KICKOFF 2021 - ROUND 10

SATURDAY UNITED 1ST MAY SPORTS CENTRE 7PM MEN’S CLUB WELCOME

We welcome players, staff, family, and fans to Sydney United Sports Centre for Round 10 of the NSW Men’s 2021 match between Northbridge Bulls and APIA Leichhardt. It has been a tough couple of weeks for the Bulls as we have had quite a few boys out with illness and injuries, proving to test our depth. Even though we did not get the result we wanted against Olympic we played some good football and the boys showed good heart and effort. I feel the turning point in the game was losing Niko Ujdur just before half time with a very late tackle where it looks like he has fractured his ankle.

Looking forward to this weekend, we are hoping Good luck to both teams and we hope you all enjoy to get a few boys back into the squad and look to Saturday Night Football at Sydney United Sports play our style of football. Our mindset will remain Centre. the same and we will look to put on a positive performance and strive for the win against a very GO THE BULLS! experienced APIA team. Mile Sterjovski Head Coach
