Sutherland Sharks will be determined to prove last Aside from Payne, Calleja is hoping his defence will week’s shock loss was a rare lapse and not a sign keep it water tight as they were in 2018 so expect of things to come when they host APIA Leichhardt big games from Themba Muata Marlow and Josh Tigers at Seymour Shaw on Saturday. Symons while expect the return from suspension of Paul Galimi to hype up his troops. The Sharks made a fast start to the 2019 season with a stunning 1-0 win on the road against reigning Early season results are important in setting the premiers Sydney Olympic, but a loss to Hakoah standard for the year ahead so expect nothing less Sydney City East last week was a sudden crash back than an all out grudge match when these sides face off. to earth for the boys from the Shire. Coach Terry Palapanis will be looking to Marc Warren to help marshall the defence as he did in week one, while the combination between Spanish midfield duo Juan and Raul Romero with Jeremy Cox up front will be the cornerstone of Sutherland’s attack. Their opponents APIA Leichhardt Tigers come into the game with a similar point to prove. John Calleja’s side was on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping from Wollongong and are driven to bounce back in quick fashion. New signing Chris Payne is hoping he can kick start his goal scoring tally with his new club against the Sharks after he had a number of flawed changes in the team’s humbling 3-0 loss to the Wollongong Wolves last Sunday. 1ST GRADE - NPL NSW MEN’S

NPLNSW.COM.AU 5 1ST GRADE REVIEWS

Sutherland Sharks 0 v Hakoah Sydney City East 1 A solitary Jack Green strike proved the difference for Hakoah Sydney City East against Sutherland Sharks in a tight encounter at Seymour Shaw on Saturday night. In an end-to-end contest that could well have produced more goals, both sides were at times wasteful in the final third. The defining moment of the night arrived six minutes into the second half as Hakoah fullback Jack Green won the ball back on halfway and marauded into the Sharks’ penalty area, before lashing home a thunderous half-volley at the front post. Whilst the hosts tried as they might to conjure a response, they were repeatedly denied thanks to an outstanding display from their former shot-stopper Ryan Norval. The result signaled a turnaround in fortunes for both clubs: the hosts were ultimately unable to replicate the form that saw them topple reigning premiers Sydney Olympic last time out, while Hakoah recorded their first victory of the campaign following a disappointing Round 1 display against Sydney FC.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers 0 v Wollongong Wolves 3 APIA Leichhardt Tigers fell to their first defeat of the season on Sunday afternoon as Wollongong Wolves’ Englishman Thomas James ran rampant on a slick surface at Lambert Park hitting a hat-trick with a 3-0 victory. The hosts started slowly, and were ultimately undone by individual mistakes which were duly punished by a striker in form. James opened the scoring midway through the first half, before adding a second and a third to complete his hat trick with twenty minutes remaining. APIA pushed in the closing stages but couldn’t apply a finishing touch to encouraging build-up work, and are left with work to do at the end of the second week of the season. It’s been a promising start for Luke Wilkshire’s troops who after two rounds have been the talk of the league hoping that they can further their victories with a tricky away trip to Sydney United 58 in round 3.
