National 2 North League

07/05/22 Tigers 17 - 36 Rotherham

Sheffield Tigers fell to defeat to Rotherham Titans at Clifton Lane in their final match of the National Division 2 North campaign. The game had been re-arranged due to covid-19 and both sides were slightly understrength for a rare May fixture. Indeed that may partly explain the relatively disjointed play by both sides in the opening half hour. Tigers led through an early penalty but in a manner somewhat similar to the Dore Moor encounter between the sides only a fortnight ago Rotherham notched five unanswered tries either side of the interval to settle the outcome. Tigers were handicapped by a yellow card during this period and indeed Titans scored 19 points with the man advantage, which coincidentally was the winning margin at the final whistle. Tigers again showed some fighting spirit though in scoring the last two tries of the match, firstly Sim Meek finishing off a set of forwards drives, and then Harrison Astley spectacularly completing a dashing backs move. Rotherham finished with a successful penalty kick in the last play of the game.
