Expect few if any changes to his side for this match but if any player possibly earning themselves a promotion to the starting side it is James Demetriou who has scored twice in as many weeks after coming off the bench. Star midfielder and former A-League player Devante Clut was an unused substitute against APIA so he may be another player who could be elevated into the line-up. Rockdale come into the game on the up and up with two straight wins under interim coach Nick Porecca.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers 1 – Blacktown City FC 1 at Lambert Park A late Corey Biczo goal has helped APIA Leichhardt Tigers snatch a point as they were held to a 1-1 draw in their National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s clash against Blacktown City at Lambert Park on Good Friday. Biczo’s goal helped APIA take home a point from a tentative display from both sides with the match only coming alive in the final stages of the clash. Blacktown’s James Demetriou would’ve have thought he’d won it for his side when he scored off the bench at Lambert Park for the second week in a row, but Biczo was on hand a few minutes later to save the day for the hosts. It was the second low scoring draw in as many weeks for the Tigers who once again missed the chance to take top spot.

Rockdale City Suns FC 2 v Sydney FC 1 at Ilinden Sports Centre A two-goal flurry inside three second half minutes has helped Rockdale City Suns to a confidence boosting 2-1 win against Sydney FC at Ilinden Sports Centre on Sunday. Aleks Canak and Alec Urosevski’s strikes midway through the second stanza lifted the Rockdale faithful and helped interim coach Nick Porecca to his second straight National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s win. A first half dominated by the goalkeepers opened up after the break with Rockdale desperately pushing for an opening goal. However, with 20 minutes let on the clock Canak broke through the resilient Sydney defence and Urosevski followed only moments later. A late goal to Marco Tilio for the Young Sky Blues made for a tetchy closing minutes but a dramatic equaliser wasn’t to be as Rockdale climbed up the table with a big home victory.
