CLUB WELCOME

arconi Stallions have had a great start
Mto the 2018 season, so far undefeated, and will be focused on taking three points when they face APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC. With APIA also currently undefeated, the crowd will

deﬁnitely have an entertaining night ahead of

them. was victim of a heavy clash against Sydney

United FC in Round 1 which saw him miss the

second round against Bonnyrigg. No doubt Sean will be eager to get back out on the pitch and help his team walk away with the three points.

Marconi and APIA Leichhardt Tigers share plenty of history and Saturday’s clash will be yet another great chapter for these proud clubs.
Marconi have had one win, and one draw this season, and are looking forward to the return

1ST GRADE
MATCH PREVIEW

ith a win and a draw to their name from
Wthe opening two games, Marconi Stallions are sure to be impressed with their return to

the National Premier Leagues NSW top ﬂight.
New singing George Howard scored his ﬁrst

goal for his new club last round while the combination of Sean Symons and Jordan Murray continue to develop into one of the leagues most fearsome partnerships.
This round they face arguably their biggest test yet in 2017 Premiership winners APIA Leichhardt Tigers.
Both sides posses talent shot stoppers in Nenad Vekic and Ivan Necevski with both likely to be in for a busy evening.
Fast starts have been the cornerstone of the Stallions matches so far with the side scoring in the opening six minutes in consecutive weeks.
These clubs have shared many historic clashes over the years and Saturday nights could very well be another to add to the history books.

Experienced campaigners Sean Rooney and Marko Jesic make for a proliﬁc pairing while

Asian Champions League winner Mateo Poljak’s

ability to pull the strings in midﬁeld has proven

valuable. APIA’s high powered attack has hit the ground

running in 2018 with four goals in their ﬁrst two

games.

MATCH REVIEWS

Bonnyrigg White Eagles 1 – Marconi Stallions1 at Bonnyrigg Sports Club

Bonnyrigg White Eagles have fought back to

clinch their ﬁrst point of the National Premier

Leagues NSW 2018 season after a 1-1 draw with Marconi Stallions at Bonnyrigg Sports Club on Sunday night.

A Jewook Woo strike on the cusp of halftime ensured Brian Brown’s side avoided a second straight defeat after Marko Jesic gave Marconi the lead from the penalty spot only six minutes into the match.

Unlike their ﬁrst round victory, Marconi’s early

advantage wasn’t enough to make it two wins from as many games as Bonnyrigg found their form in the later stages of the clash.

Bonnyrigg will be disappointed to have not found a winner after a dominant second 45 minutes but late heroics from Marconi’s shot stopper

Nenad Vekic kept the scoreline locked at the ﬁnal

whistle.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers 2 v – Sydney Olympic FC 0 at Lambert Park

APIA Leichhardt has continued it’s ﬂawless start

to the season with a 2-0 win against Sydney Olympic at Lambert Park on Sunday.

A ﬁrst half George Howard penalty broke the

deadlock and Sean Symons doubled the score in the second stanza as the home side claimed all

three points despite stiﬂing heat against a tough Sydney Olympic outﬁt.

The win was APIA’s ﬁrst home win of the season

and builds on their opening round victory against Manly United.

For Sydney Olympic the result was a reality check after their opening week win but coach Abbas Saad will be able to take away plenty of positives from a performance which could’ve been very

diﬀerent if his side had more luck in front of goal.

U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

PIA Leichhardt Tigers are set to get their
A2018 campaign underway when they travel to Marconi Stadium to take on Marconi in

Saturday’s final fixture. Last season’s grand finalists have missed the

opening two rounds due to their Viareggio tour in which APIA faced development squads from the likes of Inter Milan and Parma but Franco Consentino’s side will now turn their attention to Marconi on Saturday.

Marconi have enjoyed a week’s rest after the

cancellation of their round two ﬁxture against

Bonnyrigg following their narrow round one defeat to Sydney United 58.

Former Sydney Olympic attacker Luca Kmet could be one for Marconi to watch out for after the APIA man impressed in Italy while the Tigers defence will need to keep a close eye on Stallions striker Brandon Stojcevski who found the net against United 58 in round one.
