Game Details

In the previous encounter between the sides in Round 7, both sides had periods of controlling the match with the Woods turning a two goal deficit at quarter time into a one point lead at the major break. A dominate display from Tigers big man Brady Dawe in the third quarter saw the Tigers kick five goals to two however the Woods fought back in the last quarter falling short by 12 points at the final siren.

On the day, Ryan Dijksman, Patrick Hillard and Evan Johnson kicked two goals each whilst Eduard Van Den Berg was awarded best player.
