AS many of the competitive age teams are gearing up for their final encounters, the Noosa Lions younger teams – who play the small sided Mini-Roo game – are coming to the end of what has been a fantastic fun season at the Noosa Lions.
The 300-plus players go out to hone their skills each week with focus on participation, scoring goals, but not necessarily getting too concerned about what the final score is.
Noosa this year became the largest club on the coast fielding 37 teams from under-6 to under-11s. Each team is looked after by mums, dads, big sister or brother as coaches and managers after the pre-season program run by the club’s director of junior coaching.
The club wishes to take the opportunity to thank all our volunteers for their efforts throughout the year whether on the field or in the canteen.
Meanwhile Noosa Premier Men’s after a long unbeaten streak must have channelled the Broncos and decided to let the opposition have one on Saturday coming up against a determined Maroochydore side.
The Black Swans certainly hit, putting an end to the run in emphatic terms getting up 5-1. Best to get this out of the way before the finals commence in less than a month.
But two wins to finish the regular season are important to guarantee a spot with only five points separating second-placed Noosa from sixth-placed Caboolture.
