The Rococos Noosa Tigers Senior Womens team have made it three wins in a row for the first time since moving up into the strong Division one AFLW women’s competition.

In fact to make it even more impressive the Tigers last two wins have been against 2024 Grand Finalists Sandgate and Sherwood. The Noosa girls have a real belief in their game plan at the moment and the inclusion of young faces like Maya Bovalino, Ynez Harrop, Ayla Aidrie and Yani Delaney Taylor has been added energy to the team. Indi Maddin also playing her first game of the season adding some real class to the Tigers outfit. Maddin booted two goals in the win over Sherwood with best afield Amelia Monk bagging two also to keep the Noosa girls in equal 4th position with Broadbeach awaiting the Tigers this week on the Gold Coast. It’s great reward for Rocket McConnon and his team whose improvement has been just terrific as the season wears on. As mentioned earlier another great performance by Maya Bovalino and the debut of Yani Delaney Taylor including kicking a goal was a highlight. Amanda Tessari continued her brilliant year thus far with another stand out performance whilst Emily Piercey and Emma Lewis were among the best also.

Great stuff girls!

Our Senior mens teams come back from a well earned bye to play the very strong Redlands at Victoria Point.

The Senior men will be sweating in the injury concerns to key playmakers Gaul, Horbury, McNiece and Will McKenzie whose absences are not what we want at this time of the year and fighting hard to stay in the finals race.
