IGA NPL NSW Grade 20s Round 17 Review

APIA Leichhardt Tigers was the biggest winner on the weekend, grabbing a hugely important win against Marconi Stallions.
Elsewhere, Rockdale City Suns maintained their lead by beating Bonnyrigg White Eagles.
SATURDAY
Bonnyrigg White Eagles 2-3 Rockdale City Suns, at Bonnyrigg Sports Centre
Bonnyrigg White Eagles’s semi final hopes were extinguished as they went down gallantly to top of the table Rockdale City Suns on Saturday evening.
David Gullo and Chris Hatfield scored for the home side, but Nicholas Petrillo, Toufic Alameddine and Sotiri Kagaras scored for Rockdale City to give them the points.
South Coast 3-2 Manly United FC, at John Crehan Park
South Coast Wolves upset Manly United on Saturday night, keeping them in the hunt for the top five.
Matt Floro scored a double and Josh Bingham scored as well, rendering Jack Green and Tommy Morrisey’s goals irrelevant.
Sutherland Sharks 0-4 Blacktown City FC, at Seymour Shaw Park
Blacktown City traveled south to Seymour Shaw and ran out 4-0 winners after a fantastic performance.
An own goal, plus goals from Sam Perre (twice) and Luke Clifford gave a great display of Blacktown City’s potential, whilst for Sutherland, they are now sweating on a place in the top five. 
SUNDAY
Sydney Olympic FC 1-0 Blacktown Spartans, at Belmore Sports Ground
Sydney Olympic upset Blacktown Spartans on Sunday afternoon, a move that gives them some breathing space as they look to avoid the wooden spoon.
Spartans will be upset to have suffered another defeat this week, having been smashed in a catch up game by Marconi Stallions.
Marconi Stallions 0-1 APIA Leichhardt Tigers, at Marconi Stadium
APIA Leichhardt showed their true potential, knocking off Marconi Stallions on the Italian Derby.
A penalty from Sean Symons decided the match and puts APIA right into the Premiership race.
Sydney United 58 FC 0-3 Central Coast Mariners Academy, at Sydney United Sports Centre
Sydney United 58 FC crashed to a 3-0 home defeat at home to Central Coast Mariners Academy.
It is a defeat that could well extinguish Sydney United’s semi-final hopes, but for the Mariners it puts them back in the hunt.
