With their lead over their nearest challengers – the Bulls [...]
The 2012 QSL season could be over for one of the Brisbane Strikers’ most versatile and reliable players, Josh Searle. Searle, who was substituted in the first half of last Saturday’s 3-0 loss to the Far North Queensland Bulls in Mareeba, learned today after visiting a surgeon for X-rays that he had suffered a fracture [...]
The Brisbane Strikers received an abrupt QSL reality check last night, dumped flat on their backsides by a FNQ Bulls team who produced a committed display of football to end the Strikers’ sixteen-game unbeaten run with a convincing 3-0 scoreline at Borzi Park in Mareeba.

The Brisbane Strikers took one more huge step towards winning their second QSL title today, and did so in the most satisfying way possible, removing the current champions Sunshine Coast Fire from the equation and banishing a Stockland Park hoodoo that stretched all the way back to March 2009 in beating the Fire 4-2. Twice [...]

Football, as they say, can be a funny old game. Funny as in ‘strange’. Even when things the football gods seem to be going against you they can also be going for you.
