Waratah Cup Round 3 Draw announced (9th May Updated Results)

Thirty-two teams are left facing the arduous task of being crowned the next Waratah Cup champions as sixteen matches will take centre stage for round three of the Waratah Cup.
There will be three entertaining all NSW Premier League battles that look the goods as 2011 Waratah Cup Champions Manly United travel to take on the Sutherland Sharks, Sydney Olympic have been drawn to face the Marconi Stallions while Sydney United 58 have been paired to take on Blacktown City FC.
There will also be an all Illawarra Premier League affair as Dapto Dandaloo face Tarrawanna in what should be an explosive match between the two South Coast based clubs. Dapto Dandaloo coached by Norm Boardman and Tarrawanna coached by Luke McGuire will be eagerly anticipating this clash. Dapto Dandaloo defeated Tarrawanna 5-1 in their opening Illawarra Premier League fixture and are currently undefeated so they?ll be going into this as firm favourites but anything can happen in Cup football.
One association side remains in the hunt for the cup and that honour has gone to Gladesville Hornsby Association?s Hills Pumas who face a tough task taking on NSW Super League side Bankstown City Lions.
NSW Premier League side Parramatta FC have been drawn to take on NSW Super League side Dulwich Hill which should be an interesting clash as will the Rockdale City Suns led by new coach Mark Rudan who face Prospect United.
State League One side Mt Druitt Town Rangers will face Super League side Spirit FC while Fraser Park entertain Fairfield City Lions.
