The Batemans Bay Tigers (or sometimes simplified to Bay Tigers) are an Australian rugby league football team based in Batemans Bay, a coastal town of the South Coast region. The club is a part of Country Rugby League and have competed in the South Coast first grade competition since 1978. Prior to this, they were a part of Group 16 Rugby League (Far South Coast).[1]
History
Group 16
Like many other rugby league teams, the Tigers started out as a Rugby Union club before Rugby League came to the area. They have been a part of Group 16 Rugby League before switching to Group 7 in 1978.
Group 7 (1978-)
The Tigers were quickly successful in snatching their first premiership in this group in their second season. The Tigers would go on to win a further three titles, one in each following decade (1988, 1992, 2002). Their last premiership came off the back of three grand final losses to Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles (30-16 and 31-18 in 1999 and 2000 respectively) and to the Shellharbour Sharks in 2001. They beat the Milton/Ulladulla Bulldogs at their home ground in the grand final win in 2002
Colours
The team's colours are Black and Gold, with their emblem adapted from the NRL side, the Wests Tigers.
