FIRST GRADE

Parramatta FC’s nightmare season is almost over with a visit from Bonnyrigg White

Eagles on Sunday the final chapter.

Marshall Soper’s side ended their 14 match losing streak last round with a 0-0 draw against Sutherland Sharks and will want to finish their season on a high note.

It is a similar story for Bonnyrigg who have suffered a difficult season after major injuries plagued their squad.

While this clash has no implications on the top five, both teams will be giving everything they can to take three points from the final match of the season.

Parramatta FC 0 - Sutherland Sharks 0 at Melita Stadium

Parramatta FC has snapped its 14-match losing streak after battling to a 0-0 draw with Sutherland Sharks in a dour PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s contest at Melita Stadium on Saturday evening.

The stalemate is the Eagles’ first competition point gained since a 2-2 draw with competition frontrunners Blacktown City back in round six and although Marshall Soper’s outfit will take significant pride from the result they will perhaps regret not claiming all three after offering their best performance of the former Socceroo’s short reign so far.

Goal scoring opportunities were extremely limited for both sides on a night haunted by the infamous Melita Stadium bounce. Despite some standout performers from the home side this was very much an encounter that underlined the shortcomings of the two most youthful squads in the competition.

The result mathematically confirms a bottom-placed finish for Parramatta while Sutherland move level on points with ninth-placed Bonnyrigg but trail the White Eagles on goal difference.

Sydney FC 3 - Bonnyrigg White Eagles 1 at Lambert Park

Sydney FC took all three points from a stirring clash with Bonnyrigg White Eagles on Saturday night to secure a 3-1 victory in the penultimate round of the PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s regular season.

John Iredale put Sydney FC into the lead midway through the half before Asmir Kadric levelled for the visitors a little over ten minutes later.

However, the hosts would go into the break in front after debutant Jerry Skodatis finished off a remarkable team move, and sealed their win in the 76th minute when Iredale scored his second of the game.

THE RACE TOWARDS THE

What your club needs to do to make the finals of the PlayStation 4 National

Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition. 1. APIA LEICHHARDT TIGERS FCBest Finish: 1stWorst Finish: 2ndWith the best defence in the league and the best attack, APIA’s rise to the summit of the competition table after a vital victory over Blacktown City had an air of inevitability and vindication about it.The Tigers have one hand on the Premiership trophy heading into the final round of the regular season, and only need a draw against Rockdale at Lambert Park on Sunday afternoon to be officially crowned premiers for 2017.The incentives for finishing top don’t stop there.APIA will enjoy a week off - a much needed reward after a hectic schedule in the Waratah and Westfield FFA Cup - as well as an all-important second chance in the finals if they can secure victory over Rockdale City Suns in the final round of the season.Can APIA take out the Premiership something they last won fourteen long seasons ago? The Suns stand in their way of that fate.2. BLACKTOWN CITY FCBest Finish: 1stWorst Finish: 2ndHaving spent a total of 58 days on top of the competition table, more than any other team in the league, Blacktown City’s demoralising defeat to APIA on Sunday afternoon may prove to be a defining moment in not just the race for the Premiership trophy, but also the Club Championship.After Round 21’s results, Blacktown City hold a narrow 8-point lead over APIA Leichhardt Tigers in the Club Championship.Worryingly for Mark Crittenden’s men, their form looks to have plummeted at the worst

