Gripping would be the second. 

Tathra have been at the front of the Far South Coast Football Association competition from the outset and have been on a whirlwind ride of success. 

Meanwhile, after an under-manned start to the season, the Tigresses have gone from strength to strength, conceding just one loss this year. 

With two of the strongest teams in the competition, there was no doubt it was going to be a clincher. 

Periods of play favoured either team, with Tathra controlling the early passages, while Wolumla took control of the midfield play later in the first half. 

With a 0-0 half-time scoreline it was certainly a close match as both keepers kept out any attempts. 

It was Tathra striking first, through a strong run up the right wing 

A solid cross found a Tathra forward with room to move to slot the ball in the left pocket of the net. 

However, the Tigresses fired right back with a goal to Ayla Smith soon after. 

The scores were locked and both teams looked desperately for more opportunities. 

Tathra came heart-breakingly close twice, with a direct free kick inside the box fading wide and a powerful cross sailing past the empty net. 

With just three minutes left to play the Tigresses pressed a forward attack. 

Lee Collimore ran down the ball with a sliding kick just short of the line to find Kirsty McPaul. 

McPaul sent a short floating kick out of the grasp of Tathra's keeper to secure a 2-1 win.
