Blacktown City 1 – Manly United 0 at Lily Homes Stadium Blacktown City FC has tightened their grip on third place after a tense 1-0 win against Manly United FC at Lily Homes Stadium on Sunday. Joey Gibbs injury time goal in the first half was enough to secure Blacktown’s eighth win of the season. Manly came to life at the end if the contest with a pair of free-kicks that flew over which might have salvaged a point but it wasn’t to be for Paul Dee’s side.

Mount Druitt Town Rangers 5 – Sydney FC 3 at Valentine Sports Park Mount Druitt Town Rangers FC climbed to eighth on the table on Saturday night after defeating a ten-man Sydney FC 5-3 in their NSW Men’s clash at Valentine Sports Park. A Fabricio Fernandez hat-trick helped the Rangers punish the Young Sky Blues who went a man down after only 15 minutes into the contest. The Uruguayan was at his devastating best in the match also set up Mirijan Pavlovic for a goal who himself finished the match with a trio of assists. Sydney FC was chasing the game from early on with Anton Lenaric sent off only 11 minutes in. Nevertheless they went down fighting with goals to Ryan Teague, Marco Tilio and Jordi Swibel setting up a thrilling finish to the match. However, it was Fernandez’s match as he wrapped up the win for Mt Druitt, and his hat-trick, with a cool finish eight minutes out from full-time.
