The top three Woodbridge Cup teams again had wins over the weekend, Oberon’s 62-8 defeat of Cargo the highest score among the three sides sitting on 18 competition points at the top of the table.
Manildra still holds the top position of the three on differential points scored but the Tigers’ 54-point win has closed the gap.
The previous week’s round 9 game was also a points fest for the Tigers with a 66-4 defeat of Grenfell Goannas, and the side has now scored a total of 168 points in their last three games.
Cowra, the other equal first club, will provide the strongest opposition to the Tigers for many weeks when they clash at Oberon on Sunday.
With the easiest draw over the remaining five rounds, if the Oberon side can reverse their first-round six-point loss against the visiting Magpies, the Tigers have plenty of time to score more points than their closest rivals and create an interesting run into the finals.
The club is building to a strong finish to the ordinary season and the possibility of taking the minor premiership if they keep winning.
The leaguetag side took a big hit at Cargo, losing 62-0 to the second-placed Blue Heelers.
Next week Oberon have the bye, and the following week in their round-13 game meet fourth-placed Eugowra at Eugowra.
