Premier Youth League Round 3 Review

We should need to wait for another fortnight to gain some sort of real picture of what is really happening in each age group.
Meanwhile, I would love to include goal scorers and more detailed reports in this column each week but the only way I can do so is if the clubs provide me with the information. I do get out and about each week but I cannot possibly visit all eighteen match venues on a given weekend.
Therefore, every club has an open invitation to send me their details every week ? such as the scorers, the times the goals were scored and even a brief (if biased) report on each match. The only catch is that I need to receive this information before 9.00am on Monday mornings. You can send your information to barrydavis52@hotmail.com but please remember that anything sent after the deadline may be missed and therefore not included in the report.
Overview
Blacktown City had a very good day as they took thirteen of the available points from Rockdale City Suns and Manly United would have pleased with the twelve points they collected from APIA Tigers but less happy that they shared the Sunday points with Project 22 at four apiece.
Marconi Stallions earned ten points at home to neighbouring Bonnyrigg White Eagles while Sydney Olympic bagged nine points from their visit to Bankstown City.
Sutherland Sharks pocketed eight points when they hosted South Coast Wolves while Sydney United and West Sydney Berries shared the points equally at seven each.
