The Rococo Noosa Tigers have been beaten by 10 points after leading for three and a half quarters by a much improved Sherwood last Saturday in front of a strong pro-Noosa crowd.
After a wonderful Presidents luncheon where one of the greatest to ever play the game Wayne Carey did not disappoint in front of a packed audience, our club sponsors were treated to a really good physical game of QAFL footy.
The Tigers jumped out of the blocks in the first quarter banging on 7 goals in the best quarter of footy they have played for the year. A four and a half goal half time lead was taken into the main break by Noosa however it was noticeable halfway through the third quarter that momentum had started to shift.
The much improved Magpie outfit who have won 5 of their past 6 games just seemed to lift their pressure and be running better on top of the ground.
In fact it took until the 16 minute mark of the final quarter for Sherwood to finally hit the front and they held on from there. Disappointing end to what was a terrific luncheon and sponsors day. A massive thank you to all those that put the day together and in particular our major sponsor Rococos for providing the food and heads of Noosa for supplying refreshments.
In fact a massive thank you once again to all our 2024 club sponsors, without you we couldn’t provide the coaching, playing facilities and training expertise require to enter a State league comp.
Plenty of good players for the Tigers but none better than ex Essendon player Ben McNiece who gathered heaps of the footy and really set the game up from his clever left boot. Nathan Horbury and Jai Fitzpatrick continued their in form seasons whilst young Cooper Ogden continues to get more of the footy week in and week out. I loved the game of Tallis Buntain down back whose poise and defensive guile is a treat to watch. Veteran Seb Rodgers was dangerous all day across half forward whilst big Maccy Johnston again gave his all the entire day. Grest also to see big Benny Archard and young Cooper Airey Bamback back in the seniors after really long lay offs.
Last fixture game this Saturday against Brisbane rivals Wilston Grange which is always a beauty.
Auction day at the Presidents luncheon with the hysterical Darren Carr a must see!
Good luck to those teams representing the Noosa Tigers in finals this weekend!
Go Tigers
