FQPL3 South Coast side Kingscliff Wolves. Our mens side so far have had a fairly easy pre-season against sides in lower divisions that set up very well defensively which has given the lads a good chance to gel in attack however very little opportunity for our defence to be tested. New players Tyson Walpole and Rhys Webster have slotted into the lineup seamlessly adding extra quality to what was already a very impressive lineup. Rhys Phipps will want to continue his goalscoring form from last year where he netted 38 goals in 21 games. The lads will be relishing a genuine test this weekend up against another well drilled but certainly a much higher quality side than what they have come up against so far and will want to ensure they kickstart their campaign with a solid performance and result taking them through to third round next weekend. The u23s will also continue their pre season against the Kingscliff u23s before hand at 4pm. Be sure to come down to The Summit on Saturday night to support the teams!

The Opposition

Kingscliff Wolves finished 5th last season in what could be considered a very underrated and strong

FQPL3 South Coast. A club with big ambitions similar to SUFC - will certainly provide a big test for our FQPL4 men’s side.

The Opposition

Caboolture FC gained promotion via default having finished 3rd in FQPL3 last season - with that said they have taken the opportunity in their stride having signed former Sunshine Coast Wanderers NPLW coach Cory Robins as head coach for 2023 as well as number of other quality players to lead their charge in the coming season.

from FQPL2 in the first round of the Kappa Women’s Super Cup. These two sides know eachother very well having played against eachother last season. With Caboolture taking all 3 points on both occasions.

Coach Lucas will however be quietly optimistic heading into the match having recently playing out a 0-0 draw another strong FQPL2 side in UQFC. Having bolstered the squad with a few extra quality players there is no reason why our women’s side can't shock a few and send a message to other FQPL3 sides that they mean business in 2023. The u23s kick off in a curtain raiser beforehand against Caboolture u23s. Be sure to be down at The Summit in what is going to be a great night of football.
