The result stretched their run of games without a win to four and left them only three points above APIA at the bottom of the table.

They take on an APIA side that has failed to get going this season with only one win so far this campaign. New coach Paul Dee has had a few weeks to find his feet, but results are needed sooner rather than later with the side at the bottom of the table. Paul Galimi has had some brilliant performances this season and will once again be a rock at the back for APIA alongside another top performer for the club Josh Symons. 1ST GRADE LADDER POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Rockdale Ilinden FC 7 4 2 1 13 8 5 14 2 Sydney United 58 FC 7 4 1 2 13 10 3 13 3 Manly United FC 7 3 3 1 8 6 2 12 4 Mt Druitt Town Rangers FC 7 3 2 2 9 11 -2 11 5 Blacktown City FC 7 3 1 3 9 7 2 10 6 Sydney Olympic FC 7 3 0 4 6 6 0 9 7 Wollongong Wolves FC 7 2 3 2 7 8 -1 9 8 Northbridge Bulls FC 7 2 2 3 13 12 1 8 9 Marconi Stallions FC 7 1 5 1 12 11 1 8 10 Sydney FC 7 2 2 3 10 14 -4 8 11 Sutherland Sharks FC 7 1 3 3 9 11 -2 6 12 APIA Leichhardt FC 7 1 2 4 4 9 -5 5 NPLNSW.COM.AU 5 FIRST GRADE REVIEWS Sydney FC 2 – Sutherland Sharks 2 at Rockdale APIA Leichhardt FC 1 – Marconi Stallions 1 at Ilinden Sports Centre Lambert Park A James Andrew goal in the dying seconds has A ten-man Marconi Stallions has held on for a 1-1 helped Sutherland Sharks snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw against APIA Leichhardt at Lambert Park on draw against Sydney FC at Rockdale Ilinden Sports Sunday.
