22 April 2013: Tigers end season at Kings Head

The Tigers ended their season on a subdued note, going down 5.5-2.5 at Kings Head and defaulting a board due to a no-show.

Despite losing half a match point due to the default, the Tigers will still finish the season in 3rd place in Division 1 of the Middlesex League. This is a tremendous result, which greatly exceeds our expectations at the start of the season. Congratulations to the whole Tigers squad and their captain Adam Raoof!
