Tigers Fixtures

Fellow Rugby Supporters<br/>
<br/>
These are the forthcoming fixtures for the rest of our season.<br/>
Apart from the league and the Cup fixtures,which we still intend to win both,&nbsp;we have five touring sides coming over plus there are two International sides playing Cyprus in Paphos&nbsp;as well.<br/>
We are doing our bit to help the local economy and I am sure they will be a lot of fun and usually good rugby. These will include a couple of Veterans matches, always worth watching the old skillful cunning but usually slower players protesting their innocence and having a great laugh and a great game of rugby at the same time.<br/>
That's what touring sides are all about fun and fellowship, so come on down and help, support and enjoy&nbsp;the Paphos Tigers Rugby Club, from our Colts to our Vets from our minis to our International stars. You know it makes sense.!!!&nbsp;<br/>

Match report v 2nd Princess Wales Royal Regiment (& colts v Limassol)

Paphos Tigers v 2nd Princess Wales Royal Regiment
(2PWRR)
Kiniras Sports Ground 30th Jan 2010.

This table topping clash followed a cracking little 9 a side match between the Colts teams of Paphos & Limassol. Only 20 minutes each way but a good clean and well mannered match, with Paphos Colts running out eventual winners 37 – 17, but full marks to both clubs and their coaches and players for an excellent display of open running youth rugby.

The big match kicked off and within the opening minute a penalty was awarded to 2PWRR with their big army pack forcing errors from the Tigers. Although the kick was missed more pressure from the 2PWRR forwards resulted in a great kick hanging near the Tigers posts which was not properly cleared by the Tigers and the Army winger ran through to collect and sprint the final few metres to the posts to score a good try, duly converted, so taking them into an early 7-0 lead.
Although the army had the bigger forwards the Tigers pack handled them well, with great skills and techniques making up for size, and in the next 30 minutes in a very tight match 2 out of 3 penalties were missed by 2PWRR but Tiger George Agathocleous pulled one back and the score at half time was 2PWRR 10 Tigers 3.

At the start of the second half the Tigers threw everything at the Army and young Scrum half Kyle Kleyn was denied a try and held up just inches short of the line and, unusually, Tiger George missed 3 penalties in the opening 15 minutes as well, as the cross breeze was making accurate kicking awkward.
The score stayed the same until 20 minutes had passed when the Tigers conceded a penalty under their posts for holding on the ground and the easy kick was converted by the Army No15 making the score 13- 3, the Tigers now 10 points adrift.
The pace of the game was frantic, and some fantastic moves by the Tigers were just being foiled at the last moment, and a fast and furious end to end match ensued with neither side being able to make their hard work into points, and yet again the Tigers missed another penalty, denying them the chance to chip away at the Army lead and keep themselves in the match with the clock winding down and only 10 minutes left to play.
Then two tries were scored in 10 minutes.
The first was for the Army when they were under huge pressure from the Tiger forwards they won their scrum on their 10 metre line and cleared with a massive kick up field which fell between the Tigers winger and full back and bounced up beautifully for the Army winger who was chasing up the field and sprinted 60 metres to run in a try totally against the run of play, which was converted taking the Army 20 points to 3 in the lead.
But the Tigers were not dead yet and repeatedly refused to lie down and a 5 metre tap penalty taken by vice Capt Tony Thoma, dummied a pass and drove for the line himself and took three Army forwards with him, but they weren't enough to stop him scoring a great forward's try, converted by George Agathocleous.
The final whistle blew and the score was 2PWRR 20 Tigers 10, and a great match was enjoyed by the two hundred plus supporters.
Although the Tigers lost and were disappointed to do so they showed great spirit, skills and technique and know they could have won this match with better use of the hard won ball. Considering they only had 19 players fit for this massive encounter they did themselves proud and still have a chance to win the league With no match on the 6th Feb the Tigers are hoping the extra week will get 6 of their currently injured players fit and ready for selection for the remaining three league games in February, and the Cup matches in March.

Big Cat Fight - Dhekelia Lions v Paphos Tigers

Dhekelia Lions V Paphos Tigers Joint Services League 23rd Jan 2010 Dhekelia

Dhekelia Lions 29 – Paphos Tigers 7

So the day of the first "Big Cat Fight" arrives. Yet again this fixture had to be rearranged due to pitch & weather conditions in Paphos, so this was played away at Dhekelia.
Rugby is played with a squad of 22 players and all are necessary but unfortunately 6 of the Tigers forwards 14 man squad were carrying injuries so this depleted their back up seriously, so these holes were filled with young Tigers and good old reliable Gary "Sinatra" Thomson who made yet another come back and played brilliantly.
The match got off to a flying start and the Home side Lions narrowly missed a penalty after only 2 minutes, but a hard fought match with the ball travelling from end to end and desperate tackling by both sides to prevent scores being made, kept both teams on their toes and it was 33 minutes before the first score came to the Lions, who created a great try from a short tap penalty, and duly converted to take them to a 7-0 lead.
From the restart a bad kick ahead from the Tigers went straight into the Lions hands and from their own 22 metre they counter attacked and scored again but missed the conversion so the Lions now lead 12 -0, and this score line held until half time.
The Tigers needed a quick score to get back into this game but unfortunately another aimless kick ahead from them resulted in another pick up and counter attack with the Lions getting another converted try and taking them to a good lead of 19-0.
However this was not all one way traffic and the Tigers started to get more possession and their forwards were starting to get the edge over their much larger opponents.
Five minutes late centre George Agathocleous pounced on a loose ball on the Lion's 22 metre line after heavy pressure from the Tigers and sprinted for the line scoring and converting so bringing the Tigers back into this game at 19-7 and another 30 minutes to play..
The Tiger's lineout's were a vast improvement on the previous week with AJ Pugh and Ginge "The Spring" Carruthers doing great work, but it was not enough to claw back the score despite numerous attempts by the Tigers who were just falling narrowly short of scoring, and the Lions took another fifteen minutes before they got another score this time a penalty which took them to 22-7.
This hard battle ensued right into injury time when the Tigers with their backs turned let in an unusually soft try which flattered their opponents score and made the final score Dhekelia Lions 29 Paphos Tigers 7.
This was the first loss of the season for the Tigers and a very hard match had been fought, and both sides were battle scarred bruised and bloody at the end, but a right royal rugby match had been played and enjoyed by both sides and their enthusiastic supporters.
The Tigers now need to go away and lick their wounds and learn to stop aimlessly kicking away such hard earned possession and that will soon get them back into their winning ways
