IGA NPL NSW Grade 20s Round 10 Review

Round 10 of the IGA NPL NSW Grade 20s saw Blacktown Spartans prevail in the Blacktown derby.

SATURDAY
Blacktown Spartans 2-1 Blacktown City FC, at Blacktown Football Park
Blacktown Spartans prevailed in the Blacktown derby, winning 2-1 at home to Blacktown City FC.

Andre Gioioso gave Spartans the lead, before Mitchell Osman doubled their money before half time.

Osman missed a penalty in the second half but it wasn’t at any great cost, despite Sam Perre’s late consolation goal for the visiting side.

South Coast Wolves 2-3 APIA Leichhardt Tigers, at John Crehan Park
APIA Leichhardt came away from the long trip to Wollongong with all three points, but they were pushed all the way by a plucky South Coast Wolves outfit.

Lee Gilroy and Brett Wilson scored for the home side, but a brace of goals from Marco Micevski and a goal from Matthew Castelnuovo saw APIA Leichhardt prevail.

SUNDAY
Sydney Olympic FC 0-2 Bonnyrigg White Eagles, at Belmore Sports Ground
Sydney Olympic’s struggle continued as they went down 2-0 to Bonnyrigg White Eagles.

Damien Smith and second half substitute Andrew Neophytou found themselves on the scoresheet as Olympic once again failed to make an impression.

Manly United FC 0-0 Sutherland Sharks, at Cromer Park
Manly United and Sutherland Sharks played out a 0-0 stalemate at Cromer Park.

The two sides cancelled one another out in a tight affair.

Rockdale City Suns 2-3 Central Coast Mariners Academy, at Ilinden Sports Centre
Rockdale City Suns went down again, as CCM Academy got their season back on track with an impressive away victory.

Steve Whyte, Dylan Holz and Ryan Walker scored on a productive afternoon for Peter Preston’s side.

Marconi Stallions 1-1 Sydney United 58 FC, at Marconi Stadium
Marconi Stallions and Sydney United 58 FC played out a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon.

Jake McGing scored for the home side, who will feel that they should have taken all three points, given that they blew a chance from the penalty spot.
