It's only 1 1/2 hours to go till the Grand Final!!!!!

We decorated up the house for Jake as he is a BIG Tigers fan. I placed a pic below of the house (must be the only one in Country Victoria done up).

After the pic was taken Jake & Harry went silly with the orange & black crepe paper and put it all over the plants and stuff!!!! Jake has filled the lougeroom with all his Tigers paraphanalia. It looks like a Tigers shop!

He is so excited! We are having a party tea tonight for him and his Tigers, so I won't be in here after 7pm until late. We'll be glued to the telly cheering on his Tigers.

He really wanted to wear his Tigers jersey but it is up at Balmain being autographed by the Tigers and it's not back yet. He doesn't know they are doing it for him so shshshshsh!

GO TIGERS!!!!!

so you are supporting the team that knocked you beloved dragons out?

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #7 02-10-2005, 06:07 PM

Yeah, dumb huh! Oh well, Tigers deserve a win for a change. Been a loooooong time coming.

I am happy for the Cowboys too, but I don't want to hurt Jakes feelings, so it's a Tigers household tonight LOL!

LOL! Your learning Kearn!

Yep, the closer the better! 45 minutes to go and the party tea is ready. I'm gone! See you all after the match.

Go Dragons. . . oops . . I mean TIGERS!

I too think the Tigers will win....I am going for the Cowboys but also hope its a close game.....will be dissapointing if the tigers win 30-40 to 0-6

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #11 02-10-2005, 11:07 PM

IT'S ALL OVER!

Sorry to say Tony but it was Tigers 30 - Cowboys 18.

Jake is over the moon!!!!!! He is one happy boy.

The match had a slow start with Tigers looking unplanned and didn't know what to do with the ball. On the other side the Cowboys defended brilliantly. They just kept blowing chances at tries. Just before half-time the game started to pick up pace.

The 2nd half was a different story. Both teams played fast and hard and for a while it was difficult to tell who was going to win. Nail-biting stuff right up until about 3 minutes to full-time. It was looking like a Tigers win and then to seal it the Tigers went in again on the full-time siren.

What a match! After the slow start it became a beauty.

That's all for this report from your IIS sports reporter Ken.

I used to live in Campbelltown as a kid for 6 months and I was practically born in Balmain (Annandale actually) so I am happy with the result.
