Neptune facing toughest test as daunting Tigers on the prowl

NEPTUNE, with four successive victories that includes a sensational win over DCU Saints in the first round of the cup, face their most serious SuperLeague assignment to date when they host undefeated Tralee Tigers at Neptune Stadium tonight.

Tigers have stepped up a gear since winning the National Cup last season and they have been mauling the opposition since the new campaign tipped off the first weekend in October.

Neptune lacked consistency in the opening weeks of the season but coach Dan Mobbs appears to have discovered a winning formula and the result is their best winning streak in a number of seasons.
