The Rococo’s Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers remain on top of the Hart Sports Division 1 Ladder after a solid seven goal victory over Aspley in Brisbane last Saturday. Noosa have now played everyone within the competition dropping only the one game to Maroochydore by a couple of points. On a beautiful day for football and on a ground that had obviously not had the rain our Weyba Road oval has, the Tigers were able to put the Hornets away in the first half despite the opposition putting players behind the ball to restrict scoring.
Isaac McCrimmon was outstanding for the victors in what has been a really consistent year for the skilful Tasmanian. Smooth moving on-baller Jai Fitzpatrick put in another blinder and would be fairing well in both club and league best and fairest counts at the half way stage of the year. Jayden Holt was once again a key playmaker for the Tigers. Footy manager Mitch Woods (who so often seems to go unnoticed) is simply having a superb season as he racked up 27 touches on his wing to again be one of the Tigers best.This Saturday the Tigers are away again as they play Coorparoo in Brisbane before having the bye the following week.
Saturday saw the Reserves head down the Bruce again. Aspley came ready to play and started well. To our boy’s credit and a super effort from the boys down back, we grouped together for a great win. Ryan Torrance and Sam Friend were very impressive with Hayden Brock kicking a nice bag down forward. Evans chipped in with a couple as did Bence, who also managed to flog a sausage roll off Dylan Evans. Good work boys, go Tigers.
