lacktown City’s 1-1 draw to Hakoah Sydney BCity East was the one of the biggest shocks of Round 1.

The PlayStation®4 NSW Men’s champions were caught off guard by a determined Hakoah side and were lucky defender Shayne D’Cunha scored in the final moments to rescue a last gasp draw.

Sutherland shouldn’t expect the same early season jitters from City. Tomohiro Kajiyama was a standout performer for the Sharks last week in a losing side and will lead the charge against Blacktown.

Both teams like to play exciting football and feature players who can break a game open with a moment of brilliance.

Expect plenty of goals.

Hakoah Sydney City East 1-3 Blacktown City, 1.00pm at Hensley Athletic Field Blacktown City began the season with a convincing 3-1 victory over Hakoah Sydney City East at Hensley Athletic Field. City cruised to a three goal advantage courtesy of strikes from Lachlan Rose, Dan Machara and a Mason Ireland penalty before Hakoah’s Satchel Kolt forced a consolation late on. Hakoah will search for their first points of the campaign when they face APIA Leichhardt at Lambert Park next week while Blacktown head to Sutherland in an enticing encounter at Seymour Shaw.

Sutherland Sharks 5-2 Manly United, 4.30pm at Seymour Shaw Sutherland Sharks 5-2 Manly United, 4.30pm at Seymour Shaw Sutherland Sharks opened their 2017 account in style by putting five past Manly United at Seymour Shaw. There were debut goals for Matthew Stewart, Jake Borromeo and Lachlan Everett as Sutherland put Manly to the sword with Patrick O’Shea and Matias Da Silva Santos completing the 5-2 rout. Manly’s Sipan Berti and Hamish Galbraith forced replies for the 2016 Premiers but it was a day to forget for United who begin the campaign at the foot of the table. Sutherland will aim to build on their big victory when they host Blacktown City at Seymour Shaw next weekend while Manly United welcome Bonnyrigg to Cromer Park
