KICKOFF 2021 - ROUND 08

SATURDAY SYDNEY UNITED 17TH APRIL SPORTS CENTRE 3PM MEN’S CLUB WELCOME

Welcome to Sydney United Sports Centre for this afternoon’s NSW Men’s 2021 match between Northbridge Bulls and Manly United. The team is continuing to progress and play well with people starting to notice the type of football we are producing. Last week was a tough game against Rockdale but we proved that we could compete with one of the best teams in the NPL and were unlucky not to get more out of the game. I am proud of the boys and the way they applied themselves and played our brand of football. This week, we expect another difficult game against Manly United as they have started well this season. We love challenges and we love to test the players GO THE BULLS! against good opposition, so we are looking forward to this fixture. Mile Sterjovski Head Coach Good luck to both teams and we hope you all enjoy Saturday afternoon football at Sydney United Sports Centre.
