Caloundra<\/a><\/span> got their first season in the Football Queensland Premier League 2<\/a><\/span> (FQPL 2) competition underway with a 4 goals to 2 win over Brisbane Knights FC<\/a><\/span> at their Meridan Plains<\/a><\/span>, Australia ground on Saturday night.\n<\/p>\n

“Starting the game that quickly, it just makes life a lot easier,” Caloundra player Ethan Galbraith said. “It was surprising but amazing at the same time. I think we started fast like we wanted to. And we got on top. And once you do that to a team, obviously it makes it hard for them to get back into it. But credit to them. Second half with the man down, they really battled and made it difficult for us. It’s obviously a tough place to come. Travel up the Coast on a weekend.”\n<\/p>\n

It was a tough away trip for the Brisbane Knights. Their first twenty minutes were slow with a bit of ill-discipline, according to their coach, Rob Shaw.\n<\/p>\n

“[It] cost us, I think, in that first half,” Shaw said. “[We] changed shape in the second half, showed, the boys settled, started to play football, a little bit better football. It actually worked in some ways, even the man down. The boys worked hard. It was a bit of a mountain to climb, though, after the first half, but can’t fault the effort though from the boys.”\n<\/p>\n

Caloundra will now travel to play Moreton City Excelsior<\/a><\/span> while Brisbane Knights hosting the Samford Rangers.\n<\/p>\n

“I think they’re a pretty tough team,” Galbraith said. “We’ll be up against it next week but looking forward to the challenge. They’ve got a lot of good players in there. [They’re a] very good team. So we’ll be up against it but ready for it.”\n<\/p>\n
