Carwardine FIRST GRADE NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH ydney FC will be out to end their maiden Sseason in the NSW top flight on a high note and what better way than a victory against their Round 21 opponents Bonnyrigg White Eagles. It has been a season of ups and downs for the Young Sky Blues but they have been able to hold their own against the competition’s best. Against Bonnyrigg they face another side which has struggled to find consistency this campaign and will be out to give their fans something to cheer about. Bonnyrigg has been much improved over the second half of the season and will be a tricky customer for Sydney FC. 1ST GRADE - PLAYSTATION 4 NPL NSW MEN’S POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Blacktown City FC 20 14 4 2 43 19 24 46 2 APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 20 15 0 5 48 17 31 45 3 Rockdale City Suns FC 20 11 5 4 39 26 13 38 4 Manly United FC 20 11 3 6 43 34 9 36 5 Sydney Olympic FC 20 10 4 6 29 22 7 34 6 Wollongong Wolves FC 20 11 1 8 28 25 3 34 7 Sydney United 58 FC 20 10 3 7 38 22 16 33 8 Hakoah Sydney City East FC 20 6 6 8 28 30 -2 24 9 Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC 20 4 4 12 28 47 -19 16 10 Sutherland Sharks FC 20 5 0 15 28 53 -25 15 11 Sydney FC 20 5 2 13 30 45 -15 11 C.

Carwardine 5 FIRST GRADE #PS4NPLNSW Sutherland Sharks FC 4 - Sydney FC 3 at Seymour Shaw Sutherland Sharks has edged out visitors Sydney FC 4-3 in a thrilling PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s clash at Seymour Shaw on Saturday. It was a confidence building return to the winners circle for Sutherland as a Jeremy Cox, Josh Da Silva, Nathan Elasi and Tomohiro Kajiyama all struck to guide the boys from the shire to victory. Inexperience got the better of Sydney FC with defensive lapses costing them despite them putting three on the scoreboard through Juan Zapata’s double and a John Iredale goal. Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC 1 - Wollongong Wolves FC 2 at Bonnyrigg Sports Club Wollongong Wolves have moved one step closer to PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s finals qualification with a 2-1 victory against Bonnyrigg White Eagles at Bonnyrigg Sports Club on Saturday. The result moved Jacob Timpano’s side into the top five for the first time since the opening weeks of the season. Goals to Peter Simonovski and Yuzo Tashiro were enough for the Wolves to claim the much needed three competition points. Asmir Kadric found the back of the net for the home side in the 88th minute but it was a mere consolation goal for Bonnyrigg who failed to give their fans the send off they desired in their final home match of the campaign. 6 ROUND 20 NPLNSW.COM.AU TEAM OF THE 01: LARGE USE: OVER 150MM WIDE This logo has a smaller ‘®’ symbol 02: FOOTBALL NSW WOULDSMAL LIKEL USE: TO55MM THANK - 150MM WID THEIRE SPONSORS FOR THEIRThis CONTINUED logo has a larger ‘ ®SUPPORT’ symbol 7 FEATURE STORY #PS4NPLNSW VALE ootball NSW is deeply saddened to hear “To many people, Les was football.

The Sky Blues have experienced a mini slump of late with just six points gained from their last five matches but remain a frequently tipped contender for the championship and would assure finals football with a win over the White Eagles. Hamish Brown’s side beat Wollongong Wolves in round 20 to keep their season alive but would need to win both their remaining fixtures to stand a chance of finishing in the five. Bonnyrigg had previously won seven matches in a row to climb from bottom of the table to as high as fifth in round seventeen but back to back losses to Sutherland and Rockdale have dented their semi-finals aspirations. Sydney forward John Iredale will have one eye on the golden boot race when the two sides meet with the Sky Blues leading scorer level with APIA Leichhardt’s Aedon Kyra on 15. 11 UNDER 18s #PS4NPLNSW 1 Tom FAY 65 Ljubisav BOGICEVIC 2 Evan TSAKOS 66 Daniel BOROVINA 3 Aaron GURD 67 Salvatore BARBARO 4 Phil CANCAR 68 Ethan DOSANJH 5 Mitch MATTISON 69 Pavle DRCA 6 Jake HOLLMAN 70 Brendan FICARRA 7 Marco TILIO 71 Luca FRASCA 8 Leo ABDO 72 Samuel DALEY 9 Jacob VASILIOU 73 Sherwan ISMAEEL HASAN 10 Rocco CHISARI 74 Hayden JAMER 11 Alex MASCIOVECCHIO 76 Gliso PRLIC 12 Jay HIRSCHOWITZ 77 GK Max ROWSTON 13 Paolo LAXAMANA 78 Justin SMITH 14 Benjamin KOOP 79 Brian SUTOMO 16 Bailey KUBECKA 80 Lachlan PRASAD 81 Avit PRASAD Head Coach: Jimmy Van Weeren Head Coach: Dejan Lukic Assistant Coach: Jason Rea Team Manager: Neven Cupac Manager: Richard Paddle UNDER 18s - PLAYSTATION 4 NPL NSW MEN’S POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Sydney FC 20 17 1 2 58 16 42 52 2 Rockdale City Suns FC 20 13 3 4 45 16 29 42 3 Sydney United 58 FC 20 12 3 5 40 25 15 39 4 Manly United FC 20 10 5 5 30 28 2 35 5 Wollongong Wolves FC 20 10 3 7 33 20 13 33 6 Blacktown City FC 20 8 3 9 34 26 8 27 7 Sutherland Sharks FC 20 8 2 10 29 36 -7 26 8 Hakoah Sydney City East FC 20 6 5 9 28 37 -9 23 9 Parramatta FC 20 5 5 10 25 45 -20 20 10 APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 20 4 6 10 32 44 -12 18 11 Sydney Olympic FC 20 2 6 12 29 54 -25 12 12 Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC 20 1 6 13 18 54 -36 9 12 FEATURE STORY NPLNSW.COM.AU SPOTLIGHT ON: ydney FC have promoted promising young Sattacker Chris Zuvela to their Hyundai A-League squad as one of the three eligible U20 players.
