What a weekend of football coming up as the top of the table Noosa Tigers come up against arch rivals Maroochydore at Fisherman’s Rd in what is just a mouthwatering Anzac weekend clash.
The Green Sline have had the wood on the Rococo Noosa Tigers in the recent past with their last three matches being thunderous losses to the Tigers.
But this writer can sense a fair bit of difference within the mindset of this current group.
The Matt Luenberger-coached Tigers are healthy, fit and brimming with confidence starting the year 3 from 3 and heading into the Easter break sitting on top of the QAFL ladder for the first time in their short 5 year State league history.
The Tigers will be without tireless ruckman and local Sunrise boy Maccy Johnston who must serve a one weeks suspension for a sling tackle against Mt Gravatt.
Big Benny Archard will probably take over the rucking duties along with Paddy Monk so that area remains in good hands.McNiece and McNally will be back in to further strengthen the backline and keep looking for names like McCarthy, Conn, Gail and Horbury to be among the tigers best again. It’s always a super crowd but this will be even bigger!
Our Senior Women make their season first appearance away to Sandgate on Saturday from 4.45pm after their opening can was cancelled due to inclement weather.
All the best to Rocket McConnon and his team as they face last years Grand Finalists!
And all of our Junior teams begin their 2025 seasons this weekend so a massive smorgasbord of local footy.
The Senior men’s game will be live streamed and commentated on YouTube (just type in QAFL live) but please try and get down there and support our ladder leading Tigers.
And don’t forget to get your tickets for the first presidents luncheon with John Longmire our special guest on 10 May.
