QFA SOUTH
Coolangatta-Tweed vs. Yeronga South Brisbane
2:00pm – Peak Oval
All QFA South games last weekend were cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. This allowed for all teams to take the week to rest their legs. Yeronga sitting at three over Coolangatta’s seven on the ladder will be the favourite coming in to this weekends clash. Coming away from a loss to Robina, Coolangatta will need to come out fiercely against Yeronga to register a win. Coolangatta have the home club advantage this weekend and need to use this to bolster team morale to put pressure on Yeronga.

Coorparoo vs. Burleigh
2:00pm – Giffin Park
Sitting pretty at the top of the ladder coming in to week 5, Coorparoo need a win over Burleigh to make sure they stay there. The team has now had two weeks off following a bye in round 3 and game cancellations in week 4. It will be interesting to see how they come out against the Bombers having rested for two consecutive weeks. Burleigh on the other hand had a narrow 19-point loss to Springwood in round 3 so will have added incentive to walk off the field this weekend with a win on the scoreboard.

Kenmore vs. Coomera
2:00pm – Western Districts Oval
The bears and magpies will come head to head at Western Districts Oval this week.

Following the break last week, the magpies need to show their united front on the field to get up over the bears.

Robina vs. Springwood
2:00pm – Scottsdale Drive
Underdogs Robina had a convincing win over Coolangatta in round 3. They will need to use that confidence coming in to this round against Springwood who are yet to lose a game.
