Faulkner return outstanding It was a welcome relief for the Tigers faithful to see Luke Faulkner get through the clash with Sandgate unscathed. Faulkner has had a tough start to the season with injury, although any disappointment on field was tempered by the arrival of young Archie in good order a few weeks back. Yesterday, it was vintage Faulkner in the 12 goal win against arch rivals Sandgate as he racked up a ton of possession, kicked 2 goals and took the odd hanger. Spurred on by an encouraging last month of footy the Tigers started the game on song and as Tom Falconer snapped truly early on it looked liked the boys were set for a big one. Shaun Daly monstered his opponents throughout the afternoon and linked up well with his stablemate Josh Duffy. 16 year old Alex Barnes had a terrific day out kicking 3 goals and Liam Bourke had a day out scooting around the forward line. Coach Ferguson was thrilled with the commitment to the contest and singled out the defensive unit for an excellent performance. " It was important to not let the young opposition into the game at any stage and the boys followed the game plan brilliantly. Sandgate were willing and no doubt will be a force in the competition sooner rather than later" The reserve grade also put in a strong performance to lead all day to finish with a solid win making it two years in row that the Tigers have taken out the daily double.
