EXCITEMENT is building for Coolum Colts supporters as they prepare for their first-ever A Grade Semi Final to be played at Coolum this Saturday, August 31.
The A Grade finished the season as Minor Premiers and will host longtime rivals Noosa Pirates in the Grand Final qualifying game at 5.30 p.m.
When the two teams met two weeks ago Coolum ran out winners in an epic game of football in what long-time player Jackson Shearer described as the most intense game, he has ever been part of as they played in front of the loudest and largest crowd ever seen at the Colts home ground.
Coolum Colts Reserve Grade and U19 will also be playing their semi-finals before the A Grade.
The Reserve Grade take on Caloundra at 4.00 pm and the U19’s take on Beerwah at 2.30 pm.
Club President Simon Kidman said that with three teams playing this Saturday it is a historic moment for the club, and he encouraged all Coolum Colts supporters who have been involved at any level over the years to come along and “fill the hill” to overflowing.
He further added – “Let’s make history together. Wear your colours, bring your energy, and let’s show our teams the support they need to advance further into the finals series”.
