The Tigers were focused and determined to make a statement, leading them to walk away with an emphatic 108 - 9 victory over the Vikings.
Bomaderry didn't come out of the gates blazing hot as they were unable to capitalise on a number of early opportunities, however the team's scrappiness and hustle allowed them to still cultivate a 16-1 lead at the end of the first period.
While the Vikings tried to keep up in the second, the pile up of injuries really began to take a toll as the Tigers took full advantage.
Bomaderry shared the ball around and executed a number of scoring opportunities. The backline boys were recognised as being superb in their play, putting supreme defensive pressure on the Vikings players.
At the end of the first half the Tigers were up 53 - 1 over the Vikings.
The pressure and physicality of Bomaderry continued to frustrate Nowra into the second half as they continued to deny them anything easy on the offensive end.
