Palm Beach Currumbin SHS and Kelvin Grove State College were the big winners of grand final day
Palm Beach Currumbin SHS's male Billy Turner Cup side and Kelvin Grove State College's female team have been crowned state champions after a gala grand final day. PBC SHS edged out Kelvin Grove 1-nil in the boys' thriller, with the decisive goal coming from the boot of Sam Butler. But Kelvin Grove did break through to claim the girls decider in a commanding 5-1 triumph over Cairns SHS. Marnie Cavanagh and Meadow Cruden were both two goal heroes, while Emma Messner-Gul's strike into the back of the net completed KG's assault. For Cairns, Ava Hansen made the score sheet with her successful strike. Both games featured outstanding team and individual performances, with PBC SHS's Archie Matthews being named boys Player of the Final while Kelvin Grove's Messner-Gul snared the girls' grand final Player of the Match. The finals at Wolves FC were a culmination of a wonderful state wide competition which featured fierce competition, sportsmanship and school pride. Earlier in the semi-finals, Palm Beach won through to the decider after a 2-nil win courtesy of goals from Tyrese Bake and Nate Bruni, while Kelvin Grove booked their ticket to the final with a comprehensive 6–1 win over Kawana Waters State College. For KG goals were scored by Milan Osbourne, Redon Naite, Cooper Palm, Bepo Mohseni, Karim Naguib. Aiden Gul netted the only goal for Kawana. In the girls, Cairns SHS cruised into the final with a 5–0 victory over Varsity State College, led by goals from Yui Akiyoshi, Yasmin Wyld-Hill, Alisha Mays, and a brace from Peyton Rose. Kelvin Grove then reached the final after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Chancellor State College, following a 1–1 draw in regulation time. Emma Messner-Gul and Bronte Pennells were the goal scorers in regular play. The third place playoffs in the boys saw Kawana Waters and Cairns SHS play out a 1–1 draw after goals from Kane Duffey and Sam Freeland respectively. 'The tournament once again highlighted the strength and depth of school football in Queensland,'' said one of the competition's co-ordinator, Jason Tobin. 'With outstanding individual performances, team spirit, and memorable moments throughout, the Bill Turner Cup continues to be a critical pathway in the development of young footballers.''

‘Gloriously neglected' worst house has roof (mostly intact)
A house described at 'gloriously neglected' has hit the market, with the listing offering a humorous take on its potential. 'You can practically hear the walls begging for some attention,' the listing for 6 Monro St in Kelvin Grove in Brisbane says. 'Welcome to 6 Monro Street - equal parts project, punishment, and potential. 'A monument to long-forgotten maintenance schedules and DIYs never done, this is the classic 'worst house on one of the best street's' - and that's precisely why you should be lining up.' It is being marketed by Mario Sultana and Brady Hope of Aurora Property Newmarket. As you approach the architectural relic, you are greeted by a roof that is, for the most part, doing its job. It was described as 'mostly intact'. 'Inside, you'll find the remains of a floorplan that once made sense,' the listing says. 'The kitchen, a main living space, small sun room and three bedrooms have undoubtedly seen better days (circa 1983, give or take). 'Timber floors throughout… somewhere underneath the carpet, linoleum and layers of dust. 'The bathroom? It's got four walls and terrazzo underfoot, all holding on with heroic determination.' It's the kind of bathroom that makes you appreciate the little things in life, like functioning plumbing and doors that close properly. Meanwhile, the kitchen is 'ripe for destruction'. 'Neglected for years, untouched by the local hardware store, and unbothered by style trends, this is a rare find for those who see past peeling paint and into property potential,' the listing says. 'With scope to renovate, rebuild or remove (subject to council approval) this property is a proper diamond in the very, very rough.' But it is set in an elevated pocket of Kelvin Grove, just moments from QUT, Victoria Park, Kelvin Grove State College and the city. On a 478sq m block, there is also a detached single lock-up garage or shed. The median house price in Kelvin Grove is now $1.355 milllion, up 8.4 per cent over the past 12 months and 65 per cent in five years, according to the latest REA Market Trends report. The Monro St property will go to auction on August 30
