Comeback against Gunners falls short

GOLD COAST 3
CAPITAL DISTRICT 4
One of these days Gold Coast FC will figure out a way grab a win over the CD Gunners. This time the club was put in a hole and was forced to climb out of it. With the efforts of players like Justin Braun and Brian Ching it looked as if a point could be salvaged. In the end it was not enough and the result was another loss to them.

Ching ready, Beckerman not ready, and a rematch with the Gunners

The mood all week has been great since winning over Union SC. Then on Wednesday it was released that Brian Ching will not be going to South Africa. (stupid Bradley) and rejoining Gold Coast FC. "We are pleased to have Ching back so soon but you have to wonder how someone like Findley makes the cut instead of Ching" said a Sun's spokesperson. On to the match at hand, The Suns will play the CD Gunners for the first time since a 2-1 defeat. It was a major setback for the club and one that hopefully will not come back and haunt the club at the end of the year. One noteable absense from the line up is Kyle Beckerman who did not practice all week with the club. Starters: Ching, Oduro, Braun, Alonso, McCarty, Magee, Jewsbury, Jankauskas, Onstad-GK. Subs: Nyassi, Galindo, Sealy. Reserves: Beckerman, Levesque.

Braun puts the Suns over the top

GOLD COAST 3
UNION SC 2
Its always nice to win. It is even better when a Gold Coast win comes against Union S.C. In a back and forth match, the game winner came from Justin Braun. This is the 2nd game winner that Justin has made for the club and it was a beauty. The win put Gold Coast level again. "We are pleased to be in the thick of things, but now have to find a way to get over the hump and go on a winning streak." said a Suns spokesperson. Also scoring goals for the club was Oduro and Magee.

Nothing golden about game 7

GOLD COAST 1
MONTGOMERY COUNTY 2
What a waste of a "golden" opportunity. Gold Coast FC went up against a struggling Montgomery County and handed them the match. Taking nothing away from our opponent, this was not the kind of result our side was expecting. The lone score came from Kyle Beckerman on Thursday! The entire Gold Coast FC lineup put up zero the rest of the way on Saturday and this resulted in a 2-1 loss. "Heads will roll. We let our fans down this week" said a Suns spokesperson. This is the 2nd 2-1 defeat Gold Coast has had this season. If these setbacks can be solved who knows how far this club can go.

Everything - but the win

GOLD COAST 4
ST LOUIS 7
There was no doubt that to defeat St Louis the Suns were going to need to play really well. "We knew we were not going to hold them scoreless or be in some sort of low scoring dog fight. We knew we had to just slug it out with them" said the clubs manager. The game would indeed become a slug fest as both traded blows. The difference in the game was Edson Buddle. If he is not BSL MVP then something is wrong. Although Angel, DeRosario, and Ricketts might have a complaint on that. (another topic for another day) Buddle only needed to score once but that is not how Buddle does things this year. He turned a close game into a 3 point loss for the Suns. In a game where both clubs were evenly matched and fighting head to head every step of the way, he is the difference and that is why nobody has been able to beat St Louis yet. Gold Coast is now 2-3.
