Good Friday at Rococo Oval with modern day rivals the Noosa Tigers and Wilston Grange going head to head in all three senior men’s grades!
To say we are expecting a huge crowd would be an understatement as it’s the only game of football being played in the state. Both Noosa and Grange fell short in week one of the 2023 QAFL season, Grange in the final minutes after leading Morningside all day while the Tigers started well before a Sharks’ avalanche ruined their party after both the Tigers colts and Reserve Grade took the chocolates in impressive style.
In recent years there has been no love lost between the Tigers and the Gorillas with the QAFL head to head being 2-2.
Popular ex-Noosa assistant coach and player Beama Moloney is in charge of the Gorillas which, of course, adds even more spice to the encounter.
The Tigers will again look to stalwarts Laskey, Fitzpatrick, Buntain and Stack to provide drive and leadership while the form of Flagg, Pettigrove and ruckman Callum Crisp was impressive last week.
Round 1 votes for the 2023 Media Award were:
5. J.Fitzpatrick
4. L.Flagg
3. M.Pettigrove
2. R.Buntain
1.C.Crisp
Good Friday games will look like this:
– 9.30am Colts.
– 11.30am Reserves
– 2pm Seniors.
The Senior Men’s game will be live streamed through our Tiger TV Facebook page or on Youtube.
Just type in ‘official Noosa Tiger’ from 2pm.Commentary from Julian Pitts and Grange director of footy Darren O’Keefe.
A reminder to all patrons that there will be a small gate charge when entering Rococo Oval on Good Friday with no bar due to liquor licensing laws.
Come along and get behind the mighty Noosa Tigers in what will be just a wonderful day of top flight local footy.
Go Tigers
Cheers
