Tigers go two for two

A perfect start to the season for the Rococo's Noosa Tigers. (Craig Slaney Photography)

The Rococos Noosa Tigers have started the 2025 season in perfect fashion after a solid 25 point victory over their Gold Coast Tigers counterparts at Labrador last Saturday.

The Noosa outfit were quick out of the blocks and were never headed albeit a pretty strong finish from the Chris Rourke coached Labrador. But the damage had been well and truly done with the likes of midfield bull Matty Gaul and the forward presence of ex Geelong VFL captain Angus Byrne standouts. Mav Pettigrove was up and about early like most of the Noosa boys and this writer particually liked the game of Hervey Bay product Kane Cates who looked skillfull and lively across half forward. Curtis McCarthh again was a handful as he will be for most teams whilst healthy and once again Mark Steiner was super impressive for the entire day. A big congratulations to Tommy Sparks for making his Senior debut. Sparksy is one of the most popular blokes at Weyba Rd and has done an amazing job to recover from a knee reconstruction and get himself into the senior side. The Ressies were beaten in a really good game of footy with their Gold Coast opponents just running the game out better. Maaka, Tarling, Langan and Billy Bowes the best for the Tigers.

The Colts also made it two from two which is just so good as they are the future with usual suspects Dinnage, Caspers, Mure, Cooke, Shannon and Brain leading the charge.

It’s a massive first home game for all our Senior teams this week with the men up against Mt Gravatt and our Senior Women up against Palm Beach from 4.45pm.

A day not to be missed as we celebrate sponsors day for season 2025. And of course a massive thank you to all our 2025 sponsors, without you we could not compete in the best competition in the State.

It’s an ‘I pod’ shuffle night to get the social calender started which is always fun and don’t forget to book your tickets to our first Presidents luncheon on May 10 with former Sydney Premiership Coach John Longmire our special guest speaker.
