The Rococo Noosa Tigers have been dealt an enormous flogging in their last home game of the year by a much bigger stronger and well rehearsed football team.
Yes, the fourth placed Wilston Grange who needed a victory to secure a home final were just unrelenting.
Their pressure and ball movement a stark contrast to the young Tigers who after last weeks promising display just looked so flat.
A very disappointing way to finish our 2024 campaign and I’m sure once the dust settles there’s plenty of off field work and positive decision making that needs to be done moving forward.
The positive of the day was popular Colts captain Jed Bullman kicking a goal on debut which had the crowd on their feet. Another teenager who deserved his chance and as per usual had a red hot go.
Mitch Conn, the Brian Trist medallist adjudged by the Trist family as Noosa’s best player, was clearly that. The favourite and current leader of the Senior Mens best and fairest (with four rounds to be read out on Presentation Night) has just had a superb season and his efforts on Saturday when the ship had well and truly sailed early were noticed by most of the grieving Tiger faithful. Skipper Lachy Flagg battled hard as usual, Cooper Ogden continues to grow as a senior footballer whilst Rodgers, Jai Fitzpatrick and Cooper Airey Bamback were among the best for the home side.
A great luncheon and auction day with comedian Darren Carr having the place in fits of laughter. Thanks to all those that attended and made the day a fantastic success.
Both our 15 and 17 girls teams lost their elimination finals on tight games so footy all over for the Noosa Tigers in season 2024.
Upcoming events include the Junior presentation night on Friday 30 August and the Senior presentation Night on Friday 20 September.
A big congrats to the Noosa Dolphins who again triumphed in the Sunny Coast Rugby competition and good luck to all those representing Noosa in up coming finals.
Cheers
