Dings waited out the Tigers opening intensity as the hosts struggled to orchestrate any meaningful attack.
A stellar 50-22 from Dings Harry Rowson sparked a surge in energy and resulted in two successive team tries from Kenzie Jenkins after 21 minutes and Tomas Gwilliam aft 31, both converted by Tom Knight.
The Tigers came close to scoring a couple of times but mistakes from them and Dings defensive strength left them pointless at the end of the first half.

Tigers made every effort to rebalance the scores in the first half and Warren Seals opened the second half with 2 penalties.
A couple of penalties for talking back to the ref and more errors kept them from scoring any tries. Dings did well to capitalise on these mistakes and a penalty from George Boulton in the 70th minute tipped the score back in Dings Favour.
The Crusaders were formidable in their goal line defence with the Tigers finally getting over in the 77th minute when a sailing pass from captain Matt Riley put Matt Law in.
A final penalty from Boulton saw the Crusaders leave with a victory and a final score of 11-20
