Tigers will be heading to Barcaldine on the 16th March to play (trial game) against the Sand Goanna’s 6pm @ Barcaldine Showgrounds. The usual amenities will be available. Cold beer,hot food and some great footy action. The game will be an annual game between the 2 clubs with all money raised going towards Semita House in Emerald and Barcaldine Aged care.
The “Wren Cup” came about as we approached Barcaldine in 2012 for a trial but unfortunately it didn’t turn out. Both sides contain a Wren brother(twins). Emerald- Luke and Barcaldine- Mark. Both are fiercely competitive. Both are also plumbers and run their own business’s and are both the Major sponsors for each respective club. We are hoping to forge a good rivalry against the Sand Goannas and make it a fun weekend and raise some money for a good Cause, and hopefully get the first plaque on the trophy of course.
One of the lads to don the Tigers Jersey will be Ex-NRL and Queensland player PJ Marsh in the side. Will hope that having PJ in the side will draw a few more fans so we can raise more money. So if you want to see PJ back on the paddock and say G’Day to the former Maroon come down for a 6pm kickoff.
