#NPLNSWCLUB WELCOME

Good evening everyone and welcome to another huge clash at Lambert Park tonight

against Sydney United.

There are no easy games in the NPL and this is certainly the case tonight as we come up against one of the mainstays of the competition.

I’m confident in our boys’ abilities to get the job done and I’m expecting a structured, determined performance from the squad tonight.

There can be no lapses of concentration and we enter this match full of confidence and set out to do the badge proud.

I’d like to thank all our Members and fans for their backing during the season and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in the stands again tonight.

NPLNSW.COM.AU 1ST GRADE MATCH PREVIEW

Rooted to the bottom of the competition ladder, Sydney FC will be desperate to work

they way up the standings with a win against Sydney United 58 on Saturday night.

It has been a tough season for the Young Sky Blues despite a number of impressive displays.

A draw on the road in Wollongong against the Wollongong Wolves last round was a respectable result for Robbie Stanton’s team but they will need much more than that if they are to avoid the wooden spoon.

For Sydney United 58, the match will be a chance to get their game back after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Rockdale City Suns last Saturday.

Sydney FC have been forced to reshuffle their attacking stocks after the departure of boom attacker Hassan Jalloh to Marconi Stallions last week.

Jalloh’s exit has heaped extra pressure on Jeremy Cox at the top of the Sydney attack,

but if Luke Ivanovic’s performance against Wollongong is anything to go by Stanton may have a ready made replacement.

Panny Nikas delivered a vintage performance in a losing team last round and new Reds coach Miro Vlastelica will rely on his veteran nous and experience to help get the team back to its best.

Sydney United 58 will be the favourite to win this match but a Sydney FC upset is by no means out of the question.

#NPLNSWMATCH REVIEWSWollongong Wolves 1 – Sydney FC 1 at WIN Stadium

Wollongong Wolves and Sydney FC played out an open and entertaining 1-1 draw at WIN Stadium on Saturday night.

The goals hugged either side of the interval with Peter Simonoski opening the scoring for Wolves from the penalty spot late in the opening half.

The equaliser came soon after the restart as Jeremy Cox tucked the ball into an open net to cap off a swift team goal for the Young Sky Blues.

Both sides had chances to claim all three points, yet a draw was perhaps a fair result in an action packed match which kept the fans on the edge of their seats for the full ninety minutes.

Sydney United 58 0 – Rockdale City Suns 2 at Sydney United Sports Centre

Rockdale City Suns’ incredible resurgence added another chapter on Saturday with an incredible 2-0 win against Sydney United 58 at Sydney United Sports Centre.

It was an impressive performance from the Suns who took control of the match from the opening minute and never looked back to notch their third straight win.

Brayden Sorge helped Rockdale off to the perfect start when he netted in the opening seconds of the match before an Alec Urosevski goal in the first moments of the second stanza wrapped up the result.

The result moves the Suns well into reckoning for a top five position and finals football leaving their early season struggles as nothing more than an afterthought.

NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEWSydney FC will aim to remain in the

premiership hunt with a win over Sydney United 58 at Lambert Park this Saturday.

The Sky Blues have been big improvers in the last fortnight, registering a pair of huge wins over title rivals Sutherland Sharks and Wollongong Wolves, and should be in buoyant mood for the visit of Sydney United 58.

Giancarlo Italiano’s side have at times struggled to be ruthless this campaign, but the manner in which the Sky Blues have toppled their premiership contenders in the past two weeks suggests Sydney might be the real deal.

But Sydney must avoid complacency when the Reds arrive at Lambert Park, who are now only three points away from re-entering the top five. United 58 have won three of their last four and after a horrible six-match winless run earlier in the season appear to be heading back in the right direction.
