Round 19 Preview – League Two Men’s
Battles between sides close to each other on the ladder at every level will see teams tested to their fullest in Round 19 of the 2026 Football NSW League Two Men’s season.
Match of the Round: Nepean FC vs Dunbar Rovers FC
Friday, 12 June 2026 – 8pm, Jamison Park
Nepean FC will hope to continue their strong run of form against another promotion-chasing side in Dunbar Rovers FC in what promises to be a tight match.
4th-placed Nepean FC won a third match from their past four after their 3-1 away win over Bankstown United FC last week and will hope to earn a win which could take them up to 3rd. Toby Witjes will hope to score for a fourth straight week and add to his 14 league goals this season.
6th-placed Dunbar, meanwhile, got back to winning ways in style with a 4-1 home win over South Coast Flame FC last week and will hope to earn three points to rise above Nepean into 4th and avoid dropping as low as 7th.
With points crucial for both chasing sides, Nepean looking to complete the league double and Dunbar hoping to earn victory away as they did in the 2025 season, expect a tight contest with plenty of talking points.
Fraser Park FC vs Mounties Wanderers FC
Friday, 12 June 2026 – 8pm, Fraser Park
Third-placed Fraser Park FC will hope to capitalise on a twist in fortunes, looking to earn a win to take them into second and reduce the gap to the league leaders in the process. Francis McAlpine will look to add to his five goals in eight matches since his return as coach Arthur Alapidis hopes to stun the current table toppers.
League-leading Mounties, meanwhile, will hope to bounce back from just their second loss of the season last week and maintain their 13-point gap at the top of the ladder against one of the other promotion-chasing sides in Fraser Park, while also looking to complete the league double.
Inner West Hawks FC vs Gladesville Ryde Magic
Saturday, 13 June 2026 – 5pm, Arlington Oval
11th-placed Inner West Hawks FC will hope to respond to their tight 2-1 away loss to Granville Rage last week and will aim to complete the league double over Gladesville, as they did in the 2025 season.
13th-placed Gladesville Ryde Magic come into this match in strong form, having won three of their past four matches, and will hope to earn a win which would see them leapfrog Inner West on the ladder.
South Coast Flame FC vs Hawkesbury City FC
Saturday, 13 June 2026 – 5pm, Sir Ian McLennan Oval
9th-placed South Coast Flame FC lost a fourth match from their past five last week but will hope to earn their first win over Hawkesbury City FC since Round 10, 2023 when they host them, with a win potentially taking them as high as 6th on the ladder.
7th-placed Hawkesbury City FC will hope to earn a third head-to-head win from their past six against the Flame and extend their unbeaten head-to-head run, while also aiming to extend their three-match winning streak and rise as high as 4th on the ladder.
Parramatta FC vs Central Coast United FC
Saturday, 13 June 2026 – 5pm, Melita Stadium
2nd-placed Parramatta FC will hope to take the fight to one of the most in-form sides in the competition in Central Coast United FC, aiming to maintain or increase their one-point advantage in 2nd while also hunting a fifth straight clean sheet.
12th-placed Central Coast United, meanwhile, have won four of their past five matches and will hope to earn a win which could see them rise as high as 9th, looking to further shake up the promotion race after their win over league-leading Mounties Wanderers FC last week.
Sydney University SFC vs Granville Rage
Saturday, 13 June 2026 – 5pm, Sydney University Football Ground
10th-placed Sydney University SFC will hope to regain form after losing three of their past four matches against a Granville Rage side they have lost to in their past three meetings. A win for University could see them rise as high as 7th, while a loss could see them drop as low as 12th.
8th-placed Granville Rage returned to winning ways with a 2-1 home win over Inner West Hawks FC and will hope to earn a win which could take them as high as 5th on the ladder and keep them in touch with the promotion pack.
Camden Tigers FC vs Bankstown United FC
Saturday, 13 June 2026 – 7pm, Ron Dine Memorial Reserve
Last-placed Camden Tigers FC will once again hope to earn just their second win of the season, aiming to end a seven-match losing streak and turn their season around late.
14th-placed Bankstown United FC will hope to complete the league double over Camden after their late victory in the reverse fixture and will aim to avoid losing a fourth match from their past five in the league.
5th-placed Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC have a bye in Round 19.
