Cubba's 150th

Everyone at the Tiges congratulates Matt 'Cubba' Hecker on reaching his 150th VAFA game. Little Cubba joined the club in 1988 as a 6 year old and played three season in the U9's before playing right through the ages to the senior sides. All told he has pulled the Tiger jumper 280 times since and now wears a much, much bigger jumper as his nick name suggests. He still possesses the silky ball handling skills of his brother Sam and Michael (dec). His game stats may not equal those of his mighty brothers, but his love of the game is there for all to see. Matt is a great person to be around with his dry wit making Brindisi Street a good place to be. Well done Cubba on achieving this milestone. Full story.  Posted: 29/06/2009

Last Sunday saw our seniors players come down and support all the junior teams playing at Brindisi St. Great feedback from coaches and team managers with all the senior guys getting involved as water carriers, boundary umpires and motivators for all the boys. An inspiring speech from Jack Hellier at 3/4 time saw the U13 boys kick consectutive goals in the last last quarter. Stirring stuff! Thanks again guys for making the effort to get down to the games and to Brett Collins one of our senior players, for organizing all the seniors signing up for the day. Only 2 winners for the day in the U15s and U9 red with the U16s having the bye. Great efforts by all the other teams though and the U15s still remain undefeated. Great stuff! No match reports this Sunday the 28th with school holidays upon us so we will resume match reports on Sunday 12th July. Good luck to all teams this weekend.'GO TIGERS'. PS. HAVE A SAFE HOLIDAY TO ALL. Full story. Posted: 24/06/2009

Members were saddened to hear of the passing yesterday of John 'Tiny' Crozier. John was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2004 after an outstanding 150 game career.

The Herald Sun ran the following story last Monday. "James Morris catapulted Sandringham back into TAC Cup finals contention with a seven goal haul in the Dragons' 86 point win against the Oakleigh Chargers. Sandringham kicked 14 goals to one after halftime at Warrawee Park, to win 21.9 (135) to 6.13 (49). Winless after five games, Sandringham has strung together three straight wins. While captain Patrick Liston and Jake Lew, who chipped in with three goals, were impressive, it was 16 year old Morris, in only his fourth game for the club, who stole the show." James and Pat are both SBMT U19 players. Full story. Posted: 16/06/2009

St Bedes/ Mentone Tigers returned to the winning list when it downed Marcellin by 65 points at Brindisi Street. The first quarter was a test of strength as Marcellin challenged the Tigers physically to see if their was a chink in their armour after successive defeats but as expected the home side replied in kind with a brand of hard, contested footy they've been renowned for. Next Saturday at Brindisi Street the Tigers take on the surprise-packet of the year in old rival De La Salle, who have only lost one game to date, with the prize being second place on the 'A' Section ladder at the half way mark of the season. The Reserves again had a resounding 96 point win and are now starting to get their season back on track while the U19s got over the line with a tight 8 point win against Rupertswood. Full story.
