There were plenty of goals the last time these two sides met, and it should be more of the same this Sutherland has not tasted victory in six weeks since Saturday at Seymour Shaw. they edged Manly United 1-0 in round nine and will be fired up to end their wretched run of results. Wing-backs Gabriel Contigiani and Chris Lindsay play a big part in how the Sharks like to play and will be ones to keep an eye on this weekend. APIA also comes into this game on the back of a draw after being held 1-1 by Sydney Olympic last Sunday. The Paul Dee coached side is sitting just outside the top five and is in need of the three competition points to stay in contention for a place in the finals. Central defender Themba Muata-Marlow was a standout performer last week. His ability to lockdown opposition strikers will be crucial if APIA collects victory on the road. 1ST GRADE LADDER POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Sydney United 58 FC 14 8 4 2 29 14 15 28 2 Blacktown City FC 14 8 3 3 27 13 14 27 3 Rockdale Ilinden FC 14 6 6 2 25 15 10 24 4 Mt Druitt Town Rangers FC 14 5 5 4 18 19 -1 20 5 Manly United FC 14 5 5 4 17 20 -3 20 6 Wollongong Wolves FC 14 5 4 5 19 25 -6 19 7 APIA Leichhardt FC 14 5 3 6 17 18 -1 18 8 Sydney Olympic FC 14 5 3 6 16 17 -1 18 9 Marconi Stallions FC 14 2 9 3 21 22 -1 15 10 Northbridge Bulls FC 14 3 5 6 27 25 2 14 11 Sutherland Sharks FC 14 2 5 7 16 27 -11 11 12 Sydney FC 14 2 4 8 22 39 -17 10 NPLNSW.COM.AU 5 PLAYER PROFILES 6 #NPLNSW PLAYER PROFILES NPLNSW.COM.AU 7 Train Bare @trainbare 8 TRAINBARE.COM.AU #NPLNSW School Holidays JULY 2021 WEEK 1 Girls - Female Football Clinic ► June 28th (Monday) ► June 29th (Tuesday) WEEK 1 Open to All ► June 30th (Wednesday) ► July 1st (Thursday) ► July 2nd (Friday) WEEK 2 Open to All ► July 6th (Tuesday) ► July 7th (Wednesday) ► July 8th (Thursday) FURTHER INFO - SCAN THE QR CODE OR VISIT SUTHERLANDSHARKSFC.COM.AU FIRST GRADE REVIEWS Sydney United 58 0 – Sutherland Sharks 0 at APIA Leichhardt 1 – Sydney Olympic 1 at Sydney United Sports Centre Lambert Park Sydney United 58 were held by a dogged A second-half strike from Sam McIllhatton has Sutherland Sharks FC side in a pulsating 0-0 draw on helped APIA Leichhardt fight back to claim a 1-1 draw Sunday afternoon at Sydney United Sports Centre. against Inner-West Sydney Rivals Sydney Olympic during their Festival of Football clash on Sunday.
