The Rococcos Noosa Tigers Senior Womens team have landed themselves in fourth position on the AFLW division one ladder after a superb 49-point victory over Palm Beach under lights last Saturday. In fact the Tiger girls have won four of their last five games to be one of the real dangers as we continue toward the business end of the year.
Coach Rocket McConnon has the girls playing good contested and transitional footy and with the inclusion of Indi Maddin and Amelia Monk up forward are now in a position to kick winning scores. Pocket rocket forward Dani Bishop Kinlyside bagged three goals in the victory with Emily Piercy and usual suspects Tessari and Mills again dominating at the coal face.
As mentioned in previous articles the inclusion of gun youngsters Ayla Airdrie and Maya Bovalino have certainly made its mark on the playing group.
The Senior Womens team now face Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast at 2pm this Saturday in what shapes as a massive game with both sides competing for a finals berth.

The Senior Men were gallant for a half before falling away as expected against ladder leaders Palm Beach in front of a very healthy crowd. The Noosa side have an abundance of top line unavailabilities and will certainly benefit from this weekends inter league bye. All the troops should be available for our next game vs Cooparoo on 12 July in Brisbane.

The Reserves, also undermanned, battled hard the entire day to no avail however their continued efforts of putting up their hand week in week out when decimated by injury and unavailabilities does not go un noticed. Nor does the wonderful achievement of popular tiger Adam ‘Cuz’ Curry who played his 200th Senior club game last Saturday. Great stuff Cuz!
Brainy’s colts continue to impress with a very good hard fought victory over the third placed Palm Beach outfit. The Colts remain equal top of the ladder as they too head into the bye with the rest of the Senior mens teams.
A fantastic Presidents luncheon with guest speaker Greg ‘Fat Cat’ Ritchie having the crowd in fits of laughter for the most part and the luncheon co inciding with the 60th birthday celebration of life member, past player and current sponsor Tony Fitzpatrick. Just a great day had by all and a massive thanks to all those that contributed to make it happen, especially to Rococos our major sponsor for providing the lunch.
Noosa past players(boys and girls) and life members day will be on Saturday 19 July in the clubrooms from 1pm so save the date.
All eyes on the Tiger Women this Saturday.
