Tigers return to winner’s list

The Rococo Noosa Tigers have belted Cooparoo by 80 points in Brisbane last Saturday to move back into the eight with arch rivals Maroochydore to face this Saturday at Weyba Rd.

To be honest it doesn’t get much bigger with our annual past players and life members day to coincide in the clubrooms from 1pm.

Always a massive occasion but this one even more so with both Sunny Coast powerhouses needing victory to hold on to their top eight positions on the ladder.

Skipper Big Jono Freeman was at his towering best on the weekend booting seven majors as he continues his very consistent year. Echuca champion on baller Sam Willoghby was again gathering the footy at will and was well partnered with Mitch Conn and local talent Mav Pettigrove who all ran riot for most of the day. Ex Brisbane Lions champion Daniel Rich was a terrific foil up forward for Freeman whilst returning ruckman Maccy Johnston battled hard as usual the entire day. Teenager Rory McKenzie again impressive as his improvement continues to energize the Tiger faithful. The ‘Green Slime’ at home this week at 2pm, just not to be missed and once again invite all past players (men and women) and life members to the clubrooms at 1pm for what will be a terrific afternoon of festivities.

The Senior Women went down by 21 points to a well drilled and very skillfull Sherwood at home last Saturday. The Sherwood girls jumped the Tigers early and that was probably the game in the end as the ‘pumped up’ Noosa girls gathered momentum throughout the second half. Amazingly the Tigers crept back into the four after the loss with a bye to come this weekend. A massive month of footy coming up for the Senior women post bye.

The ressies and colts were both beaten by under a goal in what were both good games of footy. Both squads should get some quality back again this week as returning travellers head back from family weddings in the USA. Just on that a massive congrats to Tom and Erin Monahan nothing the knot in the States this last week.

A massive day of footy at Rococo oval this Saturday with our Colts starting the day at 9.30am and the main event being that of our Senior Men from 2pm. Get in early to get a spot these games have for over 50 years created great interest and this will be no different.

Good luck to all sides representing the Noosa Tigers this weekend!
