Match Report: Jersey Flegg Cup Round 9 vs Bulldogs

The Tigers posted first points of the match after just five minutes when winger Will Craig crossed out wide before the home side returned fire with back-to-back tries to establish a 12-4 lead at the break.

Wests Tigers centre Maxwell Taotua found the line just one minute into the second half, converted by Zakauri Clarke, to get it back to 12-10.

Bulldogs five-eighth Cassius Tia scored for the home side just minutes later, converting his own try to extend their lead to 18-10.

The trying conditions made for a defensive slugfest for the next 20 minutes before Bulldogs winger Ragarive Wavik crossed to put the game all but out of reach for the Tigers.

A tough loss for Wests Tigers brought to an end a three-game losing streak ahead of next Sunday’s match against the Knights at Lidcombe Oval.
