For our Tiger Mens teams it’s the final game of the year against arch rivals Maroochydore at Weyba rd this Saturday from 9.30am. For our Women this Saturdays clash with Gympie at 4.45pm is their final home and away fixture game before hosting a Preliminary final on Saturday 2 September.
But back onto Super Saturday and off the field plenty happening also. Our final Presidents luncheon gets underway at 11am which includes special guest and globally known ventriliquist Darren Carr. He was that good last year he got a re call. The luncheon also coincides with our mega auction day with so many fabulous holiday packages up for grabs and always our biggest and funnest fundraiser of the year. And if that’s not it it’s also our annual past players day on the lawn with a fully serviced can bar and complimentary sausage sizzle beginning from 2pm.
Just a wonderful day to be a part of don’t miss it.
I once again had the pleasure of umpiring our Senior Womens team last weekend as they continued their dominant season with a 97 point thrashing of Nth Shore. Ragen Mills was again the star of the show in the middle whilst Cass Young, Chip Trompf and Keirra Massoud were once again among the best. Great to see also many of our Senior Women down supporting our Under 17 girls win a thriller against the second placed Redcliffe in front of a very boisterous crowd. The support provided by Peter Trompf and his Seniors no doubt helping our 17 girls get over the line.
Junior Finals begin this weekend and once again the Noosa Tigers are represented pretty handsomely. Our 13 and 15 boys have made the finals whilst our 15 and 17 girls will be competing at the pointy end also. Good luck to teams representing Noosa this weekend.
A big congrats to the St Theresa’s Junior female side who like the Sunshine Beach Senior female team have made the AFLSchools cup Semi finals to be played at Carrara stadium on 29 August. Plenty of Noosa Tigers in the squad which is coached by Premiership stars Kellie Barker and Amelia Monk.
And whilst there will be more to come with this, I could not leave out the fact that our much loved club founder Lenny Daddow was last week inducted into AFL Queenslands Hall of Fame.
What a true Legend!
Go Tigers
