 Wombats defeat the tigers 18 - 14.



The tigers looked resplendent in their new uniforms which were supplied by walkin promotions (http://www.walkinpromotions.com.au/ ) and approach the upcoming season full of confidence after last years successful premiership. As Scott Mitchell commented " I'm going to hit them out of the park!" and he started the season in that confident manner hitting not 1 but 2 home runs. The other stars for the Tigers included Pierre Munk with 2 runs. Richard Aouchan with 1 and Sharon Bowie great play in the out field. A special mention goes to Arthur Dacey who attempt at a diving catch 'awe inspiring'.


Our gratitude to Softball NSW, especially general manager Cathy Kerr, who's dedication is legendary and ensures athletes with disabilities are part of the softball family.


We look forward to a great season. You can catch us every Tuesday evening at primrose Oval, Northbridge from 6 - 8 pm.


Go the tigers!
Michael season opener: 1 run, 2 outs.

What a great result at the State Futsal championship

The Lachlan Tigers A Grade Team


The Lachlan Tigers were sensational at the 2009 State Futsal Championships at Hawkesberry Indoor Stadium.






In a tight contest in the A grade division the tigers played the DSA Raptors who were the hot favourite for the trophy. A great game followed with the tigers racing racing out to a 3 - 1 lead at half time. However the second half was a different game as the raptors came charging home. Even thought he tigers scored first to go to a 4 - 1 lead the raptors kept coming and tied the game up with a couple of minutes to play. During this time both teams hit the post but the ball refused to go in and as the whistle blew for full time the score was locked together at 4 - 4.






In the first period of extra play a long range shot from "Man of the match" Michael found the top left corner of the net and the Raptors ended up winning a game that was a credit to the players, coaches and spectators.


The victorious DSA - Raptors A Grade team.


In the B grade grand final the lachlan Tigers were victorious against the Roselands Giants by 6 - 3. The game was played in great spirits and the tremendous efforts of everyone was great to see.
The weekend was a great success for the initial running of the 'Futsal4all' program. The guys all had a great time and enjoyed immensely the opportunity to be part of such a great competition. To witness first hand the skills and dedication of these futsal teams to be part of this competition is awe inspiring.
We look forward to going from strength to strength.
