Premier defenders too good for Tigers

The Rococo Noosa Tigers have gone down to the tune of six goals in wet and wild conditions in Brisbane last weekend .

The defending premiers Morningside used the ball far better in the conditions with the Noosa side struggling to transfer the footy the way it has for the majority of 2025.

Local product Will McKenzie was the Tigers best after coming back from a minor calf injury. The in form utility has a poise and calm about him that makes him extremely important to this years Tiger outfit. Charlie Bowes was again in the best for Noosa with he too having a very consistent year with his booming left foot the feature of his work.

Former Echuca leader Gus Byrne gave everything up forward in a day not suited to high scoring whilst Mav Pettigrove and Cooper Airey Bamback were again among the tigers best.

The Noosa team will be sweating on the availability of star on baller Matt Gaul who missed the clash.Gaul is a high pressure in side midfielder who has brought heaps the Tigers in 2025 and all at Tigerland will be hoping he’s back for Labrador at home this Saturday.

The reserves went down to a pretty good outfit whilst Brainy’s colts continued in their merry way with a spirited 10 point win over last years Premiers.Jai Mure and Darcy Dinnage the stars of the show!

And our Senior Women had their first win of the season with a one point victory over Palm Beach on the Gold Coast last Saturday. That’s great reward for the entire playing and coaching group whose improvement has been more than noticeable.Champion on baller Ragen Mills was elite as per usual whilst youngster Ynez Harrop was at her scintillating best in the victory.Milly Monk and Chip Trompf very good also.

All of our Senior teams are back at home this weekend as we welcome former Collingwood great Peter Daicos as our special guest at the Presidents luncheon.It was a sell out very early!
