Match reports written by people who were definitely there. Training updates filtered through hindsight. The occasional pub review.
Sixth of eight, four wins and a draw, and a group that kept turning up on a Friday night. A look back at 2026 — special mentions for Gav and Baz, thanks to our sponsors — and the road to 2027, with registrations open now.
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.
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.
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.
Jared's first-half hat-trick had United 3-1 up at the break, but Buderim hit back with four unanswered to win 5-3 — a third straight defeat that drops Caloundra out of the top four.
Beetroot, spinach, lemon, turmeric — and one Nutribullet loud enough to wake neighbouring suburbs. The midfield's worst-kept secret has finally come out.
Short on numbers, two early returns from injury, Brando in goal after going down himself — Caloundra lose 6-2 away but leave with the benchmark, and top four, intact.
Two from Jared, two assists from Aaron, level at the break against the best side in the league — then squad depth told. Plenty to take from this one.
Design landed in record time. The shipping, the away-kit colour, and the referee's response — less so. A short history of how we ended up running out in not-quite-stone.
Aaron's first-half hat-trick, Brandan-Aaron carving the Magpies open at will, and a clean sheet that moved us second on the ladder. A statement night.
Two local success stories shaped by the same values: community, hospitality, and the rare ability to make 'one quick post-match drink' turn into three hours of analysis.
It's where the team actually lives. Casual kicks and fitness sessions get organised there, open training nights get posted there, and so does every chance to pull on a shirt — or to just rock up, watch, and have a beer with us afterwards. We're all about men's health: moving, laughing, and checking in on each other. Get involved.
