It is sure to be an interesting contest with fans intrigued to see if Rockdale has turned the corner Porecca resisted the temptation to make wholesale or if they will fall back into bad habits against a hard changes last week to a Rockdale side which had working and enthusiastic Sydney FC team. failed to score in three games while conceding nine. Leigh Egger and Aleks Canak returned to the starting team while Khang Hoon Cho was given a call up as the Suns delivered a much improved showing. The Suns are still without star recruit Panny Nikas who remains sidelined with a knee injury while Alec Urosevski will be looking for a return to the starting team after coming off the bench for the past two games. Sydney FC suffered a last ditch 1-0 loss last week to Blacktown City in an at times dour contest. The Young Sky Blues struggled to create chances and paid the price after conceding a winner at the death. 1ST GRADE - NPL NSW MEN’S

NPLNSW.COM.AU 5 1ST GRADE REVIEWS

Rockdale City Suns 2 – Sydney Olympic 1 at Ilinden Sports Centre Rockdale City Suns secured their second win of the season over a 10-man Sydney Olympic at Illinden Sports Centre on Sunday evening. A goal to Khanh Hoon Cho and a penalty to Patrick Savor cancelled Olympic’s lone goal from Dimi Petratos to secure the victory for the home side. The win was crucial to the Suns campaign after the departure of coach Paul Reid earlier in the week. For Olympic the result could prove costly with the loss of Hagi Gligor to Injury a major blow.

Sydney FC 0 – Blacktown City FC 1 at Lambert Park James Demetriou scored a late goal to give Blacktown City a 1-0 win against Sydney FC in a tense encounter at Lambert Park on Saturday. Neither side appeared capable of creating a chance in the final third for much of the game, and Demetriou’s goal did little to improve this match as a spectacle. Still, Blacktown City won’t be particularly concerned by the entertainment on display, as they take three well-earned points back to Lily Homes Stadium at the end of Round 6.
