Big footy weekend

A very big weekend of footy for the Noosa Tigers with our Senior men and colts having their final hit out before the season proper and our juniors hitting the grounds for week one of grading games. Only our Senior women had the weekend off. Speaking of our senior women 2020 Premiership coach and Tiger playing legend Peter Trompf is back at the helm after respected football figure Graham Burgen was unable to continue due to work and travel commitments. A big thank you to Burgs for his commitment and of course guiding our Senior women to last years flag.

Our senior men finished off their pre season practise match with a commanding and thumping win over Caloundra at North St last Saturday. Dual premiership star Tyler Stack continued his great pre season form racking up 34 touches whilst new recruit Tommy Baulch was also a standout with something happening every time he touched the footy. Leaders Jai Fitzpatrick and Aaron Laskey were again prominent as Noosa now head down to the Gold Coast on 2 April to take on the might of defending champions Broadbeach.

Attention for this weekend now centres around our season launch on Saturday afternoon where we welcome all sponsors, members, supporters, players (senior and junior) from 1pm with the bar open, live entertainment, an introduction of our new coaches and players and also a players auction to go with it. Food will be supplied by our major sponsor Rococo bar and bistro in what promises to be a fabulous afternoon.

Don’t miss it.

More Junior grading games across the coast on Sunday including several at Noosa as our junior season gets rocking.

We still require volunteers to help out with all teams and especially in our canteen. Please call Julian Pitts on 0409 554 429 if you are able to assist.
