It is always interesting that Maroochydore seem to wear the "them against us"thing about our local derbies with greater relish, but under grey skies and kicking with the breeze it certainly served them well as they raced to a 32 piont quarter time lead with some great footy and great celebrations.
For our boys the coach clearly set the agenda at quarter time of hauling in the lead and moving toward victory over the next 90 minutes of footy. And the boys displayed the professionalism that has stood them so well over recent years to do exactly that.
In the last 3 quarters, Noosa added 15 goals to 5, including 7 in the second, with perhaps the "Premiership"quarter the most significant and grinding.
Punky Brewster (7 goals) and Bocky Eady (2) were again the key targets up forward whilst Nathan Winter followed up last week's return to form and Cubby, Brooks Durdin and Tommy McKittrick were great in winning more midfield ball than the opposition.
Good to see Stuey Allen find the ball more in Senior company with an excellent performance.
The win was just one more step to a top 3 spot and our boys still enjoy the best percentage in the comp which could become vital at the business end of the season.

In the Ressies, our Tigers burst out of the blocks and then hammered out their dominance with an 11.6 to 0.3 first half based on a fantastic effort from Alex Corrigan who ended with 6 goals and was clearly best for Noosa.
Although the second half was a bit more pedestrian as the boys tired, their eventual 91 point victory does their finals aspirations no harm.
Rhys Preston was again impressive and Dom Waterman bounced back into form back in the Two's whilst the loyal Chayse Tilley showed his class, and Maxy Paterson kicked 3 in support of Corrigan's 6.
