Tigers gallant in defeat















Craig Dudley

Tylden hit the road last Sunday to face Kilmore at the JJ Clancy Oval in Kilmore. Facing strong windy conditions, the scoring was limited to the north end of the oval with Tylden registering the first goal on the board. Kilmore had the scoring end in the second quarter and started to stretch their legs before Tylden could plug the hole. Tylden again had the scoring end in the third quarter, but despite some gallant efforts failed to convert all opportunities. Tylden's strong defence came in to play during the fourth quarter and limited Kilmore to one goal. 
Despite going down by 30 points, Tylden's coach Grant Hills is happy his players are showing improvement all the time. 
"It's getting harder to pick the top players of the team as all players are stepping up and showing us what the Tigers are made of," Hills said. 
Jacqueline Hanson received the Subway best player award and the All Conditions Driving School Mars Bar awards went to Carlin Arumets-Smith, Lachie Jackson and Justin McKeone, who kicked Tylden's goals.
Tylden faces Rupertswood Gold in Sunbury this Sunday at 12.30pm. All the kids are hoping to give their mums a win as their Mother's Day present. The Tylden Tigers would like to wish all the Tiger mums a very Happy Mother's Day.
