UNITED FURY
‘WE DIDN’T END ON GOOD TERMS’
HERO OF THE WEEK

VILLAIN OF THE WEEK
Nerang’s Alistair Davis went from hero to villain quickly on Saturday, scoring an equaliser against Broadbeach United before missing a last-minute penalty that would have delivered a 3-2 PL win.

FALLING STOCKS
Having opened the season with back-to-back victories, Gold Coast United’s NPL Women’s outfit have now gone three games without a win and was handed a second straight loss with a 5-1 thumping from Souths United on Sunday.
