Fresh from a convincing victory last weekend over the Caboolture Snakes, the Pirates Division 1 team will be looking to go back-to-back, up against the Caloundra Sharks this Saturday as part of the big Anzac clash at Pirate Park, Tewantin.
The club will have all four Senior teams in action, with the Women kicking off the day at 1pm followed by Under 18 and Division 2 action, with the big game getting underway at 5.30pm.
“The day will also be about highlighting, acknowledging and thanking our current and returned service men and women for the incredible work and service that they have given to our community and country,“ Noosa Pirates President Paul Dwyer said.
“And we are so lucky that our club has enjoyed a long-serving and close relationship with the Tewantin-Noosa RSL who have supported the Pirates in so many ways over many years.
“Rugby league enjoys a close relationship with our ADF, so it will be great if we can get some Pirates’ hometown wins as well for them on the day.”
The Division 1 team is currently sitting in third spot on the ladder after 5 rounds, just one point adrift of the two joint competition leaders and after last weekend’s 42-10 win, the side will be looking to build some good momentum as it heads into some important games in the coming weeks.
“Caloundra will be a good test for us this weekend and we will need to be better again then we were last outing,” coach Brett Winkler added.
“There were still a number of elements to our game that were lacking and we ruined some simple try-scoring finishes that we must nail 100% in the future. We just need to start hitting our game KPI’s as a matter of urgency.”
Game day will feature FREE entry for all current and returned servicemen and women, as will all children 15 and under. Following the main game will be an auction of the special commemorative Anzac jerseys worn by the Division 1 team on the day.
Main game action starts for Division 1 at 5.30pm, with Division 2 from 4.00pm, Under 18’s at 2.30pm while the Women’s team will kick off the day off from 1pm.
