Daicos – a gem at the luncheon

The ‘Macedonian Marvel Peter Daicos did not disappoint sold out crowd at the Noosa Tigers President luncheon last Saturday.

The Magpies’ great was as humble as ever as he relived his footballing journey as well as highlighting the current footballing progress of his two boys Josh and Nick who are stars for the Collingwood Football Club.

Daicos was so accessible the entire day as he continually stopped for photos or a chat to the many Pie fanatics who were in attendance. Another fantastic guest and luncheon with a big thank you to all those that attended and made it what it was.

Our Senior Women made it two wins in a row for the first time since join the strong Division one competition with a gutsy nine point victory over a very physical Sandgate under lights last Saturday. Kiani Pettigrove, playing her 100th game for the club was outstanding for Noosa as was fellow 100 gamer Zoe Wood and the ever consistent Mandy Tessari who really is having some sort of year. Courtney Dial played her part in the victory whilst the debut of 16 year Maya Bovalino did not go unnoticed also. Fancy another Bovalino making a name for themselves at the Tigers!

Great work Maya and also to fellow young gun Ayla Airdrie on making her Senior debut also. Our Senior Women are at home this Saturday at 10am where they play defending premiership Sherwood in what should be an absolute cracker.

The Senior men went down in a disappointing loss to a much hungrier Labrador and whilst a gallant fight back gave the strong local crowd some voice in the final quarter never did the Noosa Tigers look like winning the game.

Ex-Brisbane Lions champion Daniel Rich was the Tigers best with his kicking skills in show and terrific decision making with the ball in hand. Cain Caites continued his fantastic form whilst Mackie Johnston, Gus Byrne and Charlie Bowes were the best of the rest. It was evident that Noosa could not replace the usual inputs of star players Gaul, Horbury and McNiece who all missed through injury.

Our Reserves were well beaten in the first match of the day while our ladder leading Colts continued in their merry way with another near 10 goal victory and ensure that their place on top of the table remains.

All three men’s teams have the bye this weekend.

Good luck to all those teams representing the mighty Noosa Tigers this weekend!
