Sitting pretty in third only weeks ago, Olympic has paid the price for a run of rough results and are only just clinging onto a finals spot. The Belmore boys suffered a 4-0 loss at the hands of league leaders Blacktown City last round and will need a much improved performance if they are to defeat second placed APIA.

Blacktown City FC 4 - Sydney Olympic FC 0 at Lily’s Football Centre A James Andrew hat trick and a dominant second half performance has helped PlayStation®4 NSW Men’s league leaders Blacktown City to a 4-0 victory over Sydney Olympic at Lily’s Football Centre on Sunday afternoon. The former Sutherland attacker was brought on at half time in a double substitution and laid on the opening goal for Joey Gibbs before claiming a fifteen-minute treble to keep City six points ahead of second-placed APIA Leichhardt. The result is Blacktown’s seventh league victory in a row and leaves the Seven Hills outfit in pole position to claim their ninth premiership with Mark Crittenden’s side likely to seal their first trophy of the season with a win over APIA Leichhardt when the two challengers meet in round 21.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers 6 - Parramatta FC 0 at Lambert Park APIA Leichhardt Tigers has returned to the winners circle with a dominant 6-0 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s victory against Parramatta FC at Lambert Park on Sunday. Jordan Murray was the star of the performance after the young striker scored a hat trick in only nine minutes in a relentless showing from APIA. An own goal from Parramatta’s Marcus Plataniotis started the APIA onslaught and within 29 minutes the home side had a six goal lead thanks to Murray’s three goals as well as a strike from Josh Symons and a second Parramatta own goal. APIA took their foot off the gas in the second half, but the damage was done as they clinched a vital three points after what has been a tough few weeks for the club.
