Goalkeeper Tom Heward-Belle was Sydney FC’s best in the defeat to Manly making several big saves to keep his team in the game. Midfielder Jaiden Kucharski is a player who can turn a game for Sydney FC and he will be key to their chances on Sunday night. The Sharks have suffered a similar fate to the Young Sky Blues in recent weeks with only one win from their past four matches. Two losses last week in the space of a few days would’ve been a morale hit for the Shire based club and they will be desperate to get their season back on track. 1ST GRADE LADDER POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Manly United FC 6 3 3 0 8 4 4 12 2 Sydney United 58 FC 6 4 0 2 13 10 3 12 3 Rockdale Ilinden FC 6 3 2 1 12 8 4 11 4 Blacktown City FC 6 3 1 2 9 6 3 10 5 Northbridge Bulls FC 6 2 2 2 13 11 2 8 6 Mt Druitt Town Rangers FC 6 2 2 2 8 11 -3 8 7 Marconi Stallions FC 6 1 4 1 11 10 1 7 8 Sydney FC 6 2 1 3 8 12 -4 7 9 Sydney Olympic FC 5 2 0 3 4 5 -1 6 10 Sutherland Sharks FC 6 1 2 3 7 9 -2 5 11 Wollongong Wolves FC 5 1 2 2 6 8 -2 5 12 APIA Leichhardt FC 6 1 1 4 3 8 -5 4 NPLNSW.COM.AU 5 FIRST GRADE REVIEWS Manly United 2 – Sydney FC 0 at Cromer Park Sutherland Sharks FC 0 – Blacktown City FC 2 at Seymour Shaw Park Youngster Ben Gibson stole the show with a goal minutes into his senior debut as Manly United A Mario Shabow double has helped Blacktown City maintained their unbeaten start to the National to a 2-0 win against a ten-man Sutherland Sharks at Premier Leagues NSW season with a 2-0 victory over Seymour Shaw Park on Saturday.

    Volume 7 Issue 9 Newsletter of the NSW State League Football Referees September 2019 71 Welcome to this seventy first edition of “The Referee”, the newsletter for all NSW State League Football Referees. This newsletter will enable our branch to communicate directly with our members and will cover issues and areas of interest to all referees. Please Note: This is a Grand Final Picture edition only. We wish to ensure that all information, educational resources and opportunities that our branch provides for referees finds its way to those who are likely to benefit most – and that’s you! Identify the mood or temperature of the game and use this awareness to ensure an adjustment in pace and/or increased involvement to prevent problems. “Tempo” is the key word here again. Games can go in cycles, where the tempo increases or decreases at different times in the game. As the referee seeking to maintain match control an approach which varies with the tempo of the game usually helps – for instance when the tempo is high, then being pickier over free kicks to slow the game down, playing less advantage and increasing communication with players usually helps. A low tempo game, where the players are looking to get on with playing football (fairly) allows the referee to take a more relaxed approach, allow trivial offences to go unpunished and play more advantage.

  • To View the Private Academy Review
    2 | Review in to Private Academies and External Providers “In sunny Sydney, parents of football daft kids are spoiled for choice when it comes to academies. Much like the unseemly scramble for coveted spots at overpriced private schools, football academies in Sydney vie for the affluent and deluded dollar, fluttering their eyelashes and promising all kinds of untold riches, virtually mapping out the yellow brick road to soccer related success. All of which of course is complete and utter bollocks. Unlike elsewhere in the world the word ‘Academy’ means nothing here: it's a marketing label, with connotations that suggest elitism (true in the dollar sense, but nothing else), conjuring up images of well drilled kids starting off on the road to professional footballing careers. However unlike in the UK and elsewhere there are no scouts, no trials, no obstacles for entry into these elite training schools on silly things like actual footballing talent … no obstacles at all …… except (kerching!) the entry fee!” Craig Allan, “That’s not an Academy…. This is an Academy!” www.sunburntsoccer.com 3 | Review in to Private Academies and External Providers 4 | Review in to Private Academies and External Providers Acknowledgments The author would like to thank the following who contributed to this Review: The Board and Staff of Football NSW Staff of Football Federation Australia and its Member Federations Member Associations and their General Managers Professional Footballers Australia, Chief Executive Officer, John Didulica Football Coaches Australia
