Former AAPT Brisbane Lions ruck coach Peter Somerville will be hoping for more September success on Saturday, when his Maroochy/Northshore side travels to Noosa for an AFLQ division two semi-final.

While the Lions have bowed out of the finals race, premiership ruck coach Somerville and Maroochy remain active - and the Sunshine Coast derby will decide which team advances to next week's preliminary final against Burleigh. Maroochy beat the Coolangatta Blues by 47 points in last weekend's elimination final.

Springwood host Palm Beach Currumbin in Saturday's other division two semi-final. Both matches begin at 2.10pm.

In AFLQ division one action, Morningside play Broadbeach and Southport square off against Zillmere in a doubleheader at Coorparoo on Saturday from 11.45am.
