BULLETIN’S WEEKLY FOOTBALL REPORT

HERO OF THE WEEK

For the second time this season, a Jarrod Kyle strike handed the Gold Coast Knights three crucial NPL points on Saturday night. The 1-0 victory over Lions followed a Kyleinspired 3-2 victory over Western Pride in Round 2.

VILLAIN OF THE WEEK

A day after telling the Bulletin

he was a changed man, notorious bad boy Tolga Yorulmaz almost cost his side dearly after being sent off in Nerang’s 2-1 Premier League win over Coomera.

RISING STOCKS

Broadbeach United are well and truly in the Brisbane Women’s Premier League title mix, sitting equal-top after stretching their unbeaten run to five games with a 5-0 thumping of North Brisbane on Saturday.

FALLING STOCKS

After starting the Premier League season with such promise, Tweed United were a shambles in their 10-1 loss to Burleigh Heads on Saturday. Heads will roll if their horrid form continues.

GOSSIP CORNER

■ One of the coaches from Saturday’s Round 4 Premier League battle between Nerang and Coomera may have an interesting story to tell as to why Football Gold Coast couldn’t publish their postmatch interview online.

■ Was there more than meets the eye to Matt Hilton’s omission from the Burleigh squad that thrashed Tweed 10-1 at the weekend? His absence, put down to injury, certainly raised a few eyebrows.
