AFTER two close losses in the opening two rounds of the season Coburg finally notched a win with a one-goal victory over arch rivals Box Hill at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
In another tight and see-sawing match the Tigers trailed the Hawks by five points at the first break but fought back to reverse this to be in front by five at half-time.
Again the Hawks came at the Tigers and led by eight points going into the final term but the home side held on in the final quarter for a 14.10 (94) to 13.10 (88) victory.
Richmond-listed players Mitch Morton and Jacob King kicked three goals each for Coburg.
Fellow Richmond players Dean Polo and Daniel Connors along with Justin Kahledfeldt and David Gourdis were impressive for the Tigers, while Luke Breust kicked five goals and Sam Gibson chipped in with three for the Hawks.
Coburg coach David Newett said the win was a team effort.
