Tigers claw to victory but Bees take default win

Sheffield Tigers reported no front row before start and the match was played out as a friendly.

Tigers were able to take advantage of playing two extra back row forwards to dominate territory in the first 60 minutes in a hard fought match. Bees defense worked tireseley and but for an interception would have turned around ahead at half time after Seal kick on a loose ball to add to a Robbo penalty and conversion. HT 13-10 to Tigers.

Tigers started hard and fast again and soon broke thro' the center to move further ahead and spent the next 20 minutes pushing hard to make the games safe. Instead the Bees ground them to a halt. Both teams scored tries in this hard part of the match with Robbo touching after some fast ball down the left wing.

The hard working Tigers forwards began to tire and their physio was tending to up to three at a time as the Bees pressed hard to overturn 13 points. This push was stalled with Chrotchy sin bin but the Bees did add two more tries from Robbo and Jack and were unlucky as both conversions only just missed.

A great effort,
Stevo
