The Youth League Report (Premier Youth League) Round 6

We all acknowledge that we badly need the wet weather for our dams, gardens and football fields but it really becomes a nuisance when in actually interferes with the football matches.
With no matches being played next weekend, I will take the opportunity to look back on the season so far but do not expect any crystal ball gazing.
Overview
Blacktown City Demons pocketed a very solid thirteen points from their visit to Bonnyrigg White Eagles while Penrith Nepean United would have been pleased with the twelve points they took at home to Wollongong FC.
Marconi Stallions may not have been quite as pleased as they could only earn eight points at home to Sutherland Sharks and Sydney United bagged eight points from their trip to West Sydney Berries.
The Sydney Tigers v Bankstown City and Sydney Olympic v Manly United fixtures plus the NSWIS Girls v Sydney United (Grades 14 and 15) and the NSWIS Boys v Sydney Tigers (Grade 18) matches were all washed out in the past week and they will be rescheduled shortly.
