WEEKLY GOLD COAST FOOTBALL REPORT
HERO OF THE WEEK
Teddy Watson remains on track for the Gold Coast Premier League’s Golden Boot after finding the net four times in Surfers Paradise’s 11-0 thumping of Tweed United on Friday night.
VILLAIN OF THE WEEK
At the other end of the scale, Tweed’s horror season continued at Arkinstall Park and they have now conceded 44 goals in just nine games.
RISING STOCKS Southport produced their best performance of the season in the Brisbane Women’s Premier League on Sunday, ending Peninsula Power’s eight-game unbeaten run with a 3-2 win on the road.
FALLING STOCKS Broadbeach United had shown some positive signs to climb into the Premier League’s top four, but their 5-1 loss to Burleigh Heads on Saturday proved they are still a long way off the pace.
GOSSIP CORNER
■ Don’t be surprised if one Premier League coach doesn’t see out the season. Word is this mentor is almost at the end of his tether.
■ Football Gold Coast’s announcement of a funding promise to finally build a permanent home again proved there’s no shortage of pessimists in the local football community. What should have been a seminal moment for the governing body was quickly turned into something negative by the Facebook brigade.
