ONE DROUGHT WILL BE BROKEN THIS WEEKEND IN THE PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP GRAND FINAL

On saturday the Noosa tiger take on Sandgate at Hickey park in what could be a classic grand final. Noosa are looking to break a 11 year drought and Sandgate are looking to break a 16 year drought. Sandgate made it through to this years grand final by beating Noosa who finished up being the minor premiers after 18 rounds. Sandgate started the season off like a house on fire and looked like they were un stopable and on their was to top spot and on their way to romp it in for the flag. But as it always happen, injuries hit them hard and left a big hole in their list and the tigers pounced. The tigers have been more consistant than anything this year and with Lucas Matthews coming back to the club after winning the best and fairest at aspley last year, has been at his best again this year in the midfield. The tigers are looking exact revenge on losing last years grand final to palm beach after winning through to the grand through the second semi final against the same team. Sandgate have a lot of seasoned veterans in their team of the like of Danny Dickfos and Rob Lucas who both have played 35o+ state league games under their belt. The game will be won in the midfield and i do believe Sandgate might just have an edge in that department and the the clearance work will be crucial to who wins this game of footy. I am going to tip the local boys in a thriller and there will be at least 3 fights, 1 on the ground and 2 in the crowd
