Tracking nicely


TIGERS TUNE UP: Glenrowan extended its unbeaten run to six straight matches - its best ever start to a season in the Ovens and King Football League - by belting Greta by 68 points on Saturday. Coach Nigel Robinson (pictured) was once again in the thick of the action as the Tigers put the Blues to the sword with nine goals to three in the second term.

GLENROWAN is enjoying its best ever start to a season in the Ovens and King Football League after chalking up its sixth straight win on Saturday.

The Tigers were never troubled by Greta, slamming on nine goals to three in the second quarter to establish a 52-point lead at halftime, going on to win the match by 68.

Coach Nigel Robinson, who won his fair share of possessions early before sitting out the second half with a knee injury, said the Tigers were "tracking nicely", but admitted the real tests were yet to come.

"After we beat Moyhu in round two we really set ourselves the goal to be 6-0, then 7-0 heading into the break," Robinson said.

"We've had a fairly easy run so far, fortunately, but it gets a lot tougher after the interleague break with North Wang and then Milawa."
