Mark Crittenden’s outfit welcome pack captain Matt Lewis for the match while Zach Cairncross is on track for a return to the starting line-up. The club does poses a fair bit of attacking power on paper with the likes of Joey Gibbs, , Danny Choi as well as Devante Clut who works his magic in the midfield alongside Connor Evans so expect them all to be at their very best come the weekend. Hakoah will have their work cut out against a fired-up Blacktown, but do come into the much off the back of a upset win against Sydney United 58. 1ST GRADE - NPL NSW MEN’S

5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Blacktown City FC 0 – Marconi Stallions FC 1 at Lily Homes Stadium Former Blacktown City fan favourite James Andrew has stung his former side after guiding a 10-man Marconi Stallions to a shock 1-0 upset at Lily Homes Stadium on Saturday. The former Blacktown attacker arrived as a half time substitute for Mateo Poljak and put the visitors ahead with a lovely finish ten minutes after the interval to help snap a five-match winless run for the Stallions. Andrew netted 11 league goals for Blacktown last campaign but proved to the bane for Crittenden’s men on the occasion, who slumped to their second defeat in as many weeks. While it might not set alarm bells ringing in Seven Hills, the manner of defeat will particularly sting for the hosts who were unable to score in consecutive matches and were dealt a lesson in pragmatism by Peter Tsekenis’ visitors.

Hakoah Sydney City East 2 – Sydney United 58 FC 0 at Hensley Athletic Field Hakoah Sydney City East have won a scrappy affair against Sydney United 58 FC 2-0 at Hensley Athletic Field The result was three vital points for the home side who in recent weeks have been somewhat unlucky, while for losing side Sydney United 58 FC it was definitely one that got away. A penalty from Mitchell Stamatellis 12 minutes into the contest and an Andre De Jong finnish in the second half was the difference as Hakoah claimed a shock upset. The home side were rewarded for their dogged defence and rapid counters as United 58 struggled to find a breakthrough.

wo of the competition’s form teams face off However should Hakoah continue their miserly Tin Seven Hills on Saturday afternoon with defensive performances of the last fortnight second-placed Blacktown City hosting Hakoah there’s every chance the boys from Hensley Sydney City East at Lily’s Football Centre. Athletic Field leave Seven Hills with what would be their biggest scalp of the season. John Carnevale’s side enter the clash on the back of five straight victories as City look to maintain pace with competition frontrunners Sutherland Sharks, who are currently four points ahead of Blacktown. The hosts should underline their status as the league’s best of the rest with a victory over Hakoah – a win that would be their sixth straight. But it won’t be easy against a visiting side that are slowly beginning to turn heads themselves. Hakoah were bottom of the table following a winless opening four rounds but three victories on the bounce has seen Paul Hubbard’s side race up into sixth position. The visitors have also kept two clean sheets in a row heading into the encounter which will bolster their confidence against Blacktown’s in-form frontline where Lachlan Rose, Jack Stewart and Adolph Koudakpo are all scoring freely.