possible time (excluding their 3-2 heroics in the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 knocking off the Central Coast Mariners).A dismal run of just one point in three games has Blacktown in alarming decline on the eve of the finals.And it doesn’t get any easier in their final match of the season; when they travel to the home of familiar foe, Sydney United 58. The Reds suffered a heart-breaking defeat at the hands of Manly United last round, effectively ending their season, but would undoubtedly love to drive another dagger into the heart of Blacktown City’s Premiership aspirations after they lost out to them in the 2016 Grand Final.In saying that, if there’s one team that you should never count out of any calculations on doing the unthinkable its Blacktown City who carry a strong never say die attitude that may well get them across that line once more.3. ROCKDALE CITY SUNS FCBest Finish: 3rdWorst Finish: 4thRockdale City Suns hold all the cards in the race for the Premiership trophy.If they manage to defeat APIA in the final game of the season, it opens the door for Blacktown City to perform a Stephen Bradbury-esque come from behind victory – sealing their second Premiership in just three seasons.Knowing a victory will secure a third place finish and a vital second chance in the first round of the finals, Rockdale City Suns will not be short of motivation in this fixture at Lambert Park.Whilst the comfort of a second chance in the finals is on offer for Rockdale if they can beat APIA on the weekend, the perils of a straight knockout fixture looms large if they lose and Manly United beat Hakoah.Rockdale’s final game of the season against APIA appears to be a match of almost innumerable consequences and huge

significance as an enthralling race for both the premiership and top five qualification reaches its climax.4. MANLY UNITED FCBest Finish: 3rdWorst Finish: 5thIf you don’t believe in miracles, watch the highlights from Manly United’s incredible 3-2-comeback victory against Sydney United 58 on Sunday afternoon.A victory that not only ensures Manly’s qualification for this year’s finals, but also brings an end to the top five ambitions of Mark Rudan’s team.Erratic at best in recent weeks, with a deserved win over Blacktown City followed up with a crushing 5-0 defeat at the hands of APIA Leichhardt Tigers, Manly United will be hoping to head into their do or die finals match against either Sydney Olympic of Wollongong Wolves full of confidence.With Dejan Pandurevic firing on all cylinders and the experienced head of Dylan Macallister leading the line, Manly will be tricky customers in the finals series and could make a run all the way to the Grand Final if they produce their best football.5. SYDNEY OLYMPIC FCBest Finish: 4thWorst Finish: 6thWhen Sergio Aguero scored that classic goal to win Manchester City the Premier League title in 2012, he ultimately had goal difference to thank, as his side finished level on points with Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team.Sydney Olympic, sitting just three points above sixth placed Wollongong Wolves, may be equally thankful for the invention of goal difference come full-time in their match against Sutherland Sharks on the weekend.Olympic will be short-priced favourites to take all three points against Sutherland, and their 9

point buffer in goal difference over the Wolves may prove a mountain too tall to climb for a desperate Wollongong side.Having already secured victories over APIA and Manly United this season, Olympic will fancy their chances if they can secure qualification in the finals. Apart from their inexplicable hoodoo against Blacktown City, Olympic have no reason to fear any side in the top five and with Jinya An and Yu Kuboki mercilessly leading their attack, they could prove a real dark horse in this year’s finals series.6. WOLLONGONG WOLVES FCBest Finish: 5thWorst Finish: 6thClinging to a belief in an unlikely top five qualification like an adolescent child stubbornly refusing to concede the fiction of Santa, Wollongong host Sydney FC in the final round of the competition, needing to overturn a whopping 9 goal differential to have any hope of qualifying for this year’s finals series.Patrick Antelmi has demonstrated his appetite for goals this season and Peter Simonoski has been scoring goals for fun in recent weeks.But their efforts may not be enough as Wollongong are still reliant on Sutherland snatching an unlikely victory over Olympic for the south-coast team to have any chance of qualification.

Parramatta will be looking to avoid a 16th consecutive defeat when Bonnyrigg White

Eagles arrive at Melita Stadium for one of the few dead rubbers awaiting this Sunday.

The Eagles put in one of their best displays of the campaign in round 21’s gallant 1-0 defeat to premiers Sutherland and despite their position Parramatta will be hell bent on snapping their losing streak on the last day of the season.

Playing Bonnyrigg may prove to be a stroke of fortune for the Melita Stadium outfit given that the White Eagles are unable to claim a finals position despite being on 32 competition points - level with Hakoah Sydney City East. Hamish Brown’s side experienced an awful start to the season which has ultimately come back to haunt the side who would need to rack up a cricket score to overturn their current goal difference of -22.
