v Eumundi Platinum W 3–1 
Brandan with the early opener, a controversial handball penalty pegging it back, then Christian and Jared closing it out in the second half. Caloundra climb to fourth — finals still in their hands with four to play.
Brandan opens, a controversial penalty levels it, then Christian and Jared swing it back. Three points, fourth on the table, and a two-week break to patch the squad up.
Gary, Jamie, Roy and Wrighty assemble around the table to argue about Caloundra United's run-in. Back-to-back Div 2 titles, Scotty's boat, downward dogs, and an unorthodox toe poke.
Six midfielders out, a depleted bench, and two early goals to chase. Jared from the spot, Luke off the bench, Matt with the assist — but the deficit proved a step too far. Seventh on the table, Eumundi next.
Down a goal inside four minutes, level by eight, ahead by thirteen. Jared two and four assists, Aaron a brace, Christian Man of the Match — a complete response.
Three before the break, four by full time — Buddina's quality told. Paul's return from injury the bright spot; finals hopes now ride on a must-win run.
No trials. No politics. Bring boots, shin pads, and a willingness to do the warm-up properly this time.
