The Noosa boys belted that out with plenty of gusto after their nail bighting win over sandgate on saturday at hickey park. The game was hard tough game of footy all day long and really there was never a major from both sides all day. The first quarter was close and no clear advantage for both sides. The only thing that was clear in that quarter was, Lucas Matthews and the way he was racking up posessions at will. He must have had 15 touches up to Quarter time and it didn't look like anything could stop him. Matthew Nuss was getting plenty of the ball and by half time the game had been broken open and both side were running and made it a free flowing game of footy. Brendan Forbes was pretty good in that 2nd quarter, marking and kicking a couple of goals to keep sandgate a float. Danny Dickfos was again leading by example marking strongly and beating his opponent quite easily. A tight 3rd quater was like a war and battle wasn't going to be won easy by either side. Luke brauer started to win plenty of the footy and was getting things going in the engin room for noosa and Matthew Nuss was still running rampant for the hawks and with not much between both sides, it was going to be a classic finish to this granf final. Sandgate kicked the first goal of the last quarter and it looked like we had a game of footy on our hands and for about 5 to 7 minutes it was just hard fought footy between the 2 midfields. 4 unanswered goals by Noosa in 10 minutes of tight footy and it looked like the cup was going back up the highway to weyba road. But Brendan Forbes was thrown into the ruck and got things happening and Sandgate started egt the ball going forward at a rapid rate. 3 quick goals and they were with in 7 points of Noosa and runnig forward with every chance of over taking Noosa at the end of the game. But noosas coach threw his captain down back as loose player and he repelled every thrust forward and every time Sandgate went forward in the last 5 minutes, they were stopped in their track by the captain and with last thrust forward by Noosa and the ball at a stoppage the siren went softly and grand final was over and the cup was heading up the highway. Luke brauer was adjudged best on ground but they could have named 3 other Noosa players for that medal on the day
