The first record we can find of football in the Gold Coast region is in 1928, Mt Tambourine. It appears a club (the Tambourine Magpies) was formed and their first practice match was with the Kangaroo Point Stars who travelled to the mountain to play the Magpies in March that year. The more experienced Kangaroo Point Stars won the match 4-2.
A few months late on July 7th, the Tambourine Magpies invited the Annerley Soccer Club to the mountain for a match and won on their home grounds 3-1. Unfortunately there appears to be no further record of the Magpies after the 1920s.
