FOGS CUP WIN GRAND FINAL
The Easts Tigers are FOGS Cup Champions after a drama packed match played in sweltering conditions at the Ipswich Reserve. The boys looked down and out when they trailed 10 - nil at half time but fought back in the second half to get back to ten all with around ten minutes remaining. Both sides had desperate attempts at field goals in the final minutes but the scores were still locked at the siren.
The game then went to golden point extra time and the Tigers were awarded a penalty just over forty metres out and almost in front. Despite kicking into the wind, Dane Campbell elected to shoot for goal and somehow the ball fell over the goalpost to the cheers of the large crowd of Tiger's supporters.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EASTS LEAGUES CLUB
It was a big weekend all round for the Tigers as the Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club was named as the BEST Club in Queensland at the Gala Awards Night hosted by Clubs Queensland at the Gold Coast Convention Centre. This was the third time in the past four years that the Club had been voted the Best Club in Brisbane but the first time since 1997 that they have won the top award in the State.
Fittingly, a large group of staff accepted the Board's invitation to attend the function and were able to witness first hand as their hard work was recognised by their peers in the industry. Congratulations to General Manager, Sharna McLean, all her wonderful staff and the thirty thousand members who all help make our Club the best in the State.
