Noosa Lions Football Club are already celebrating with four teams winning the premiership in 2024.
The most high profile, the Under 23 Men, going through the second regular season in a row undefeated. With 18 wins and two draws the team finished 15 points ahead of its nearest rivals and with a goal difference of 76.
Coached by the club’s technical director, Mathew Digwood, the side features a great mix of skill, speed and teamwork and will be looking to take out the grand final in three weeks’ time.
The under 14 division 1 boys also took out the premiership for the second year in a row and were joined by the under 14/15 and under 13 div 2 girls teams.
Club president, Brian Stockwell was most happy to acknowledge the success flowing from the 75 per cent increase in female membership in the club this year.
“It is great to see that of the 15 sides that made it through to the finals, five were from our women’s and girls’ ranks”.
“Our premier women, like our premier men finished second in their competition. Our Under 23 Women built their performances during the year to come in fourth.
“With 13 clubs in the Sunshine Coast Region, it is no easy task to get to the finals, but seven out of our eight senior teams made it through to contest this weekend’s semifinals. Together with two of our four under 18 and the two under 14 boys’ sides, together with the U13 div1 boys and Under 13 div 3 girls will join the premiers in another strong show of force by the Lions.”
