Premier Youth League Round 17

Overview
Sutherland Sharks may have been a tad disappointed that their visit to APIA Leichhardt Tigers yielded only nine points as they had taken thirteen points when the clubs met last time. Still, the Sharks did not lose s game on the day. 
Marconi Stallions went around the corner to meet neighbouring Sydney United and came away with a dozen points and that was an improvement on their last meeting when the clubs split the points at seven apiece.
Sydney Olympic showed a gain of nine points from their clash with Rockdale City Suns and that was very different from their first round encounter when Olympic bagged all the points.
Manly United and West Sydney Berries took seven points each from their fixture after the northern beaches outfit had grabbed eight points when the clubs faced each other last time around.
Blacktown City earned ten points from the four matches played at home against South Coast Wolves to reverse the first round outcome when the Wolves had earned twelve points.
Bankstown City and Bonnyrigg White Eagles shared the spoils at seven points each and that was a slight variation on the first round result when the White Eagles had pocketed nine points.

Marconi Stallions maintained their place at the top of the table and their margin of six points as they continued their perfect run with a 6-1 victory over seventh placed Sydney United who the Stallions had beaten 8-0 last time around.
Second placed West Sydney Berries had beaten fourth placed Manly United by the odd goal in five in the first round and the Berries completed the double with a 2-0 victory this week.
When Sydney Olympic faced Rockdale City Suns last time Olympic posted a 10-0 result and so it was not surprising that the trend continued with the Blues recording an 8-0 scoreline this time to remain at third, leaving the Suns at the foot of the table.
