Caboolture Sports FC’s Queensland Kappa Pro Series journey came to an end on Friday night with a 5-0 defeat at home to Brisbane City, as the NPL side proved far too strong in the final group stage fixture.
Caboolture Sports FC round out their Queensland Kappa Pro Series group campaign on Friday night with a home clash against Brisbane City. While progression remains mathematically possible, the reality is that the Snakes enter the final matchday needing a miracle elsewhere to keep the dream alive.
Caboolture FC have been active in the transfer market this off-season, announcing ten signings so far and a new head coach as preparations ramp up for the 2026 campaign. While the squad is still being finalised, these additions already hint at ambition and an appetite to compete for the top of the FQPL1.
Caboolture FC extended their winning streak over Capalaba to six games in emphatic fashion on Friday night, notching a 6-1 victory at the Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex. While the mathematics of advancement are complex and unlikely, the Snakes have at least kept their slim dream alive with this emphatic win.
After a heavy 5-1 defeat to Moreton City Excelsior in their Kappa Pro Series opener, the Snakes will be looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd.
James Lane The 2025 Australian Baseball League season ended with one of the most unlikely championship outcomes in recent memory, as the Adelaide Giants upset the Sydney Blue Sox to claim the ABL title. Sydney entered the Championship Series as clear favourites after finishing the regular season with a dominant 24–14 record. Adelaide, by contrast, scraped into the postseason with a 19–20 mark and were widely viewed as underdogs heading into the three-game series in Sydney. Ov
Caboolture FC’s hopes of repeating last year’s famous upset against Moreton City Excelsior ended emphatically on Friday night, as the Snakes fell 5-1 on the road in the Kappa Pro Series opener.
Caboolture Sports FC begins its Queensland Kappa Pro Series campaign at 7:30 this Friday night with a tough trip to face Moreton City Excelsior.
Round 10 brought the regular season to its conclusion, and while the Australian Baseball League’s Championship Series pairing had been foreshadowed a week earlier, the final answers were only locked in after a tense, rain-affected weekend.
Sydney became the first team to clinch a spot in the Championship Series, navigating a road trip to Perth to take three of four. At the same time, Adelaide powered through Brisbane with a matching 3–1 series win, dragging themselves back to .500 and keeping their momentum in the battle for second.
Friday night football in Brisbane, and a chance to complete a useful comparison. This was my second A-League fixture of the series, with Brisbane Roar hosting Auckland FC at Suncorp Stadium for a 6:35 pm kickoff. Having seen the Roar play Wellington Phoenix at Redcliffe’s Kayo Stadium a week earlier, this felt like the natural next step: same league, same team, but in the city’s main sporting cathedral.
Wednesday night marked the first appearance of tennis in this series, with a visit to the Brisbane International night session beginning at 6:30 pm. Two matches were scheduled on Pat Rafter Arena: first, Australian Kimberly Birrell against American Amanda Anisimova, currently ranked third on the WTA Tour. The second match was a men’s doubles contest, featuring Australian favourites Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis against French pairing Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul.
The calendar flipped to a new year, and with it the final stretch of the ABL season came into view. Sydney remain on top, Adelaide proved they can bloody the league leaders, while Perth quietly assembled a series win that reshaped the chasing pack.
Saturday afternoon football in Queensland, and this time it was finally the A-League’s turn. After weeks of being told “it’s not great” or “you’ll see why people complain”, curiosity got the better of me. Brisbane Roar were hosting Wellington Phoenix in a 4:00 pm kickoff, with the Roar sitting an impressive third after significantly outperforming preseason expectations. Wellington, meanwhile, arrived in 10th and under pressure.
Round 7 delivered exactly what you'd hope for in the post-Christmas round: packed stadiums, wild momentum swings, two extra-inning finishes, and a ladder that twisted almost by the hour.
Round 6 brought two unexpectedly tight series, as blowouts were followed by nail-biters. At the centre of it all: the Sydney Blue Sox, who began the week by obliterating Adelaide, yet somehow still only split the series 2-2. Around them, Perth quietly stitched together a confidence-buidling weekend.
After a month of dominance, Round 5 finally brought the Sydney Blue Sox back to earth. Their franchise-record nine-game winning streak was snapped with not just one, but two losses over the weekend.
Round 4 delivered us a Sydney team that can’t stop winning, and a wonderfully unpredictable Bandits-Giants matchup. For Perth, it was the nightmare continuation of a slump that’s risks becoming outright alarming.
For the first time this season, the ABL got through a full slate of eight games. And in that rare clarity, one truth emerged above everything else: the Sydney Blue Sox are dangerous. A dominant 4–0 sweep over Adelaide has launched the Sox to the top of the ladder, while Brisbane and Perth delivered a wildly uneven yet perfectly balanced 2–2 split.
Week 2 of the ABL season saw plenty more action and another healthy dose of meddling by the weather. The Adelaide Giants were the big winners, extending their win streak to four, while Brisbane and Sydney traded blows in a four-game split.
