The Rococo Noosa Tigers have been soundly beaten by Mt Gravatt in Brisbane last weekend to put any chance of making finals in season 2023 to bed.
The lowly placed Vultures were more energetic, particularly in the stoppage and clearance area and fully deserved their victory.
In fact, the Tigers just looked down right flat. They were second to the ball from the start and if not for the performances of the usual suspects the result could have even read worse.
Senior coach Chris Rourke felt ‘gutted’ post match saying, “our last three weeks have been a huge improvement, even the loss to Redlands we were well and truly in the game for the most part. And if you turn up flat or unenthused like we looked today this competition will hurt you. We sit 2-7 now so a massive task lies ahead of us”.
Starting with the longest road trip of them Tigers are up against Palm Beach on the Gold Coast this Saturday.
The Tiger Reserves suffered their first loss for the season as an equally as keen and energetic Vulture Reserve grade side controlled the entire day whilst once again Jed Costigans Colts battled hard but to no avail.
Our senior men’s teams head to Palmy this weekend while the all conquering women play Gympie at Gympie from 4.45pm.
