arramatta FC’s nightmare season is almost Pover with a visit from Bonnyrigg White Eagles on Sunday the final chapter.

Marshall Soper’s side ended their 14 match losing streak last round with a 0-0 draw against Sutherland Sharks and will want to finish their season on a high note.

It is a similar story for Bonnyrigg who have suffered a difficult season after major injuries plagued their squad.

While this clash has no implications on the top five, both teams will be giving everything they can to take three points from the final match of the season.

arramatta will be looking to avoid a 16th Pconsecutive defeat when Bonnyrigg White Eagles arrive at Melita Stadium for one of the few dead rubbers awaiting this Sunday. The Eagles put in one of their best displays of the campaign in round 21’s gallant 1-0 defeat to premiers Sutherland and despite their position Parramatta will be hell bent on snapping their losing streak on the last day of the season. Playing Bonnyrigg may prove to be a stroke of fortune for the Melita Stadium outfit given that the White Eagles are unable to claim a finals position despite being on 32 competition points - level with Hakoah Sydney City East. Hamish Brown’s side experienced an awful start to the season which has ultimately come back to haunt the side who would need to rack up a cricket score to overturn their current goal difference of -22.
