Noack will lead the Stingrays up the Clyde to clash with a combined regional and division four AFL Canberra outfit on Saturday, June 6 at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval, Canberra. 

The Stingrays will be looking to bounce back from a tough loss against AFL South Coast in 2014 when they went down by 48 points. 

With a number of talented young players emerging and returning in 2015, Noack will have a myriad of players at his disposal.

This year the Stingrays will feature a number of capable younger stars to perform at the representative level, which can be complemented  by the program’s experienced players. 

Noack brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the senior position, having previously taken on the senior role when the Stingrays ventured to Wagga Wagga for a highly successful weekend of football.

He also took on the game day coaching role in last year’s return of representative football to the senior competition.

Noack is currently at the reins of the 2014 premiership under 13 Pambula Panthers as well as running the bench coaching role for the senior Pambula team.

Football operations coordinator Jarrod Moore said the rep program was in good hands.

“Paul is a fantastic guy on and off the field while he has shown over the number of years,” Moore said. 

“He has been involved with senior and junior football at club and league levels, he is a great operator and a very tactical coach.

 “Feathers has the ability to gain the respect from the playing group, both young and old which is ideal when getting guys together from different clubs and styles of play.”

The initial squad, which went through its paces on Monday night will meet again next Monday to finalise the 22-man squad.

The final roster will have a training run next Thursday at the Bega Showground in preparation for the trip to Canberra. 

“I have no doubt that the guys that are selected for the team will be raring to go against the AFL Canberra guys and really look to show them what we are about on the coast,” Moore said. 

Following the Sapphire Coast AFL’s game, AFL South Coast will take on a AFL Canberra division three side.
