Goals to Bai Antoniou and Aleks Canak mid-way through the second stanza gave the Suns the upper hand. Sean Rooney struck with a curling free- kick in the final ten minutes to halve the deficit but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation goal for the visitors. Rockdale now have a firm grip on fifth spot with 29 points, five ahead of sixth placed Manly United. Sydney FC 2 – Sydney Olympic 3 at Lambert Park A second half resurgence was enough for Sydney Olympic to claim a 3-2 victory over Sydney FC at Lambert Park on Saturday night. After a slow first half, the visitors picked up the pace in the second stanza to secure an important three points that put them back in contention for the NSW National Premier Leagues Premiership, despite a last-minute penalty to Sydney FC. Goals to Max Burgess, Alejandro Sanchez and Nikola Kuleski cancelled out two penalty conversions from Sydney FC’s Jeremy Cox and Jerry Skotadis. Olympic are now level on points with top side APIA Leichhardt Tigers but remain in second spot because of an inferior goal difference. 6 NPLNSW.COM.AU TEAM OF THE WEEK 01: LARGE USE: OVER 150MM WIDE This logo has a smaller ‘®’ symbol FOOTBALL NSW WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEIR SPONSORS FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT 02: SMALL USE: 55MM - 150MM WIDE This logo has a larger ‘®’ symbol 7 DISCOVER OVER 1,200 COURSES, DIPLOMAS AND DEGREES AT AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROVIDER.

The Stallions take on Sydney FC on Sunday ahead of a clash with Sutherland Sharks in Round 21, fixtures from which Marconi must surely take at least a point if they’re to squeeze into the top five. Their opponents this weekend travel to Marconi Stadium following a 6-0 demolition of Sydney Olympic, Finn Ballard McBride running rampant with four goals.
