Brian Brown’s squad has been faced with an injury crisis and two defeats from their first two games. However, it’s not all fire and brimstone for the White Eagles with the side displaying plenty of promise in last week’s 3-5 loss to Manly. This week they take on a Blacktown City side still finding its feet after an offseason exodus of players. Mark Crittenden’s side has a draw and a win from the opening rounds but has failed to truly impress. Could Bonnyrigg finally find its feet against last season’s Grand Final winners? 1ST GRADE - PLAYSTATION 4 NPL NSW MEN’S POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Sydney Olympic FC 2 2 0 0 5 1 4 6 2 Manly United FC 2 2 0 0 8 5 3 6 3 APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 2 2 0 0 4 1 3 6 4 Rockdale City Suns FC 2 2 0 0 4 2 2 6 5 Blacktown City FC 2 1 1 0 3 2 1 4 6 Wollongong Wolves FC 2 1 0 1 4 4 0 3 7 Hakoah Sydney City East FC 2 0 1 1 1 3 -2 1 8 Sydney FC 1 0 0 1 1 2 -1 0 9 Sutherland Sharks FC 2 0 0 2 3 5 -2 0 10 Parramatta FC 1 0 0 1 1 3 -2 0 11 Sydney United 58 FC 2 0 0 2 2 4 -3 0 12 Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC 2 0 0 2 3 7 -4 0 5 FIRST GRADE #PS4NPLNSW REVIEWS Manly United 5 - Bonnyrigg White Eagles 3 at Cromer Park MANLY United is flying high in the PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition, this time beating Bonnyrigg 5-3 on Sunday afternoon at Cromer Park. In what was a pulsating encounter on the northern beaches, Warren Grieve’s men had to come from behind early in the second half to secure back to back victories in a great start to their 2017 campaign. Brendan Cholakian scored a double for Manly while Nikola Taneski, Dylan Macallister and Jamie Lobb also hit the back of the net for the home side. Bonnyrigg’s Greg Kondek opened the scoring and Troy Danaskos and Sam Gallaway also scored for the White Eagles, but it wasn’t enough in a game with plenty of goals to keep the crowd entertained. Blacktown City 2 - Sutherland Sharks 1 at Lily’s Football Stadium Daniel Araujo’s brace has helped Blacktown City notch their first PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition win of 2017 with a gritty 2-1 victory against Sutherland Sharks. The former Sydney FC man struck shortly before the interval at Lily’s Football Stadium, and then again fifteen minutes before full-time, to claim the three points for the reigning champions who overpowered Sutherland in a dominant second-half. Although Carlos Villazon’s side forced an excellent equaliser through Tomihiro Kajyiama, Blacktown’s failure to capitalise on there chances held back the home side. Sharks goalkeeper Nathan Denham was in fine form with a string of fine saves to hold City at bay. Instead, Sutherland were made to pay for allowing Araujo, who had earlier opened the scoring by hammering home a loose ball in the area, to drift into the penalty box unmarked late in the second half and guide Danny Choi’s cross into the ground and over Denham for the winner. 6 HEADINGROUND 2 NPLNSW.COM.AU TEAMSUBHEAD 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 FOOTBALL he PlayStation®4 (PS4™SOCCEROOS V UNITEDT ARAB EMIRATES 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA™ ASIAN QUALIFIERS TUESDAY 28 MARCH 2017 SYDNEY FOOTBALL STADIUM KICK-OFF 8PM 8 14043_FOOTBALL_Socceroos v UAE Flyer_A5.indd 1 3/02/2017 8:52 AM FEATURE STORY NPLNSW.COM.AU BONNYRIGG WHITE EAGLES DEBUT Debuting at the age of 16 in any league across the Coming through the youth program at the White world is a massive deal and achievement for both Eagles, it was only a matter of time the potent player and club. attacker would be given his chance at first grade On Saturday night, Luke Ivanovic had that honour, football. taking the field for the Bonnyrigg White Eagles’ Last season the youngster was registered in the round 1 against Sydney Olympic. under 16’s squad but saw him back up for the The call to warm up didn’t disrupt his preparations, under 20’s team for most games throughout the or raise any nerves for the youngster who just season, scoring prolifically in both grades. focused on the job at hand. “I started performing well for the 16’s under Ray “When the coaches told me to warm up, they said I Mandic before the 20’s coach Steve Sigmund called was going on in the second half”, Ivanovic said. me halfway through the year and asked me to play 20s. “Throughout the warm up I was just focusing on the roll I was going to play and how I could benefit “I was stoked, missing the 18’s to play 20s was a big the team.” step up.
