Tigers roar back

The Rococos Noosa Tigers will hit the ground running after a terrific pre-season as they take on modern day rivals Wilston Grange in Brisbane on Saturday.

The planning and fitness base has been successfully adhered to the our Senior Mens teams are ready and can’t wait for the season to start.

The ‘stay the course’ mindset of the Noosa Tigers will continually get games into their local young brigade as they get stronger and continue to develop with each year. The recruiting has been great and already in the match sim and practise games names like Byrne, Gaul, McKenzie and Bowes have stood tall. Add to this the class of Conn, McCarthy, Pettigrove, the raw efforts of Mackie Johnston and the presence of 2025 skipper Jono Freeman there’s no wonder this group of tigers go into Saturday with plenty of optimism.

Their final practise game under lights at Rococo oval against arch enemy Maroochydore was a good indication that the Noosa boys are definitely on the improve.

Our Senior Women and Under 17 girls enjoyed terrific hit outs last weekend against North Shore with a big thank you to those involved on organising.

The Senior Women play Caloundra this Saturday at Rococo oval from 2pm in their final hit out before their official season begins on April 12.

But all eyes on our men’s teams this weekend and just can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.

Go Tigers
