As our boys headed out to take on the in-form Coolangatta (wearing pink in support of breast cancer) we were expecting a tight encounter front a fast running team and in the first quarter we got exactly what we expected.
With a pacy line up uf skilfull running players, Cooly attacked and counter attacked against our Tigers who looked pretty good too in what was looming as a high scoring shoot out. Trailing 4.2 to 5.0 at quarter time our boys were confident that if they stuck to the task they would get the rewards.
Kicking 7 goals to 2 in the second quarter and then 8 goals to none in the third was apt reward for our boys doing both the hard work and the skilfull finishing required for success.
With Pagey on top in the ruck, Cubby and Brew eeking it out of the packs and Jimmy Brain, Brooks Durdin and Zac Smith finishing off the good work it was a bit of a procession as Noosa first got on top and then ran over Coolangatta.
The last quarter was a little disappointing in that we were outscored 6 goals to 2 however travelling to Coolangatta and picking up a 56 point victory was a great turn around after our disappointing derby last week.

In the Ressies, our boys really played in two halves with the first seeing Cooly kicking 8.9 to our 3.1 and the second seeing us kick 4.6 to the Blues (Pink's) 2.1
Cant give away that sort of start and still take home the choccies but it was great to see the character of our boys in sticking to the task and not rolling over.
Coach Sherrif was happy with the games of Tim Storrer, Alex Swenson, Damian Reichman, Nick Hoekstra, Justin Claney and Brent Dornauf and musty have been happy with Maxy Paterson picking up 4 of the 7 majors
