It was a frustrating result for Paul Dee’s side who have struggled to string back to back wins this season. Against Mt Druitt, Manly took too long to hit their straps and were forced into a late scramble which proved unsuccessful. Dee has made few changes to his starting squad this season and expect that to continue this week. Marconi come into this game in devastating form scoring ten goals in their past two matches.

Mt Druitt Town Rangers 2 – Manly United 1 at Popondetta Park Mt Druitt Town Rangers backed up their midweek FFA Cup heroics to upset Manly United 2-1 at Popondetta Park Aidan Desmond’s men fought gallantly and never gave up even though Manly struck first via a Travis Oughtred header as a Toufic Alameddine penalty and John Roberts strike were enough to see the boys from Mt Druitt claim maximum points at home. Alameddine netted from the spot in the final minute of the first-half to level the scores after Oughtred opened the scoring in the 34’ minute when meeting a corner to head home. But it wasn’t enough as Roberts netted what turned out to be the winner in the 54’ minute with a sweetly struck shot that flew past Dylan Mitchell.

Marconi Stallions 5 – Sydney FC 2 at A Mitch Mallia hat trick has helped Marconi Stallions to a dominant 5-2 win against Sydney FC at Marconi Stadium on Sunday. Mallia was at his devastating best scoring twice in the first half and again in the third as the Stallions scored five goals for the second straight week. The former Blacktown City star gave Marconi a perfect start with goals in the 16th and the 36th as they claimed a 2-0 lead at the interval. The home side went from strength to strength in the second stanza as Mallia snatched his third before James Andrew and Damian Tsekenis also found the back of the net. Sydney FC claimed two goals in the second half but they proved to be mere consolation as a rampant Marconi outfit claimed their second win in as many weeks.
