The Tigers demonstrated their heart and soul in Saturday's game against the Macquarie Raiders in Dubbo.

Despite both reserve grade and first grade coming home defeated, the boys showed what they're made of.

In first grade the Tigers capitalised on some poor playing and missed opportunities by the Raiders.

Nyngan missed key players, Jacob Neill and Reece Goldsmith, who were representing the region at the Western Rams.

But Mitch Rixon, Jone Yacdrau and Cameron Bourke shone through with tries in the first half making it 16-6 when the boys hit the sheds at half-time.

Unfortunately the Tigers weren't able to get it over the line in the second half going down 22-16 to the home team. 

Reserve grade also came home empty-handed losing 32-4.
