Midland Tigers

The Midland Tigers were formed in April of 2001 when Paul Ryan (an expatriate Australian living in Rochfortbridge and a life-long Aussie Rules fan), asked his friend and flatmate Tom Leavy to assist him in setting up a club in the Midlands area. At the time the League were looking for new Clubs, and had been due to start their season when Foot and Mouth disease struck and all competition was suspended - giving Ryan and Leavy the extra time they needed to get the club up and running. The decision to call themselves the Tigers was taken by Paul who is a lifelong supporter of the Richmond Tigers in the AFL. Initially they recruited players through an article in the Irish Times (that saw 14 lads enquire and show up to the first training session), word of mouth, friends and posters displayed around the surrounding towns.
