Despite their struggles this season, Manly sit only two points outside the top five and are still in the race for finals football.

Sydney FC 2 - Manly United FC 4 at Lambert Park Manly United FC has returned to the winners circle with an entertaining 4-2 PlayStation®4 NSW Men’s victory against Sydney FC at Lambert park. A double to Nikola Taneski, as well as goals to Leigh Egger and captain Brendan Cholakian ensured the Northern Beaches side kept in the race for a spot in the top five. For Sydney FC it was a result which could’ve very easily been different with the young Sky Blues taking an early lead through Christian Gonzalez and then equalising with more than 30 minutes to play courtesy of Nikola Kuleski. However, it wasn’t to be for Robbie Stanton’s side with Manly scoring twice late in the match to wrap up the result.

Sydney Olympic FC 2 - Parramatta FC 0 at Belmore Sports Ground Sydney Olympic eased to a 2-0 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s win over Parramatta FC at Belmore Sports Ground on Sunday afternoon. Goals in each half for Olympic secured a crucial victory to keep up pressure on the top two after a slip from APIA Leichhardt Tigers earlier in the round. The hosts were dominant throughout, and will consider themselves unfortunate not to have scored more than their two goals. Mohamed Rahimi opened the scoring early in the first half before Yu Kuboki added a second for Olympic ten minutes after the break, sealing what was ultimately a comfortable win for one of the Premiership hopefuls.

The Melita Stadium outfit are the competitions equal lowest scorers with just 13 goals to date and have failed to pick up a single point since their round five clash with Manly. Although Parramatta have a game in hand, the Eagles are seven points behind their eleventh-placed opponents and will be intent on reducing the deficit at Cromer Park. If the visitors can reverse their attacking fortunes they will fancy their chances at stopping the rot on the weekend, with the Manly defence suffering a miserable campaign to date having conceded 36 goals in their 15 matches.
