U18 MATCH PREVIEW

Firstly, congratulations to our senior men’s squads for reaching the top tier of men’s football in NSW. The time has finally come for us to display some attractive and entertaining football, and prove why we deserve to be here with the very best. In the pre-season our squad produced a lot of hard work and positive results that will make us very competitive for NPL football. Our main goal was to build team chemistry and I can assure you, as part of the coaching staff, we are very happy with where we are at. The main goal as a club has and always will be to take young talented footballers to the next level, i.e First Grade, National Y-League, and professional competitions. We have had a lot of success in this area with players going through to our affiliate club, Central Coast Mariners. This will be our main measure for this year in our lower men’s squads. With that will come a lot of results. We look forward to Round 3 where we meet for the first time Sydney FC. Brian Jamba NSM 18s - Assistant Coach
