The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa tigers begin their premiership defence at Weyba Rd this Saturday afternoon.The defending Hart sports division 1 champs face the Mayne tigers who come up to Noosa after a terrific first round win over a star-studded Aspley in Brisbane last weekend.

It will be a massive day for the Noosa club as all four senior teams compete at home with our newly formed Coolum-Noosa Colts starting the day at 10am. Our reserves follow at midday with the main game at 2pm followed by the Peter Trompf-coached first ever Noosa women’s side who will surely entertain the crowd under lights.

A big crowd as usual is expected as the Tigers unveil several new recruits for season 2020. Blokes like Meredith,Fraser,Rogers,Harper,Stephenson and Collins should turn heads on the weekend whilst usual suspects Laskey,Buntain,Fitzpatrick,McDonald and Maher will be tight among the action.

The form of MCrimmon,Odwyer,Pettigrove and Kenny in last weekends practise match was certainly encouraging to senior coach Adam Bovalino as the ‘ back to back’ mantra becomes a Noosa focus. Plenty happening at the club this week starting with our jumper presentations on Thursday night alongside, of course, selection for the weekend.

Our wood fired pizza oven will again be operating whilst the Tigers juniors also begin their 2020 campaigns this weekend.Good luck to all Tiger teams and don’t miss the unfurling off the 2019 flag at Weyba Rd on Saturday, just prior to the main game.

A massive thank you to all our club sponsors.

Local footy is back and how good is it?
