Sydney United 58 FC 2- Sydney FC 1 at Sydney United Sports Centre A star performance from Panny Nikas has guided Sydney United 58 to a 2-1 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s win against Sydney FC at Sydney United Sports Centre on Sunday. United 58 took the ascendancy early and never looked back as they kept the young Sky Blues’ keeper busy with efforts throughout. Nikas was in trademark devastating form and gave the home side the lead on the cusp of halftime before Chris Payne wrapped up the result for United 58 midway through the second stanza. Sydney FC had three players backing up from a friendly against Arsenal midweek and it showed with the visitors making a slow start to the contest. However, a goal to John Iredale was no more than a consolation with United holding firm.
Hakoah Sydney City East 1-Wollongong Wolves 2 at Hensley Athletic Field Wollongong Wolves claimed a valuable 2-1 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s win over Hakoah Sydney City East at Hensley Athletic Field on Saturday night. Two goals from Peter Simonoski cancelled out Dean Bereveskos’ first half opener and sealed the comeback for the visitors. Hakoah went ahead in the 20th minute but were pegged back on the hour, before Simonoski scored his second of the night with a little over ten minutes remaining to hand Wollongong the win, and three much- needed points in their push for a place in the finals.

Saturday evening.

The Waratah Cup champions trail fifth-placed Rockdale by a solitary point and have proven tough test for any side in the competition on their day as a round eight stalemate with the Sky Blues shows. Connor Eldridge presents the central goal scoring danger for Hakoah with the forward notching his 10th strike of the season in last weekend’s 2-0 win over Wollongong, while
