Barnawartha Tigers back themselves for Hawks grand final
Tigers midfielder Kaiden Withers says Barnawartha have narrowed the gap since losing last year's grand final by 66 points.
The Tigers face Kiewa-Sandy Creek in Saturday's TDFL grand final. Nine of 11 rival coaches tipped the Hawks, but Barnawartha midfielder Kaiden Withers says the Tigers have improved significantly.
Barnawartha lost last year's grand final by 66 points and went down by 30 points in the semi-final. Barnawartha midfielder Kaiden Withers says the team has narrowed the gap and is ready.
"We only have to beat them once now," Withers said. Coach Adam Mudra has told the team to focus on Saturday and making the most of their chances.
Poor goal conversion cost them in the semi-final, so execution will be crucial against a Hawks side the Tigers respect.
