Division One Youth League Round 6 Review

The glorious autumn weather has meant that we had a full round of play over the weekend and that was great for everyone concerned.
The tables still have strange look about them and that will remain the case until the catch-up matches are played. Only then will we have a true picture of the competition tables. However, there was quite a lot of movement in some of the competitions this week.
Club Championship
Blacktown Spartans have extended their lead on this table to sixteen points after they bagged an even dozen from their clash with fourth placed Hurstville City Minotaurs while Gladesville Ryde Magic are still in second spot following their gain of ten points from fifth placed Sydney University.
Camden Tigers have retained third place but they may be a tad disappointed that they took only five points from Fraser Park who used their eight points share to hold onto seventh spot and Springwood are still sixth despite the fact that they could only earn four points from their visit to Mt Druitt Town Rangers who used their ten points to stay at tenth.
Stanmore Hawks could only take five points from Hakoah, an outcome that has left the clubs at ninth and eleventh respectively while tenth placed Rockdale City Suns and twelfth placed Hills United shared the spoils at six points each.
