5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

APIA Leichhardt Tigers 2-3 Sydney FC, 1.30pm at Lambert Park Sydney FC defeated APIA Leichhardt Tigers 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at Lambert Park to keep up the pressure on competition leader Sutherland Sharks. The Sky Blues had sensationally dropped points last weekend in a 5-5 draw with Bonnyrigg White Eagles but were too good for APIA Leichhardt with Hamish Lamberton’s brace and Jordan Swibel’s strike moving Sydney FC into third place. The double for Lamberton is his seventh and eighth goals of the campaign – the former Sydney United 58 frontman now takes outright lead in the race for the golden boot. APIA Leichhardt were on the scoresheet through Gino Cerasoli and Matthew Taverniti but were unable to avoid their second defeat of the season. Franco Consentino’s side face Manly United in a catch up fixture on Wednesday night before facing competition frontrunners Sutherland Sharks next Saturday afternoon Sydney FC host Manly United next Saturday night at Lambert Park.

Manly United 1-1 Rockdale City Suns, 5.00pm at Cromer Park Manly United and Rockdale City Suns settled for a 1-1 stalemate at Cromer Park on Saturday afternoon. The hosts were on the scoresheet through William Martin but Rockdale’s Dimitrios Petratos notched his second goal of the season to earn a point for the City Suns. The result leaves in tenth position ahead of a crunch match with bottom placed Sydney Olympic next Sunday lunchtime Manly are level with the Suns on five competition points but a vastly superior goal difference sees the Cromer Park outfit in eighth position. United take on APIA Leichhardt Tigers in Wednesday night’s catch up fixture before heading to Lambert Park for a meeting with Sydney FC on Saturday.

10 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

Sydney FC will look to put a rocky recent run of fixtures behind them for the visit of Manly United at Lambert Park on Saturday evening. The Sky Blues got back to winning ways thanks to a 3-2 victory over APIA Leichhardt Tigers last Saturday but previously surrendered points in high-scoring draws with Bonnyrigg White Eagles and Sydney United 58. Those 5-5 and 2-2 results for Sydney mean the side currently has the poorest defensive record (17 goals conceded) in the competition despite sitting comfortably in third position, and although the home side will enter the clash with Manly as favourites another complacent defensive showing could see them punished again. Manly have been unable to gather any significant momentum so far this season and may lack the flamboyancy of the Sky Blues, but have equally shown they can be a rigorously difficult challenge for anyone. The Cromer Park outfit has conceded just 6 goals in their five matches this campaign and may just have the formula to grab a victory to kick start their season.
