It was a wet Anzac Day clash in 2010 when the Roos Senior squad had last tasted victory against Noosa. They'd had their chances in the five years following but somehow Noosa willed their way to victory in each of the clashes. Players from both teams had come and go in the following years yet the hoodoo remained. But it ended at the weekend.
The final scoreline showed a 10 goal victory the Roos but the battle was much clsoer than that. In a low scoring affair, the two teams arm-wrestled for the upper hand for the first three quarters before for the dam wall broke in the final stanza and the Maroochy boys romped home in front a boistrous home crowd.
Jason Ainsworth was judged Best of Ground for the Roos however it took a full team effort to break a resilient Noosa determined to hang on to bragging rights.
The result all but sealed second spot for the Roos and the all important double chance. However, for now the boys will enjoy a light pool-session on Tuesday before getting themself up for Aspley on Saturday.
Finals footy is just three and half weeks (two rounds) away.
In other games, the Reserves undid their previous weeks hardwork and were easily beaten by Noosa; the Colts were dominant against Redland with Harrison Kerr banging 10 goals; while the Thirds went down to Gympie in the top of the table clash.
