Easter respite for FQPL
The FQPL competitions have exploded back to life with three rounds now complete heading into the Easter weekend break.
In the FQPL 3 South Coast Men, Alex Morrison’s Kingscliff is leading the way, level on points with 2023 grand finalist Robina City.
Morgan Saunders has been a key man for Kingscliff so far this season.
The 2023 FQPL 1 Men’s Player of the Year followed his former coach Morrison south and has already begun to repay the faith his manager has placed in him, netting a superb hattrick against last year’s premiers Southport last weekend.
Elsewhere, Connor Maguire pulled the strings and Matt Hilton applied the finishing touch as Burleigh Heads overcame Musgrave, while Riley Seath was influential for Gold Coast Knights as they overcame Runaway Bay.
In the women’s competition, Magic United sits atop the ladder on seven points, closely trailed by Palm Beach, which is second with six points from two matches.
Evie Martschinke has been one of the form players for the league leaders and has been ably supported by forward Madi Sabados.
While still early in the women’s season, the premiership race is already shaping up to be a close and exciting battle.
In FQPL 4 South Coast Men’s action, Pimpama City and Mudgeeraba both sit on seven points, with last year’s double winner Broadbeach United on six points.
The FQPL breaks for Easter, and returns on the weekend starting on April 5, with plenty of box office matches ahead. Golden Boot leaders:
4 Matt Hilton (Burleigh Hds); 3 Karl Southern (Southport), Jayden Sonter (Robina City), Morgan Saunders (Kingscliff), Matheus Reis (Southport), Gabriel Oliveira (Ormeau), Jesse Zborovsky (Surfers Paradise Apollo). it’s
