The Noosa Tigers women’s teams have a advanced to their fourth consecutive grand final with a devastating 93-point victory over modern day rivals Pine Rivers in front of a large and vocal pro Noosa crowd at Rococo oval last Saturday night.
The Tiger girls’ pressure from the outset was just too full on for the 2022 runners up who were consistently gang tackled and chased down from all over the ground.
The skill of the Noosa girls was also a stand out set up by American Erin McLsughlin whose tap ruck work and forward finishing was the highlight of a fantastic opening stanza. Keirra Massoud once again had an enormous bearing on how the result would go with plenty of quality possessions and some lovely high marking. And gun onballer Ragen Mills was just unstoppable. Rags gathered more than 30 disposals for the night but it was her fight and fierce contest for the footy that set the tone for the tigers. Cass Young was outstanding up forward bagging four majors and was a constant headache the entire night whilst Amelia Monk across half back just controlled everything and was as clean as when using the ball.
But really overall just a wonderful team effort from a group of girls who now head to Moreton Bay this Sunday to take on Caloundra and attempt to be the first ever team from the Noosa Tigers (junior or senior) to win four flags in succession.
More details regarding supporter buses will be advertised later in the week.
Speaking of girls a massive congratulations to Matt Cook and his Under 15 girls who became premiers and champions last week with a thrilling two-point extra time victory over North Shore at Maroochydore.Great stuff girls!
Our Under 13 boys were gallant but went down to Kawana by 13 points in a really good game of junior footy. Congrats on making it to the big dance boys and I’m sure there is plenty of success coming in the future.
A big thank you to Rebecca Breen, Erin Green and fellow junior committee members for organising what was a fantastic junior presentation day/night.
I can’t remember one being as big or as fun!
And of course to Ben Parker, Cooper Mackay and Raff Baviello congratulations on taking home league best and fairest awards at the league medal count last week.
All eyes of course on our senior women this Sunday at Moreton Bay.
‘Tigers roar as we hunt #4’ is the catch cry.
Go Tigers
