The Rococo Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers have moved into 4th place on the AFLQ division 1 ladder with a comfortable 23 point win over Coorparoo at Weyba Road last Saturday. It's the second win a row for the tigers who set up the victory with a dominating second and third quarters. Whilst it appears the tiger faithful were slightly disappointed with the final stanza with Coorparoo clearly out pointing the home side; an extremely physical encounter with Maroochydore the week before looked to have played a part. All credit to Coorparoo’s persistence to fight back which showed why they have won 3 of the last 4 premierships in their respective division.
There were plenty of good players for the victorious tigers but none better than gun recruit Tommy Templeton who once again took the game on with sheer strength, pace and a lethal left foot. His explosions out of the middle very noticeable the entire day. Jai Fitzpatrick again was in everything particularly early racking up close to 30 touches whilst the cool head of recruit Barry Smeeton was again on display. I loved the teamwork and continuity of ruckman Coleman and McDonald who seem to be getting better each week. The tiger defence again was outstanding lead by the impressive Aaron Laskey who again produced a master class. Veterans Tommy McKittrick and Gary Wallace cleaned up everything as they have done for years whilst debutant footy manager Mitch Woods showed he has played some good footy. Skipper Harry Opie was also a solid contributor on the day for the Tigers.
All in all a very satisfying tiger victory to back up the Maroochydore win the week before .This Saturday it's Caloundra at Caloundra in yet another mouth-watering contest not to be taken lightly. A big thank you to guest speaker Pat Welsh who was absolutely fantastic at the President’s Luncheon. He also had the enthusiasm to stay and watch the Noosa victory and join in some after match festivities. Once again another great day had by all with a big thanks to all those involved. See you at Caloundra this week and go tigers!
Cheers pittsy
