BROADBEACH United remain in the hunt for a top-two finish, while Palm Beach’s finals dream has come to an end on a dramatic afternoon of Gold Coast Premier League action.

Trailing second-placed Surfers Paradise by three points ahead of their penultimate-round battle at Nikiforides Family Park, Broadbeach pulled level with a crucial 2-1 victory this afternoon.

UNITED’S HORROR RUN CONTINUES

With Apollo holding a far superior goal difference, the Dolphins must now pick up at least a point away to Palm Beach next weekend and hope Coomera beat Surfers at Lex Bell Oval.

Broadbeach United’s Josh Riis.

Palm Beach’s chances of catching fourth-placed Coomera are over following a 2-1 loss to Nerang at Glennon Park.

REVENGE IN MIND FOR KNIGHTS AGAINST STRIKERS

The result means the Eagles are now the only mathematical chance of leapfrogging the Colts into fourth spot, but a draw or win for the latter at home to Burleigh Heads tonight will end the discussion.

Tweed United host Mudgeeraba in tomorrow’s sole fixture.
