Young winger Mason Versi has been a strong performer for Blacktown the past few weeks and could be the surprise packet the home side need to get the win against the Sharks.

7 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Sydney FC 1 – Blacktown CIty FC 0 at Lambert Park A second half Luke Ivanovic strike has helped Sydney FC to a shock 1-0 upset of finals bound Blacktown CIty FC at Lambert Park on Saturday. The win was the Young Sky Blues first in weeks and all but secures their place in the NPL NSW competition for next season. Ivanovic’s runaway goal in the 70th minute, only seconds after taking to the field, was a rare highlight in a hard fought and at times dour game which featured few true chances. A late red card for Sydney’s Liam McGing wasn’t enough to stop the home side from collecting all three points. It was a frustrating defeat for Blacktown who were desperate to build momentum going into the finals series.

Sutherland Sharks 2 – Marconi Stallions 3 at Seymour Shaw Marconi Stallions have claimed a crucial 3-2 NSW Men’s win over Sutherland Sharks. The visitors bounced back from conceding in the first minute with goals to , Sean Rooney and Marko Jesic ensuring the pressure remains on Rockdale City Suns in fifth position. For Sutherland on the other hand, it’s a period of transition and Grant Lee’s troops put in a performance which nearly saw them take points off their visitors with goals to Nic Olsen and Hristijan Tanoski.

12 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

lacktown City have the opportunity to put an Bextra gloss on their Premiership on Sunday afternoon when they take on Sutherland Shark at Lily Homes Stadium. This match might’ve decided the title had Sutherland’s form not dipped so severely in the final weeks of the regular season –the Sharks now sit six points behind their Round 22 opponents despite having led them in first place for much of the year. Blacktown thrashed Sydney FC 4-0 to secure the Premiership last weekend, while Sutherland’s bid for the title was ended with a 1-0 defeat against Marconi. A re-match in the finals is a definite possibility, so neither side will want to concede ground here.
