In two weeks, the mighty Tigers will be traveling to San Diego, California to play in the Division 3 National Tournament on October 21st. We have a group of 18 players attending the event so the team is hungry to come out as Champions. Stay tuned for updates as we progress through the tournament!
The Baltimore Washington Eagles Australian Rules Football Club hosted “A Day of Aussie Football in DC” in early September. Both women and men’s teams joined in the Capital for a fantastic day of footy.
The Tigers were looking to continue their winning record against theaus Eagles’ B team as the first quarter was very tight, but the mighty Tigers pulled away in the second quarter. However, don’t underestimate the Eagles as they were able to catch up to only a 4-point deficit. With some big goals from Tiger’s Austin Doerr and Mike Hoffmann, the Tigers were able to seal the deal 59-47!
Apologies for not posting earlier! Towards the end of August, the Atlanta Kookaburras traveled to Tiger territory for a gorgeous Saturday night game. The match was hosted at the beautiful MAC Sport and Entertainment Center with recently renovated fields. The NC Tigers had a huge showing of roughly 30 gents, so we gave a few to the Kookaburras.
The first quarter was relatively even until the first goal was scored by David Seymour, an Englishman and a great addition to the Tigers. The NC Tigers began to pull away in the second and third quarter, but some adjustments on the Kookaburras side in the fourth closed the gap, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers won with a 20-point lead!
We look to continue our undefeated season by playing the Atlanta Kookaburras Australian Rules Football Club in Raleigh this Saturday at 5 PM. Here are the details:

The NC Tigers rolled into Atlanta last Saturday with numbers, hungry for some Kookaburras! It was a high scoring game with a heated battle in the 1st and 2nd quarter, but after some scuffles in the 3rd the mighty Tigers began to pull away for a final score of 123 to 83.
Some notable talent up front by Austin Doerr as he scored the most goals for the Tigers as he was setup by Andrew Piner after some great crumb work.
