With persistent showers soaking the ground and turning the ball into a cake of soap, neither side adjusted to the conditions and the top of the table clash turned into an ugly scrap.

The Wolves had looked set to continue on their winning ways as they raced out to a 10-0 lead inside the first ten minutes.

Centre Matt Hall crossed for the opener, before winger Michael Fualalo found himself on the end of a slick backline move to dive over in the corner. Trevor Bolt converted from the sideline to give the Wolves an early advantage.

In the twentieth minute, a mistake in the Windsor half allowed the Entrance to turn a well-rehearsed inside ball into points as their fullback dived over under the posts to score untouched.

Both sides became frustrated with errors and poor completion rates. A Windsor ruck infringement nine minutes out from the break led to another Tigers four-pointer. The successful conversion gave the visitors a 12-10 lead at halftime.

The Wolves were unlucky to go further behind in the opening stages of the second half, when a horrible pass found the boot of the Tigers winger who re-gathered and scored.

But luck soon turned in favour of the home side, as a Tigers pass on the Windsor 20 metres line was plucked from the air by Trevor Bolt, who streaked 80 metres and converted his own try to level the scores at 16-all.

As the rain tumbled from above, the dour affair became scrappy and ill-discipline crept into the Windsor outfit.

Skipper Ben Stewart was irate after a series of back-to-back penalties gave the Entrance all the favours late in the half.

The deadlock was finally broken when from a scrum 20 metres out from the Wolves line, the Entrance halfback placed a kick behind the defence for his flying winger to dive on and score adjacent to the posts.
