R16 v Richmond

[Splodge]

Lloyd - get in

[Boyler_Room]

Polo tries to handball ? NLM steals it but loses the ball... Brown snaps and replies to the Lloyd goal pretty quickly.

[Boyler_Room]

Brown crumbs again inside a minute and snaps another goal. Tigers up by a point.

[dom_105]

Laycock, please.

[dom_105]

Thank the lord.

[Boyler_Room]

Laycock pulls his finger out and takes a mark... and follows up with a goal! Back in front!
That was Reimers' goal. We need a few more of those! 5 points up with half the last quarter gone.

Kane Johnson gets the free inside 50 and will line up to put them back in front.

[Boyler_Room]

Going forward Hille steals the ball from Edwards and weas caught holding it... immediately bang bang bang and Simmonds is lining up to put the Tigers in front by 2.... on the way and goal.

Tigers in front. Weary Dons. I don't want to call it but I hope this game isn't gone now. One player on the bench is going to kill us.

[dom_105]

Holding on by a thread.

[Boyler_Room]

Kane Johnson misses... and now Brown goals. 9 point lead for the Tigers with Hille off the ground taking a much needed rest.

We're gone.

[The Man from Bomberland]

Can't get it out of their 50m arc apparently.

[Boyler_Room]

10 point margin to the Tigers with McMahon having a ping from 50.

Big run forward for the DOns... Jetta goes for the flyer but misses. Easy take away for the Tigers. McPhee holds them up on the wing. Time on ticks over.

[Boyler_Room]

Reimers making a big effort to try and get us over the line... but he's hooked it and misses. 9 points down 23 minutes gone.

[Boyler_Room]

Lloyd went for goal of the year kicking over his head... didnt make the distance and the Tigers clear. Really needed that goal. This is going to hurt us going the other way. We can't keep up with tired legs.

[dom_105]

Have to man up

[dom_105]

Redeem yourself Laycock

[The Man from Bomberland]

ugh...

[Boyler_Room]

Inside the final minute... Stanton misses. 6 points the difference. Bowden concedes a behind... 5 points. If we can trap it here with only seconds left we can win this game.

[The Man from Bomberland]

We had our chances to snatch it. It was an admirable loss but f*** it hurts.

[Boyler_Room]

Bowden concedes another... and another? Kicks to McMahon and there goes the siren. So was it 3 or 4 points in the end?

Laycock, Stanton, Reimers and Lloyd all had the chance to give us the goal to put us in front in the last few minutes of the game. None of them could kick the goal. Tired legs hurt us, but we had our chances.

[Ossie]

Laycock you are a disgrace. No bottle. I can deal with no talent, see Damien Peverill, but he works his bollocks off and Laycock has no appetite for the battle.

Shithouse.

That said, I am very proud of the side today. Undermanned, one fit man on the bench, 14 men on the injured list and no Dustin, I am still a proud Bomber.
